I wonder if there have been done long term studies on work enthusiasm and burn out. Given the cost good quality long term studies I kind of doubt it.

In psychology it quite often arises that something we perceive as a good trait but is generally kind of vague (like say self esteem) turns out to be correlated with what we consider bad more tangible traits (like narcissism, and criminal behavior). I wouldn’t be surprised if work enthusiasm is similar and correlates way more with stress, burnout, and high turnover rates, then with the popularly believed successful career.

I did a quick scan on search results for "work enthusiasm" google scholar and the research seems mixed. There are a lot of studies that correlate work enthusiasm (or worker’s zest) with good outcome, but a few in between that correlated it with burnout. This was also the case before the self-esteem camp was brought down with quality research.
Have you ever heard any of the people from that top list say "I'm not interested in making more money at almost no risk"?
Why is this a A/B test and not a regular test?
Fun fact: In Germany, most state parliaments and the state parliament still use hand-written stenography for protocols because it is still most reliable (catching all: shouts, noise-expressions from the crowd, etc.) and wasn't replaced by a typing system because up to date there is no typing stenography that keeps up with the speed of hand-written stenography (in German language).
Yep, 30 seconds is easier to remember as is 5 minutes for 5 9s :)
Reminds me of Sailing to Byzantium [1]

O sages standing in God's holy fire
As in the gold mosaic of a wall,
Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre,
And be the singing‐masters of my soul.
Consume my heart away; sick with desire
And fastened to a dying animal
It knows not what it is; and gather me
Into the artifice of eternity.

Yeah, but that is redirecting the focus away from the major problem that we face in practice, which is that M doubles and the money gets given to people who didn't earn it. To add insult to injury, they are also usually wealthy and taking extreme risks that destroy value.

It doesn't matter if prices double, remain constant or halve. It matters is people can afford more, the same or less stuff. At the moment, the rapid pace of technological advancement means most people should be able to afford much more and they can't because of the incessant money creation being done by people in charge of the system.

How to Turn Your User Engagement into Cash
While users are connected to a device all through the day, the kind of device changes depending on where they are. Yes, they spend most of their time of the day on the smartphone, but we also see them on the likes of Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Firestick, Roku, Playstation, Xbox, etc. So, to make sure you’re visible to them at all times, you need to be present across platforms.

I think you have a point. I mean making butter with a stick - how long does that take? Household work was probably alot ontop of payed work.
I'm curious about your service, can you explain what's different from similar services like happy scribe for instance?

As it was already said you should make clear which languages are supported.

And I think you should put prices in USD and/or Euros instead of TL (turkish lira), ideally Euro's for european visitors and UDS for the rest of the world. Besides the free tier, if I'm serious about the service I will be less keen to test it out before knowing the cost of it and at first I've seen the price without looking too much and thought it was pretty expensive before understanding it was expressed in TL's.
If Signal were to up and die, maybe. But I don't see the advantage this has over a Signal room with disappearing messages enabled. And Signal's advantage is that me and my entire network is already on it.
At first, I though "this article just made me realized I didn't use the python itertools.tee to its full potential".

But then I tried to think of a code where I would rather use this than a list comprehension or yield and a more manual control flow.

And I couldn't.

Those streams are elegant when the business logic flows perfectly like a river. Unfortunately, reality is messy, and production code will have matching, conditions, casting, extractions and transformations all over the place, leading to:

- very long chains of calls

- hard to change code when feedback pushes for it

- limiting your tooling (specially debuggers) to stuff that have exceptional support of chaining, and it's rare

Brandon Sanderson is my go to recommendation for fantasy nowadays. Mistborn is a great place to start but The Way of Kings is the real meat and potatoes. He also links all these books together in the same universe and it's fun to notice the connections.

As a US expat living in Europe, credit unions are a non-starter from me. Even big banks are not very good. USAA has been the best so far because they are set up to support military folks living over seas. I'm not in the military but I benefit from what they do to support those people.
I am reminded of a commend I read on HN a few years ago.

"Here lies marvin, who valiantly sacrificed his life in the name of progress.

I'd love to read a proper study on how people experience different types of hard work. I've worked overtime myself, and it's been a memorable experience when it's been for just a few weeks or months, and in pursuit of something that meaningfully advances the world.

But it would not be fun if it was only a peripheral advance, or it happened regularly. For me, it only works if it's something exceptional, to be done a few times.
BTW, this is a non-issue with C# 1.0 and later due to `yield return` syntax.

Nothing, at least nothing compared to regular tobacco which is my main point of reference since I have been addicted to it and quit.
This was a very strange workplace. Its atmosphere was half frat-like and half cult-like.

There was literal chest beating and shouting motivational stuff during sales meetings, an incredibly amount of beer (which isn't necessary an issue, but in this case it was), sometimes drugs (which led to some people being fired whenever it became public), lots of sexual harassment complaints (which also led to some surprise firings).

The cult-like part was the CEO fancying himself some Steve Jobs type, doing two-hour long presentations on random topics like his favourite economic ideas, or presenting a treatise against post-modernism. I of course knew which youtube videos he was plagiarising.

It really felt like a Silicon Valley parody when I finally got out.
Indeed. As a European, my time in academia very well illustrated this cultural divide. The first conference I ever went to as a completely fresh PhD student was in the US. The conference was naturally dominated by American PhD students. They were very nice and all, but the amount of effort they spent just to out-do each other in stories of amount of time worked was shocking to me. Of course, academic research is hard, and sometimes requires putting in late evenings, especially close to deadlines. But these young students were falling over themselves out-doing each other with tales of their regular graveyard sessions and soul-crushing lives.

I felt dismayed and sad. Was this life in academia? Luckily, only a short while later I went to another conference, this one dominated by European PhD students. More chill discussions over a beer at five o'clock, more talk about people's hobbies and free time. Still, hard work, but also life. I was relieved.

I have not been exposed to the work life of "ordinary" Americans, but all the stories seem to indicate that this attitude is pervasive. It's sad, I think. And certainly unhealthy. And it must also make work culture unbearable for Americans that do value a healthier work-life balance.
Excuse the separate replies.

> nurture is as important as nature for IQ

Yes, I know that but how does it show that group IQ certainly isn't determined by genetics of race?

> You don't get to propose a ridiculous theory and then make it everyone else's job to disprove you. Secondly, there is plenty of evidence that this is not genetic, not the least being that genes for intelligence don't work that way and there is no single gene for intelligence, and also race doesn't work that way and there is no single genetic makeup of everyone who is Black. No one has ever found a set of genes solidly linked to intelligence that is shared across every Black community.

Why is the idea that the effect of genes on life outcomes is correlated with race ridiculous but the idea that effect of genes on life outcomes cannot be correlated with race is not? How are you making the decision for ridiculousness?

Why does the number of genes need to be 1 or a common genetic makeup for every member of a race need to exist? You should explain that to link those facts to your conclusion.
Something that has helped me is not reading books cover to cover. Just pick out the information you need. And read a lot in parallel.
> The specific problem with the murder analogy is that governments have effective ways to reduce local crime. You can't do anything similar for stuff happening on the internet. Criminals come from all over the world.

Extradition for murderers is incredibly common, as are cross-boarder fraud investigations (look at the case of Frank Abagnale) so tracking down people internationally isn't a new thing.
Hmmm, if the beginning wasn't convincing then I somewhat doubt that the rest of the series is going to be a much better experience. And yeah, I don't think the tower mechanics really work out in the end. But it didn't bother me personally.

It ebbs and flows for me, but I'll never get that excitement back from when I was a kid. I just have to get fulfillment from doing my job well, finding and creating an elegant solution to a stupid problem. Knowing I can do my job well helps a lot, especially when I compare what I offer to what my competitors sling out in the world. It's B2B software, so the bar is set very low as just about all B2B software is atrocious.

What also helps is having interests and hobbies that are in no way related to your job.
Genuinely curious: What do you think would be the outcome of this reply?

In my previous team, it would have been "yeah I'm sorry, but there is a fire, this customer is paying us XYZ and threating to take their bussiness elsewhere, ...". Saying "no" would at best give you some additional resources.

(Note that I did say "previous" team and the reason this kept happening is precisely why that team is no longer my current one)
What you write could be written as:

...stream().
map(e -> e.getKey().getPrice().multiply(new BigDecimal(e.getValue()))).
reduce(BigDecimal.ZERO, BigDecimal::add)

The problem here is not the use of streams but that the author goes at the problem in a confusing and round about way.

If the end goal is to increase your knowledge then reading faster won't necessarily get you there.

You won't process the information faster or retain it any better. Instead, learning to put down a book when it's not good rather than forcing yourself to finish it and taking good notes or writing a book review are better approaches (for the goal of processing and retaining information for longer).
I think you’re going to have a hard time competing with the major cloud providers on transcription alone. AWS Transcribe, for example, is quite easy to use and supports batch transcription as well as streaming, custom language models, etc.

There’s still quite a bit of value-add possible on top of that, however. The ability to edit transcriptions is a great start, especially if you maintain timecodes against the media. Developing or curating domain-specific language models to improve accuracy is also a likely option. There also appears to be a lot of interest in using real time transcription to augment live events with content derived from the conversation.

Good luck!

I found it to be very intense, but part of that is having to get out of your comfort zone, change your speed of thinking and typing, and a lot of think and communicate before you act. That said, I don't oppose pairing, but only with a set time limit.
"In The Invisible Emperor: Napoleon on Elba from Exile to Escape (Profile, 2018), Mark Braude shows how even while rendered ‘invisible’ in his new, tiny dominion, Bonaparte remained a figure of fascination for locals and visitors alike. He even became a kind of tourist attraction, with people travelling [sic] from around Europe (and Britain, too) in a bid to catch a glimpse of or even to meet the ‘Corsican ogre’. Some were invited in by Napoleon: the British politician John Macnamara, visiting Elba out of curiosity, had a long conversation with him, during which he could not stop rubbing his eyes in amazement."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Macnamara [note: this wiki page omits the mention of the above visit]

I remember watching a B/W (50s?) film on N. (and wish I could recall the title) where a completely revisionist/conspiracy story of his 'fantastic' return from Elba to France was told. In that film, an English visitor basically green lighted his return to France based on revised geopolitical calculations of the British.

So, to conspiracy fans' delight, we find another British "Macnamara" in Wiki (whose bio is rather thin) [1] but at least includes this delicious little factoid: "Macnamara's personal assistant in 1935–36 was the Soviet spy Guy Burgess."

Very little is ever said (afaik) in general popular accounts and histories of Napoleon Bonaparte about the role of Bankers in his rise, fall, rise, and final fall. Dickens, in his A Tale of Two Cities (with one of the said "cities" possibly a wink-wink reference to the City of London) does have English characters in the employ of a certain "Tellson's Bank" that mysteriously have rather liberal freedom of movement between the two nations during the general period of the French Revolution.

https://askinglot.com/what-is-tellsons-bank

"Tellson's Bank, Temple Bar, Fleet Street, London, England It is thought that Charles Dickens based Tellson's Bank on Child & Co Bank located at 1 Fleet Street in London. The bank is now owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland."

This title cut-down to "why aren't text messages designed to boost college success working at scale?" was extremely confusing until I looked more carefully at the original article and saw it says "text message INTERVENTIONS". To save characters--if we are ignoring the half-rule to accept the upstream author's title--I would suggest changing "text message" to "sms" instead of dropping the key noun "interventions".
> In a country of 330 million people, with massively global interests, you're going to have to do a lot better than rare examples.

USA doesn't have massive global interest. Maybe its companies, but not it's state. USA is a very insular, and static system of a state.

It's a good example what happens in those very few cases when the machine of US state moves, and what is characteristic of it.

A meaningful political reform will start with somebody starting to uncork it, and forcefully subjecting it to contact with outside world.

The company you work for is not a personality.
Who is "we"? I don't know anybody that buys into this. In fact, I applied for a job at ASML once and they give me a case: Suppose you notice you can't finish all your work by the deadline next week, what do you do? I say: "Well, I don't mind spending some nights working if stuff really needs to be done." Wrong! Go to your project leader and tell him the things you could finish and which ones he wants you to focus on. We don't want burnt-out employees. The large healthcare company I work for now has the same attitude. I get weekly emails telling me to go for a walk daily, or about how management employees separate work and life during these challenging times.

I don't know anyone glorifying this lifestyle.
I can't tell if that is a serious or ironic comment. Others might also not be able to. So: Which one is it?

The tl;dr from the article:

> Implementing a texting campaign with hundreds of thousands of students may require organizations to forego advising and have texts provide just one-way content or to have large caseloads that limit how much engagement advisors can have with individual students.

> Another trade-off is that students may have less trust in a state agency or national nonprofit sending the messages.

> Finally, state- and national-level campaigns have typically sent content that is uniform across all students, whereas earlier, local campaigns often personalized information to students’ college plans or FAFSA (the United States’ government financial aid application) filing status.

> Even local text campaigns may face obstacles to efficacy that similar campaigns did not encounter to the same degree a decade ago. [...] As message volume through text increases, we should reasonably expect that any one message won’t get the same attention—and eventually, that people will migrate to other communications channels.

Quite a few large companies intentionally do not use audio transcription services, because they don't want the liability of everything everybody has ever said being written down in a format that can easily searched during legal discovery.
Yes, buying assets, but basically buying risk-free treasuries that come in inexhaustible quantities. When they make the purchase that money goes directly to the federal government to be spent.

And that money is in competition with others who are buying treasuries, driving down the interest rate (since it’s an auction) and presumably pushing that money to other uses.

So you are right, it’s not “given away”, but it’s a pretty frictionless way for “new money” to enter the financial system. It’s not like the money is put in a bank account and just sits there.

But your point is well taken. There is no “2 + 2 = 4” rule when it comes to money supply and inflation.
Skim examples when you know the concepts.

Some books really can't be read fast (e.g. math books). So the moment a book is not information dense, read strategically.

Also, skim topics fast you already know.
To be fair, Costa and McCrae did a lot of great work on the Big 5, but they really didn't like it when SEM/CFA didn't really support their theory.

In fact, they liked it so little that they invented Procrustean rotation so that they could make the factors come out the "correct" way.

Once I discovered that, I paid a lot less attention to the Big 5.

Also, I haven't checked the source papers, but that all blue stuff could come from a general tendency to agree with the questions/put a positive spin on that. I do know that not all personality measures are balanced on positive vs negative questions, to remove this bias (life satisfaction methods are almost certainly not balanced in this way).
My point is, recording (even if we talk about something like a chat log) is just data, but to convert it to notes, i.e. information, you need to do additional (editing) work. That is the hard problem.

Sure, searchable conversation data are better than nothing. But it is, by definition, disorganized. I worry about the future where people will stop making notes/docs just because they can record everything.
There is ample literature and probably lots of youtube guides and tutorials on the matter of "speed reading", and it works to quite some extent.

Oftentimes understanding will improve with faster reading, rather than the opposite.

I've always found it a bit hard to keep focused while reading long text and books. So after trying a lot of things I noticed that this method works really well for me and I was able read almost 7 books in a month with it. Though for me it only works when I set the speed to at least 2.5x normal otherwise I get bored. Also only non-fiction. It's 100% free because I made this only for myself, but maybe try it and see if it works for you too!
