I get the impression that a lot of gynecological care is in the same realm, but I don't have the equipment to have first hand anecdotal evidence. Heard many a horror story about IUD placement / removal, where folks were told that a Tylenol would be enough.

> Administration, payroll, regulatory compliance, safety programs, training programs...

These can be outsourced, automated and/or reduced in scope. Each company would be a lot more specialized in their function, so it wouldn't make sense to keep the same set of regulations and policies that we use for larger corporations.

> We will never escape the need for massive infrastructure projects.

Au contraire, I think that we only push for "massive infrastructure projects" because we are addicted to growth. Governments push for growth as a way to keep financing their debts, corporations push for growth as a way to justify their existence.

If we were limited in our ability to grow and established that things needed to be settled organically, cities would be more dispersed but still dense and suburbia would not exist. Global trade would be impacted, but we would be forced to re-learn how to manufacture things locally. Governments would have to figure out ways to sustain the populations with tighter constraints, but we would not get things like the European dependency on Russian gas, etc.
There's a middle ground that works better here. It's not like he wouldn't have started the company if his house was only $109million.

Amazon thinks long-term. They have a glut of warehouse space at the moment, and it is costing them dearly, but they probably hope to grow back into it when the upcoming recession is over. If Amazon successfully launches their program to buy with Prime from other stores, they could probably fill up their extra warehouse space pretty quickly. Think of Amazon handling logistics for every small retailer and even some big ones, regardless of whether they sell on amazon.com.
All of my experience dealing with the government says the exact opposite.

The coefficient of power of current heat pumps is over 4 in most operating environments.

It doesn't solve the storage problem, but it increases the price differential between electric and fossil fuels. That differential could be used for batteries, solar water heating, etc, etc.

Cooking off battery and using a heat pump water heater is pretty feasible at this point (feasible == cheaper than fossil fuels).

Heating the house and charging vehicles are the big energy hogs. Unfortunately, they're also big polluters.

There are 2 different metrics and I think you effectively shift from one to other as it suits you..

Metric 1: They provide an efficient service. Posts reach on time (rain or shine), they have systems and process that make the organization not waste effort.

Metric 2: They earn more money that what is spent by them.

By metric 1, postal service, railways and public transport in most places, a large part of governmental services (DMV), medicare in US are efficient. Depending on your neighborhood, even police, fire and ambulance are efficient.

by metric 2, most government services will not be efficient.. however, the government is not a business and I would argue that because people confuse 2 with 1 is why US does not have a better quality of life. The job of government is service using tax dollars.

Take public transport for example. In my mind, it should be mostly subsidized and effectively free. Trying to make it a profit center makes it a "non-public" transport and you end up with limited services which has secondary effect of reducing mobility and restraining the economy.

> How do these chemicals get into the body

I suspect an under-appreciated source of BPA and BPS is thermal ("receipt") paper. One receipt can contain 1000x as much BPA as a plastic-lined can[0], which is absorbed through the skin (especially when using hand sanitizer) or transferred to the mouth[1]. They can also contaminate objects in direct contact — cash, coins, wallets, clothing, food packaging, etc.

The official assumptions used to calculate the public's "typical exposure" are laughable[2]:

> For example, the European Food Safety Authority’s (EFSA) exposure model estimates one handling event per day for adolescents and adults as typical exposures, and 4.6 handling events per day as high exposures; each exposure was anticipated to last 10 seconds. EFSA also estimates that average exposure involves handling by three fingertips on one hand, and high exposure comprises handling by three fingertips on both hands (6 fingers total).

One behavioral change individuals can do is carry an envelope for receipts, and ask cashiers to place them directly in the envelope. If the cashier asks why, spread the word! Suggest that they ask their employer switch to non-phenol paper that doesn't contain BPA or BPS.

Japan's Zero Waste Town
None of what you've said about Bezos is dependent on him having wealth though. If you could somehow construct a functioning society without money, there would still be someone who has the exact same power/influence that you've described here.

Basically, when you remove money, something else becomes the currency you're describing. Taking away billionaires wealth might actually make it harder to identify the people who have this influence. Rather than news outlets writing articles every other day about Jeff, you'd have some shady person high up in some unelected bureaucracy getting to wield this power. How is that better?
A miscarriage / stillbirth isn't the same occurence as an intentional abortion, because if you intend to end a fetal life, you must also take care to make sure the ending is humane.

People die naturally in ways we would never allow a person to do intentionally (assisted suicide does not mean you get to assist someone to die in any way possible)
why? So instead we have government officials with more money to hand to random cronies and massively wasted via graft?

What I like about billionaires is they cut through the red tape and often through the inefficiencies. I actually like they don't need consensus to decide what to use their money for. I don't agree that taxing that money away from them is a net positive for society.

I think you're running into changing the governor mode here, which is a related but different part of the same ballpark. Modern Intel even has a "bias hint" allowed in addition to just a governor, where the user can help tell the power saving features what tradeoffs they prefer; power-saving mode is an additional limitation in conjunction with SpeedStep (or Turbo) P-state use; if the laptop is almost silent (no fans) you're surely clocking it down to avoid heat/thermal buildup (no fans) - this is usually used to conserve/extend battery to the max possible, at the expense of CPU clock speed.

This is a great, insightful presentation. I would add one more thing you can do about it. Namely, organizations work fast and best when they are small. To the extent you can, make sure it's really clear what each team does, and provide the leader of each team as much responsibility and 'skin in the game' as possible. Make your company many smaller companies, maybe even have some in competition with one another. That way each smaller organization operates as independently as possible. Try to break out cross-functional departments that serve all companies with their own incentives. This will preserve a startup mentality and culture.

OP here. I think i mixed the message too much by putting pivots in the same category as founder transitions and down-rounds.

Pivots are fine. But when you're basically just starting over on a completely new business with less money and a demoralized team, your likelihood of success is significantly impaired. Successful pivots need to carry ~something~ over of value

Can you elaborate on what problem you have that this rewrite would solve? (Serious question, not trying to be combative.) I can't remember ever having any problem displaying a PDF in macOS, though I don't do anything particularly outlandish with PDFs these days. Does Preview crash frequently for you? (Or does displaying PDFs from within your own apps crash?) I haven't heard of this issue, so just curious what the problem is.

Is that solving Rubik's cubes? I learned that during the downtime in 2020. Most of my speed gains from 10 minutes down to a minute or so came while mindlessly solving it over and over again while watching TV to build muscle memory. It didn't do a great job getting me away from screens.

I didn't go crazy learning a million algorithms to get my times down below 1 minutes though. I have no ambitions to compete.

> we all agree that the way in which they are ought to be humane

Do we? As far as I can tell, the currently accepted execution protocol (for lethal injection) is more about ensuring that the execution looks painless, and only secondarily about whether or not it is in fact painless.

We don't use drugs to paralyze muscles and stop the heart when we humanely euthanize someone, why do we do this for executions?
Would this apply to M1 Macs as well?
What the fuck? So one should actively go out and seek more of it? To me, BECAUSE things are uncertain, there's even more value in things that can be made certain. Then, we at least have the hope of being free to devote our limited, anxiety-riddled, conflict-avoidant, procrastinating brains on the parts that matter. I don't want to have to worry about things like health insurance or the wham-baam-thank-you-ma'am nature of US Capitalist idiocracy.

A slightly different point is that it's simply a liability for the company to provide that reason because there are reasons that are illegal. Unfortunately, it is true that not providing a reason removes that liability.

> To make this case, you would have to show that education completion rates, drug addition, and criminal behavior are as bad or worse in Finland compared to the US.

No, I wouldn't have to show that, because we're not comparing the percentage of homeless people in Finland against the percentage of homeless people in the U.S. The data point I argued was "homeless rates are going down, and this program has something to do with that". You are implying that homeless rates are going down because education completion rates are high. That's nonsensical. If one metric is constantly high, that doesn't explain why another metric is changing. A proper argument would be "homeless rates are going down because education rates are going up". That argument could make sense (if it were true, which it is not).

> Maybe they are doing better at treating the root cause, and because of that their symptomatic treatment can actually help.

No, they aren't doing that. As I already explained in my previous comment, Finland's strategy against homelessness is rooted in "Housing first", which is a "treat the symptoms" approach to homelessness, not a "treat the root cause" approach to homelessness.

And what if the same major thing breaks but you were asked to do it? Your necks on the line and you did something wrong that you were asked to do correctly. The problem is that part of current micromanagement environments isn't just about micromanagement but also passing down risk and responsibility to developers.

You can do the change work in a feature branch and propose the idea after the fact. If there's interest "I've already done it." Stakeholders get a bit of instant gratification like their request just materialized into thin air. If they're not interested, don't mention it and let the work go unused, rack it up as professional development time and work.

I do this fairly often. If a decision has a bunch of real risk associated with it I make sure to get sign off and create an appropriate evidence trail to pass risk back up when it's passed down. Much of work is just passing risk and liability around to PYA.
