> You're right. But I also do attempt to summarize the idea in the following paragraph. I hope you can judge from the sketch that it's a compelling argument.

Compelling doesn't mean correct. The impression I got of it was it's one that takes a small(ish) number of philosophical propositions and situational variables, comes up with some solution that's maximally consistent with those propositions, then insists that be applied rigorously to a real word (that's rather more complicated). I'm generally skeptical of that kind of stuff. That maximal consistency is extremely seductive, but the simplifications taken to get there are often oversimplifications, and seductiveness makes it tempting to avert your eyes from the problems and be satisfied.
ludicrous
This definitely seems like the sort of situation where this is going to start having massive knock-on consequences. Complications from untreated illnesses, job losses due to chronic illnness, deaths whilst on waiting lists, further thinning out of staff due to unreasonable demands placed upon them due to unsatisfiable demand. At some point the whole structure beocmes unviable, the thing to remember is that this is the innevitable result of starving the NHS of resources in the first place. It was fine when it was competently goverened. You'd need to be kind of thick to stay in the UK as a doctor today, which is a massive challenge for the NHS, and you'd need to be an idiot to move to the UK (see: recent comments on immigration from the home office).

In that case why wouldn't they try to influence the election? It depends on what kind of people sit there, but most academics favor democrats. So I don't see how that statement gives us a good reason to believe that they aren't taking one side here.

There's no sign that he is lacking in incentive/incompetent/lack of experience, in fact, he mentions that he is actively making it known to his teammates that he has spare time and is not loaded during meetings.

He hasn't mentioned any struggles to deliver or challenges with his past tasks; it just comes across that he is much less busy than his peers and he is wondering why. Maybe he is not liked and that's why I mention freezing him out, I guess one can classify that as a "communication issue" or the other possibility is that it just takes time to be integrated in a big company like other commentators have said.

By freezing-out, I don't mean that his teammates are actively hostile against him but just that maybe they don't trust him yet to give more tasks, just like how any newcomer is treated with some unfamiliarity at the start. I guess that counts as a "communication issue".

You seem to like to point the blame at the employee only while others have mentioned that it just takes time to build trust and to be given tasks and others have mentioned that he might have already lost the trust of his teammates which I guess does point to a failing in his part if so.

In a big company, there is also usually more room to coast and that is another possibility in that the manager is just not pushing that much and that is normal for a new-hire. I think there are just more possibilities than the fact that the employee is incompetent which seems to be your immediate conclusion without sufficient evidence.
Totally genuine question as someone coming from a background in mechanical engineering, who now does a lot of software-y things: what do you consider to be "first principles" in computing? Are you talking about first principles in terms of project development processes (i.e how information systems evolve) or code (i.e. bits and bytes, where microservices might not be the answer because the network connections are guaranteed to have a fundamental latency that, along with the amount of data required, means you can't meet requirements because [..])?

With the right gear and lossless raw workflow I think it's possible to achieve just about any analog look in digital (or at least close enough to pass an objective A/B/X test). That doesn't mean it's cheap or easy but it does provide maximum creative latitude in post (which is why I do it).

To be clear, we've only reached the point of parity in photography and film in the last few years and only then with expensive, state of the art equipment. It's not yet possible to achieve the dynamic range of good analog with today's mobile phones or mid-range DSLRs. Just for starters you need to capture more than 14 stops of dynamic range which is still only found at the extreme high-end of digital. Even when you've digitally sampled the photons with sufficient fidelity, it requires quite a bit of skill to process it appropriately.
I think in most cases, NFTs are clearly collectible art. It's hard to say when these projects branch out and become about more, but I'd still err on the side of not securities.

> This just reinforces the idea that raising VC is more about your background than it is about your ideas or ability to execute.

At the seed or pre-seed stage that Matt was at, what else would it based on? If you have no product or barely an MVP, you're almost certainly not near product-market fit and you probably have close to zero traction. As an investor, you have practically no signal to go off of at that point.

Ideas aren't worth much at that stage, so ability to execute is key. And given that there's been so little done, the best signal for someone's ability to execute should be their background.

For sure — setting up a kick-ass home-theater system just means you're an AV geek. (Source: Am an AV geek.) Being a geek is not necessarily a contraindication of virility (see Henry Cavill), but there's definitely no correlation.

It was hard for me to tell if this was a joke. I think there is some subset of the "lifestyle" founder/vc crowd (by that I mean people who's focus is the appearance of being a vc or founder) that this must appeal to. Personally i think it feels over the top even for some kind of crypto-bro environment. But I admit I'm out of touch. I would not want to select an investor based on what they said on twitter, and would for the most part be actively put off by someone acting like a stereotype of a VC on social media. Is that who you'd want to go into business with?

Having worked at startups all my life, there's infinite work for us. At the very least, lots of tech debt and insufficient test coverage. On FE, there's also supporting a wider range of devices.

And then things that could be done better (reactive programming, declarative UI, etc).

Then finding weaknesses in the code, documenting them, educating the team. For example, we're not handling enough error codes properly like no bandwidth and when certain endpoints are down, users tend to panic. Or sometimes, certain endpoints should be combined for performance.

It could be putting down more logs, benchmarking performance, integrating analytics into the sales funnel, monitoring user frustration.

No offense, but I think asking around for things to do is a fairly junior attitude. The more experienced ones usually don't look at tickets, but instead start proposing things that can be done.

I was referring to the reverse perspective of perceiving intellect, rather than signaling intellect.

It definitely happens both ways, but I think it's much more damaging to those who are perceived as being dumb, or whose ideas are not considered, because they're direct/plain.

I see this fairly often in meetings. Someone says something very direct and plain, with the root of the problem laid out, but it fails some "complexity" threshold that makes the contrived, incorrect, but fancifully worded explanation get more traction, eventually looping back around to the simple explanation, with no real acknowledgment.

>Playing sports causes sports injuries, but we still do it because it feels good

There are many major differences here. playing sports is natural. Many mammals play some sort of physical game[0]. There is an intrinsic evolutionary drive at play here. Doing drugs is not an intrinsic evolutionary drive. Sports have an upside of increasing social and physical health. Hard drugs have no upside. Playing sports is not adictive. Playing sports does not preclude you from being a functioning memeber of society. Playing sports is much safer than doing drugs.

>we encourage them

I don't, but I get your point. The encouragement is itself an evolutionary force at play.

>Hell one of the most popular activities is to just lay out in the sun and increase your risk of skin cancer

Another intrinsic evolutionary activity. Be sure to wear sunscreen.

We banned trans fats and for a good reason. Although some research shows that omega 6 polyunsaturated fats may be worse. We may have been too quick on trans fats but the general idea was good. In any case, consumption of food is the most basic activity of the animal kingdom. Heroin is a chemical that flips evolution on it's head. People adicted to heroin lose their humanity - just ask former addicts what their life was like. We can ban heroin and cocaine because they have no upside while having drastic downsides. (Hopefuly opioids next). The alternative is to allow it but reomve the users from the saftey net (a big no-no).

Yes; you will buy them with the last one dollar in your pocket, instead of the last two dollars. The price can vary fluidly even if the quantity consumed does not.

A century ago, a loaf of bread cost only a nickel and that's not because people ate less or because food supply was more plentiful or demand more elastic.

But even setting that aside, interest rates operate on aggregate demand which is averaged across all goods, just like inflation is.

What you call a framework I call a function. I don't consider functions or the DRY principle to indicate a framework. A framework dictates how to proceed. A function is merely an available approach. To me this really sounds like imposing the word framework where the word abstraction is more appropriate.

If this were even true, it would only mean that aggregate demand has to decrease proportionately in order to maintain price stability.
I think he's saying that startups now have one word noun names, like "lever" or something (that's also a soap mind) and so some sentences might ambiguously use a company's name. The hint I'd look for is the absence of the word "the" preceding the word.
School and college creates a platform that you can put other knowledge on. The stuff you put on that platform afterwards might look like a mountain, but your platform wouldn't support a large mountain if you didn't make it wide and stable to begin with.

Intellectual curiosity could be said to want to expand that platform instead of just putting more things on top of it, putting things on top is the default, expanding the platform is done by very few which is why forcing them to spend years in education is so important.

I wouldn't say it's unappetizing for us. Even contemplating the possibility offers us insight about what companies the size and complexity of Stripe need to go through in order to migrate Billing systems. e.g. back of house processes for revenue reconciliation and recognition need to work across both systems, we need to support bulk migrations of data, both systems need to recognize the "canonical biller" for a customer so that you avoid double-billing issues, you need to backfill invoices and ensure no gaps in numbering, product teams need to update their integration and provisioning code and so on. My observation is that large companies can spend 10s-100s of engineers on the order of several quarters or years to do this kind of migration safely.

We've made several internal and a few external changes over the years to help our users with these kinds of issues and in my estimation we've been getting closer to making the commitment, but as of right now we haven't done a stop-the-world effort to change systems internally.

The economy is shrinking because boomers are retiring at a rate faster than we can fill jobs. The Boomer economists at the Fed have responded by raising interest rates so that Xers, Millennials, and Zoomers don't get uppity and ask for more money.
It also works for people who have enough weight to throw around so that they don't have to care about the consequences of their actions. You would think that the social repercussions of doing such would be enough to alert someone that they were self-sabotaging, but the mindset has a built in mechanism that prevents this insight from occurring, namely that it allows the user to reframe such feedback as other's attempts at looting them from their rewards. It's a bit of a strange mental attractor in that respect, once a stable orbit of the assemblage of ideas takes place, it is very difficult to perturb one out of it.

This is likely to be the recession that halts the rapid inflation in tech wages.

Rising risk free rate has hit growth companies the hardest, and there are likely to be a large swath of layoffs right as we have tons of people bootcamping and switching into the industry.

There's a good reason not to do this: your new fancy word is less likely to be understood by those with lower English literacy.
I would agree that accuracy is important, and sometimes technical words can help with this. But all too often people use big words just to sound intelligent and only end up obscuring their message.
Keep it, but don't do anything important on it. Don't read your email. Don't read your social media, if you care about your account being taken over. Don't access your bank on it. Use it for phone calls and texting only, and that if you don't care about somebody else reading your texts.

And for me, that's good enough. I don't actually care about someone reading my texts. I simply don't access the internet on my phone. (Cataracts made it hard to focus close enough to read a screen that small. Yes, you can enlarge the text, but then I'd be scrolling my fingers off.) My personal life isn't tabloid material. I don't have any stalkers. (So far as I know - if I do, hi!) So someone could read my contacts, read my texts, and see pictures of my granddaughter and my cat. Under these conditions, I see no reason why I should care very much about the security of my phone.

Am I missing something in my threat model?

> There are some debates, however, that the first clause of the second amendment actually is meaningful and not just meaningless flavor text.

Nobody says it's meaningless, it just doesn't mean what gun control proponents want it to mean, due to (a) a purpose, even a stated one, not being a limit on Constitutional rights; and (b) what the word "militia" means in the text.

(a) "The prefatory clause does not suggest that preserving the militia was the only reason Americans valued the ancient right; most undoubtedly thought it even more important for self-defense and hunting." District of Columbia v. Heller. There are numerous rights in the Constitution that are not limited solely to their original or documented purpose. The equal protection clause protects against gender, sex, and sexuality discrimination just as much as it protects against discrimination based on race or condition of former servitude. The First Amendment protects artistic expression and personal speech just as much as it protects political speech. A documented purpose does not limit the applicability of a Constitutional right.

(b) It is nearly a century-old precedent that the militia refers to every able-bodied man, not just those in, e.g., the National Guard. United States v. Miller, 307 U. S. 174, 179 (1939). That is why "the militia is assumed by Article I already to be in existence," District of Columbia v. Heller, rather than being created by Congress or a state.
