Both countries are beneficiaries of EU munificence. I wonder whether that has anything to do with it?
Agreed. Yet it seems insanely hard to measure output...

If the bare minimum gets the job done the same as the overachiever grinding as if their life depended on it, fair judgement would rate the output the same, right?
Eventually the other bank will ask for settlement. Maybe it’s because you owe them a billion dollars and they have a liquidity crisis. Whatever the reason is, you can’t just go on forever “oweing” then money.

You don’t have to be in a bad position for this to become a stressful situation. A little empathy goes a long way. Im sure most of the engineers will be fine however even if you have money in the bank and are fine for years without a job the sudden shock of being thrown into a crap economic environment or being forced to move isn’t fun.

My dad was in the military and I didn’t have a choice but to move every few years when i was growing up. Even with a guaranteed job it’s an extremely stressful situation for a family to be put in.
This is something I wondered about too, and always do when looking at recommendations, particularly by single individuals.

What I like about this list in particular is that it clearly admits that reading these books by far does not guarantee anything. After all, they're recommendations.

However, having read almost all of these books before and during my own entrepreneurial journey, I positively noticed the absence of many fluffy "self-help" types that usually get recommended for new founders (the Napoleon Hill kinds of
monstrosities).

This suggests that filtering who's recommendations to follow was a good idea.

That suggests that no matter how much survivorship bias is in the books themselves, the act of recommending them indicates that the founder who read the book AND built a successful business found SOMETHING valuable in the work that they deem worth reading.
Silicon Valley’s Founder Worship Is Destructive
The thing to remember about voter ID discussions in the US is that it costs money & non-trivial amounts of time to get IDs, and most of the people calling for ID checks aren’t willing to fund improvements there because most of the affected people are not their voters. This makes these conversations hard to follow because they’re not really about voting but access to government ID. If we had universal ID cards, I doubt any serious number of people would oppose checks.
You mean like all the radioactive coal smog?

No, seriously, coal burning released more radiation into the environment than actual nuclear waste. Long-term storage is a problem but it's still a better problem to have to solve than fossil fuel pollution.

People greatly underestimate the environment and aesthetics. This is the place you'll spend majority of your time everyday for a very long time.

I wasn't sold on WeWork in theory until I started going with a friend (as a guest) and I was sold immediately.

I tend towards the introverted side so its not the socialising or "networking".. It's the environment:
- constantly kept clean
- good view, aesthetics & lighting
- productivity happening all around you.
- Kewl kitchen area with expensive tea & coffee

All Access is gamechanger too, the idea that I can go to Miami, spend some time at south beach and then be super productive at Lex Avenue WeWork with a super kewl view is AWESOME! (I live in London)..

The idea that u can use the same keycard to work in a familiar yet different environemnt in London & Miami is super kewl. Its like the democratisation of the kind of lifestyle you'd have as a billionaire.
My understanding of "optional support" is that you can use these languages, but might decide for other languages too. Can't see why the platform is not suited for real-time too - it would be pretty absurd to release a PLC that is not real time.

To me the most interesting differentiating feature seems to be OTA updates of the firmware really.

You're right. I worded my reply very badly.

I was thinking about the psychological effects. The article mentions it but doesn't go into it: "However, 63% do fear it will be problematic to know how much their co-workers make"

If you look at the list of problems I wrote you see they are psychological.
Indeed. You'd view recommendations from Sam Bankman-Fried differently today compared to 3 months ago.
> I am split on the remote work thing from a productivity / creativity perspective

Even if productivity was down at home vs at the office aren't we already way too productive anyways ?

Living in the office would also be more productive, and working 10 hours per day, banning weekends, &c.

At the end of the day you have to ask yourself if you're here to grind for 45 years to pay the lifestyle of eccentrics like Musk or to live life ? If it's ok to lose 10% of productivity while regaining hours of your life ?

> were acquired without incurring personal costs, while in terms of their use, inheritance and even trading there were practically no differences between the holders of tenancy rights to state/socially owned housing and private owners’ (Petrović 2004, 270).

I have no idea where the author got this... this was maybe(!) true for very high ranking party members, but for normal people, there was no inheritance and trading, and the use was the same as with any other rental apartment. Also maybe only in what was left of yugoslavia in 1991 and then turned into 'serbia and montenegro'. If you died, the apartment went back to the state. To trade it (move elsewhere) you needed a good reason (usually, more kids or more rarely a new job).

I was born in yugoslavia and lived here/there until the fail, and now still live in the same city, just in a new country. My parents got a social apartment, I got born and they got another apartment and moved (1->2 bedroom apartment). They couldn't get a bigger one before, because 2 people meant 1 bedroom apartment, 3 people, two bedroom one. They couldn't even choose the floor (noone wanted the ground level or top level ones). No trading, no inheritance, no ownership until 1991 and the jazbinsek law, where every renter could buy off the apartment from the government.

This is so true. Irrespective of whether the founder read the book before or after building the business, this still makes sense to see a recommendation from a successful founder.
I am in my 50s and have found most of my working life has been shaped by two things, learning and my connections with other people. I think you are deeply ensconced in the learning and probably don't need to add to that space. Keep hobbying but don't let it eat up all your time.

When I want to watch a new show I go to a blog or website that aligns with my taste and pick from there. When I need a new shampoo or a set of tires I try to find passionate, obscure, unmonetized content as a starter, then cross reference it with similar content.

I do 95% of my shopping online and I can't remember the last time I saw an add that showed something that piqued my interest and that I wasn't already aware of. I spend most of my time online and have never clicked an ad.

Advertisers need a certain audience profile. They need people who are easily influenced, who make emotional or rushed decision, who are not good at assessing the value of a product. Of course they can also sell to educated users, but that's not where almost all of the money is.

In the digital world where most of the profit comes from advertisement, it's irremediable that product design will align with those characteristics, unfortunately :/

I think it's UX rather than technical.

It used to be a drop-down box, now it's pill buttons that (confusingly) are usually used for filtering rather than sorting.

So I'm assuming it was something to do with the UX rewrite getting in the way.
Yes? My point was that people get carried away with maximizing optimizations because they start measuring the degree of optimization rather than the ultimate goal.

I’m not saying JIT always goes wrong, any more than neural net training always goes wrong. Just that when it does, it is often because an overzealousness that leads to a disconnect between the local and global goals.

They absolutely do protect people against being in situations with people who have repeatedly endangered others. What responsibility do the survivors have to make an "open, public accusation"? They're going to derail their personal and professional lives to be openly scrutinized and reminded of a traumatic event? Obviously these politicians are known creeps and haven't been dealt with yet, why would anybody think that would change for them?

That's what powvans is referring to with "brilliant way to drive conversion". Measure "engagement" by "how many songs the user starts playing" and combine that with "clicking on a song the first time actually plays a different song" and you'll get more clicks to start songs as the user tries to correct their problems. This isn't a good thing, the metric has been over-optimized, but if you're paid by metrics this is what happens.

Likely there is a programmer or two well aware of the issue and the presumably 1-10 line fix, but has either tried it and been told to revert it, or simply knows they can't push it, because they know what it would do to the metrics.

Probably a good number of the complaints people are leveling here against Amazon services source from that. For instance, mixing paid options into the list as quickly as possible when you explicitly asked for free stuff can't hardly help but "convert better" than letting the user truly browse through the free stuff; if so much as one person ever gives in and buys something that way, or even browses, leaves, comes back to the same screen later and forgot they were supposedly looking at free stuff and buys something, boom, better conversion rate than pure free. Doesn't take much to move the needle off of "zero". But it's still not what we asked for. (& yes, I know that it's non-free stuff in the recommendations when viewing a free option, not unfree stuff mixed right into free carousel, but I think it's fair to say customers are definitely interested in a "free only right now please" view and a good percentage of them probably think that's what they're getting when they're in the "free" tabs.)
Sure everything has a risk. I have a remote contract currently that they could decide they want a centralized office and will let me go if I don’t move. That risk should be seen as fairly low when the C suit has committed to it and if it does change it sucks. I would still feel bad for those people.

Im not sure if you are trying to say that because risk is involved we shouldn’t empathize?
Sorry I exaggerated. Video games are only 1000x better than driving an 80s car, not a millions.
Yeah, in this light, it would be interesting to see the books that were recommended by the successful founders, but not recommended by unsuccessful ones.

Many times I want to undo to a previous state, but then apply again a few of the changes I just reverted, basically cherry-picking from the future (from the redo stack).

It would be interesting to be able to see all edits as individual patches/diffs that you can commit/discard individually. Like a mini automatic git inside the editor, automatic in the sense that every "edit" creates a commit, undo/redo move HEAD.

This would be entirely optional, you can continue using Undo/Redo as usual, but if you need to do a more complex history operation you can open this "git" view and operate on the edit tree directly.

Photoshop has this nice undo panel where you can see individual edits and click your way to the desired point in history:

I don't know if there is an easy part in search. Almost every aspect of it has unique challenges.

Large scale crawling is primarily a challenge in balancing the logistics in a way that is kind to both the crawler and the data consumers.

Distributed crawling, if you go that way, is also non-trivial as you're effectively juggling a shared rapidly mutating state in the dozens gigabytes.

"You just have to train them"

I have never worked anywhere where engineers got basic training. They were just expected to perform, and so they would perform poorly, because they lacked so much basic knowledge. There's such inconsistency and such little understanding that they often confuse each other and waste each other's time trying to figure out simple things.

That's the bulk of the entire industry now.
I truly hope that in a few years small offices will come back. It appears that right now companies just decrease their rents and space (because a part of their employees are working at home) but are still gung-ho on open office. However, I think in a few years maybe all this new, free space can be used for people like you and me who want small offices. Maybe it will happen, who knows.

The big problem with WeWork as a business model is that they don't really benefit from economies of scale.

The biggest ongoing cost for WeWork is leasing the office space. This cost doesn't go down just because WeWork has some brand recognition. Even worse, there's nothing stopping a property owner from operating their property as a co-working space themselves, cutting WeWork out of the equation.

It's not that WeWork couldn't be profitable. But it was never going to pull in the profits of a successful tech company.
The main issue with the UK is it's class system has three levels of mobility- non working class, the working class and the middle class. The upper class has always had the power and control but felt a need to make the middle class, who generate most the wealth, feel that they had some input post WW2. Even Thatcherism was on the side of the middle classes to some degree.

Since 2008 this has changed massively. Now it's a small group of the upper classes who have realised they don't need to care about the middle classes at all who have taken the UK back to a quasi-feudal system where they decide who gets in power in all political parties and what gets on our screens.

The most recent example of this was during the Conservative leadership election where Conservative Home polled it's members and Kemi Badenoch was by far the preferred leader of it's members (Liz and Rishi were bottom). The party which has no obligation to do what it's paying members preferred chose to appoint the lowest two scoring leaders in quick succession. You now have Conservative voters who are going to vote them out because they felt ignored.

If Keir Starmer said "I'll consider another EU referendum" then I'd fully believe that the Labour Party hadn't been got to, but as they haven't, I think they have been nobbled too.

You can expect fewer Brits abroad because we will be poorer, but drinking more heavily just to unwind from what it's like living in the UK. I hope they behave themselves, but I don't have much confidence.
