Traditionally? Humanities. Those fields have the advantage of starting with common experience and a natural-language corpus, so there isn't as high a barrier to entry as STEM disciplines. But, you know... we don't do that anymore. (And yes, I know, some of the reasons are intrinsic to choices made by people within the Humanities.) We've abandoned that, but not found a better way.

Over half a century old but as relevant as ever, The Tyranny of Structurelessness https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm

This means that to strive for a structureless group is as useful, and as deceptive, as to aim at an "objective" news story, "value-free" social science, or a "free" economy. A "laissez faire" group is about as realistic as a "laissez faire" society; the idea becomes a smokescreen for the strong or the lucky to establish unquestioned hegemony over others. This hegemony can be so easily established because the idea of "structurelessness" does not prevent the formation of informal structures, only formal ones.
Build a coalition of people who work in various departments, legal, marketing, research, etc. with enough momentum that could be enough to earn the credibility required.

Another possibility is straight up democratic voting. These large investments place the company in financial peril, so maybe everyone should have a day.

There are many ways to organize, hierarchical top-down control is useful but overused.
The CEO is human, so psychology applies to them. I don't think one can necessarily separate cost management and planning from the mind of the CEO. If the CEO decides to cut costs, then that CEO has a mindset that supports cutting costs. And such a mindset is not a growth mindset, as otherwise the CEO would instead be considering how to reallocate those dollars to expand the organization. And per your link, a fixed mindset is the opposite of a growth mindset. It is true that it mixes concepts from different fields, but to me each step seems clear - I think you would need more evidence to show that this chain of reasoning does not apply.
NIMBY is my guess and they need a car park or some transportation infrastructure at each stop for the passengers arriving.

2hrs 10min +50-75 minutes to east of LA is a distance but 4-5+ hours highly variable by driving is an interesting choice since you have a car at your destination. There is also going to be two intermediate stops in California at “Hesperia and one in Apple Valley.”

So, 3.5 hours or so for guessing $100 one way versus 4-5+ hours at $40 gas 30mpg 220miles by car vs 1hr 8 minutes gate to gate $21-$60 to by air without including security.

They mentioned a metro link stop for LA but nothing about a plan for quite a ways off the strip in Las Vegas. Maybe a shuttle stop on the airport - car rental return loop.
Except the plane is going to survive. Only the passengers aren’t going to. On the other hand, there are going to be new passengers. Assuming we don’t blow up the plane with nukes.
I'm very pessimistic. Short of totalitarian control over people and their minds, or maybe a techno-utopia with infinite resources for all, we'll never have a perfect world without conflict.

> What I remember hearing from YC is of cases where a partner tells you to pivot, not where they let the founders decide to pivot themselves.

Post-batch you can talk to your partners as often as you want or never again - they stay out of your way unless you explicitly reach out. They make this quite clear during the batch as well.

During the batch you do talk to your partners as part of the structure. They do give (really good!) advice, but you're always told it's your company. I can see them giving advice based on their experience on where you might want to dig instead, but I've never heard a founder being forced down a direction they didn't want to go. After all, why would that be the optimal path?
I worked on a similar application and eventually we shelved it. We just could not be confident enough that the numbers in the report produced are correct. There were enough instances of inaccuracies to not use it for important decision making. Which actually meant a lot of double work.

I’m pretty sure it’s the same debate. If you distinguish between the two then it becomes a different debate. But the whole point of basic income is that everyone gets a baseline check every month, regardless of whether or how they spend it.

Even with basic income you’d still have homeless people who spent the money on things other than homes.

Ah, I see. And actually, I do know a little about startups (even though I said I'm no expert), and thought that most founders who sell their businesses for something like 10 million can make a comfortable amount of cash. But didn't realize that if they use VC's, the VC's can take so much!

So, was wondering, would you happen to know if there is a standard amount in a sale of a startup funded by a VC that makes the founders a good amount of money?
(Talking about the minimum needed to make a million for a couple of founders).

They actually learned it from tech. The whole Agile, self-organizing teams and flat structure was sold by HR consultants to tech, and years later (because pharma doesn't move very fast and because "innovative" tech did it) they adopted it. Bayer is actually one of the last ones.

It's just the flavor of the month. Matrix organizations were a decade ago. Something new will come along later.

The structure makes some problems better (less bureaucracy because fewer decision makers - no need to get 6 levels of middle management to approve) but creates new problems (lack of visibility across organizations so dumb decisions get made because of a lack of information). The workers basically have to keep doing the same job with fewer resources.

I can't wait until we come full circle and go back to a pyramid org chart structure a la 1950's. It'll be fun to see how the HR consultants sell it.

These days, only about 700 American students are studying at Chinese universities, down from a peak of close to 25,000 a decade ago, while there are nearly 300,000 Chinese students at U.S. schools.

To add just a bit of context.

I’m sure that foreign students have no restrictions placed on entry to the country, places visited nor are there any restrictions on topics studied or on publication or research.

https://www.voanews.com/amp/british-documentary-alleges-chin...
agreed:)
But on the flip side, as long as the startup is sold in the end and you as the founder make a good amount of money (meaning over a few hundred of thousands), think it's probably worth it

Assassin’s Creed.

Go play the latest ones and tell me that Ubisoft doesn’t have a team devoted to “retention”.

It’s game on top of game on top of game.

The main missions are spaced out in a way that they are not too close or too far apart. The “collectables” (an insult to the word) are spaced between “oh look at that” and “wtf, this region isn’t 100% yet, where the hell is that thing!?”, achievements are an absolute abuse of psychology to keep you playing long after the game stopped being fun, the loading screens, the “quick” travel, the “crafting” and component systems that have you doing the least fun repetitive tasks usually involving the decimation of wild animals.

The grind is out of control.

Seriously, go play Outer Wilds, then play an AC or other grindfest.

The only non-abusive games that are left are indies.

It isn’t Alex Jonesy to rip apart modern video games for their exploitive tactics.

I don't necessarily agree with what they said. But I do have the thought that for some constantly being in survival mode leaves your brain no time for depression. And it only sets in when you have time to think about stuff. (Disclaimer I am diagnosed with MPD).

When your only focus is on keeping yourself and children and community fed and clothed, you essentially don't have much time to dwell on things, you don't have the time to be depressed because you need to survive. (That's just my thought, and I don't think it's completely accurate either).

I was sent this app that essentially lets you get ChatGPT-4.5 to discreetly feed you answers in real-time during meetings, interviews, or dates. It works so seamlessly that no one can tell because you don’t directly ask questions; it just listens in and chimes in when you press 'suggest' or use casual voice prompts like "let me think about that." Either it shows answers on the screen or speaks through headphones. I used it for work, but my buddy tried it out on some girls in Times Square and managed to impress them by appearing to know everything they asked. Sounds stupid but it was pretty cool. It has great potential for fun TikToks, too. Plus, it’s free and doesn’t require any sign-up, so deffs check it out.
It's not going to impact the people doing the day to day work much, if at all.

It's going to hit the layers of management those people report to.

I use racket and sbcl both. I prefer sbcl. We write a lot of software in cl; it is excellent. Cannot say anything else beats the debugging experience unless really low level, but for embedded we use c code gen from cl anyway.
Most of the books and tutorials about Racket are by academics. So people who start with those will get that impression.

But if you dig in to hacking with Racket (or another Scheme!) as a powerful general-purpose language, and to some extent ignore the "pedagogy" stuff, there's a lot of serious programmer stuff.

The CL books I've seen, OTOH, tend to be pretty practical, but also more technical than your average Python/JS just-get-me-a-job books.

A big thing to know about Lisps is that they're nigh-unemployable (other than Clojure, if you want to work in an enterprise Java shop)... so Lisps disproportionately attract the kind of people who would be programming computers even if it weren't a well-paying job.
When I studied at the University of British Columbia, racket was taught in the intro to CS course. I thought it was a great language, and put everyone on an even playing field (eg: students with prior programming experience hadn’t worked with lisp). Also was impressed by the libraries which made it easy to produce simple games or visuals.

I don’t think that’s the case actually. Your upbringing and society matters a lot. There are many countries with very low homeless rate and if you go to Europe, they have homeless but they are not even close to the homeless we have in the US. I am in Los Angeles and I have never seen anything like the situation here and I don’t think there is any if you go around the world. Maybe in the worst neighborhoods in third world countries. Even in Iran the homeless were not like they are here and I was raised there. Something is fundamentally wrong here

"Most companies simply are not very good vehicles for bringing about social change."

That's just not true. Corporations have been maybe the single biggest driver of social change in the last couple of centuries, short of military overthrows of governments (although, even then such overthrows are often done to benefit corporations). For good and ill, corporations have transformed the world, and they set and maintain the status quo, especially in the Unites States.

Just the idea that immense piles of wealth and resources can "belong" solely to one person or a very small group of individuals is a status quo set by capitalists to maintain their own interests. Why are they not allowed to be challenged? Their actions affect the lives of others, and it is right and good to challenge their decisions that cause harm.

Let me propose to you an idea that bridges a Lisp and a weekend web app for you: write the infamous TODO app using the React framework using a Lisp. Transpile that Lisp into JavaScript to get it to run in a browser. Depending on your level of perseverance either write that transpiler yourself, or pick one that already exists (like ClojureScript), or even just write your function that outputs JS.

I have done that a decade ago before React was even popular. Even if only the syntax is different, it was and is much nicer than writing JSX.
> Stewart Butterfield, former CEO of Slack, recently described a dynamic within tech companies behind much of the over-hiring. He noted on Bloomberg’s Odd Lots podcast in late May that when there’s no real constraint on hiring, “you hire someone, and the first thing that person wants to do is hire other people.” The reason is that “the more people who report to you, the higher your prestige, the more your power in the organization…So every budgeting process is, ‘I really want to hire,’ and that to me is the root of all the excess.”

I’ve seen this first hand. One place where I worked HR even had a table of team size vs manager compensation. When I pointed out that it may not be the best idea to directly incentivize managers to hire more people they were less than understanding. Of course it went totally out of control.

But sadly there just is no counteracting force (except perhaps mr Musk). When you apply for your next job as a manager they will ask you “How big was your team?”, and they won’t be impressed when you say “I managed to keep it down to four people”. It’s just something that resonates very strongly with the primitive side of our brains (“You say you were the chief, how big was your tribe?”).

Go out into the world; become a pirate, a king in Borneo, a labourer in Soviet Russia; give yourself an existence in which the satisfaction of elementary physical needs will occupy all your energies.' I do not recommend this course of action to everyone, but only to those who suffer from the disease which Mr. Krutch diagnoses. I believe that, after some years of such an existence, the ex-intellectual will find that in spite of his efforts he can no longer refrain from writing, and when this time comes his writing will not seem to him futile.

The REPL in DrRacket is like that because it was made by professors, specifically targeting intro students who had never programmed before. They thought a big Run button with a clean slate each time would be less confusing.

You don't have to use DrRacket to use Racket.

People doing real work with Racket tend to have "workflow" setups that are closer to SLIME.

I personally used a simpler Emacs setup ("https://www.neilvandyke.org/quack/"), and ended up leaning more on modules and embedded unit tests ("https://www.neilvandyke.org/racket/overeasy/"), and less on very dynamic interactive evaluation like I'd done before.
