The biggest factor for me is really simple the benefit of investing in my office.

I can now spend my money on my home office and build it as i like it for me and as long as i can work remote, im getting those benefits directly and i'm no longer bound by a company because of those benefits.

I got myself a standing desk at home with a nice real wood top, which is awesome.

I haave to have a work space at home anyway for taxes, learning/writing, playing games, doing something with pictures etc. Now i have a great home office and a great private 'home office'?

And yes holy shit finally a clean nice bathroom i like going to.

Funny enough, while i have worked in a company like HubSpot and we did those excersizes and stuff, we were just a normal company.

In my current company, all those culture things are also communicated, they are just not a blog post on the internet and they do not feel like a cult :)

Have worked in a company with open books:

Its actually nothing i want anymore; There are many reasons why people earn a certain amount of money but being involved in that process in a company wide group setting was horrible annoying and didn't make me feel any better.

And on my salary discussion, it was mentioned what extra perks i got from the company and that amounted to a certain amount which suddenly meant "Look we give you less money because we think it increases the social factor if we force you to be in our company on a day with everyone else to eat together etc. in a forced social setting, which was nice don't get me wrong, by you paying indirectly.

And thats the issue, either the company is paying for it, or you don't do it.

At the end of the day, you can easily find nice people you wana hang around with while you work in plenty of normal companies. Just make sure you find a good Team.

And yes all those things they do it for 2 reasons: 1. keeping employees 2. getting new employees. Being a little bit of edgy might just be cheaper than paying head hunters and if you can take unlimited good people but you just don't get them, every person going through your door because of all this hipness, is one person more earning money for you.

If 'those' you mean sperm, eggs, embryos or fetuses younger then 3 month, yes.

After that, of course not.

And thats just two things we know about.

The core feature/idea/thought on this product is still a voice message.

Otherwise you can just use whatever you have used already anyway.

Having something like this as main feature, means thats the default. In my opinion therefore not a good tool.

When you refer to Gattaca: it doesn't reflect our society very well.

While i like that movie very much, he still got on a spaceship having much worse physical abilities than all the others of his crew.

Also in this specific topic, i'm not talking about a human who is able to overcome most/all of his obstacles given at birth. I'm talking about me and all other humans who are not able to do so.

I would also argue that on an ethical level, you would require to make sure that every new human being has the best chance our society can provide for him/her. Like if technology is so far advanced, that you can just scan an embryo, you see why it would become much smaller or way too tall which would lead to medical issues and you could fix it with a press of a button, you would need to do it.

I would argue that not doing this, is the same thing as denying a preterm baby an incubator.

"Foeticide (or feticide) is the act of killing a fetus, or causing an abortion."

Abortion stops a pregnancy and a pregnancy is the production of a human life.

You are also not killing sperm by using a tissue, neither do you kill an egg.

You also don't kill an embryo as those things are not alive.

Just because a biological mechanism started doing what it is programmed to do, doesn't make it alive.

Would you argue that a virus is alive?

When do you draw your line of a biological machine becoming alive?

You still can try to clarify what you are trying to say instead of being dismissive.

Let me try to reword it:

Yes it is a human fetus; Its not a human being.

It wouldn't matter to me as i would not exist. So what?

Nope; I don't need to discuss the 'personhood'.

I'm clearly fine with abortion before the 3th month.

And no if you wanna have it clarified: I think a human being is more than just a small or big blob of cells

My opinion did not change after we lost our 'fetus' in the 3th month. And no seeing a small body lying there was not a nice experience.

You also need to be on MultiCloud if you do not operate stuff on yourself so you are in a better negotiation position.

Or so that you are not dependend on only one.

its not. You can think you define it like this, but our society is not killing humans when we abort.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homicide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetus

" The other question related to the beginning of human life is even more difficult to answer. It is the fertilization of the egg cells; but a conglomeration of cells in the early phase of pregnancy can hardly be characterized as a human person. The human identity, personality, and worth is associated with the functioning of the brain, so only when the brain is fully developed can there be any talk about an unborn human being." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7476658/

Just because you say 'It is absolutly killing a human' your statement is wrong.

Bigger you are bigger the differences between teams and products and projects.

You can leverage the high quality network infrastructure from Google while using your own DC for Compute Heavy Load.

Use Azure for your Windows specific workloads.

Go with AliCloud in China.

You need to be big enough so that running it yourself is doable with a certain amount of quality. Which does imply many teams and workloads.

There are not a lot of those companies which are that big.

You also might not want to manage that many it experts for your infrastructure or you are not able to get them.

Also if your companies product is very technical, i would argue that those companies are much better equiped doing it by themselfs then others.

Nonetheless, it also doesn't need to be all or nothing. You can easily combine a MultiCloud approach.

Build only the stuff which is easy to build and costs a lot on cloud yourself. I would say Buildsystems or compute instances are good candidates.

Like i could imagine putting netflix authentication system on a cloud provider while doing the compute stuff in my own data center and building the CDN myself.

'killed'. Abortion is not killing.

Our society defines it as okay. You apparently don't agree with this but you are not the majority here.

No human aborts a fetus for fun.

My wife and i lost our 'fetus' on the 3 month mark. There have been a lot of thoughts about this experience and lots of emotions. And i would probably abort a fetus with Down Syndrom.

No one is doing an abortion easy. It is never easy for whatever reason and its not your place to criticize it when its not your responsibility.

You have to understand one thing: People are able to seperate the wish of not having a kid with down syndrom from other human beings who have down syndrom.

And still the church contains pedophiles and homophobes.

We have to see it as a whole thing and as a whole is negative.

Only if you assume its relevant.

Its not relevant when your society defines abortion before 3 month okay, which plenty do and i agree with.

If we would see it different, than it would be murder.

At least not in germany.

Are extreme religous people okay with any abortion? Then there is no tension for them either and as far as i know, those are the more/real prominent examples of groups who saying something about this topic at all

I would be glad.

It doesn't make me special or a more valuable individual that i have sleeping issues and nerve issues.

And we are not doing this with a lot of other factors?

Why would this be different than planed parenthood?

I'm also not following that we should draw the line here just because it can be missused when you draw the line further away.

I would even argue, that it is our duty to do tests as we have the means and therefore the responsibility to do so. We do know that nature is not perfect. We can't control everything before like the pill and everything while it grows (supplements, no work etc.) and after birth by helping babies which came out to early or operations etc.

Why would we control everything but not this specific aspect?

The general notion quite globally is, that an abortion before 3month is ethical okay for us as a society and this timeframe was not choosen through some random events. It probably evolved.

I do think its possible to become passinate about things over time.

If you ask me if i want to work on x or y, i will tell you quite easy what i would prefer which i would relate to passion?

Wikipedia would agree on both ways of seeing passion: "Passion (Greek πάσχω "to suffer, to be acted on"[1] and Late Latin (chiefly Christian[2]) passio "passion; suffering" (from Latin pati "to suffer"; participle: passus)) is a feeling of intense enthusiasm towards or compelling desire for someone or something. "

But i think what makes it more interesting or more motivationg for me is that one thing might have something special in comparison to other things i wanna do.

Like if i work on a product which helps the world vs. a product which is 'just a normal product' i might see more reason to work on the first product.

I probably need to ask you what makes you invest in a project.

I hate it when i get a voice message from my family through whatsapp.

Reading stuff is so much quicker.

One college asks me if i have time to do a short video chat for the update i need; The coordination take sprobably a higher effort then just writing it down.

Its the responsibility of you to communicate your state so people can act on it. you might not be very good in transporting to people who need to know, what you are doing and how it is going?

And don't get me wrong but when your solution is to disable/block communication ways instead of communication with others on how you want/need to communicate, then the issue is on both sides.

I would be just to afraid for certain ideas like the shop thing.

One credit card fraud going through my system and i might in a big dept if i did this under a company format which doesn't protect me from personal liability.

While i like the idea very much of getting exercise in this way, i'm wondering what the main motivation is?

I would like to earn money through my own company but only with my product i like and find 'worthy'. Trying out small concepts over and over again, might not bring any fruit in finding the thing you are passionate about and then the question arrives if it wouldn't be much more beneficial to optimize your own career instead.

Someone on github had to care for this project; Then someone with the proper level had to care for this and understand the situation.

Then you need meetings.

You need to 'coordinate' your message or whatever.

You need to talk to the legal department and stuff.

What is not 'adding up'?

And why is it an issue that it took a little bit?

yeah my fault; I interpreted the question as 'hey sounds difficult to do that, can't we make it easier?' in sense of the person asking without knowing the JWST exists.

We are already doing this with James Webb Space Telescope. That one will be further away from sun than earth and moon.

And when you think about ending your life, new questions arrive:

Will someone external force me to life my life again? Should it make more sense to optimize my current life and try to stay alive as long as possible?

If i'm reincarnated, should i start to make the current world a better place to life for the risk of me being reincarnated somewhere else?

Should i spend my time and effort of trying to find a mechanism to keep my knowledge and try to reconnect with my previous me?

Of course all funny interesting thoughts, at the end of the day, i saw enough people around me living a normal life, dying and thats it.

But i'm curious when we create an AI what logic it will come up to kill or not kill itself.

So my statement, you are commenting on, is wrong?

"Make sure you check how much calories you take in regardless of the food."
