The Best Essay 2 years ago

Good essay! Shame he doesn’t talk about taboo. Taboo subjects could make for great essays but it takes a lot of guts to write about them. Anything from collapse of your life, work, prison or death threats may ensue. Breaking taboos move society forward though. Keep an eye on “exceptions to free speech”.

A blameless culture needs to take into account bad actors. You might add more processes for part sovereignty for example. This is what you rely on for safety.

In addition yeah also prosecute criminals. But that doesn’t stop crime. See “war on drugs” for example.

Effective defence would allow the guilty to go free. (although “guilty” is a jury verdict so that is impossible but I presume you mean would be found guilty had more evidence prevailed). You can’t have an advocate that draws arbitrary lines at which they are not on your side advocating for you, what would those be?

Say someone says to their lawyer they shot the person but really they are covering for their wife even to mthe lawyer. The lawyer then hears them say in court they didn’t shoot (the truth) but the lawyer just knows they are saying something different now to what they said before. It could be that.

Not indignity but inconvenience. It would be like a boss lying to a software engineer about the requirements as they are scared it will cost too much then the wrong thing is built.

Good answer. A refurb Dell desktop tower or smaller form will get ya 10-20 years service vs. the 5 tops of the laptop (excluding battery and screen for generous comparison because they may fail sooner). Also laptops just seem to do sucky stuff like keyboard randomly stops working. Laptops suck.

The folly is the same as the rock star amplifier that “goes to 11” or how gig economy reviews are 5 star = acceptable or better, anything else means dreadful.’It is just a linear transform people have to do in their heads.

I would take it at a FAANG that actually compensates you for it but out here in the sticks of the rest of the world it just ain’t worth the stress and red tape crunches (like being forced to do scrum or forced to do unrealistic planning in a week for 13 weeks work)

Quite the strawman! If you can’t say “that is too complex”, “I don’t know” or give nuanced answers then… you probably aren’t smart. That said I am moving the goalposts.

I would like to see evidence that people getting hard degrees are like this. Plenty of un book smart people think they know it all too, see Reddit comments for plenty of examples.

A really good blog post might do it. The bar is quite high there as of course lots of people are blogging to establish themselves as the expert in X. So nothing that gives me positioning vibes. Those curiousity driven posts are better.

But also any developer who has clearly done X and we need X at work right now.

There might also be profit in using some of it for day to day expenses then putting all your income into a pension (if possible). Effectively reducing tax. Maybe you can borrow against it so you keep it invested. Talk to tax expert.
