Please do, thank you! I have been similarly skeptical as your comment's parent

Ridiculous example that does nothing to argue the original, fair point. Obviously health interventions demand more finely tuned solutions than information technology

FWIW, maintaining at least a moderate degree of empathy even in systemically frustrating situations is good for the empathizer and thus in one’s interest

This is incredibly cool. Thanks for the detailed explanations!

Is that how filing for bankruptcy works?

I think the key difference is that: "going to school", sure you need a living stipend, but the actual research phase has serious WLB and working condition issues

Oh look it's jibe's account!

Could you explain the last sentence a bit more? I don’t follow

This is a classic example of slippery slope fallacy, and not in the spirit of intellectual curiosity for which this forum exists

By listening to your friends and circle

DCC is êxcéllént. I have also been enjoying Pale Lights and The Years of Apocalypse.

They are not, that is expectation of future performance based upon past. Reality is too complex and dynamic for that.

The definition of "enemy" is not limited to "people that are trying to kill you"

Why?

Thank you from a long-time hater of Fandom and PE-driven enshittification and lover of community-driven knowledge work

Having given up programming, what do you do now?

Unreal. Thanks for helping me retrain my mental arithmetic

I like the cut of your jib. Let’s let the sails loose on this venture and see if we can’t move the needle.

Not everyone can buy USA bonds. Is the population of winners and losers all humanity?

Same, but not necessarily due to nationality. It very much depends on the company culture and interpersonal relationship in question

Human attention and energy is relatively limited though, and the medium of the Internet and its control is just for that

I think PhD's are generally different enough in Europe vs the US that this might be less surprising upon further research

Confluence, but we're already in deep w Atlassian

Serious question, especially if there’s follow up reading. Where does that principle of assuming baseline good things about the other speaker in polite conversation come from?

r/rational

Extremely strong recommend of Pale Lights, Unsong

Strong recommend to all of QNTM's, especially their SCP work (linked), Ra, Fine Structure. Also to PGTE, Worth the Candle

Recommend to Worm.

Check out r/rational!

Please correct me if I misunderstand, but doesn’t that mean there will be multiple levels of middle management?

It’s not actually bad, OP’s point is that it is not motivated by altruism. An action can be beneficial to the people without that effect being the incentive

To which places are you referring?

Even that can still be too far. I lean towards “your computer” and “their computer”
