It creates a lot of perverse incentives, and is probably a bad idea in the long run. If the govt makes more money when intel is successful, then the govt is incentivized to sabotage Intel's competitors (e.g. through tariffs, export controls, and many other powers). This distorts the free market that is (allegedly) at the center of America's success

"there are in-groups that the law protects but does not bind, and out-groups that the law binds but does not protect"

i.e. freedom for me but not for thee

If you wanted to be realistic, you wouldn't say for sure that they won't.

> If your job was mostly converting one well-defined input into a well-defined output — natural language to SQL, requirements to code, ticket to PR, design spec to working component, log line to incident report, customer email to ticket — your task got compressed by an order of magnitude.

All of these inputs are rarely well-defined. that's the crux of the whole agile manifesto

eggs and milk are generally cheaper per gram of protein, and both have the same PDCAAS as chicken

How is eating meat pragmatic or economic? A vegetarian diet is less expensive and just as healthy.

If you really think Trump's reason for gutting the BLS is so it can become more accurate, I have a bridge to sell you

I watched the video, and I think the creator of the repo might be concerned about liability. Also, the perturbed plates don't look that interesting, they just look slightly dirty

If billions weren't enough, why should we expect a trillion to work?

- high unemployment means the fed will do a rate cut, so markets go up

- low unemployment means the economy is booming, so markets go up

hmmm... the more I learn about the stock market, the more I believe in the limits of human understanding

I'm not so sure that things would settle down if trump was out of the picture. Trump is obviously an active force, but even if he is gone, the forces that led to his rise will still exist. In other words, even without trump there is a strong anti-elite, anti-expert, nationalist/isolationist movement in the US. Waiting for trump to die or go away is foolish.

This is hilarious. You don't trust your local government, which is accountable to you and is made up of people living right next to you (drinking the same water); but you DO trust a faceless, unaccountable corporation. I guess the corporation probably has better marketing!

they're saying that "slime mold" culture, where independence and initiative are rewarded, it's possible for one employee to write a document like this. The employee can examine and criticize the culture because they have a high degree of independence. The "slime mold" culture is capable of being more introspective than a more "top down" culture can be.

I think they're also saying that the document is written from the POV of a single employee, and isn't the result of a full study/survey of the whole company

Every time something like this makes the hn frontpage, I increase my monthly recurring donation by 1$. Wikipedia is literally the best thing to come from the modern Internet and I'm not willing to let it die, no matter how "problematic" the Wikimedia foundation becomes.
