>Second order thinking is not obvious, and requires a complex systematic thought process. Hence the observations are more profound, well-reasoned, and unique.
What a terrrible non-sequitur. Just because you think really hard, doesn't mean the conclusion so derived will be profound. Well known example, Newton thought really hard about many things and some paths didnt go anywhere.
The well-reasoned part is begging the question.
And there's no guarantee whatsoever of uniqueness.
>But then again maybe someone was just getting into photography after having a baby, and their precious first photos were lost! Or photos from a special date, or first (god forbid last) moments with a pet; it's sad to think about,
Things die and change. Holding onto the past with photographs is not healthy.
It's a tree with people near the top being all experienced devs. It's actually quite amazing how the whole thing works to produce high quality software.
And yet most people accept climate change as fact, even though the claim itself is so extraordinary that we as a species are not capable of producing enough evidence for it.
You can't predict accurately within 1 degree celcius the temperature 7 days from now, but you want me to believe you when you try to do it for 50 years from now.
Should have asked them for 5k/hour consultant fee. You have them by the balls, with their entire warehouse system down, and you don't work for them anymore.
He does blogging and stuff. So this seems like a combination of unboxing, business expense tax deduction and simple expensive toys.
An honest setup could be had for much less. I think he could save quite a bit on his PC with custom built, screens by going smaller and more numerous, camera by going 1080p instead of 4k. That would be a perfectly good work from home setup but he wanted to go max and blog about it.
but tbh from the invoices i have seen for business 'expenses', 10k for a critical part of your work flow is forgiveable.
I have a kobo and libgen. They are pretty good alternatives imo.
