School, and the socialization that occurs there, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Work is generally just work, it's not like your personal development suffers if you skip it.
I find that boredom is death for creativity, but tedium is a goldmine. If I'm not doing anything, I don't think of anything. If I have a tedious but active chore, I need to bring a notepad along with me to capture all the ideas.
But the parent to your response has a point - knowing that the answers are CC licensed and knowing that the owners might have a ten-figure exit are different things. If the community were more aware of the latter, they might have been more canny about donating their efforts.
Not the person you originally asked, but an HOA is an additional layer for a start. Moreover it tends to have more restrictions, of a kind that would seem ridiculous at the level of local government (e.g. what color your curtains can be, in the case of the condo I'm currently renting.)
This was the same author that wrote about the Uber iOS YOLO recently [0], without cursing Travis Kalanick.
I somehow missed the second half of the title (with the word "quit") and I was worried he was again getting into a situation where he was doing a lot of heavy lifting for a company that was ultimately taking advantage of its contributors.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted, this is my experience as well. It's to the point where if it doesn't ship from Amazon, I don't buy it.
The last thing I accidentally bought from a non-Amazon shipper arrived in a semi-destroyed box, inside a too-small bubble-wrap envelope, apparently shipped from someone's condominium (I guess they bought in bulk and repackaged?)
People back then knew that "hanging out" in a public place was worthwhile.
I wish there was a model of public place where you and your pals could buy breakfast+lunch, or lunch+dinner, and occupy the table for the whole time in-between.
Bars let you stay for long periods, but after three or four hours everyone ends up hammered, which is a different thing.
> Not a good take. These individuals have the choice of where to go. What should we say? You can’t come?
The US does say "you can't come" to most people who aren't highly skilled, so this choice of where to go comes out of the aligned interests of the US and the migrant, not a general principle.
I'd prefer blatant product placement, e.g. Kermit the Frog emerges from Greedo's corpse in the "Han Shoots First" version of "Star Wars", looks directly at the camera, and tries to sell the audience cigarettes.
I'm surprised that "moral hazard" is rarely mentioned in these types of stories. By making their overtime effort available to the CEO as insurance against bad decisions, the engineers are in a way encouraging more bad decisions, since it's the engineers bearing the costs.
Isn't proof-of-work intrinsically wasteful though, as a proxy for costing money (e.g. instead of paying money directly for the right to mine BTC, you buy electricity and burn it)? In any context other than cryptocurrencies it seems like microtransactions would be a better choice.
