not my experience at all across 3 separate companies. Ime senior engineers are the highest level that still spends most of the day heads down most days, and that’s why I’m gonna stick it out at this level as long as I can.

your company has money for no one above mid-level engineers to be actually building the product?

your conclusion doesn’t follow from your premise. the ability to live indoors is going to be important to people even if they think the system by which we decide who is allowed to live indoors is kinda shit.

How do you think it came to be that most Americans believe that in China you can have your home seized for being impolite?

tldr - you’ll just have to do the conversions in your head now because it’s useful to know where the sun is at different points on the earth when trying to communicate across those points.

the fact that the acronym for Coordinated Lunar Time is LTC tells you everything you need to know about how this will work.

The vast majority of human waste is generated by a fraction of that 8 billion

to what end do they generate all of this waste?

Wholeheartedly agree. The only thing I’d add is that I think it’s in theoretical discussions that we underestimate how much a wild animal’s life sucks shit. In the US at least there’s enough forest that if a person wanted to get lost and be totally self-reliant they could take an honest shot at it. I think each of us has had that thought deep down in our secret hearts and, when we do, in that particular moment we make a very frank, honest and accurate estimate about how much fun it would be dying of an infection while lying face down in the cold muck. And this coming from a person who prides himself on being “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.”

I keep finding dead things in my yard because of this. There are at least 3 “neighborhood cats” that someone lets run wild. They’re definitely fed, groomed and collared, they have somewhere to go at night. Do you know of any techniques to reduce the impact short of just letting them come into my house during the day?

we generate enormous amounts of excess capacity and waste very rapidly and then simply displace it onto distant habitats in order to keep it out of sight and mind.

In fairness, the other apes also tend to walk a little bit away from their nesting sites before they poop. The reason there aren’t great big mounds of orangutan poop visible from space is probably more due to the fact that there aren’t 8 billion orangutans all pooping at the same time than anything else.

you can work for food or you can work for tokens then exchange tokens for food but to imagine that every other living thing is just having a lovely time vibing and munching on infinite, freely available grindage while humans are the only species that has to do shit that sucks is just ignorant Rousseau noble savage dumbness

keep deadnaming it until he stops deadnaming his kid

I agree, it’s what you do with the money. Jesus tells you what to do with the money, and either you do that or you don’t.

I’d be curious to see some actual source on that. Shit like that happens all the time and I find it fascinating.

That Jesus talks of a rich person here is irrelevant

it’s your god, of what he says you get to decide what to ignore and what to value
