That's 100% true, exhibit "ant man". But felt like he was leading to the actual math before paywall. Comes down to a probabilistic existence, and exhibiting characteristics based on other particles being present or not present. All of which makes no sense to human life.

Checkout "hawking radiation" for a real concrete example

This was so bizarre. It was like... Describing the basics of strategy, and saying what strategy should be, but then never actually discussing anything but mission orientation.

The whole "stack" thing was meaningless, ripped from tech discussions with actual dependencies and rehashed without understanding. Like the rest of this bullshit MBA consulting

If you would like to read about actual product strategy methods, there are a ton of good books available. Check out Richard Rumelt for the source of where these basics are ripped. Simon Wardley has some really deep knowledge if you want to go down the tech strategy rabbit hole.

This is damn interesting. I've seen a couple reads on the Russian elections but never seen it turned to the US. I think it would have to get a deeper analysis with more fine grained data but seems like it's got some solid indicators one could follow.

sorry mate, most of these complaints come from a bunch of misunderstandings, mostly "this is not how I'd do things." Worse is saying you come from web then explaining why this engine running a completely different domain is "bad." Think you don't understand why web is the way it is and how many levels of complexity you're missing.

Funny, Hannah and twilight zone in my building too. Wouldn't surprise me if they have some titles sprinkled through where they have no content

I don't think it is. In my experience this attitude produces poor work and is a drain on the rest of the team.

Nice work. I really appreciate acknowledging the landscape and sharing that work before putting your own into the mix. Underrated step

It hit a note for me too. It's a microcosm for all of the internet. On one side list of talented people doing interesting stuff, on the other some fuckin thought-leader-wanna-be shitposts to hackernews "this is bad because I don't get it" and I waste 20 mins. It's a failure of democracy

He's definitely trying to explain something, he just isn't sure what it is

This is a great example of bad writing. I think you have an inkling of a premise, but spread it weakly across three paragraphs while muddling through your feelings and misunderstandings about models. You never actually define or defend a position. Couple times you've come close to contradicting yourself, but the premise is so weak I can't say for sure.

I do think you successfully communicate that you struggle with some of the concepts you're trying to refute.

Just looking at your highlighted statements:

> The most valuable mental models do not survive codification. They cannot be expressed through words alone.

Close to stating a premise but you've gone and blown away the the subject of models. I think you're trying to say farnam street is selling snake oil, but you're now arguing experience can't be taught, which is tangential and generally uninteresting

> When Warren Buffett studies a company, he doesn’t see a checklist of mental models he has to apply.

1) You don't know that and 2) "warren buffet studies a company by running through a checklist of mental models" is a claim you've just come up with to refute (strawmen seem to make up the majority of this post)

> How do you know if a computer program is badly designed? You don’t go through a mental checklist; instead, you feel disgust, coloured by your experience.

No. You've indicated you don't understand design, and again that a model = mental checklist, which is your own assertion

Usds never "had it", it's always been handled by MULTIPLE contractors. This last version one contractor works on backed, one works on frontend, one is responsible for documentation and testing, and none of them communicate.

The tone of this whole post tells the actual story.

Did you even try to play this out in your mind?

Amazing work! I love the thought that went into the artwork

After "defining module:" the page doesn't load.

The phrasing should be along the lines of: "life originating outside of the planet earth."

If we found evidence of life on a moon or comet or asteroid, you would still lose the bet. The current phrasing says "on another planet."

Mine's called ShitToDo.rtf

I misread the title as teaching CS to "Undeserving Kids." I thought, that's a little strange, but I wanna see how these little shits are getting some CS knowledge. But, the real idea is a good one.

1. We die because we accept it. 2. < dramatic pause > 3. ???? 4. Enlightenment
