This “article” uses a lot of words to say so little. There is very little to be gained by reading this. It reads like a search engine optimization attempt.

The parent comment is asking why LIFO, and you’re responding “because Google does it.” I don’t think this response is helpful.

No, if you make the 25-man roster, it's $700,000 [1]. The minimum for the 40-man roster is around $80K. This player was signed as a player on the "restricted list" which does not fall into the 40-man roster [2]. They signed him for $0.

As far as I know, MLB allows players to BUY into health insurance each year for life after 1 day of service. But this player was homeless, so I imagine he couldn’t buy much of anything.

You played for LA? How’d you pivot to tech? I feel like this could be such an amazing story.

I know this article isn’t tech related, but it relates to employment in general.

I’m torn between feeling sad that phenomenal people with rare abilities under terrible circumstances can’t get the most basic of care unless tied to an employer… on the other hand, I’m glad that there are organizations who care when they have 0 incentive to care.

I pray to work for a company that cares this much about their people. I’d be willing to take a 50% salary cut simply because money is an ends to achieving happiness- if that company cared this much about people, I’m sure they’d do other small things that ultimately brings me happiness.

You’re a salesman’s dream. You bought into all these features that are incrementally dubious in value, but magnitudes higher in price.

How does Planned Parenthood relate to hair loss treatment?

Baltimore police is known to be corrupt, what’s BS about the police officers citing unreasonable demands for proof in an attempt to pocket the money?

Is it just me, or is this article way too contrived and all over the place? I grok'd the article because of its high engagement in HN, but I just could not find the point of this article, nor the value of it.

I am asking this question genuinely because I have been told that I am unable to "read between the lines" and that I am considered "transactional" in nature where I need things spelled out for me. I don't necessarily agree with this assessment... could it be that I'm not capable of extracting the content "between the lines?"

I don’t think we’re ready for a world where sunglassed people in a cafe sit there staring blankly. Imagine what it’s like for the various patrons as you adjust your field of view towards their direction. Just awkward.

What corner? What shape only has 2 corners?

4, if you count his early influence and, I believe, founding of OpenAI. Albeit, he was not instrumental in the OpenAI as we know it today, but he set it in motion by hiring Sam Altman as the CEO, among other things.

Please do. I for one would be interested!

Maybe Tutanota.com has a lot of outlook users reporting your marketing emails as spam. I generally do this if the unsubscribe route is too painful, or even if it takes too long to load.

If you read the NPR article, you’ll realize that the issue at hand isn’t about paying tax on income received, but rather, addressing the nuance to what should be defined as income. The Indian investor never sold his initial investment, but there were back door financial transactions that were all-but income, seemingly as a favor for being an east investor.

Was the housing market a bubble if millions of people lived in it and spent 75% of their time in it?

Huberman Lab and Marc Andreesen just had an episode about this. Something about status and power dynamics, and how the current guard will never allow such a drastic change to the status quo because it jeopardizes their existence.

Idk if they said this in the episode, but I believe this to be true, even if it were the most optimal economic arrangement. People’s desire for finding their local maxima prevents us from achieving a global maxima.

I believe, in spirit, what he was referring to was the inordinate premium young people spend for conveniences. He doesn’t have anything against avocado toast, except for the fact that it costs $1.25 to make, but restaurants in NYC or any large city may charge $12 before gratuity for it.

No lie, I’ve seen a slice of avocado toast on a menu for $12. It made me irate. When I go out to eat, I optimize for price, and difficulty to make at home. Thus, I often opt for Ribs with brusselsprouts, because both take a lot of time: tending to the grill, chopping annoying Brussels in half…etc. Even then, you can mess it up, rendering your time spent wasted. I’ve eaten bangin’ ribs with Brussels for $25. Avocado toast takes 2 min, tops and requires 0 skill.

I think that’s the point he was trying to make.

Those are not economists by trade nor profession. None of those people had PhDs in Econ. Never once were they called “economists”

The most interesting part of this statement is that you physically move both hands to clap… I let my dominant hand “hit” my other hand… is that not how everyone does it lol

You mean plans made by someone and provided for free?

I’ll Start:

I wanted to move back into Data Science so I enrolled in Georgia Tech’s masters program. I was very weak in Linear Algerba, so I saved this online textbook for linear algebra to have something to dive deep into during the holidays. https://textbooks.math.gatech.edu/ila/

When Covid happened, I had all the time in the world, and forgot about this link until now lol.

Looking Beyond the shitty title that doesn’t tell you why it’s “unique” until you click the link (and it is not unique anyway), I can’t imagine this tool will provide consistent value for a user. Sure, every now and then, you’ll want to trace back relationships strictly defined by a user at some point… but what meaningful business use cases are there?

Anyone that agrees to doing the work of the level above you before getting promoted is agreeing to be exploited. They want you to do this because they know there’s enough suckers. Don’t be a sucker.

NYC made non competes illegal a few weeks ago.

Here’s the research directly from the source, unadulterated by whatever angle the economist is pushing.

Wow, just watched a clip and was reminded of my time on my high schools varsity bowling team in 2001. Long story short, I was cut from the team because I used this exact technique of not putting my thumb in the hole. The coach’s verdict was “I couldn’t develop to a meaningful player who refused to learn the proper technique” and ultimately cut.

Now, I wasn’t an exceptional bowler, and I swore off bowling after that, but this article and YouTube clips bring back memories.

Note: for people with small hands like myself, it’s difficult to thumb a bowling ball in a manner that is conducive to curving the ball. As an adaptation, the “two handed approach” is a side effect of keeping the ball steady before delivery.

That “government employee doesn’t get paid enough to attract talent” trope has to die. I work with many government employees that are not beholden to the government pay scales and get special exemptions to be compensated “at market rates.” You’d be surprised how many tech employees inside government clear $750k

This was quite prescient of you. At first (hours before they confirmed the debris was from the sub), I thought your comment was a stretch, but still plausible- yet impossible to prove. All too often, we dismiss these conspiratorial hypotheses, but now that the WSJ all but confirms your suspicions, I’m scared to find out what other inconvenient truths there are to life
