@sergelo01@IsaacKing314 True they could all be stationary relative to an ocean liner while the ocean liner is moving perpendicular to the forward direction of the trucks moments after the boat was hit by a wave that rocked the boat in such a way as to induce the movement shown by the water in the trucks
@Thmsrnd@IsaacKing314 I would assume the water would be still. But that would depend on how long it had been stopped. My suspicion is that any of these could be accelerating or decelerating. But I’d still bet that the stable one can maintain the highest speed
@garrytan Reminds me of this book from design class. This comment pretty much sums it up. I wonder if AI will bring that Wabi Sabi once it’s embodied in robots
I’m glad that it’s virtually impossible for mark to go broke now. It’s good that we have methods to protect your self after having risked much to usefully grow society. But I don’t understand how this diminishes the value of employees. I’ve been through a layoff from Google, which is a similar caliber company, and I felt valued even through that process. I also don’t understand why the risk argument is bad as justification for holding wealth. The words ludicrous and hoarded feel like exaggerations to me because it’s never clear what is meant by wealth here. Often the biggest rhetorical effect comes from referring to net worth but that feels dishonest since much of it is illiquid and may not even be realized gains. Idk. I don’t see a big problem with mark docking his boat the day of layoffs. Our economic incentives in the US are there because building a useful company is hard but we think it’s good anyway. I’d like more people to take the risks associated with that. I would not want less people to innovate and build because they’re worried that their success will cross some threshold where it should now be distributed in some new way that is applied retroactively. Or maybe you meant to arrive at a different conclusion?
@IsenbergHenry@TheFPlacido@dvassallo Okay, I see it. But come on, the risk is not the same as a founder would have. It’s a w2 not a sole proprietorship. As far as opportunities that pay this well go, risk is quite low. But I see your point. I like to be pedantic too
@IsenbergHenry@TheFPlacido@dvassallo It may be that the job carries risk but you can also choose to plan for these risks by living within your means. With tech jobs like these, there is more flexibility to do so that other jobs. Try to build buffers in your spending to account for a potential pay gap.
@altryne@Yuchenj_UW This is how I grew up. The Java either compiled or it didn’t. When you miss a semicolon it shows a thousand errors and you have to find the source error
