@agupta This is the most likely scenario, with an asterisk: it is unlikely that Iran or Israel have the capability to decisively win a war with regime change aspirations, and the worst suffering won’t be felt by either, but by the Lebanese. It’s be another humanitarian catastrophe.

@chrisalbon Founding engineer should, by far be the highest salary you’re paying as an early stage though.

@kathrynwu1 Has a lot more to do with your tolerance for financial risk.

@BoringBiz_ The theory goes that when anyone can build the application layer, that market becomes perfectly competitive, and in a perfectly competitive market costs must always zero out. In practice though the barrier to entry will just change to GTM.

@paulswaney3 @teddydsimpson Have you considered the possibility that the consultant in question might have been bullshitting you?

[fauxtomation @Topsmakingsense]

@JacquesDemyfan @davewingrave I doubt that, and fwiw I really loved his work as a producer by the time he was on to The Future!! I think he was just finding his footing with the new sound for a bit.

[fauxtomation @Topsmakingsense]

@JacquesDemyfan @davewingrave Mmmmmm perfect lyrically!!

@JacquesDemyfan @davewingrave The production on Various Positions and I'm Your Man?

@flounder2200 @benryanwriter @mattyglesias Listen, I know that we all have our politics and opinions here, but I really do think it is of paramount importance that we get this right, not just make assumptions--because either of us being wrong would do catastrophic harm to young people.

[fauxtomation @Topsmakingsense]

@flounder2200 @benryanwriter @mattyglesias Are you sure about that? It looks like they may be counting treatment within the clinics themselves--and besides, wouldn't it make sense to get your psych care at the same place that provides your gender care?

[fauxtomation @Topsmakingsense]

@flounder2200 @benryanwriter @mattyglesias Yes, but the gender identity services in Finland are themselves specialist-level psychiatric services, housed in the same university hospital systems...

[fauxtomation @Topsmakingsense]

@benryanwriter @mattyglesias This study doesn’t elaborate on what the specialist mental health care provided to this cohort was though, does it? “It’s typically this” is not a strong enough evidence base to make a substantive case for policy changes.

[fauxtomation @Topsmakingsense]

@benryanwriter @mattyglesias Especially somewhere with as little sunlight as Finland, tbh—would make me depressed.

[fauxtomation @Topsmakingsense]

@benryanwriter @mattyglesias Yes, but you know as well as I do that mental health treatment is often ongoing—if a paintint takes an SSRI, and it helps, treatment protocol is to keep that paitient on it indefinitely.

[fauxtomation @Topsmakingsense]

@benryanwriter @mattyglesias It’s still a very imperfect proxy—and given that the Finnish model today all but requires psych referrals now before someone can access this care (at least per my understanding), you’ve introduced too many confounding variables.

[fauxtomation @Topsmakingsense]

@divinix_chi @mattyglesias It is both essential that we find ways to do so, and that we refrain from making sweeping policy decisions—like the calls some are making to alter ongoing medical treatment plans.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Be prepared, there is a small chance that our horrendous leadership could unknowingly lead us into World War III.

[fauxtomation @Topsmakingsense]

@qualiascript No, I think it has more to do with how you perform with vs. without structure & clear success metrics, and the inevitable growing pains associated with learning how to handle a more ambiguous ruleset. A lot of the people you're describing eventually do well, with time.
