The whole tip thing is a scam to begin with.

Well, it’s possible that its legendary status relies on that. A bit like Firefly.

Perhaps, although when was the last time that happened in Europe?

High-tech military investments in an age of Russian aggression is actually a good thing to do.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 3 weeks ago:
How would one working at said company who wants to work NOT get laid off?
To get a sense of proportions…
www.macrotrends.net/stocks/…/number-of-employees
So they’ve added 100 000 people in about 10 years and are now laying of 9000.
Probably by a combination of 1) not being incredibly incompetent / toxic and 2) not being unlucky enough to be one of the very very few that are doing something management thinks is not needed.

The layoffs happened just recently, this profit has nothing to do with them. We’ll see in the next few quarters what the effect of these layoffs will be.

This highlights a fundamental misunderstanding on how companies are supposed to operate.

Chinese government can print an infinite amount of Yuan out of thin air.
That’s not how any of this works. Sure they can do that, but they cannot control the effects of having done so.

I would say that there’s quite a lot of reason to believe that infrastructure investments can be one of the best ways to help poor people rise economically. Which has obvious paybacks.

This still requires creating infrastructure that is actually needed, otherwise it’s just wasting money.

A feature of rail is very high building costs. If they wasted money on building HSR on a lot of places where it’s not needed, this means there’s gonna be a debt that never gets paid by the utilization of the rail.
So it’s not about maintenance, but the up-front cost.

- Comment on The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise 4 weeks ago:
A) And yet, not long after, Andor was massively successful.
Andor was awesome in addition to being successful. It feels weird when those two things coincide.

I live in country that has plateaued for the last 2 decades.

I once was in a lunch group where one of the people honestly asked the restaurant staff about wifi, standing almost next to this sign. The guy smugly pointed at the sign and said nothing.
It was cringy for everyone involved.

I told my friend that modern tanks fire cannon balls and when he told me I was full of shit, I doubled down on my fact-based superior knowledge that obviously surpassed his meagre ramblings.

When what you think you have learned is not the truth, probably.

People are in their bubbles. People who say that woke is bad are shit. People who say that woke is great are shit. The concept is being used for good and bad for cynically manipulating people to be at each others’ throats all the time because that’s how fucked up shit companies make amazing amounts of money these days apparently.
- Comment on EVERYBODY IS DOING SOMETHING 1 month ago:
Sure, of course, and not liking things can be done without psychoanalyzing the author and it does not require feeling superior to them.

Possibly the only thing more annoying than Yudkowsky are the anonymous online people who think they figured him out.
