Employer / Employee has to be a match. If an employer prefers employees who have a social presence, then you and them are not a match.
Re:The science of why you have great ideas in the shower on Saturday January 07, 2023 @12:42PM (#34290489)
For starters there's less [performance] anxiety while taking a shower of doing mundane tasks.

In a way it's the "monday night quarterback" meets the "you missed a spot over there" syndrome; the farther away we are from the point where the rubber meets the road, the more we can observe objectively and have higher level of thinking.

The problem at hand is how to juncture the thinking/intention with proper action.

This is great! I am about to start datacamp, but I will also play with this one too.
Re:The creator economy: the top 1% and everyone else on Saturday January 07, 2023 @10:04AM (#34288595)
It's actually not Pareto's but more like "Normal Distribution" and that is something embedded in Nature/Society that one can't change or eradicate. It's just the way things work, the natural dynamics.

But that is objectively speaking.

Objectively we all have great tools:

* Free Will

* Agency

* Locus of control

and more. Choose wisely.

Re:Software horror show: SAP Concur on Saturday January 07, 2023 @08:40AM (#34287869)
SAP Concur is weird. Supposedly the best solution in the marketplace (got any alternatives?) and 50% of the functionality is pretty good, the remainder 50% is questionable.

And the complexity reminds me of mainframes' UX.

Friends don't let friends GoDaddy.
So really it boils down to attribution, therefore if GitHub were to disclose attribution to all the copyright owners of the code used to train the model, then this issue will be mute.

It will be a long list, but just a list.

Re:My Bad Habit of Hoarding Information on Friday January 06, 2023 @07:54AM (#34274110)
I used to collect links and abstracts of things that were of interest to me on a customized WordPress install, visible to the public.

And I did such a good job that my "site" was very rich. The problem was not storage, so to speak, the problem was, and still is, recollection.

I had no need or I didn't remember >95% of the things I stored, and for that 5% that I needed or remember, I could just as easily find them using google.

So I abandoned the practice and now google is my new bookmark site.

What happened to supply & demand?

If there's more demand than supply, increase the price and the supply pool will increase as well.

"The Innovator's Dilemma". I read the book and I took the class in b-school.

At the moment I thought it was OK, fast forward a decade and it's one of the pillars of my business thinking.

Reading makes you a better writer.

Writing makes you a better thinker.

Better thinking leads to better everything.

David Mamet's writings on writing are the best.

A FAQ would be nice.
