In one of the books in the Shadow Series Bean explains his leadership style as:
"I will always explain why something is important, and why we're doing it this particular way... The reason for this is that if we ever find ourselves in a situation where I CAN'T give orders you know what I prioritize and how I might think of something... furthermore, if we're in a situation where I CAN give orders but DON'T explain you will understand that it's simply because I do not have time, but presumably have good reasons, and will proceed to immediately execute said orders"
It appears this emergency room operated in a similar capacity
Hilariously out of touch quote in article that is on a surface level so thoroughly researched. There is nothing simple about "message and conversation every now and then"
The author touches on this themselves:
> I was relieved — I didn’t want to dwell on my present circumstances because it would have highlighted how much our paths have diverged.
Trivially easy and people treat me like I have social super powers
Also no point. But honestly, if you want people to have kids earlier, you need to make them think that their life won't be bleak if they do.
I will say though, I think there's a chicken and egg element in this line of thinking.
A part of my thinks that being childless in twenties provides space that facilitates being a basket-case.
I think that having a child immediately makes most people at least 50% more responsible, and 85%+ within a year.
Again, there's a huge range here for people who: - Never get better - Their 85%+ still isn't really responsible enough.
Unsolicited 2 cents from a guy who had a kid in his twenties
> The mean (SD) reduction in energy intake was -313 (509) kcal/d for TRE, -197 (426) kcal/d for CR, and -16 (439) kcal/d for controls
So — the time restricted eating group reduced calories more than the group that counted calories; but the resulting weight loss has the same cause: reduced calorie intake compared to before.
If there’s a take away here, it’s possibly that adherence to a calorie deficit using a time restricted eating plan is easier than adherence to the same calorie deficit by explicitly tracking calories.
If you can adhere to a calorie deficit through other means, you won’t lose weight faster by adding intermittent fasting while maintaining the same calorie intake.
It's hard to count calories accurately.
It's very easy to look at the clock and determine if it's between 1300-1900 hours
You can lose people who might be key contributors. You can destroy morale in the rest of the company. Everyone else knows they might be next, so they will leave first chance they get. Finally, it signals to the market you are in trouble (hence why a lot of companies are doing it now: better to be just one more company doing layoffs when everyone else is doing it).
It's hard to look someone in the eye and say they're done
There are a lot of assumptions on this thread. I don't know the answers in this case (not sure if anyone does?) but I think it is naive to assume that Bandcamp was wise to be employing all these people. While acquisitions tanking a company with stupid decisions are super common, it's also super common for companies who are trying to look like they are growing (for future funding or acquisitions) to have way too much staff (and thus, high a burn rate) instead of running a sensible, profitable business. It is not necessarily a good thing that they have tons of employees - sometimes it's entirely motivated by putting lipstick on a pig in order to look like a runaway growth success thing.
Songtradr is in the music infrastructure business. I think it's quite possible they are cleaning house to make Bandcamp a more viable business that is actually focused on their core business. Doesn't seem impossible to me that Bandcamp was way off base trying to make too much written content when really, it's about selling music.
But I'm spitballing here, anyone know more about whether Bandcamp was bloated?
No surprise that this approach was very much a "Low-Rates Phenomenon"
Not saying you should disregard today's AI advancements, I think some level of preparedness is a necessity, but to go all in on the idea that deep learning will power us to true AGI is a gamble. We've dumped billions of dollars and countless hours of research into developing a cancer cure for decades but we still don't have a cure.
