How did you get into large scale manufacturing and production? Was it a career switch? Downsides? It too fascinates me. Any book recommendations?

France had almost a thousand years of autocratic and aggressive tradition. Prussia/Germany too. There’s many more examples.

These things can and do change.

I think society has never, does not, and probably will never work the way you suggest it should.

I wish the journalist asked the leading scientists in the field “Before you learned of the Hubble tension, what did you think the odds were of the standard model being correct? And after?”

And everything would be much clearer.

The Wikipedia article you link states:

> It has been called one of the least productive Congresses since 1951

Let’s not measure productivity in terms of count of bills passed like measuring output by lines of code.

Healthcare reform, SS reform, fiscal sustainability, electoral reform, climate, immigration, information environment, cybersecurity, how many of these pressing issues have been tackled and solved by congress?

My guess is that each simultaneously picked a number, one for numerator and one for denominator.

History unfolds without anyone at the helm. It just happens, like a pachinko ball falling down the board. Global economic structures will push the development of AI and they're extremely hard to overwhelm.

In my high school, without naming any names, the teacher told us all that anyone who changed their results to 9.81m/s^2 was doing science incorrectly. And we were graded on our analysis of the experimental procedure, or something like that.

Botswana is actually reasonably well developed and stable. It seems fine, and I applaud them.

Have you ever thought of adding a feature like automatically analyzing invoices to show owners “This supplier raised the price of 2x4 Joists by 22%” and other such insights?

When have the corporations ever not had a short-termist "Fuck you, I got mine" mentality in America?

Your team gets a clear and simple high-level goal that everyone at the company understands is important and shields you to work on it for a year without interruptions.

You don’t know it, but your manager playing up your teams contributions to the company, arranging happy coordination with other teams, occasionally intervening to resolve intra-team disputes, privately managing egos and careers, and jiu jitsu’ing any attempts to distract your team.

They trust your competence and decisions, but they understand enough to keep you on-track and provide a valuable outside view perspective.

What does “whether it’s worth it right now” mean? As in, whether companies are really worth as much as they’re valued?

I agree, and at the same time I think that sometimes you realize your approach to life has been wrong and you’ve learned your lesson but it’s easier to start over than to fix the existing problems.

In this case I recommend moving cities within your own culture rather than switching to a new one.

I know this experience is not universal, but I do think it is underrepresented.
