  • I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this too. Just yesterday, I was thinking “what would Mr. Rogers say/think at a time like this?”

    Then it dawned on me that maybe the worst parts of society had a radically different upbringing and media exposure than myself. 1 The so-called “violent” cartoons (many of which were just toy commercials) I get and recall people keeping that stuff from their kids. But to think of banning something like (1980’s) PBS in your home, of all things. Now I understand why that messaging existed in the first place - we might be worse off right now without it.


    1. Insert “we-are-not-the-same-gen-x.jpg” meme here.





  • I think it’s HGH gut. Man’s rich as hell, so of course he’s going to pay for all the health and life-extending stuff he can get his hands on. Human growth hormone can combat aging, but it’s not perfect.

    HGH is known to be an effective generator of muscle mass, which is why it is so often a favorite for bodybuilders. However, there is a large concentration of growth hormone receptors in the large intestine, which can contribute to the intestine’s undesired growth. Specifically, this tends to occur when an individual uses illegal HGH without doctor supervision.


  • Overtime work for your own company? If you want, sure. It all comes back to your pocket after all. You do you.

    Upset that your staff isn’t participating in your non-existent work/life balance? It’s only weird if they don’t own an equal share of the business with you, or are not well compensated for the inconvenience.

    Publicly shaming your staff on LinkedIn for spending time with family? Get ready to lose your top performers.


    Edit: another lemming pointed out this is a co-working space. In which case, the above doesn’t directly apply to the guy in OP’s post, but is a familiar story nonetheless.









  • I agree with your professor. It’s one of these things that people have a hard time understanding. A lot of folks can easily imagine the end-state, but have no clue what has to be solved to arrive there. A lot of folks think that projects in electronics, software engineering, computing, etc. are just a linear march from beginning to end; failure is a human or resource problem. In reality, there are problems out there that get exponentially harder to pull off with linear inputs, which is much harder to imagine let alone a great way to scare off investors.

    In this case, the framing of the problem is all wrong. We’re not trying to solve “a car that drives itself” (e.g. autopilot). Instead we are “simulating human sensory organs and cognition in order to pilot a vehicle without catastrophe or injury.” The latter is much harder to solve, but IMO, is a much more realistic portrayal of the job.
