Practicality

First thought I had as well. Aren't quarks matter too?

I still think the key is raising the collective intelligence. Not that smart people are always productive, but they are capable of being so.

So long as the average human is just barely sapient, we aren't going to be collectively achieving much. It's always exceptional individuals who have great achievements.

Average people don't really do much. Nothing personal against being average, of course, it's just not sufficient for great achievement.

I think intelligence augmentation, such as neural lace and Neuralink, is a step in the right direction.

Nothing that went from female to male?

Evolution doesn't move fast enough for any technology to be relevant to the discussion of how this works.

Not a downvoter, but it doesn't quite work. Google isn't against open-source. It's somewhat related, but not exactly.

Evolution was so last eon. We've got CRISPR now. :D

You know that fish is a type of meat, right?

It's just a blog post about what he has observed as a common problem with teams falling behind. I think it's a little much to call it worthless.

Excessive focus on unimportant details is a real problem. Everybody probably naturally focuses either too much on details or too little, and this person recently ran into some teams that focused on them too much, preferring to polish features the customer didn't care about rather than finishing the product.

At first, I only saw one ad when I went there (just now). I forgot I had my adblocker on. Then, I tried to load the page again and saw "Haaretz.com is now inaccessible to visitors using ad blockers"

Wow, someone is actively working to squeeze the incoming traffic.

Capitalism sometimes rewards those who provide value, but more often than not has no problem rewarding people for spouting self-righteousness.

If you think that everyone who gets rewarded in a capitalist society do so because they provide value then you have to ask: What value do scam artists provide?

Right. As someone who has torn apart an engine before I was constantly thinking "where are those parts going?" "Are they just throwing them on the floor?"

Targeted ads. They look like interesting articles but then when you get there it's just a few facts and then more ads. You end up making somebody money from ad clicks but never find out the information.

Ironically, the solution is to usually just google the topic, satiate your curiosity and move on. But I can get stuck in a looking at ads for an hour before I realize what is happening. It's such a waste.

It's a real problem. Anecdotally, I've talked to several people struggling to stop clicking on ads so they can keep getting things done. I struggle with it sometimes as well.

Oh man. About 10 feet behind my chair is where another department likes to have their meetings. And for whatever reason, they also like to stand there and swap gossip about all the employees.

I mean seriously. I DO NOT need to know any of those things. Especially while I am trying to work. Please go away. Of course they talk really loudly too.
