question is _why_ are you bringing it on your run?

the OP says they want their run to be time away from the phone. Not just because it is too difficult to carry physically.

Ok, you don't want to fork out for another device just for running, but why do you need a device at all? And what if it is those "needs" that the OP is trying to get away from.

To have a small window of time when you are free from all the damn devices.

What is also interesting is that the only sector thad added jobs was health care.

The two hang together. You campaign in your state to legalize something. Some other state, where you have very little influence, goes the other way.

It isn't just cannabis.

what if the law categorizes abortion as felony/murder?

what if the law categorized certain types of sexual behavior as felony?

> an interviewer can't confirm basic knowledge of data structures and algorithms

agreed. However, as I read the parent's post, they did not immediately see that DFS was an acronym for a basic algorithm. Given their implied background in computer security, a field littered with thousands of abbreviations (very few of which are basic algorithms) it is understandable that they needed a minute to see what DFS meant.

I could alternately ask a number of python developers if they were familiar with Javascript object notation, and cause a panic because they aren't familiar with javascript. Interviews are stressful. If your field always call it 'json' or 'a dict', you might not immediately make the connection.

also the canonical example of a commodity. Basically the claim that all units are fully fungible.

wholesale destruction of almost every biome. Overfishing (where 'fish' means anything that swims) with methods that destroy both the fish and the ecosystem-- have you ever considered what a trawler net destroys as it is dragged over the bottom of the seabed?

And now deep-sea mining.

Didn't we also create a very large internal jobs program to 'enforce immigration law'?

instead of creating a very large internal jobs program to build/repair fundamental infrastructure?

Such a waste. The ROI from 'better roads' is massive.

Wait, how about an infinite speedup? A friend of mine couldn't code, and now he can. So he is infinity-x better at coding thanks to LLMS!

Take that, you mere 10x-ers! Your days are toast!

> how agents do the same (far less mathematically) to seek an acceptable solution to software problems,

except that there is no gradient towards 'better' software, at least not in a mathematical sense.

I read the metaphor differently. Doesn't invalidate your view, and I see that your view better captures the day to day experience.

I read the author as saying that his mind is being fracked, with all the implicit destruction that operation can cause, so that others can extract something from him. Yeah, I see that the analogy breaks down, because the extractors are after attention not dopamine (we're the ones who get the dopamine).

From the article

> Graduates take an average of 5.6 months to land a job in the UK. This is almost 2 months longer than the national average

also noting the average includes, at the fast end,

> Job Average time to get a job (months) > Bar staff 1 > Sales assistant (retail) 1 > Waiter/waitress 1.2 > Delivery driver 1.2
