Some would call this a valuable skill.

Why would a Canadian who has options stay when the government shows time and time again that real estate should make more money than productive members of society, and that capital should be used to inflate assets than to invest in the country's future?

I don't think success directly translates into high trust.

I think of China as a hypercompetitive place, which to me should mean lower trust.

This data conflicts with my image of Japan and China, and I wonder where the discrepancy lies.

I think the 2008 recession and its aftermath redirected many "Wall Street people" to Silicon Valley.

When merit is easy to define and measure. I have a lot more respect for athletes than tech leaders.

Youtube premium is not claiming AGI to justify a certain valuation.

I think those tickets are for people who train watch on the platform or see off friends/family from the platform.

> The amount of transparency over government

Can you describe how transparency over government has increased (by social media)?

Agreed.

> I have given poor reviews to people who invested lots of time and energy in projects and probably even did good work on them, because they were _completely_ off strategy and completed before anyone who knew better could tell them they were a waste of time and energy.

Alignment is really hard to do when management claims they're there to "support" engineers and their decisions, and not dictate from above. I see this as a great CYA move, couched in empowering language.

It is even harder when they visibly reward shiny new features while trumpeting a pivot to reliable infrastructure, only to change their mind and behavior on a whim. Mixed signals.
