The average person in the developed world already spends the majority of their free time in front of a screen, and the share increases the younger they are.

Who’s not in the simulation at this point?

Here was me thinking this was about code ownership ;)

What if there’s many more POCs they don’t like than those they do?

So what? There’s only so much interview time, and you need the fundamentals before you can safely use LLMs to speed up.

IMO if you’re going to run an interview that uses coding agents etc it belongs at the end of an interview pipeline.

> These re-interviews are consequential

An open process with a clear rationale is better than a secret process, e.g. company wide surveys that are later used to determine whether you keep your job…

Whether this actually leads to improved productivity and better products is TBD, of course.

“Some people still died in car crashes, so seatbelts shouldn’t be required in cars”

Yes, pricing negative externalities is a good idea. Unfortunately some are more or less expensive to price/enforce

This is already required for new books published in the US, and has been for more than one hundred years.

It’s called “mandatory deposit”

You’re equating something being ubiquitous and affordable with it not being valuable.

Yes, there are plenty of books, many were printed, many have lasted a very long time (plenty over 100 years!).

That says more about the success and utility of the technology than it does about whether individual books should be shredded.

This sounds great until a businessman arrives with a trawler, takes all of the fish, and buys all of the land in your town.

This is the ideal, but in practice you need to own the business to live this way..

As long as the pollution is a negative externality and the polluting option is (immediately) cheaper, people (especially poorer people) will choose the cheaper option.

All of these may result in you bringing in less $ overall, so it really depends on how much each fraud case costs you, but you could (off the top of my head): - Enable always checking CVV - Require 3DS - Ban a card after N disputes - Ban an email/other identifier after N disputes - Ban certain payment methods, banks etc - Add a visible or invisible captcha to fight automated abuse/card testing

I suspect Stripe walks a fine line where they want to help you prevent fraud, but they also want to avoid vendors complaining to them that their customers can’t pay.

Context: I worked on a payments team for a short while.

You can sell the asset, so how does anyone inherit nothing?

Someone who wants to spend an inheritance is going to do it, whether it’s liquid (cash) or marginally less so (real property)
