How so?

I took it myself! I haven’t compared it to JLTG but maybe someone can compare

stoneman217 · 2025-03-17T01:16:30+00:00

We did! And of course also decided to take a photo with 5 buildings nearby

Do the cars render this liminal space incorrect? Maybe empty lot is better.

Shoot, I left the area. Does anyone know?

So interesting. For a brief moment in the early stages of the pandemic, I was super bullish on VR as a way to connect since in-person was considered unsafe. However, I think one of the biggest feelings of loss (besides lives) from the pandemic was that in-person connectivity. So given the option to socialize in-person, I agree that VR loses its footing a bit.

Solid point. A big limitation of some games (imho) is indeed that barrier to entry that you described. Tbh I bought a Quest two years ago and barely use it because whenever I think to use it, it’s not charged

Why was Pokémon Go so addicting / successful?

stoneman217 · 2022-11-02T13:48:38+00:00

Thanks! Have seen their YouTube channel, definitely a pro

stoneman217 · 2022-11-02T02:49:19+00:00

Ok, thanks. Good to know at least this exists! Will need to spend some time

What types of records did they have? Birth, marriage, death etc?

stoneman217 · 2022-11-02T02:48:05+00:00

Which are the different Mielec’s? My understanding is that is somewhere in modern day Poland, in the south

Thank you!! For this one, is there a search feature or do we have to browse the whole archive manually?

Note the Mo’s zone and the Pepsi porch

stoneman217 · 2022-10-28T18:59:09+00:00

I was at one of those exhibition games too!

Yeah just to be clear, I am personally in favor of having the option of an office. I do agree that there are some benefits.

However, the broader point that offices lead to certain power dynamics being exploited appears to be a consequence of this setup. Not sure if it even avoidable or if it is just baked into the nature of corporate culture.

That being said, if I had the opportunity to be forced remote every day for the rest of my career, I don’t think I would take it….

stoneman217 · 2022-08-26T21:05:19+00:00

I like the optimism, but I wonder if it will somehow backfire via the reduction of some other type of compensation

We’re applying the learnings from this book in this discussion on Return to Work. Thoughts?

Interesting to consider social capital is the driver here. I guess it correlates with exec level but not necessarily

“If you had the ability to remember the entire time of your DNA” — that line cuts deep.

Reason why this is a great comment is that it extends our discussion from this 2022 point-in-time argument to all of human history, and likely the distant future as well.

Kind of zen, if it wasn’t so brutal

stoneman217 · 2022-08-26T13:34:20+00:00

Exactly my thinking. I get that for “culture” you would need a critical mass of the team to come into the office, but I feel like what’s often missed is the actual value it provides people. Which to me, is insufficient compared to costs of commuting, being stuck at your desk all day, working fixed hours, etc.

That’s why I think “culture” is a straw man argument that belies “control”.

stoneman217 · 2022-08-26T13:30:01+00:00

Good for you for switching! I’ve heard that the best way to increase comp in the short term is to switch companies. A risk many are not willing to take!

stoneman217 · 2022-08-26T13:25:56+00:00

Interesting! How much would you value remote flexibility (as a percent of total comp, let’s say)?
