  • Saw the video of people playing on this the other day and it was really cool and the engineering was insane.

    It's funny though, this in non physical from has been around for 20+ years. I remember playing Kung Fu Chess with people back in the day which is basically this and it looks like it's still around.

  • Honestly the steamdeck shows we are getting close. It works like that, just in a slightly bigger form factor and without some of the phone hardware.

    A little more tech advancement and I think this won't be that hard to do.

  • I'm no where near the CEO level, but I am a mid level manager. There are enough different things going on in my org that there is no way I could know how to do everything. However, I view my role as empowering and supporting those who do. I understand I can't do the things, so I spend most of my time listening to those who can. The problems come when people start thinking they know better than those doing the work. I strongly believe I work for my team, and if that ever gets me out of alignment with upper management, I've accepted that means I'll be let go. But this model has gotten me great success.

  • There's one other use case I love - i ask it to interview me or challenge me on my ideas. It can sometimes ask questions that cause me to rethink things. But in the end, I'm still the one doing the work. It's my advanced rubber duck.

  • Their underperformance is a higher savings/investing rate that leads to a greater wealth disparity long term. This is why redistribution (through taxes or other means) is so importantly to balance the scales.

    But as other commenter's have pointed out, my target would be billionaires not doctors and lawyers.

  • I'm in the situation you're talking about right now. There's an upcoming restructuring and on paper, I've been able to reposition my teams so there's no job elimination and I've found homes for everyone. I'm actually excited about the plan. But I've been around the block enough to know that my plan on paper might not be accepted, and that this is just phase one. The funding to contract externally needs to come from somewhere. Laying off entire teams might be what causes me to finally put my own job on the chopping block to save a few others. I could go back to being a staff dev and it's potentially not even much of a pay cut. But damn do I love everything else about my job, but mental load of these decisions, even when I know they're the best ones I could make, is a lot.

  • Would love Asylum. Scared for my daughter growing up in this country right now. Realistically we'd have a hard time taking it and leaving our families, but I told my wife anything is on the table if our daughter needs it.

  • I manage a team of about 50. I've been in management for about the past decade. Prior to that, I was a technical lead heavily involved in hiring. I've also run multiple intern programs that hire by the dozen each summer. I've hired hundreds and been in thousands of interviews.

    Ive never once seen someone hired because of the color of their skin.

    I do however aggressively look for people from different backgrounds to be in my candidate pools when hiring. That can really mean anything. Mono culture is a huge detriment to the org because then everyone ends up thinking the same way. I look for people willing to challenge the status quo and bring unique perspectives while still being a great teammate.

    There are probably people I've hired who normally wouldn't have gotten an interview based on their background but then were the best candidate. When I've had candidates that are equal, I've occasionally hired the one who is most dissimilar in skills/thought process/goals to my current team because that helps us grow. The decision was never someone's skin color, but their background certainly could have influenced the items I chose as my hiring decisions.

    DEI is not just hiring. DEI is creating a culture where people of different backgrounds can succeed. There are so many different ways to be successful at the vast majority of the roles I hire. It's my job to make sure my org is setup so that people can be successful through as many approaches as possible. This is the part I see most often missed. If your culture only allows the loud, brash to lead, I would have missed many of my best hires over the years who led in varied ways.

  • Are you me? Currently at the director level debating a switch back to dev. Prior director in my role did the same. I actually love my boss and when I'm empowered to run my org, the work is great. But too much of my job is trying to insulate my teams from the BS and it's burning me out. But I'm not sure I'd want to give up being able to fight the BS and would eventually get frustrated by it again as a dev.

    So here I am, riding it out. I know at some point politics will get me and my style of insulating my engineers will cost me my job, even though by doing so we have great productivity metrics. And being real - I think the hardest part is that by shielding my teams from the BS, I become the face for the shit that does get through so the people I fight so hard to protect often blame me for their very real complaints.

    I'm not sure what's next for me, but I save everything I can because I assume that the change might not be my choice.

  • Intention vs Impact. I recognize that it might not be my intention and it might be fully outside my control, but I was being an ass. Being called out when I do it is good and important, because it helps me figure out next steps - how do I recover from what I missed, how do I make them feel heard, do I have the type of relationship with this person to share my ND?

    Part of accepting myself as ND is being able to be called an asshole, accept I was being an asshole, but understanding that it doesn't make me a bad person and I shouldn't feel bad about it since it was outside my control but use it as a chance to figure out the best next steps.

  • Claim is also a later step in the process. The first step is prior authorization. So they could deny the prior auth that leads to work not being done which leads to no claim to count as a denial. Or a patient doesn't submit the claim because it had a denied prior auth, so again no denied claim. 90% on claims is a terrible percentage.

  • Twonks

  • Wife and I solved this by rule of 3. She gets to decide if she's suggesting options or making a choice. Whoever is suggesting options gives 3 choices. They must be something the other potentially likes. The other then either chooses one of the three or has to suggest 3 choices of their own. We rarely have to go past the original 3 options any more.

  • Dave the Diver. I had put down gaming because of tiredness and this game was such an unexpected joy of exploration and cute story for me. Easy to pick up and do a quick dive, decent progression based on a mix of skill and leveling up your character, and the writing was excellent. First game I 100% in forever and it was while playing it 30 minutes at a time.

  • Here's the thing ... if there aren't buyers enough to maintain the price, the paper value isn't correct. This is an artifical scarcity, and this bill would be a bail out to the rich and leave the US taxpayers holding the bag when the market crashes. The US taxpayers would then own all this bitcoin with no way to sell without crashing the market so it's just a direct transfer of wealth to the current holders.
