I would make around 240k if my initial stock grants hadn’t nearly doubled in value since I joined. I will probably actually make less money once my 4 year grant runs out, all things being equal.
I find that mindfulness both reduces my stress in the short term, and causes me to reflect and choose to eliminate stress-causes in my life in the long term. Both effects are positive.
Er, no, bitcoin going up is nice if you hold bitcoin like gold, and irrelevant if you imagine actually using bitcoin as a way to do transactions. Bitcoin going up or down in value relative to other cryptocurrencies is orthogonal to the problem that it is inconvenient and expensive as a way to move money.
This comes off as pretty biased. "Run its course?" - really? Remind me, did DeepMind use Probabilistic Graphical Models to beat Lee Sedol at Go? Does any of OpenAI's research use them?
It's definitely possible that people complaining about phony apologies are doing a power thing... Hmm, maybe they want to take away power from people who do bad things?
It would be nice if there was some kind of way to signal true remorse, like a way of speaking with our bodies, a "body language".
No one says the behavior doesn't matter - but without an expectation of social cost (apologies, and further criticism and reputation loss when the apology is tone deaf and insincere), why would anyone care about behaving well? Demanding apologies isn't worthless - it's a power thing.
For formulas, I find Anki to be pretty effective, because it forces me to recall the formula. I also try to put proofs and proof-techniques into Anki so I can maintain knowledge of an area without using it frequently.
Why is integrity such a concern these days? Obviously they're pretending to have integrity for PR reasons, as should be expected. You're just creating an environment where people learn to fake integrity.
Agreeableness is only 42% heritable (the least of the Big 5), and the relative impact of the genetic component decreases if you make a deliberate effort to change your agreeableness, or are incentivized to do so by your environment.
If one can create $1 million/year in revenue for $BIGCORP it's completely plausible that they could create $5 million/year in expected value on some better, innovative idea of they own (or a startup's). The only problem is that the second option comes with a double-digit probability of failure. Extremely progressive tax systems artificially distort this decision towards complacency and mediocrity.
You mention people are risk averse (logarithmic utility of money). I posit that that is only true for non-altruists. An altruist prefers to save 10000 lives nearly exactly 10 times as much as they prefer to save 1000 lives. Given a secure enough financial base off of which the logarithmic personal rewards factor is a non-issue, this is the primary driver for plenty of people that I personally know.
