There are many projects where one shot is the right answer!
But surely you aren’t suggesting literally every software project is composed of one-shot-able building blocks, or that the building blocks never require modifications to previous one-shots?
If you’d tell your kids to push blue and risk their lives, you’re not empathetic, you’re something else. More like one of those suicide cult leaders willing to sacrifice kids for an idea.
Teaching kids not to participate in a conspiracy to commit mass murder of innocent people in order to increase their odds of survival is not at all like teaching them to commit suicide.
Even kids aren't entitled to murder innocent people because it's personally beneficial.
Yes, they do. And killing other people by taking an affirmative action that you know is likely to result in the death of others, with indifference as to whether or not they die, is murder.
There are exceptions. The closest is self defense (the use of reasonable force against the perpetrator of violence), it simply doesn't apply here because the people you are advocating for the murder of are not the perpetrators of any violence.
While we are talking about words having meaning, "suicide" has meaning, and it does not include "choosing not murdering people to avoid being murdered".
My personal take is yes, assuming there's no animal exploitation or cruelty involved.
That said AFAIK there is no consensus: some abstain from all animal inputs while others focus on avoiding harm, which itself can be interpreted in different ways. It's more a philosophy than a rulebook, lab-grown meat kind of sits in a gray area. I'd be curious to try it :-)
What's the ev for going to college once you factor in graduation rates?
People that get two or three years of college debt and no diploma have a big hole to fill and a small shovel.
Anyway, I think ev isn't the right tool to model gambling behavior; dollar utility isn't linear. It's more about a small spending for a large potential. But then you get into repeated small wagers and such.
College graduates make over $1 million in their lifetime compared to high school graduates.
> Anyway, I think ev isn't the right tool to model gambling behavior; dollar utility isn't linear.
You're right. The more money you have, the less utility it gives you, which makes gambling for a windfall an even worse decision. Worse still if you include taxes.
Enterprise is just fishing for other people's ideas that they can use as their own
If you truly had a novel and useful idea, someone else can just steal it and recreate it themselves
