Comment Re: Fermi's paradox (Score 1) 302

The bit that proponents of Fermi's paradox seem to miss is that there are not an infinite number of places for life to arise that are near enough to us in terms of distance and time for us to observe.

If life arise somewhere nearby a billion years ago... then we missed em.

If life arises somewhere a billion years from now... we can't see em yet.

If life arises contemporaneously with life on Earth, they have to be pretty close for us to see them right now.

Comment Easy metrics that measure the wrong thing (Score 1) 422

Measuring attendance, hours worked, hours in the office is easy.

Measuring productivity is hard.

Previous job, I worked at home because all my time was billed. Measuring productivity was easy.

Current job, I work from work because none of my time is billed. They see me, they say they're validating that I'm working. But none of my output is measured in a meaningful way.
