You know? I ought to post at least once a week on Leo. I really like the whole idea of the place but finance isn't my best gig :) In fact, it's quite a ways down the ladder. If there wasn't some math involved it might be missing :)
You know how I feel about the 5 minute voting wheel. It's amazing how many decay accounts hit that time window right on. And notice I said decay voting with out going completely crazy and on a huge rant. I'm proud of me.
One really good thing about being a wage slave hourly worker is when they kept me 18 hours they paid 1.5x for every 15 minutes over normal day (some 8 hours, some 10). That was union rules. 15 minutes made an hour pay. If they tried to send you home and bring you back they paid for windshield time. The company only got one free commute per day.
Did some one mention decay voting? I'd probably have something to say about that if they did...
You should. I think having diversified approaches has a lot of value. Real experience trumps theory too.
There are added benefits here too, but not so much for me on days like this. I will get the time owed back and will likely get a little extra time off somewhere, but at the moment I am pretty flat out, as are others. This time of year is busy generally, remote training adds another level. I would have been in NZ for this. I would have been in India a few months ago. Vienna, Germany, Croatia, UK... instead - in front of the screen. :D
Decay voting is interesting, as are a couple of other aspects if you read some of the @khaleelkazi comments.
I'm sure being in front of people instead of a screen is way better for you. It certainly is for me at any level. Not to mention a little travel time...
I may write some ideas about what I think ending decay voting would do short and long term.
