It has been said before but I would like to remark on it:
It's not that 10x engineers do 10x the work, it's that they do -different- work that produces 10x the value. We could also call them O(log n) engineers as opposed to O(n^2) engineers.
Human behavior must be very confusing to the animals who observe it. The strange situations we create by (for example) dropping nets and catching dolphins, only to let them free. (Do they know we put out those nets, or are we just helpful monkeys that sit on the evil loud floating net monster and sometimes save them?).
And I wonder if the animals that we run these intelligence tests on know the humans are behind the tests. Maybe if crows achieve a culture with legends and stories, they'll have the a trickster god -- white coat, glasses man. For lab rats I guess white coat glasses man would take a more malicious aspect.
It was a while ago, so I actually don't remember how they regarded the humans -- the bad guys were mostly other animals, right? And then the farmer was some sort of distant menace or something... I think... good stories. I wonder how they hold up to adult readers.
Yeah, I suggest trying -other- brands of bluetooth earbuds and then write a comparison. After experiencing more frequent and odd annoyances, for me AirPods really do "just work".
