Afganistan was the only time Article 5 was used and you can disagree, but yes that was a defensive war. One with an occupation that lasted way too long, but that's a different story.

Wow that is bonkers. Do you think Musk is right about the audiovisual-only approach to self-driving automotives? I must say I rarely disagree with his thinking when it comes to physics and computer science, but that was one of the few times

Trying to censor software folks is going to cost way more than it is worth. Better to easily surveil than to deny.

Yikes. I remember when my dad bought the first fly-by-wire car and even back then I was kinda spooked by it but accepted that adults knew what they were doing. The funny thing is that our next door neighbour bought the same car and the comp

Yes it does. It's these ridiculous hyper-specific questions that make tech interviewing generally awful. It'd be like me asking what type of lock Postgres 12 awards when dropping an index concurrently. Or how long it takes for an

No, the Monarchy does use its power. It has in Canada multiple times. Anyway, not going to keep debating this. Wealth is something that can be reasoned about when an individual doesn't have serious security concerns and when an individ

You're basically making my point for me. The Queen of England is the theoretical owner of most of the land in all of Canada. Take a look at this map of Ontario, for example: https://mapsontheweb.zoom-maps.com/post/

Wealthier than the Queen of England? Wealthier than the Saudi Royal Family? Wealth stops making sense for heads of state because it's wrapped up in politics and tradition. Vladimir can't come to Austin Texas on a whim and buy hims

No. This is nonsense. Nobody has ever, ever asked me about text-size-adjust or <doctype html> in an interview and I've been working in software since 1999 and I make mid six digits in total comp.

You can't be serious. I save someone a million dollars a year knowing how to properly index and query DynamoDB, not about what <doctype HTML> means or whatever. Or when preflight requests in CORS are too expensive to be worth the

I've gotten a fair amount of grant money from different Canadian research grants, some retrospective, some prospective. I've also written grants as a side thing. Probably all summed together I've helped pull in around $1m–$2m

It cuts both ways. The very system that forces people to use four digit years and unambiguous date formats[0] is the same system that leads us all into one giant Year 2038 problem. I mostly agree about executives, though that's fading.

This is called "taking some off the table" and there is a place for it, but it is usually a small part of a bigger push to get the company to rocketing growth.

If you've raised VC and are not bleeding money you've either done something really, really wrong or something really, really right. You're supposed to be bleeding money. That's the whole reason you gave up a chunk of you

The posted article does not go far enough. Due to regulations like GDPR, user ids are considered PII if they're ever transmitted to a device outside the control of the organization. So if you must follow European regulations (and other

The HBO model works better for shows that are going to have more than one season because in the first season people haven't generally heard of it.

You are welcome. If you'd like to chat please let me know. I stayed for a month in Kiev and I'd apreciate talking to a hacker from the region. I'm best reached on Twitter, since my email gets so much spam.

It's pretty rare that I'll downvote someone and also respond to them. I agree with your general thrust, in general but I think you gave up too soon and have too harsh of a take or at least got too unlucky about the sources that

China has their pants on. India doesn't. They won't for a decade at the very least. China has 40% more population than Nato. Their culture is naturally harder to copy because of their extremely difficult language and tightened boa

They have 40% more population than Nato and they don't have the same coordination costs that we do. All we have on them is soft power and economic ties. The first of which is hard to argue with but the second of which is in question. A

How do I know that this money is going to where they say it is going? I'm happy to support it at the top level, I just want to make sure I'm not accidentally funnelling money into Russia's disinformation campaign.

Russia is already dependant on China. Without China they would not be able to weather economic sanctions and a China-Russia (plus minor countries like Belarus) is forming a new anti-Nato block. The logical next move if the pipeline to Europ

If there were no arms races in our economy and no negative externalities to vast wealth (including power imbalances) then I would have no issue because there would not be negative effects on the lives of others. But the issue is that every

Can you describe the sight problem in only one eye? I've had one for a while now and it's getting worse. For example, did your friend have a redder-than-usual eye? I've already seen an optometrist and he thinks its just worse
