Yeah I think it mainly comes down to who the code is serving. When people's lives are on the line, it is extremely valuable to make bullet-proof code. However, when you have to get a product out to users to start fueling growth for VCs

Ok, well if you are in a city you are most likely already surrounded by concrete and steel. The idea of these structures is to displace some of that concrete with a green area. What's a better solution for you?

This is really sad. Part of me wonders why, in such a remote area, she decided to go far enough off the trail to get lost just to use the bathroom. It's scary how disorienting the woods can be. I was hiking in the woods in my backyard

Perhaps one of the more interesting things in this article was the depiction of Haumea [0]. I had no clue planets could have an elliptical shape. Pretty cool. Apparently it hasn't been directly observed, but it's shape has been ca

Oh yeah you're right. I definitely hear about lifestyle business all of the time, but I was always under the impression that they were trying to sell you a lifestyle instead of a product/service. I didn't know they were actua

Right now it seems like there are two reasons for creating a company. One is for making a profitable business that creates wealth for the people invested. Two is for creating a product or service that customers need or want. These two revol

I just moved here a couple months ago and am currently searching for apartments. There is no doubt that most people complaining of the prices are competing for housing in the most desirable areas. However, if an area isn't desirable to

You're kind of missing the essential part of alternatives here, and that argument also is a slippery slope. With the same logic, it might make sense to spend thousands of dollars on something you use for your job the majority of your d

That's fair, but I'm willing to bet that anyone who has a chance of receiving an award is well-prepared to give a speech. Executing the speech is difficult whether you are ready or not, and Carmack not only spoke well/fluentl

To be fair, he/she is not really over-analyzing. You just made a pretty blatant logical fallacy to argue your point. Comparing a GM to a rover designed for space is apples to oranges.

While I agree fixed costs shouldn't be ignored, isn't it true that they are called fixed costs for a reason? As in, as Tesla scales up production and is selling way more cars, their fixed cost per unit sold will go down with econo

Elon Musk has been working to build not only the best electric vehicle, but the best vehicle in the world. The Tesla Model S was that vehicle in many ways, though it came at a high price point. Musk's first goal was to build this luxur

Sure, you can boil anything down to a contrived sentence that misses the point, but I never once mentioned it being painful. It's much more about building habits, and it's up to you to decide if habits are meant to be painful or n

For me, eating healthy and exercising routinely requires a lifestyle change. It almost seems contradicting, but if I am going to consistently eat healthy, it needs to consume a larger portion of my life. By sacrificing the money and time to

Indeed, there should be a dichotomy between real life and the web when using this strategy, but again, I think this strategy is more about increasing your own happiness then it is to diminish theirs.

Isn't that too cut and dry? I think what research like this is trying to determine is at what point additional money does not equate to an equal increase in happiness. If you're homeless, then yes, money becomes a huge factor in y
