A huge amount of effort in society is wasted in pointless competition simply because people need income. Imagine 2 farmers selling melons, each with 50% market share. One discovers if she hires a social media marketer she can get to 70% mar

The performance comparison matters if you start comparing nginx, and maybe even the Go/Rust frameworks, but it absolutely blows Rails out of the water for performance without sacrificing any of the high-level abstraction goodness that

One more piece of Anecdata, Im an Australian who has decided to go for US citizenship, for several reasons but all basically due to a continuous disregard for personal liberties by our government. Australians love being told what to do, see

If you want to box up the cost for accounting purposes why not just hire elastic search consultants? From the buyers point of view its not any different from a proprietary company

We laud Google for being our goto for everything, but it surprises me that search hasn't fragmented into specialised fields. Building a Google just for farming for example, seems like it could be better at serving that niche than gigan

I didnt really intend it as personal feedback for your post, its as much about my failure to understand as it is the explanations. If its useful to you then great, but on the flip side, dont take it too much to heart :)

This video is FANTASTIC. Thank you so much. First time I've ever see someone draw what the imaginary number is conceptually! Also seeing a 4 dime sional vector space defined in R2 blew my mind. Thankyou. Students these days are very lu

If I had a dollar for every explanation of complex numbers that is basically just "A complex number is a real number plus an imaginary component, where i = sqrt(1)" I would almost have enough money to go back to uni and study math

I didlike Facebook immensely but this isn't their fault. They are a huge victim in this case. If the shooter had set ten open-source video stream boxes around the globe instead (seems possible) who would we be getting mad at then? The

I live in the inner city, eat out a lot and its not unusual for me to drop a hundred bucks on tickets in a week. I eat at a restaurant for my lunch break, I probably spend ~$30/week on groceries. People like me are the reason for the a

What is the point of this comment? You cant justify the bad by pointing at the good. Murderers dont get let off just because they do charity work. ExxonMobile are still responsible for supressing climate change awareness even though oil is

I am so surprised people here are taking Amazons side. Whilst technically yes open-source implies open, the movement was never about giving away free stuff to mutli-national conglomerates, who themselves do hardly any open-source. With Amaz

I think this is a fantastic point, but it leads to the next question which is that are the current world powers any different?
