Have you considered maybe you're treating your engineers like children? Why aren't they cognizant of the business realities? If they aren't on the same page as the business side, that's poor leadership on your part. I t

You don't. That's the thing. Yet decision makers commit to deadlines anyway, and that's the problem.

The very essence of "whataboutism" is to deflect criticism by directing it at an unrelated party. Zuckerberg has literally no connection to this story, and bringing him up in this context is an intellectually dishonest attempt to

I wonder how many people have Stuxnet on their devices to this day and have no idea. It would be interesting to see how this spread, from an epidemiological standpoint.

There's traditional fantasy sports, which take place generally over the course of the season, and then there's daily fantasy, which takes place on a given day or weekend. The former is generally played among groups of friends, usu

While I generally share your sentiment, there's plenty of evidence that gambling is addictive in nature. It's not just a matter of "unwise spending" for those addicted, in the same way an expensive hobby might be.

A patchwork regulatory framework. Take a look at what's going on with online poker. Any poker site that wants to operate in a state that allows it has to comply with that state's regulatory framework. One of the most notable thing

REST is meant to be discoverable by humans, but actually coding to a "true" REST system, using only hypermedia, is a damn nightmare.

Yes. When that will happen in your case is highly dependent on what you're doing, but it will happen. Eventually you will run into situations where implementing a single small feature requires changes to 3 or more systems, plus deployi

Having microservices doesn't really solve this problem, though, because you still have all those lines of code, plus all the extra code to make it all talk to each other. If the problem is one of organization, that can probably also be

It's not about what you call it, it's about the overhead having many services entails.

Likely, you will see a bunch of random ads instead of targeted ones of things that might actually be interesting to you. Whether or not that's better is up to the user.

The skewed distribution of grad students who have reached the minimum requirement of job experience suggests, to me, that they are there primarily to advance their careers through credentialing, and not because of the knowledge a Kellogg MB

I suspect YC has become similar to the Ivy League schools, in that its primary value is in signaling and networking, rather than the education itself.

It never, ever ceases to amaze me how right Einstein was without the ability to test his hypotheses. At the time it was all groundbreaking theoretical work yet it mostly holds up to empirical studies.

For me it's the most toxic. I quit before they expanded the character limit, but the limited format almost completely annihilates the ability to express nuance. Combine that with everybody else assuming bad faith, it just devolves into

No, but they do have plenty of jurisdiction over business conducted in their country. Facebook is very dependent on a laissez-faire approach to privacy, and snubbing the House of Commons could put that at risk in the UK.

As I mentioned in a different comment, it's probably just gravity. The rock slides against the curl because the ice is not level. Uneven cooling could cause the ice to freeze unevenly, or maybe even sublimate. Shaving patterns over tim

Probably gravity. Shaving the ice in the same pattern every time, or excessive traffic on the edges of the sheet probably cause uneven surfaces over time.

If Wells Fargo's AI is so smart maybe they could use it to figure out a way to do business that doesn't include widespread fraud.

Nobody claimed it was science; it's just advanced pattern matching. I think it's very doubtful somebody would be convicted on the basis of this analysis alone. It seems like it's more useful as an investigative tool rather th

A calorie is a measure of engery. The laws of physics say that if you consumer fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight, because your body needs fuel to operate. Now, your body might try to compensate and change metabolism in resp
