That's an easy thing to say because it's more difficult to disprove. You could say that about the NYT, Al Jazeera, NPR, CNN, etc etc. Of course the topics that an institution choose to talk about also biases it. If you spend all o

Canceling aside, I don't think the WSJ is particularly neutral, but perhaps it does appeal to your sensibilities (note, however, those are not the same). I find WSJ to take particularly corporatist/capitialist views on things. Whi

Slack also has a scheduled send option. Just schedule it for the morning if its unimportant. Then there's no implied expectation of when something should be addressed. I, like others, sometimes use work laptop for pleasure. actually, I

I don't have a large sample set, but from what I HAVE seen is that most of these surveys are run with altrustic motivations/intentions, but simply do not change anything. In the worst cases, providing critical feedback can be a CL

I think Dimension in the data sense of the word, not Dimension in the spatial sense of the word. Multi-dimension data is a thing, and it goes a lot higher than 4, 5, or 7.

I didn't care for this article. We don't shrug off car accidents. Actually, I feel that driving safety is probably one of the top issues that politicans legislate on (in the form of drunk driving legislation, speed camera legislat

If either of those cases, you could always, you know, pick up the phone and call. But agreed. I think in ¬Dense Manhattan, Uber and Lyft have been a nice improvement service-wise, at least as far as a guarantee you know a ride is coming, an

I don't think it reflects well, I'm merely pointing out that taxis are cheaper than ubers and lyfts, and they know it. In fact, I frequently offer taxis flat-rate to a destination if its busy and uber/lyft are at capacity. It

I recently moved to NYC and the taxis have been a godsend--though (somewhat comically) the drivers are aware they're operating a lower-cost business. My friend recently got in a taxi and the cabbie immediately asked how much she thoug

They recommend you split 10% across the first 10 employees. it's not 10%/10 = 1% each. The earliest engineers get more, the later engineers get less.

I sent a similar reply to a Facebook recruiter. Something song the lines of, "I disagree with the philosophical direction of the company and cannot in good conscience find myself working there." This, apparently, was a way to get

I think what the link is saying is that, people are inherently biased, and to try to pretend otherwise is "potentially harmful," because you still inject your own views in biases into a topic, while pretending that you don't.

I worked at PlanGrid for five or so years, and these sad looking graphs are really what inspired a lot of my colleagues. Even if the data is fuzzy, the directionality says a lot. Construction is hard, and it's getting harder. New code

I don't think that anyone "needs," help with this. Rather, I think this is needlessly judgemental: people have been getting stuck in ruts since the dawn of routine life.

Intentionality can be a very powerful thing. For people who are caught in an endless loop of television shows they've seen many times before, I encourage those people to merely set an intention of watching something new before opening

How do you pick emails consistently? If you sign up for league of legends, which email do you use? Riot? RiotGames? Lol? LeagueOfLegends? Presumably you can always scan backwards to find your email address in your inbox, but maybe not. I gu

"We're not giving you equity; we're never going to sell." If the explanation the company gives you for not giving equity is that they're never going to sell, but they end up selling, how is that not being tricked?

If you don't trust yourself, the domain expert on a piece of code, how do you trust someone else, who has less context, and their own work to do? I think perhaps its a fair point for junior devs, who either don't have a good idea

And the original author's point is that you can't possibly happen to foresee all of the consequences, and so the best thing to do is to just ship the change and deal with what breaks. That's the whole point of continuous inte
