The site is engineered in a way that makes it useless for any sort of expert information. If you know less than the average Redditor about something, it's GREAT, but otherwise it's best to just steer clear. Everybody gets an upvo

Man, I'd like to see some more info on the whole housing industry in general It seems to be completely FUBAR to me. In Japan, housing ISN'T a glamorous investment, and I think that helps the house pricing situation a lot.. You ca

Go to levels.fyi and retroactively give yourself an SDE2 / SDE3 job for the years you worked at the startup, then compare that to the payout someone would have had from working at AirBNB for the last few years. Even if you assume you

Coding is basically the one tradeskill where the free market is still working reasonably well. Apple or Google can turn a $500k total compensation package for an employee into $2M/year or more in revenue, so they'll keep snapping

Well, to be fair, before Robinhood came along it was still pretty standard to pay huge fees AND have your order flow sold. I wish they had been straightforward about what they're doing instead of explicitly lying on their website abou

I work in firmware, and 99.9% of the time the most exotic data structure we touch is a linked list CS still comes in handy though, especially computer engineering to understand some of the workings of the hardware Occasionally I'll use

I read a lot of cool stuff about this guy in the book "Opening the Xbox" by Dean Takahashi[1] and on Alex St. John's blog (which is unfortunately offline now) He sounded like every bit as great a programmer as John Carmack or

you can just point a phone camera at the keyboard and screen, record a video clip, blow it up into stills with ffmpeg, and then count frames Even at 60fps, you should be able to see the difference between 30ms and 100ms. Newer phone camera

Isn't telling people about this sort of backdoor the sort of thing that could cause you to commit suicide with multiple gunshot wounds to the back of your head? I don't think any anecdotal evidence one way or the other is worth c

yeah, I hate Uber and Lyft more than most, but I have to admit that you're totally right about it being an unambiguous upgrade over taxi service I used to get super angry every time I had to take a taxi in the Bay Area. Before I got i

I loved the UX on it too, but the crappy locked-down web browser killed it for me.. I don't even use apps, but since I couldn't load Firefox with uBlock on there, and there weren't any single-purpose apps, it was really rough

I'll bet you could set up an actual marketplace with automated matchmaking it probably wouldn't be as good as Uber/Lyft can make things by forcing "contractors" to take unprofitable rides, though

FWIW I never heard of that either, despite living in Japan on and off for a couple of years, marrying a Japanese woman, and being decent at Japanese My guess is that it's just a 1960s meme that's fallen out of use Actually, I&#x27

Yeah, we get it. If the Roku won't work without a Roku account, then forget it, someone else can make a generic TV set top box device My YubiKey works just fine without an RSA account, go figure

You're making a good point, but it basically boils down to "Companies' leaders are smart and generally make good, well-researched decisions" So many great companies fall apart because that is just not true at all.

How could it ever be a reason? Saving $1000's worth of rent by making your $25,000/month employee half as productive sounds insane at first glance but the trick is that the management chain "saving money" and the manage

Adblockers will require you to "jailbreak" your device and their installation/use will be against numerous terms of service agreements. Maybe they won't be illegal though, who knows

Is there some trick to that thing? Whenever I use a trackpad all day, I get horrible finger pain. The only other activity that's as hard on my fingers as heavy trackpad use is playing Guitar Hero on a high difficulty setting (presuma
