I could see developers ditching GitHub with the acquisition for a perceived conflict of interest. It's really easy to change your remote. I see a potentially big market opportunity for anyone who wants to compete in the space now.

I'm sure the article is a nice read, but I think you summarized it quite well. Gotta take the initiative on things.

As someone who has coded for 5+ years, and who occasionally speaks with people curious about coding, I enjoyed reading this because it gave me fresh perspective to approaching these conversations. Some of the concepts in the article, like l

A whitelist sounds like it would be far easier to maintain, though each user would be on the hook for that. No more cat-and-mouse that you'd have with the blacklisting approach, at least.

How does this work if you get something like a W2, which is issued for the calendar year? Let's say your "personal" tax year starts and ends July 1 of each year. Are you supposed to split your W2 in half and count each for ea

Why does a legacy matter when you're dead? You won't be around to know if you truly are a legacy. Sure, Zuckerberg has a hospital but who knows what civilization will remember of him in 500 years. To rationalize it my own mind, he

Facebook isn't solving a real-world problem. Before Messenger, I could have easily just kept in touch with those I care about via text message. Without the ad targeting, echo chambers, and anxiety that social platforms create with &quo

Males in the USA have an 81% chance of living to age 65 [1]. I think it makes sense to take care of yourself. Of course, allow yourself the occasional indulgence. Your habits of your 20s and 30s could significantly impact your 40s and 50s.

Yikes, that management fee is terrible. Not for me, no siree. (Google how annual fees can drag a portfolio if you are unsure).

Yeah, but whoever is first to market on driverless (e.g., Tesla) has already said they will have a separate network for letting others use your Tesla to subsidize your ownership cost. Aka, your Tesla won't be a part of Uber's driv

In my opinion, 3200 sq ft is more than plenty for a single family (2-4 people).

Aren't there many more general software developers than there are VP's, founders, and low digit employee exiters? Like, I'm curious what drives the demand for homes in the ~$2M range in the bay area, if it's not the gene

Yeah, but it's hard to say whether the transaction to the new address was done by a fraudster or the exchange. They can claim their private key was stolen, and it wasn't the exchange's owner, but we have no way of knowing for

The point I was trying to make was, if advertiser's increased profits were less than the expense of advertising (e.g., a company spends $20 on advertising, but profits grow $10), then they the company would not advertise again, since t

They must be working for others. If businesses couldn't profit off of advertising, then they wouldn't do it.

So are you saying -- all else equal -- that if your webpage can respond just as quickly as an AMP one, that your search rank won't be docked? E.g., your site is just as performant as AMP, but you're not using AMP.

Are there that many people in rent-controlled apartments for this to be a serious enough issue or cause of traffic?

These risks make it obvious why an "at home" solution is highly unlikely to come to fruition. You want to be putting enterprise-grade things into your eye. The only way you'd be able to guarantee that is to source the treatme

Thank you for calling out a potential replacement service. Building iOS apps is certainly tricky (can't get Mac OS into the cloud easily), so these free-tier CICD services really are great for those creating new, smaller apps and are g

It's another reason to not do business with smaller companies. Especially if their idea is good, you can only wonder, when will they be bought out and my workflow will be (temporarily) disrupted? I think Buddybuild was the only service

Yeah, but you don't own that other property. Other people do, and they should be able to do as they please with it, so long as it meets zoning regulations. I don't think a concept of a fractional ownership exists because, well, it

You should double down on your 401(k) contributions today to better your odds for a comfortable retirement. I wouldn't let expected market returns impact the amount you feel is appropriate to save/invest today.

The max FICA (Social Security) tax in 2017 was $7,886.40, which equates to an income of $127,200 (it's a 6.2% tax). There are many people making below that threshold, and not even paying that much. You can't live very comfortably

So they can pay to show the ads to job seekers 40+ but not hire them. Facebook makes more money, and they get to say they did some social good. Seems like they should be advocating (at least in this use case) to stop the discrimination to i

It wasn't a part of the numbered list of things. The author didn't even treat it as a first-class thing to be talking about when considering "trouble hiring developers".

Compensation seems to be surprisingly missing from this list. If I work at a FANG company, and you're just getting started, chances are you won't be able to compete nearly as well as compensation. That's not to say that compe

I'll provide my two cents, in the case of group activities. It seems awfully convenient to have a single site (e.g., meetup) for, say, if I'm traveling to a new city and looking for something to do. It'd seem like an unnecess
