When I see something like this I wonder if there are people out there who actually go chapter-by-chapter from start to finish, spending dozens of hours learning the content a random GitHub repo claimed was important.

I wouldn't call this working, civil rights aren't doing as well as they were 10 years ago (just as one example). American society has taken multiple large steps backwards precisely because people have been convinced to vote agains

A gamble vs. gambling; English is weird, the former means a general risk/reward bet, whereas the latter means to take undue risk for entertainment purposes. Buying individual stocks is the act of taking unknown risk for entertainment p

It's funny sometimes seeing what people reveal about themselves unintentionally when they rail against something; if the news is all of those bad things for you, then you're not working very hard to understand it. "News"

Learning for the first time what the issues are (or who the people are) to be voted on day-of is a great way to get manipulated.

If I concede the fact that I enjoy knowing what's going on around me, does that make it less bad for me? This article (and these comments) seem to be focusing on some kind of "value", but to me the knowledge is the end, n

Er, individual stock trading is gambling, not investing.

Sure fine, whatever, but this is only possible because you rely on others to prop you up. Obviously this attitude and behavior wouldn't work at scale.

I've had an account for months. It is not "public", it's in private beta.

No prob, the fact that you’re into these kinds of things already puts you ahead of the pack.

Let’s hope they’re better at taking feedback than you are on their behalf.

by Zetice 3y ago
I give you this feedback with respect and to help you become a better writer, because I believe you are capable of substantially more: This was not a high quality piece of writing. It doesn’t appear as if you spent any time at all learning

I think your comment is an underappreciated one. The article, to me, seems exceedingly preferential to the "tortured/overworked genius" method of innovation, and by now I'm personally tired of seeing that trope fall on i

I think it's rarely this simple, speaking as someone who actively self sabotaged through my first aborted attempt at college in a much less prestigious institution than Harvard. Maybe that's what's at the root of it, but it

Bluesky doesn't function at all, it's not public yet, over and over again the people working on it repeat this fact.

I'm not sure what to make of this actual submission; > A problem with the system of having a domain as a username is that people can claim it who don’t have access to that username. That was a bug, and is not generally speaking, the

Why does this constantly come up as some kind of gotcha? The protocol is under active development, and Bluesky serves as a reference implementation.

by Zetice 3y ago
That's no the issue, the issue is if the code you can't access or control uses `instanceof`. If the only problem was you needed to avoid `instanceof` in tests, this wouldn't matter at all.

That would have to happen soon, and if it did, you'd be right. The vision of a decentralized social web would die again, and one billionaire would make another even richer. Some moaning would be had on the Internet, but the world wou

The guarantee is that the AT protocol doesn’t work that way. They literally could not, technically. You own your data, the entire protocol is built around that basic fact.

> This means that the instanceof operator will not work as expected, and it will generate false negatives! But this isn’t a silent failure, so it’s obviously detectable and therefore (if you know why) avoidable. It’s also so rare that y

Consider that every Fortune 100 company has a DEI initiative and some kind of DEI officer (dedicated, full-time role). There are so many benefits to diversity, that it's ubiquitous at the top companies. I won't really be able

This is a big part of it; someone I know didn't even apply to HBS and kind of regrets not trying because they didn't at the time realize the scope of that network. She ended up at Kellogg so still got a strong network, but Harvard

You may cheer for affirmative action's demise, but it will result in less opportunity for minorities, and less diversity in post-secondary institutions (which means less diversity in fields requiring advanced degrees) so consider tha

I would lean more towards "just a brand" IMO; would love to hear from grads though on if the actual education itself has prepared them for life in ways few other schools could. I imagine it's of some quality, if for no ot
