Where in Somerville (if you don't mind my asking)? I used to live there and never knew a place like that!

The most important thing is to stick with the same technologies and become an expert in them.

Well I guess we have philosophical differences, but if I could hypothetically prevent every person in the world from winning every contest, it would be very funny and exciting to me.

It sounds like the bot could be made (slightly?) more intelligent, to avoid entering contests that you're certainly not eligible to. Why? It's better to win everything possible to prevent other people from winning them.

No, they don't. Last time I checked, the terms state that Apple doesn't take a cut for any offline service or products. To answer your second question, your app could be shut down at any time if Apple finds out you are skirting th

The issue with not working is that if you have habitual activities during retirement (other than watching tv), those activities become indistinguishable from work. So you might as well just work. I'm only 28 but that's how I see i

I disagree. They're expensive because there's not enough high rises that would provide tons more housing space.

True but paying people more than necessary in a lot of ways contradicts his role as CEO.

by a3voices 11y ago
Well liberals often favor regulations and licenses for everything, and these prevent or delay new housing from being constructed.

I don't see why the CEO feels the need to fix problems with capitalism instead of just doing what's best for the company.

Also some people like to work mainly for lifestyle reasons, not for some greater purpose.

I'm just happy that other people are as fascinated by Tom Bombadil as I've always been.

It's engineering, but the act of creating it is like an art.

Thoroughly disturbing article since it reminds me that my parents will die one day. And I will have to experience it most likely. Ugh. I f*ing hate the future.

There's a much greater market need for Facebook than Twitter. It's very surprising to me that Twitter got as big as it did.

My strategy was to tell them something like "First I'm going to interview at all the companies that don't require take home assignments, and then I'll get back to you if I don't have a job by then".

It's still a problem if your social world, project goals, skill-set goals, personal finances, or daily routines go into turmoil because some executive or middle manager decided to let you go for whatever reason. Even if it never happen

Well making it illegal is less humane to business owners and goes against the concept of property rights. Who owns your business and sets policy, you or the government? Tenure might make business sense because it would give employees a grea

by a3voices 11y ago
Well certainly it's in the back of a lot of people's minds. Performance reviews, stack ranking, layoffs to maximize corporate profit, and such. Tenure would be a huge incentive for people to work and stay employed there. I suppose

I realize this is controversial and might not make business sense, but one humane policy would be to give your senior developers tenure and then never fire them for any reason. It would greatly reduce their stress levels. Also it would redu

I wish I could see the statistics on how many successful founders have successful parents.

Not necessarily. If the culture sucks, then democracy results in something like Iran.

Unless the democratic DPRK uses more terrorism against us.

Could you understand hunting humans to eat them? If a child decided to ruin your flowerbed, should it be ok to shoot the child? The evolutionary gap between lions and humans is only in the tens of millions of years. In my opinion, it should

Mandatory in what sense? Most people get by without having to code anything more complex than an Excel formula.

But how will your algorithm negotiate with the governments of countries to put cables through their borders at specific points.

The hungry are being fed without disruptive change. The world currently has the lowest poverty rates in all of human history.

Look just finish a project, it doesn't matter what it is, and it'll resolve a lot the issues you're fighting with.

People are way too oversensitive. Reminds me of Muslims getting upset over cartoon drawings of their prophet.
