Speaking as someone who lives adjacent to Bessemer but who does not work at Amazon, you need to understand that Bessemer is a dying city, a slum. These were the best paying jobs that many of these workers had had in their entire lives, it i

Haha I was wrong, I see what you were saying now. I thought you were saying that resistance == unaffected. But you were saying that the price of real estate rises when inflation occurs, so buy it before inflation happens. My bad. :)

Home prices in my area are up around 15% over the past year.

Real estate has clearly been shown to not be resistant to inflation over the past year.

There is no shame in being an average or below average software engineer. I would know, I am one myself. The key is to remember that we have one of the best jobs in human history. You get paid an incredible amount of money, you can work fro

That's a good point that it is more nuanced. The issue I think is that organized crime and unscrupulous governments are getting better at connecting these things so they are not as cleanly separated as they have been in the past. Just

A fingerprint can be a personal password or it can be a government ID, but it can’t be both. Since the U.S. government already has something like 200 million fingerprints on file, and many foreign governments collect fingerprints whenever y

This is stupid. Why not give people a way to actually say thanks without cluttering up the comments? A real thank you written by a human is much more touching and encouraging than a clapping icon with a counter on it. The article starts wit

Tuxedos aren't cheap, but the coolest thing about them is they have a way to preinstall Linux and setup full disk encryption with LUKS and you just set the encryption key when you first turn on the machine. Never seen anyone else offer

I think System76, Lenovo, or Tuxedo is a better choice than Dell XPS for Linux from a reliability standpoint. Additionally, if you plan to do full disk encryption, the XPS line has all sorts of issues. https://www.dell.com/c

It's really too bad that the two rising tech countries - China and India - have such a third-world approach to censorship on the Internet. You would think they would want to mimic the US's successful formula in hopes of building t

I think what happened was that the initial doctors who identified the coronavirus cases were told to keep silent by the authorities and hospital. Li happened to see some of these reports and he notified other doctors in the WeChat group. So

That's a great point. One of my favorite games, Enter the Gungeon, had plans for a major release of DLC, but they canned it and replaced it with a much smaller scope of free updates because they had so much technical debt that they cou
