I would bet a lot of money I already know the pitch. It's the same one that the Confluence PM I'm sure made. "We have done very well selling to technical programmers and hip startups, but the market is so much bigger. shows

I have one tooth that has pain in it because one dentist convinced me to drill it even though it wasn't causing me issues. I still don't know what scientific evidence there is that doing fillings early is a justifiable procedure r

The tech here is so good I don’t believe it went away. I just think it will exist in secret and only used when they really need to. We will get a snowden style leak about it in 10 years.

Google is clearly ultra late game zerg. They are floating minerals, gas, and larvae to remax on a tech switch. This analogy is holding up surprisingly well.

This feels like the “we’re all dead in the long run” version of right.

People say it's impossible to get someone to understand something when their salary depends on them not understanding it. People don't do this conciously. Instead, I think people's worldview naturally changes to be one that b

Why though? What would the wealthy Chinese people that own it want to do with the cash instead? I would think having your investments in a stable country instead of one in chaos would be ideal?

I feel like Amazon is going to bring back custom hardware like this. Imagine if this was an instance type.

The backup camera in my 2010 Tacoma is embedded in to the backup mirror. The usability is nearly perfect because it's right next to where you were looking already and is tremendously useful.

I've known lots of great, kind people that were shy, or scared to be made fun of, or just lacked confidence. "Be yourself" is great advice. It means, I know you and you are a great person, you just need to be yourself. No one

I disagree. The loopholes are not from the progressive part of the tax code, so making it a flat rate doesn't simplify anything. I assume you are talking about a flat tax, which is a personal income tax only, but event still that is di

People believe that security is like salt. Just sprinkle it on top and it somehow makes the whole thing better.

Does my phone know if the caller ID is STIR/SHAKEN certified? I can already send numbers that are not in my caller ID to my voicemail directly. I would love to be able to do this for the unverified callerId numbers. Maybe if enough peo

This is really bad because I've stopped ordering from Amazon because of the counterfeit problem. I would be so mad if I paid extra to order direct from the manufacturer and have Amazon bring it to me. Now I have the counterfeit problem

I recently discovered some really bad effects from Amazon third party sellers. For a lot of item, 3rd party sellers are listing inventory they don't actually have. I think what is happening is that if they are out of an item the listed

I feel like this is nearly perfect if you automatically hand count statistically interesting number of boxes before certifying an election. If you hand count 1% randomly, you should feel pretty confident that nothing strange happened.

I call them myths because it's not important if it's literally true, just that if the executives believe it's true, then they make the right choice. For example, if you have a home grown internal tool, like a database or a me

I've come to believe that modern type systems are not primarily about types. They are mostly useful static code analysers. Sometimes you can use them to optimize the machine code generated by the compiler, but they are much more about

This whole thing reeks of the CTO selling a story to the non-technical CEO. I'm not saying it's not useful to the company, but companies build strange internal myths about obscure tech choices.

It seems like a bad argument to me. Companies have multiple revenue streams for things all the time. "double charging" is a slogan, not an argument.

I think it has pros and cons but in the end, I'm slightly opposed to net neutrality and I'll share my reasons. I think the internet is more complicated than water and electricity and writing regulations that actually regulate just

I watched the original expose video of this and I found the comments be disturbing, but I don't expect any platform to perfectly prevent comments. The more damning part for YouTube was how the recommendation engine was clustering the v

Have you thought about requesting to change the number of your house to one that doesn't exist on the other side of town? That is usually much easier and cheaper than changing the street name.

The only argument I have heard is that it was useful for prosecuting property where no owner will claim it, or the owner is unavailable for prosecution because they are not in the country. Imagine a drug cartel shipped a large pile of cash

I would love for someone to share an example of a good software patent. I have yet to encounter one. The only things I have encountered that match my idea of a patentable idea are algorithms, which are not patentable. I have yet to encounte

I think the actual game is much harsher than this. You play as the main character and the game is really just about expanding the factory for the sake of expanding the factory. It serves no purpose other than making the factory bigger. You

because printing a document, signing it with a pen, taking a photo of it, and emailing it back is a thing rich investors keep having to do.

I'm pretty sure /r/the_donald started out as a joke and slowly turned real at some point. I still don't quite understand what happened. It would make an interesting investigation.
