I strongly agree with this. It irks me that doctors often prescribe drugs first without seeking to find the root cause of a problem. But I guess such is the culture these days. People want a quick fix without being told to change their life

Elon Musk's companies are this way. Getting shit done, innovating, disregarding established ways of doing things to innovate, lower costs, and release products. If you want to feel like you are breaking ground, and not being held back

TSA is generally a joke. Do you think anyone who is seriously attempting something would be dumb enough to get caught by TSA. Sure it might catch a few loonies who have voices telling them to blow up their shoes, but the TSA won't stop

Ask to do more work? Maybe they are not aware that you are just hanging out. And if your manager doesn't do anything about it, it's a management problem, so go above him and say "Hey, I need more work. I complete everything,

Mostly because every single transaction would be annoying and I would end up ignoring the notifications. I have >$100 notifications on some cards, but forgot to add them to others. And honestly it happens so rarely, I review my statement

Cycling, Photography, Backpacking, Mountaineering, Cooking and Bread Baking. I'm actually surprised others here bake bread. I assumed it was pretty rare.

I once had some fraudulent charges made on a credit card I own. I was initially tipped off because a limo company sent a confirmation text to let me know they would be picking me up in Texas (I was in California). Interestingly, the text in

I thought the same thing. This topic would make for an entertaining movie.

I hand write my notes, because often times I want to sketch something out, draw a diagram, draw a graph, or simply illustrate some interaction between things. I keep an ipad with me all the time. I have a "daily note" notebook whe

I get the vibe the Zuckerberg and Facebook don't really know what to do about the news situation. I find their promises of "we promise to only feed you real news" dishonest. Isn't the whole premise behind news that it&#x

What's the tech behind this? Are these GMO dairy cows that do not produce the protein?

I'm a huge fan of this. But it relies on your co-workers having commons sense, the ability to logically reason, and to have the ability to judge priorities on their own. This is how a company should operate. Where everyone is on the sa

High tide happens twice a day so I agree with the old man ;) I get what you are saying though, and I don't think that it's dumb to try to make progress and help people. I am just pointing out how irrational the world is and how ma

I got the fuji x-pro2 for this reason. I used to carry a bunch of canon gear... till I stopped bringing it anywhere because it was too heavy. I traded it all in for a fuji, and 2 small primes, and I bring that camera everywhere.

I don't get why people think that this is apple's problem. Do a better job of parenting. Have some self discipline. There are so many products in this world that take advantage of our biology. The iPhone is just one. And it's

My family is from Warsaw Poland. There are so many ways in which the war affected my family. On one side of my mom's family, I had a great grandmother who was a covert operative for the Polish underground resistance. She carried inform

That's an odd position to take.... If there was nothing special about the code you worked on, then the product is probably not all that significant. I mean, why work on something if there is no technology differentiating you?

hmm... I don't know if this would ever be worth the money. Any real engineering outfit knows that the value in code reviews isn't just in uncovering syntactic or logical flaws, but actual engineering decisions. And part of the evo

I do this too. But i think for me, its that I get to a point where I have a really good understanding of something, but realize that spending incremental time on even more expertise on the subject has only marginal returns. Like if I alread

I see some parallels in what you said with myself. But I think for me it comes down to opportunity cost. It's not that I actively seek to do things that are harder. But I feel like if I'm going to spend the time doing something, i

I'd ask Mark to solve a Captcha. All jokes aside though, I feel like the senators should have been briefed by technology experts on the current industry practices and the capabilities and risks of current internet technology. The quest

I think you can get by taking Andrew Ng's Coursera course on machine learning. It will give you a decent understanding of the technologies out there to the point where you can converse on the topics, and I think having the flexibility

Why don't you ask/survey the people who will be using the office/tools? What we did: Determined a budget, and let each employee choose their machines, accessories, monitors, etc as long as they remained within the budget. Jus

An honest timeline feed. Not this "curated" mumbo jumbo. I don't like the notion that I can be manipulated, by the social network itself, or 3rd party advertisers. Keeps ads out of the feed, and populate the front page as con

Have you seen farm raised chickens and cows? I would argue that there is nothing natural about that either. The modern farm animal wouldn't survive in the wild. They are bred to grow at insane rates, are fed hormones, and get too heavy

I think it comes down to progress. Most of the meat we consume has a heavy toll on the environment. And with many other countries developing, gaining wealth and having the purchasing power to consume meat regularly, it's going to be a
