   I'm not sure you understand their business model if you think they made the decision based off of privacy.

   The ability to stay with a problem for a long time. I think some folks will see something they don't understand and just disengage with it, but a lot of successful programmers that I've seen will continue to think about situations

   I love the term "cord cutter" as if the Internet connection that plays their new media is somehow a different cord than the cord that their cable TV came in through.

   I'm guessing they'll start using File Coin for storage as soon as it's ready, but yeah I think you're correct.

    I've had this same thought for a while now, anti-trust is completely tangential to the current situation; we need new laws. I'm just worried that the new laws are generalizable enough to serve their purpose without creating loopho

    Folks are always talking about whether tech companies are monopolies or not, and I just don't think we're using the right vocabulary. Why not just create a new legal definition of a platform and create regulations that rein in the

    I thought the opposite: It campaigns against vitamin D as if it were a wolf in sheep's clothes. I've seen the author (and her partner) post and link about the dangers of vitamin D for a while now and it seems very unscientific to

    Is there much of a difference between programming a bot to spew propaganda and paying a person to spew propaganda?

    The answer for contract software engineering is: "Technically, but not really". You interview, then they offer you a job/ contract which pays a certain hourly amount, and you can accept/decline/counter offer just li

    Here's a summary that combines the two sections: She has a manager who (apparently) has a low tolerance for risk. He probably got to where he is by spinning situations so that it's not his fault. He was upset that she contacted th

    Agreed. I think that being a great engineer in a big company has more to do with being at least moderately competent and being able to build political capital and drive change in a bureaucracy. Many of the higher-ranking engineers I've

    If we're using an autoimmune disease as the metaphor, may I suggest steroids as the analog to deplatforming instead of antibiotics?

    This. When I travelled to Vietnam I was shocked to find out access to Facebook was free (unlike the data plans, which seemed expensive to me and therefore likely out of reach for most of the folks there. It was really nice to be able to com

    I've used YouTube to learn a tremendous amount from programming to home improvement and beyond. I wouldn't consider it essential to my life, but I would certainly be worse off if I didn't have it.

    Agreed. They probably maintained the term "recommended reading list" since people are used to it instead of inventing a new term like "recommended media" that wouldn't make for an exciting headline.

    Maybe, but social pecking order will always be a scarce resource, so I think we're going to be on this track for a long time.

    It bothers me that they're intertwining a subscription model for something that shouldn't need a subscription (steering wheel heaters). If the car came with one, it should just be available. Adding this layer of abstraction compli

    The limitation of 2 buy-sell transactions and no overlapping buy-sell transactions are orthogonal. My solution listed 3 buy-sell transactions, but none of them are overlapping. Edit: I see now that it says "two no[sic] overlapping&quot

    Maybe I'm missing something, but none of the solutions given seem to offer optimal strategies, and the optimal solution appears to be pretty trivial. For example, the first price list given is [7, 3, 13, 13, 6, 19, 10, 8, 15, 18], why

    There's always https://www.terraform.io/ to guard against vendor lock-in, but then you're still stuck with another vendor if you decide to switch.

    Small nit: Potential hackers would only have access to your email, provider id and whatever other details they pass along (preferred name, profile picture URL, etc.). Social login doesn't provide consumers (AnyList in this case) with y

    It looks like they're looking at initial "problems" which are pretty broadly defined. Those can be complete failure to drive, to what they perceive to be a confusing interface with no weighting to them[0]. It also looks at a

    My sentiment exactly. The only acceptable situation to bring in a UX person on board after the product has already been mostly built is to clean up visual elements (consistent spacing, fixing color creep, choosing a font, etc.). The larger-
