The united states is, on balance, a rather stupid country. We re-elected a dolt that invaded Iraq on the premise they caused 911 when they obviously didnt. That said, China poses a unique threat: a panopticon, freedom supressing government,

Probably many undocumented due to the secretive nature of their government. The threat China poses far outweighs any good they've accomplished recently. Old, unaccountable men with absolute power and surveillance of over 20 percent of

China is a horrific, authoritarian monster. I hope this century sees their vision checked and reduced back to the edges of humanity.

There's nothing particularly special about SV VCs /programmers. Just a crapload of capital allocated there. Programmers are abundant throughout the country.

Same. Started off in love w FPGA design in college. Software design is light-years ahead of that area in terms of tool maturity, functionality and freedom.

Posts like this make me so glad I was directed by market forces out of hardware design into software.

Broadcom is horrible with datasheets. If you're not apple or intel, an f off should be expected in any request for a datasheet from them.

There are certain channels whose content I feel causes societal damage. Namely, Fox news. Id happily pay a buck or two more to ensure not a dime of my bill subsidizes that channel.

Quora is not user friendly. Asking me to login every time to read some answers to marginally interesting questions is not a value proposition to me.

IMO, the dorkier, the cooler.

by aswanson 6y ago
Lol. Thanks for that laugh. Ironically, as you get older, doing something 'dorky' in public and not caring what anyone thinks is a signal of total individualism/self-assurance. Which is cool in my book.

Have class-D amplifiers changed much since that time period?

KiCAD is awesome. That, along with cheap pcb prototyping, has gotten me into designing boards as a hobby.

There are studies out showing that pervasive pornography usage by young males is causing impotence at an incredible rate for their age cohort (teens through 20s). It's literally rewiring their brains to want false stimulation more than

If you think about it, all future database development should be written in Rust.

I'm black, got my license to drive the year Rodney King got assaulted by cops that got exonerated by an all white jury. Glad some of my fellow Americans woke up to my reality.

People focus so much on presidential elections, but the intrusion of freedoms and use of force against the citizen is largely at the municipal and state level.

Awesome mantra. Been through similar circumstances and came up with a similar (though not as explicitly stated) coping mechanism. You come through such trials so much more emotionally resilient. Salute.

Can only speak for myself. Im far more productive without an hour commute, people constantly interrupting me in my cube with trivia, interrupts to explain you can't do X in the code because the repercussions are X^10, etc followed by a

Governments should offer tax incentives to companies for work-from-home. It reduces traffic snarl, pollution, accidents, health issues from sedentary commutes. Its a public policy and environmental win across the board.

States are processing claims in cobol on mainframes from the 1970s. I think you overestimate their data science ops.

I've given up on humans in general being amenable to reason. If an obvious 2-bit incompetent conman can get 40 percent of the population to swear unwavering alliegance, the species has no chance. Dinosaurs lasted far longer, we'r

I don't think education is enough. If people want to believe crazy things, they will. Back when I was on fb, there was an older guy who had a college degree in the classics and was sharing crazy gateway pundit articles and demonic, pr
