> Discrimination is particularly flagrant in Silicon Valley, where women hold just 5 percent of leadership positions. This is particularly inflammatory. Just because women hold 5% of leadership positions, it doesn’t mean discrimination i

I hate when these articles cite “outrage” by linking a tweet with 6 likes. I wish journalists had an ethics board that banned outlets from trying to stir up controversy like this.

I’d be happy with it if it could drive me from my apartment in Menlo Park to downtown Palo Alto.

Falling asleep that early is unnatural and very difficult at that age. I recall many nights trying to go to sleep early and lying in bed, stressing about not being able to sleep (making it even harder to sleep).

Anyone else worried about the noise pollution that will result from widespread drone delivery services and “flying cars”? I’m thinking the pushback won’t happen until there’s enough penetration that wealthy interest groups will make it impo

I don’t think it makes sense not to sell your stock from a portfolio theory standpoint.

I have a theory that women don’t like to negotiate because they think negotiating requires them to be tough and mean. But really, if you’re affable and charismatic when trying to make a deal, which should come more naturally to most women,

I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla got a lot of orders for panels and batteries this week.

I was once riding in a cab, ranting about how private cars should be banned in NYC, and the driver spoke up and said that no one who drives in the city wants to drive there—they do it because they have to. They do it because many neighbor

Seems spurious. Could be talented people move to cities with high earning potential—which happen to be walkable. Do the authors control for that?

That’s the worst example you could’ve used. Pro sports leagues are monopolies with a large percentage of potential players/workers being left out of the market.

If a tech company I worked for unionized, I would leave. I’m not in a single company town where everyone has worked at the same place their entire lives. Tech companies face fierce competition for talent, and it has worked out quite nicely

Inequality is usually only looked at at the national level. But it should be looked at at the international level. For the decades following WWII, Americans didn’t have to compete with much of the world. Those economies were closed off and

In reality, dating sites/apps are really first date apps (even when they're being honest, not like here). I would like to see a start up that will connect you to someone, but their business model is around keeping you connected. S

> Smart devs will just opt not to use hooks Couldn’t disagree with you more here. Smart devs use smart abstractions. Hooks is a smart abstraction because 1) classes and inheritance don’t belong in JS, 2) they allow for more code reuse, 3

Definitely not a novel point. Nor particularly accurate anymore as other commentators have pointed out.

Summary: this guy doesn’t like hooks because he doesn’t like learning new stuff and he wants to throw out React because it changed a little bit. Doesn’t mention the benefits of framework changes or rationale behind them. Definitely garbage

Why are American companies so afraid of their employees unionizing? Because American unions have a history of creating an adversarial relationship between managers and employees. They’re self serving and have a zero sum game outlook where t
