Partly as a joke, I've started wanting to ask the question, "Will I be reporting to an MBA?"

It's also the same thing with the git commit tree. You see commit IDs change when you rebase because of the parent pointers.

I always read these posts as all or nothing, so forgive me if that's not what you mean. Why not take a smaller chunk of a portfolio, say 2%, and invest in crypto? That way you can get potentially huge gains with little at risk.

The last I saw Kong didn't support microcache, which is one of the best nginx features IMHO.

I hate JIRA, but I noticed something. If I tell people to do something, they won't do it. If I create a ticket in JIRA it has a much higher probability of getting done. It's not been too bad, after I got over the hate of not ha

We had to do it, but it had nothing to do performance. Massive team dysfunction and differing skill sets made it so 3 or 4 people were working on our monolith and not very effective in getting things done. We had another 5 that were very

Most people jump on the fanboyism of Tesla spouting nonsense like, "electric cars don't require maintenance." Seems like everyone believes this and rightly expected them to work. There are enough negatives with them being EV

Most of the safe wingsuit flights are in national parks. The Perrine is fun but it's not a 3000 ft mountain with waterfall views on the way down.

Met billionaires, actors, famous people. Saw places I'd never have seen that are some of the most beautiful on Earth, and even got married at one of them. Talking about all the things around the experience. In fact most of the reason

Eight or nine years ago, I lept off a tower from about 800 ft. After opening the parachute and scanning for my landing area I turned towards it to the left, which was slow and felt off. "Maybe I'll turn to the right and come aro

Pilot training only focuses on instruments during IFR training. Private pilot and most VFR is done without emphasis on instruments. Aerobatics rely on senses and no instruments. Source: Skydiver, BASE jumper, paraglider, aerobatic airplane

It is in the land of the free. It's generally not banned in Europe, so most BASE jumpers who are active spend at least a few weeks a year there. About 10 to 20 die world wide in about a population of 1000 or so active jumpers. It can

It's a challenge mentally? Overcome fear see different places, have different experiences? I've been skydiving and base jumping longer than I've not been and it's led me to some of the most rewarding experiences of my l

Occasionally a single person will die in a year. As opposed to almost 20 fatalities in a much smaller population of wingsuit BASE jumpers every year.

Writers on free speech thought social pressure was a more effective censor than the government: Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it

This is also dangerous for clear reasons. If speech deemed bad is censored we may have no examples with which to contrast good ideas. Think of free speech as natural selection for ideas. John Stuart Mill thought free speech should extend

Generally I send $10s, then maybe $100s, and if all goes well I may do $1000s if they are still around in a few years. Risk management 101.

Why not Neo? Seems like the hottest one to support right now. Would probably test it out if you get that working :)

I definitely don't follow the logic that they won't be on the street. If they run out of money they'll be evicted whether it comes from a job or the UBI.

By some estimates we have 20 million opiate addicts. What happens when the opiate addict runs out of his basic income on day 5 of a 31 day month?

By deduction they make about a million USD in fees a day. A startup making real cash along with huge growth potential. Seems valid.

I did the opposite in 2011. Got tired of having nothing to do but go to bars and restaurants. Enjoying the LA life of having a beach and nice hiking at my door. Lots of diverse industries that need tech talent as well as a startup scene.

A lot more people die from heroin than die from cocaine. In fact most cocaine overdoses stem from mixing with heroin.

You're parroting Tesla's Marketing. Any mechanical product with 1000s and 1000s of parts made by complex machines also, with 1000s of ways to make mistakes is going to have lots of opportunity for problems that need fixing.
