Sorry, I must be ignorant of some facts. What am I missing? I haven't seen anything from Thiel that would be lead me to believe he is anti-gay. It seems quite the contrary to me. He even said in his Republican speech that he was ga

I'm not sure I follow. Any political view usually affects all people in any room. Are you referring to Trump's bigotry? Sure, I'll admit, he is definitely a character in that regard. But again there's realistically on

Sure, but that's a consequence of a 2 party system and choosing the lesser evil, isn't it? He's both Libertarian and gay, both are extremely socially liberal. Why do you say he is socially conservative? I'm not seeing

by bcheung 10y ago
To take his support of the Republican party to mean that he is against non-white, non-males is dishonest and straw man. If you have some evidence then present it. Thiel is both Libertarian and gay. Clearly he doesn't support everyth

Thiel is both Libertarian and gay. It's unlikely he is supportive of Trump's / Republican's bigotry, but more an issue of practicality since he doesn't like the alternative. I also find it ironic that something cal

He's more Libertarian than right-wing. I'm surprised of the endorsement because I wouldn't consider Trump even close to Libertarian. But I guess he is a lot closer than Hillary.

Haha, I like how you added just one porn tube site so that you can add NSFW in the title. Nice click baiting. lol

<C-c> works likes escape almost all the time. Mapping the caps lock key to Ctrl makes hitting <C-c> super easy. I usually use that instead of escape. In general I would agree 1 character at a time is an anti-pattern but it nee

Yeah, there's also that the naming convention has changed formats so many times in the last few years too. People need to see repeated pattern for it to sink in.

Hang in there. I started programming when I was 7 and by the time I was 18 I had lots of programming experience but nobody would hire me because I didn't have a degree or previous work experience. I had to do a lot of QA and support

One thing I have noticed over the years is that the front end community is becoming more and more a "let me google how to do it" kind of community. The tooling ecosystem is so burdensome. Just to get a hello world app with React

This looks pretty interesting. Are there any libraries / plans that use this with React?

In terms of tax dollars, I'm disappointed that I had to pay for this to begin with. It's a waste of money. I highly doubt Palantir did any kind discrimination based on race. The initial demographics of the founders and the early

I should have clarified. Yes, increasing supply satisfies some demand and brings down prices. My point was that demand is so much higher than supply that the market value is still much higher than the intrinsic value. Saying you can buil

Even if they do make houses for $50K, there is a huge demand so prices will still rise well above those prices. Both government and local home owners don't want more housing. Nobody who already owns a home wants more built because it

Nice work! As far as other ideas, morphing from one photo to the next one. Making changes (morphing shapes, changing colors, adding / removing shapes) would look interesting.

Self taught. Started programming at the age of 7. It was a programming book designed for kids. It taught BASIC on the Commodore 64. I later went to learn assembly at age 11 because I was interested in video game development and assembly

If you're already making the kind of money an MBA would doesn't seem like it makes a lot of sense. What's the point of paying lots of money and spending all that time to make the same as what you are now? You're salary

It didn't sound like that was ruled out. If the other city wanted to contract with them it would probably be possible.

One thing to point out that I think people are missing is that the ruling was that a government could not operate a business in a different jurisdiction. It has nothing to do with free market or net neutrality concerns.

The government created this problem in the first place by granting monopolies on drugs. If it allowed others to manufacture it, the price would drop.

This is actually a very surprising statistic to me. I lived in LA and was not happy with the job offerings at all and moved back to the bay area where I'm originally from. I'm also surprised that San Jose has 2x the concentration

Using squaponics seems like an ideal solution. Food can be grown in a greenhouse to minimize evaporation. Water doesn't escape into the soil, and it can be done pretty much anywhere, this leading to less fuel consumption and transpor

This might be of interest to you. It never went anywhere because of costs and environmental concerns. But I have a feeling it may get more attention as water becomes more of a problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No

Very cool. The syntax is a bit verbose though. What about expressing it as a tree based data structure?
