The word is, Zuck is going through his midlife crisis (42 yo) and wants a tougher, more driven, and more masculine environment. Zuck has been pro-Trump for a while, and palling around with MMA guys. He's also open to importing 996 cult

I was a contractor at Cisco as the only non-indian in my group. But, I think the entire floor (100+ people) was Indian except for me. I'd always heard of "toxic work environments" but was pretty dismissive, until working at C

Every damn time. The debate used to be idea vs. implementation. Today, it's all about implementation vs. audience/distribution. You can have 50 different people sell the exact same thing with wildly different outcomes. You can get

I was following it pretty closely for anthropological reasons. There wasn't a single clear photo of a drone, just planes and helicopters, over the most densely populated area in the country. It was the same as UFOs. Not one clear photo

These apps never worked for me at my gym. The app successfully (it seemed) scanned my barcode on my gym card, but the gym's scanner never was able to pick it up from my phone's screen at max brightness, adjusting zoom etc.

Joby actually claims their business is viable without significant advances in battery energy density. We'll see. I think this will be closer to an Eclipse Aviation business case than SpaceX.

Drones killing drones. No lives at stake any more. Like burning piles of money on the sidelines until one side runs out.

Many factors in this. Heat islands from urbanization in Kyoto, different species bred for earlier blooming, etc.

What about funding political causes with hundreds of millions of dollars? Same thing?

Yeah this is annoying. Ten years ago hearing of Google cofounder turning right wing would sound like hell freezing over. I think this is deeply interesting to see how tech has been captured by big money politics like every other industry.

Naming software has gotten so much worse. We're just at full on random words now. Looking forward to next project management software called "Dumbbell" or something.

The guy probably owns like 4,000 of these plugins and has factored in that 5% will get caught per year and makes bank from the rest of them.

I think it's good. I've definitely seen resource inflation exactly that OP is alluding to in enterprise. A desire to have some huge cloud based solution with AWS, spark bla bla when a python script with pandas in a cron job was fa

Is there any quick test I can do to see if I can innately determine tones like this? If I fail said test, I can know that I'm not cut out for guitar.
