Foreign capital influx isn't bad unless the capital that is being traded is bad, which in this case it very likely is. On the direct trade it's a win for both sides, the side with bad money turns it good, and the the side with the

In effect, you're saying that Vancouver has become the laundromat of converting illegitimate capital produced under a shadow banking system into real valuable assets. This is bad for everyone else in our global economic system. It wou

I agree. Having come from the design world, pretty much most design critiques are bike sheds. Should the shed be red? no lets make it google colors instead. Make all sheds google colored because it will improve KPI's! (answer: it wo

Dont ever listen to what people think you should be doing. Just because other people think you work too hard or because they judge you for being too nerdy or w/e the case might be. Who cares (of course they do but... thats a reflec

They clearly believe the benefits they gain from requiring facebook outweighs the benefits of keeping users who will leave. Considering their revenue model, its not a surprise. But that sort of means that they also better believe they can

Yes, but have people met here and spun off a new company from their conversations? There's something significant missing from comment based interactions that exist in IRL interactions.

A lot of people simply can't handle the cognitive dissonance that pangs the mind when they are lower status than they were before. Cognitive dissonance creates undue mental stress until resolved. If one can't resolve it by defla

How so? They are effectively a `<link/>` IRL. I would say the UX is pretty good. I don't know how much easier it can get than pulling out your camera then taking a picture using the camera app.

This is actually a great idea, if a good one doesn't already exist. I only clicked because I've been thinking about what a good one might look like.

Having used hooks to replace my state at some point I couldn't agree more. Application state should not be dependent on components, rather components should be dependent on application state. My recommendation is keep hooks and contex

I found Surfingkeys far more configurable than Vimium. I too looked at the alternatives and think its the best of the bunch. I'll have to try those mappings, seems like good tweaks.

Just adding another opinion to the poll. I think this is an extreme scenario, but it also is a shift towards a new "normal". The inefficiency of commute, and the ease of not traveling to work everyday is a thing many people woul

This is also why I use kitty instead of terminal.app. I just can't get colors working for vim. Otherwise, its surprisingly fast. Much better than iTerm imo.

Even Adobe at some point tried to compete with Word/Excel. Word processing sounds like it would be one of the most crowded markets.

Psychological side effects aside, the economic math really points towards UBI. Current economic strategies really favor constant consumer spending to keep the wheel turning, and one of the best ways to do so is to make sure the bottom laye

Exactly how I see it. Good code builds and compounds on itself. It makes every developer on the team more productive. Its not just about the output of the single "10x" developer. Just having them on your team increases your wh

Yeah this is a big problem, courses shouldn't turn into how to use Excel/Word/Photoshop. I think there is room for those types of courses, but our education system just hasn't caught up with how to integrate technical s

HAHA! Could be just sewn into your pants. Then you could just walk around the hood wearing some AR goggles while you work. Doesn't solve the tendency for your arms to swing in the opposite direction of you legs though.

I almost always use a split keyboard when I'm able to set up a stationary environment. But I love to go mobile: coffee shops, beaches, couch, bar counters. I never forget how to use a normal keyboard, nor do I lose any speed. That m

Just make sure you aren't tithing to the Kenneth Copeland Ministries or other "prosperity gospel" preachers. That money is going straight to their private jets. I could be wrong though, it looks like they might be helping ge

I would love a solid answer as well, but you have to realize most "money" out there is credit and its effectively how our economy works, so you don't necessarily need to make real money to make real money.

This seems to be a complex problem to solve. On one hand you don't want to lose access to the smartest minds, on the other you don't want your citizens to suffer from lower quality education because of it. But its also a very ec

Something I learned with tabbed browsing is that its important to clear the working "memory". One of my most used shortcuts is "close other tabs", and "close tabs to the right". Keeping tabs open should be li

That's an interesting thought. I was running last week along the beach and was thinking about how early primates/hominids might have decided what plants could be eaten and what plants should be avoided when I saw a stalk of grass

This needs more upvotes. Life really should be about what you spend your time doing, not letting it waste away, not living for achievements, nor comparing ourselves to others, others from completely different worlds, but really making the

The cut and paste example is really cool. Its the idea of seamless physical and digital spaces merging that make it compelling. Obviously its a one way street in the phone example, but with AR glasses then it goes in two directions.

Half the "gamers" are on candy crush or supercell mindlessly clicking away, getting pavlovian salivations whenever some chest reward notification rings. With these numbers its an epidemic.

I'm extremely skeptical as well, but the fact that Facebook, Apple, and Google are all dumping tons of money to develop some form of it makes me convinced that its an upcoming market that has the potential to hit big time. Half the stu
