Law, medicine and natural sciences are very different than computer science (plus the latter two are graduate degrees). I'd like to see the same graph but with applied mathematics and physics added.

IMO the author has the entire idea of why people do this wrong. If you can raise tens of millions of dollars on the idea that you will be able to buy a business and get a 3-6x ROI for your investors in a 3 year timeframe, before even identi

Very helpful post. I'd like to add that "Fooled by Randomness" [1] by Taleb should be required reading for investors and speculators alike. A couple other good quotes to remember by one of my favorite investors, Ray Dalio. &q

But the site is still down for some period of time, even if it's less than a second. That's unacceptable for applications with many users that are deployed many times per day.

They'd rather take on debt than issue equity. Convertible debt turns into equity in the future unless it's paid off on some defined schedule.

If you have a complex stack (multiple services, different versions of Ruby/Python/etc, DB, search engine, etc), it's a real pain to shove them all into a single VM. Once you have 2 VM's running you have already lost to D

For pages with a great deal of local/global state, we've taken a page from David Nolen's Om library and have a cursors library written for react using react's immutability helpers. See the example/repo @ https:&#x2

This journalist is upset his car was towed even though he was at fault... While getting your car towed is a terrible experience and impound lots are a massive PITA, I think it's out of line to invoke "inequality" and especial

I also agree with this but do think the sample size is too small.

In theory you are correct but the marginal investor (who sets the price of an asset) will always trade based on its present day value. So, in reality, it wouldn't affect market rates much. The corporate tax, on the other hand, is a hei

> IMO, the perfect solution would be to eliminate the corporate tax altogether, and tax capital gains and dividends as income instead. I enthusiastically agree with this. There should be little benefit to holding an asset for longer peri

I have spent a significant amount of time with many programming fonts. My favorite monospaced font is Menlo. That said, I'm farsighted and prefer fonts with more weight.

In Texas salaries average around 80% of what they are in CA. No state income tax. Rent is around 1k (albeit higher in Austin). Food, gas, etc is less expensive. Saving 50% of post-tax income is very doable.

Agreed. Buy for utility rather than as an investment. If you end up making money selling the house at some point in the future net transaction costs I'd consider it a bonus. That said, IMO buying a house with the goal of selling it in

Almost all of these merchants are receiving USD and they do need some party to handle the exchange risk. Coinbase/Bitpay do this and their fees are substantially lower than credit card companies.

The party won't end until interest rates return to natural levels. Until then you're going to have a tremendous amount of volatility and a market continuing to grow faster than GDP.

Telling a kid in college (I was a sophomore when I was writing Haskell) that he deserves to lose 10% over something like that is crazy. The obvious to us, many years into programming professionally, is not always obvious to newer folks.

I felt the same way about lisp and always reached for the same acronym when I was in college at UT. 7 years later I'm a huge fan of lisp (CL/Clojure/Scheme) and enjoy writing Clojure whenever I get the chance. It's hard
