You probably could just say CNN instead of the Onion and people wouldn’t bat an eye. Which is sad.

Of course there’s testing. It amounts to: return true; Return true is tested to still work. But seriously. There’s no accident in what happened. This is Facebook. Anyone who thinks Facebook isn’t morally corrupt probably also says “What do

I’m more surprised that people are still being “surprised” that Facebook isn’t a wholesome company out to make the world a better place through algorithmic social manipulation.

Let’s not be ignorant of the idea of one or two senior developers each given a suitcase full of cash. It’s not like learning to program magically gives you unbreakable ethics. Even at this point, you’re not getting a mass exodus of workers

No, when anyone says “we are all adults here”, that’s a person who often socializes with people on a regular basis and doesn’t binge watch videos and shows all day, everyday. That’s why a lot of people are getting fired up about in here. Pe

You mean adults should act like adults? That’s madness! But yea, small groups shouldn’t be formalized. If people can’t get along, that’s a sign of poor social skills or someone is a total asshole in the group. Which, again, be adults and le

Different industry? Different background? Like Eastern European immigrant that could only afford to live among white trash blue collar folks? I should be too stupid to know how the great big American economy works then since my high school

I’m sorry, but a thank you is now considered arbitrary? Come on, seriously? What environment are you not taught to respect someone that gave you time of day? And does it matter if they are truly thankful? It’s not like people share things o

Interviewers typically email you to schedule the interview or share their business card with you during the interview...

I mean... I was taught in high school to always send a thank you email to an interviewer after an interview. Not only for the courtesy, but also to stay in the interviewer’s head if they were undecided. Most people don’t send these, thus, y

We need to decentralize all the things! One organization cannot have a hold on multiple organizations. We need to centralize all the things! One organization needs to unify all other organizations.

Are there truly folks “above” money? I believe so. But not a single one is or wants to be in the public light. Ever. The same drive that lends someone to desire public attention, also drives the want of money. So if there’s a public stateme

They gave away money, in the public light, to attract more donations... to take off the top. More donations, more “top” to take from. Just because it was bitcoin, doesn’t mean they aren’t human. I think the past few years of bitcoin has pro

Proves my point. He burned it in front of a freelance reporter and filmed it. Then released a film about it. Sacrifice a small pile of money to try making a bigger pile. There are smarter ways, but making more was the intent. If it wasn’t t

Everyone is always above money until they’re looking at a stack of it in front of them. The only folks I know that have the willpower to turn down a pile of money is someone who has their eyes set on a mountain of money.

Please don't forget cobalt and lithium mining. Plus processing into batteries. They have pretty bad environmental impacts as well.

The problem is more sunk cost fallacy than just being a capitalist problem. There’s an article from the Pinterest devs when they migrated from node.js to MySQL. They were thinking the conversion would cost too much and take too long. They a

You’re right, it is a political hammer. The thing is, it never survives feasibility studies. The Tampa Orlando hsr has been a talking point for at least 20 years that I know of. There just isn’t enough people who even say that they MIGHT us

Portland-Seattle is already a terrible candidate. I use to travel between the two once a month for a year. The Amtrak was empty as hell. If Amtrak didn't get as much in subsidies as it did to keep that going, it would have shut that sh

Have you ever ridden on a cross country train? Because it sounds like you haven't. I think you're confusing Harry Potter with reality. The I-5 Amtrak is great and all between Seattle and Portland, but it sucks after the first hour

The economics still don't work. It becomes a "public work" project instead of a self-sustained business. If the car ended up being much more expensive to purchase and operate, like it is in countries mentioned that are doing

Yea, that argument makes perfect sense, if you totally ignore that the speed of tunneling isn't dictated by the drill but by installing the support structures as you tunnel. The actual tunneling aspect is not the bottleneck (unless you

Yea, because the underground to NYC is REALLY over built. There are fuck tons of old tunnels there. A lot that were never recorded properly (or lost). LA doesn't have the same problem. Especially since they are farther from water. The

Um... I know it's part of what the cool kids do. Shitting on the US. But... this is the pot calling the kettle black. China has been ramping up their own military spending like crazy the past few years. Plenty of articles from CNN and

Right? It's really eye-opening when a few basic concepts are explained. My only qualm so far in that field is the ideology aspect towards economic theories. I don't think Keynesian, classical, supply-side, etc should be considered

Yea, the book "The Prince" is different than the pop-culture ideas of it. I blame English literature snobs for making mountains out of mole hills from this one.

+1 on Master Algorithm Like OP said, not a tutorial. It talks about different thought processes and techniques. Extremely good stuff to know. Take notes on it. It's dense in things you should probably research more in depth.

Question, how in depth was the Alibaba book? Was full of nitty-gritty details of how it started or was it kind of a shallow hoo-ray kind of book?
