Yes! A Man for All Markets! I read this one too! Thorp became my new hero because of it. Got me to start doing more personal research projects.

Cool to see an economics book on your list. I think it's a highly underrated subject among the tech community. I started to lightly teach myself economics this year. It was a real sobering experience learning how incredibly stupid I wa

Whoa! That's nuts to see side by side. It's one thing to know the media does this. It's totally different to actually see it of the same event. Really helps them frame the narrative in their own spin. These are beautiful exam

Actually, I have to shoot you down on that one. There are "beauty schools" that teach nail arts, hair styling, makeup, etc. Want to know something really interesting? The people you're shitting on that go into those schools,

Bah, all that pales comparison to Paw Patrol ip. They're the kings of selling shit towards kids. There was an article a month (WSJ or NYT) or so back that they crossed $1 billion for revenue this fiscal year. That and like Peppa Pig is

You mean you can't foresee the unforeseen? No! But you're right. The moral of the story to Jurassic Park pretty much was "Just because you can science against nature, doesn't mean you should." But to be fair to, ae.

Yes and no. That's actually part of what's researched before they do a treatment. From what I know, it takes about a week from deciding to "treat" a body of water to actually treating it, at the fastest. They collect a b

Hold up, another Floridian, these are only used when the mosquito populations sky rocket out of control. These are last resort measures when water control tactics failed. Typically after massive flooding occurred in an area. This was the go

And infecting one species with a bacteria that alter's their reproductive system could never transfer to animals that consumes them? Before reinventing the wheel, why not look at Florida's century long research into controlling mo

Male mosquitoes pollinate many plants that keep ecosystems in balance. Plants that bees normally don't pollinate. Plus they are a food source for many other animals, including birds. In Florida, the state uses university researchers to

Never split the difference is fantastic. Voss gives a good amount of tangible conversation tactics that you can try out nearly same day on people. I got it as an audio book too so I can listen to it every now and then in the car.

As in it's possible the build can't interact with the patch tool. Thus, they needed to make some fundamental fixes that just requires a flat out new build. I don't know, I'm speculating. But I highly doubt there going &q

Honestly, I don't see the big deal. I never buy a game when it first releases. From anyone. AAA or indie. I always wait a month or so. That's when the bugs the devs never saw coming typically get ticketed and patched. I don't

Dude, it's a stress test. The only way you can fix it is by... STRESSING it. It's really straight forward of a concept. That means lots of people doing lots of little things. You can't find these bugs without lots of people d

Right? They've been pretty up front and honest about the online only aspect due to the nature of the game. If they hid that fact, yes, lots to be pissed off about. But it's like "I bought this package that said it's salt

You mean they took the "BETA" event, found bugs and patched said bugs? On the first day of OFFICIAL release! NO! That's impossible! Why would they do something like that!?!? Everyone knows BETA means 5 years of an incomplete

I can’t find the article, but didn’t another Nordic country, where they’re going cashless already find a flaw? Their communication infrastructure had some sort of disruption, I don’t think it was an attack, but a failure of something for li

Oh, no no no. I totally agree with you. My point was it's demonized and there's like a stigma to it. Like masturbating. I just always feel like whenever I talk to random new people about wood working, it's almost like I'

Yea, I read that article. That and the suffering fetish or whatever it's also called. It's all whack. It's funny how being an entrepreneur use to mean freedom from being a cog in a machine. Now it's turned into just bein

There are many days where this sounds like the next logical step in my life.

You know what's funny, I don't think hobbies are an acceptable thing anymore. Seems like "hobbies" are demonized if they're not "productive". I even have to combat the random feelings that "I should b

Maybe it's a coping mechanism for unrealistic expectations? I'm not saying 100%, but playing with that idea. If you grow up your whole life on stories of teens making millions and you're a loser if you don't. What else i

Lol, dude, I'm 31. I've been doing this for around 10 years now. And I'm alright at it :P Have you seen how happy homesteaders are? On a serious note. I'm aware. That's why I did my own company with a friend. It cut

Not sure if I understand your question. Do you mean the mental issues part? If so, back then we all just thought the HR posting the job was retarded. If I saw something stupid, the person was stupid. It never hurt me. Nowadays the whole imp

It is funny though. Look at all the physicists and mathematicians in that quote list. Positive, enlightened, a little snark maybe, but generally, moving things forward for the betterment of humanity. All the programmers, "embrace the s

That was it! I think that's what I heard back in the day. It just sucks that kids these days are judging themselves off these bullshit advertisements. Now they're getting mental issues where they don't have a good self-image

Better yet, the interviewer should have experience in said job, as to better evaluate a potential candidate. I'm pretty sure, most of us have come across folks who pretend to know something, you ask them easy, little, but esoteric ques

Saw a similar title, back in Seattle 2013 timeframe. Top 1% of ninja dev guru superstar something or other. The days when ninja was titled on EVERYTHING. So cringey. Had to have a masters in CS. I think it was 5 years of experience or somet
