Maybe so, but this is always going to be a problem with unionized government work. We can try to approximate a free market by reducing the power of public-sector unions. Ultimately it has to come down to tax payers to hold government accoun

You're arguing for higher standards for teachers, which would naturally increase the market rate compensation. I don't think thats whats happening. We can have a discussion about increasing the minimum training for teachers to be

Is it not enough to just say that we should pay people market rates? If the true cost of a firefighter in California is indeed 190k then thats what they should be paid. If its lower then they are overpaid and if its higher than they are und

Isn't the whole point of doing this over twitter for the distribution, not the medium? How many people have blogs with 20k subscribers with the built in virality?

Yeah Linkedin really took off this year in that respect. I always thought it was due to the demand for virality. People realized a big linkedin following was valuable and started acting differently. If no one could ever see your posts.. may

I’ll start with some personal thoughts ranked from mild to extreme changes: 1. remove re-post button (hopefully gets rid of “virality” and “influencers”) 2. cap comments / hour to 10 (gets rid of arguments, flame wars) 3. remove like b

Hi everyone! I lifted this out of a different application I built. I found that time and time again I need a way to allow people to upload a CSV. Whenever a user messes something up (reverses first_name with last_name for instance), it crea

How does one conduct an interview for a software engineer without either writing code or using a whiteboard?

Yeah I've used some similar tools before in the past too. The frustrating thing is that 1. they usually have some free tier + some paid tier, and the free tier is never quite enough to do what you want. 2. They always seem to require a

Hi everyone! I built this as a way to quickly create a mock JSON API. I've often found when starting a new project, usually someone works on the frontend and someone works on the backend. This creates a state where the frontend develop

I wonder how something like this could be used in practice in the event of a societal collapse. Who will be the governing body to protect your rights to this site, even if you did own it?

I see this argument in relation to refugees pretty often. It seems to insinuate that we are spending more on refugees than we are on homeless shelters. SF is prepared to spend 1.1 billion to address homelessness, which I think is just shy o

I guess my question is less about the economics of Uber but more: How do we think through the fact that a certain portion of Uber drivers will lose their job due to a drop in demand driven by these new regulations? Unless the argument is th

I really love seeing projects like this. My humble two cents is that in past projects I've often found the process to create the CSV that goes into a model is often much more time consuming and error prone than actually training a mode
