Great another medium from which failed reality stars can convince an increasingly stupid public to vote for. Edit: This is funny, no one was a sense of humor. Just imagine Donald Trump's holographic head spinning slowly while he give

I think his point was a hypothetical without the advertising component. Like if they just embedded bitcoin miners in every page that displayed a youtube video.

The hilarious thing about this is that so what why not? Can't I opt to let another co-opt my cpu while I watch videos so that I don't have to watch ads? I'd much prefer people using my cpu to mine bitcoin than to render some

Puffin circumvents Apple’s ability to block ads which other app developers provide at a premium on the App Store. It also circumvents all the parental controls provide by Safari. It’s a great idea but it Likely needs to incorporate the sett

"Wray’s speech undoubtedly spurred frustration in Silicon Valley" It's an absolutely ridiculous notion that everyone in the Valley is pro-privacy. It's the exact opposite. Many of the security higher-ups in the Valley ar

Regardless, I think working at a mega-tech-corp like any in the valley are immensely important. It shows you immediately that software is built by bureaucracy. Many large projects are in fact built that way; you have to collaborate with ma

Call me paranoid but y’all seem petty unfazed by the seriousness of what’s being presented here. Google and Facebook are going to stop growing in the next ten years which means unless cars start driving themselves soon, the gravy train is c

It's crazy how far we've come but things like email/voice/video conferencing somehow are still so essential yet completely broken. But then have we come that far if those things are still broken? idk but good job Front!

I can see it now: "Amazon HQ2 Candidate Cities Decide to Collectively Bargain." "Boise, Idaho - previously not even in the running - is officially the home of the new Amazon HQ2!"

Not to mention what happens when this store gets robbed blind and the PR fallout form that event. I know it’s unlikely, but something like that could have very damaging effects on whether this will see widespread adoption. I’m only saying t

Screenshot'd this headline for a year from now, ya know long after the crypto thing has just absolutely imploded. Figure it'd give me a good laugh.

Great time to get into apps as everyone is so focused on Blockchain. By the time that bubble implodes, investors will want a brand new, fresh, ready-to-be-invested in app to throw their money at.

It does suck because blockchain technology does seem intriguing and cool, but there's so much dirty money floating around the ecosystem right now I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

Unions do other things like maybe even require certain working conditions; standing desk or that they provide computers to you of sufficient power, licenses they'd have to buy etc, maybe they absolutely will not implement certain compl

I'm sure there's an argument lying around somewhere that would tell that the best time to start a union is in a seller's market.

It's an extremely toxic, dangerous material overall. The fear is well-founded in a geopolitically chaotic, variable world. Not to mention, in this case specifically, they're going to strap it to a rocket and send it to Mars. Gonna

I think outsourcing is precisely what we're doing; we're good at that. Spaceflight is easy, creating a nuclear battery might be easy too, maybe even something we can outsource, but it's the one thing we definitely do not want

I agree. But not doing the interview, most of the time, prevents one from getting the job.

Yeah and don’t get the job. It is pretty simple.

Chicago is huge. River North is a good example of what you're talking about, but most of the city is not as you described. For example, Rogers Park is extremely walkable, safe part of the city.

"without asking for much publicly" Well when ya all but purchase support from all the mayors, aldermen, district supervisors, judges, etc, kinda negates your need to ask for anything.

I disagree completely. IT is going the opposite way, much of the maintenance is becoming commodified so the more complex tasks almost always involved writing actual code. It's become more of a SWE org everywhere. It's funny becaus

This is kind of my argument to champion logical robustness over design. Design feels good and logical robustness is hard and difficult. But the latter can be achieved and some cases the design must be discarded in some ways to achieve it. I

Or they could, ya know, pay these people called "writers" and a "production crew" to make them a bunch of "shows". But nah man that's the old way of doing things.
