Those cultures are still connected to their mother cultures though. Though they start to become unique as they mix with American/other cultures the link and the advantages it confers have stayed whole. The studiousness of Chinese immig

What I mean by age is age of connection to older cultures. Almost all western countries have wealth, either literal or cultural from Greek and Roman civilizations. Asias subcultures have roots in Chinese culture. African American culture wa

It's not that simple and it's not just about greed. The Asian cultures have centuries more experience dealing with high density people situations. Violence is not as legitimized as a method of boundary enforcement for example beca

As an aside, I think Google has huge potential to become the source of discovery for all things. Actions where it promotes its own stuff on Google play despite knowing and hiding the same thing on Hulu/Netflix/HBO is myopic. It sh

Agreed. Though I'd add that objectivism itself pursued and achieved as an end goal successfully , opens blind spots as well especially to things like heuristics and intuition. Basically anywhere where models don't exist or are too

Almost all signal can have most of it's information expressed as a sine wave, but it's the jitter in the wave that has all the 'important' information. There's a fallacy where getting the majority of certain types o

I've always disliked these top down plans that require so much setup and upfront work. The best tools I've worked with are progressive in their discovery and mastery of features without lowering the ceiling too much. Sublime for e

Index investing is great, but don't be afraid of taking risks for things you believe in. Actions where you put something at risk are those that truly show who you are. Constantly evaluate your emotions of fear and greed as to avoid fal

One thing i've come to believe is that interviews are broken not because of some cultural relic or clueless managers or unintentionally evil bureaucracies and processes but because of the engineers themselves. I've been a part of

One thing though is that although 1:1 specialized and individual service is always superior, the providers arent well paid. This means that startups, though better than large companies in a certain respect, can no longer become rich because

Hype driven development appears in many disciplines. Javascript is exacerbated due to its lower barrier to entry (htmls/css hardly require cs degrees) but also how young everyone is, due to being mostly new developers. There is some tr

The reason most programmers are white males is because traditionally only wealthy western countries had access to computers. As the cost went down, more people could afford to study and in silicon valley at least there are many Chinese and

The thing with enlightenment level ideas isn't that they aren't enlightening but that they attract hype. Individuals pretending to be enlightened if you will. A scientific mindset as well as liberalism are also ideas where new pro

I think to understand gender discrimination we need to understand what hazing is all about. A basic definition may be "An unpleasant experience to gate access". At first, I thought it was about building bonds but what I believe ha

From one perspective, the bar should be lowered. Lowering the bar is acknowledgement of discriminatory practices towards opportunity. How can a black person study if he is banned from a library? Similary, a hostile and overly macho tech cul

There might be a correlation between effective workers and large companies. A person who is willing to memorize "Cracking the Coding Interview" is the type of person who has his or her life on guided rails and would prefer the upp

I actually really like general tsaos chicken and often seeek it out as it's a dish you can't get in China. It only appeals to more people more from the south though or have sweeter cuisines like Shanghai. Many chinese people in th

This argument doesn't make sense because doing it like that is even worse that JSX.

This disadvantages you for IC roles, everyone else is sprucing up their plummage. It's an advantage is you want to self-select out of code-monkey work. Like if you want to be an "architect" or "strategist"

Often times, trying to reduce illegibility kills the ecosystem. Centralized economies for example, though easier to understand and control, often destroyed economies. Certain choices cause divergence, they increase your optionality in the f

I'm rather wary of culturally based strengths. They DO exist. For example, being a good students is like being a star quarterback in the US. There simply isn't a way for US culture to have better academic performance with just thi

Yep. And this problem was "solved" long ago via client side templates, MVC from the server to the front-end. Keeping the model as a single source of truth was still up to the developer though. As was rendering the template after e

This just feels irrelevant to me. Ageism is directed towards older individual contributors, not higher level executives whose job is mostly strategy. (And unofficially, providing meaning and perspective to the younger workers) It even seems

I actually think there is a valid point in that idealogies have a momentum of sorts. Passive investors historically have had privileged access to isolated "pie" via a barrier-to-entry of patience. Without this barrier-to-entry, wh

One thing i've seen is the importance of righteous anger in getting what you want. The primary job of a manager is to keep the employees happy. Since this realization makes them glorified babysitters, they'd rather hire people who

One issue i've seen is that bad tools create lack of accountability. People seem perpetually jaded because there is shit down every street they try to walk down. People silo themselves up to avoid walking around and any request from ot

It's more of a cynicism towards institutional beliefs. It wasn't handed down by anything. Most likely due to the events of the Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward where old institution were destroyed by the existing shitty
