I think the homeschool movement has become too extreme. You can do homeschool if you want. But you also need to learn from others. The school system does help. I went to a 4-year university. I got a degree in Computer Science. I think it&#x

I started a company 8 years ago. I went through startup literature. I tried to follow the advices. We got our product going for 2 years. But we couldn't make it big. We eventually transitioned to contracting work. We were basically wor

I wouldn't say religion makes a lot of sense. They don't answer all. Science sure answers a lot. Religion has some useful ideas. Praying is a form of meditation that calms the mind. Fasting seems to work better than most diets we&

I grew up in a non-religious household. I have a science career track. I study a good amount of science. I didn't know much about religions. When I was young, I consider myself an atheist. I enjoy reading history. Sometimes, I end up r

It's good to see people in the tech circle thinking about China. China's rise to dominance is unquestionable now. The current US administration has failed miserably. In the past 4 years, China has made gains on all fronts. I don&#

I think software ecosystems are currently infested by corporate interests. I feel kinda funny for saying this. It sounds like some kinds of left-wing politics. But software has become increasingly consolidated. There're 5-10 companies

I've seen this topic, the gap between philosophy and life, being discussed a lot in Buddhism. The Vietnamese Buddist monks usually talk about "Đạo và Đời" meaning "Religion and Life." The monks explain why they don&

I agree. The moderation camp exists. They're just not as loud. :) I like your characterization of Americans: extremely angry about minuscule modalities. :)

Your opinion is balanced. But it'll appear as nonsense to Americans. Americans are ideologues. They love freedom. They like their own camps. They want to find eternal truths in everything. (There's no such thing). In the dietary w

Being alone is a strange experience. Most people can't tolerate it. I think maybe 5-10% of people will make through it. They'll give up. They'll find ways to reconnect. It's important to have faith. It'll spark curi

I grew up in Vietnam. There were similar positive attitudes towards overweight bodies. The country was ravaged by wars and famines. Overweight bodies mean prosperity. It's changing now in Vietnam, however. They're converging to vi

I think the hard part of writing is our fear of being wrong or not polished. We want to put together ideas and show others that we are right. The struggle leads to incoherent thoughts. We are afraid to write them down. So the first hurdle o

This analysis misses altcoin mining. When mining adjusts on BTC, miners don't just turn off their rigs. They can go mine altcoins. This behavior introduces another dimension to mining economics. Miners are practical. They have to make

This discussion reminds me of Java and C/C++. In those days, we used to write messy programs in C. The language works well if you want to write some targeted libraries. It becomes really difficult to write complex software. I think Mic

There's another one that I think qualifies for this list: Elastic Container Service. It's a half baked Docker service. It seems like it's abandoned now for Kubernetes.

The US is a federation of states. It has already fallen apart in some ways in this crisis. Power and decision making are shifting to local states. I think the trend will intensify. The biggest threat to the US is probably secession. That ha

This comment resonates with me. I've been to meetings where we spent hours and discussed these things. I tend to ignore them and do as instructed. The work is pretty boring. But I get paid for it. I think my peers don't like me. I

I'm running through similar thoughts with this article. I graduated from college in 2006. My job survived the 2008 crisis. I rode out and built a stable life. I started a startup in 2011. Our product did not make it. I've been wor

This virus seems sneaky. It's seasonal and it probably does not like heat. For countries closer to the equator, it has not done much damage. It's hard to hide deaths. I think the numbers are close to reality. But the virus may sur

We need to go back and discuss whether Bitcoin is a viable form of money. :) That's a long discussion. There's plenty of material on the web. I do think Bitcoin is a viable form of money. It's not complete. I don't think

Thanks for the reply. It's kinda hard to reason these economic systems from a personal perspective. It's probably easier to understand them when the system is supported by a group of individuals (collective view). Bitcoin is an ex
