It's a good route if you're lazy. I worked my ass off as an IC and always joked with manager friends that they don't work too hard. They didn't like that, but found out I was right. It's not for everybody for sure,

Win-win-win for Apple with this move. New revenue stream of expensive parts. Those iphone repair shops scattered all over the country that are getting pissed at you - just made them your customers. Keeps people with broke phones in the ecos

Some of the comments in this thread are wild. Huge dependency trees are bad pattern, plain and simple. The problem isn’t only ridiculous amounts of untrusted code, but thousands of new developers of the last 10 years who think this is the w

These packages serve a very useful purpose in that they illustrate dependency abuse, but the fact isOdd DEPENDS ON isEven and isNumber is pretty funny.

In my manager days I simply assigned a factor to each team member based on the type of work, so one person may be baseline hrs * 1 and another hrs *.8 This had to be accurate, as it’s consulting, if the hours are wrong we lose money. But on

Except for birth cert, passport, and ss card - totally paperless. Scan everything instantly. Maybe a little fanatical but it really keeps my head clear.

This is not data science, its speculative trading. So, a data science approach without the massive paranoia and appropriate hedges that must accompany any trading endeavor, is a problem. But I wonder of the future of mass corporate home buy

Frankly, people buy a lot of stuff they don't need. But I wonder how the dependence on disposable items plays in. I could never understand stressing one bit about the most disposable items like paper towels. Completely non-essential i

No, I can easily drop YouTube TV. Roku is built into each of my 3 TVs. I'm glad this was about Youtube TV, if it ws the Youtube app I'd have a problem.

I won't argue that the whole system is stuck in the 20th century, but there is a little bit of "big companies and taxes are evil and I'm oppressed!" going on here. I understand not everyone has an easy time with it. But

At the risk of being a non-popular opinion, I don't find tax filing to be particularly difficult. Maybe its because my job is to solve pretty hard problems all day. But the average person/family who doesn't itemize have a Sc

I like the concept of immutable content, but HTTP eliminated top down control of information? Well, we’re all dependent on the Internet which can be shut down at any time by any government, and normally almost completely dependent on FAANG

Somebody teach the young ones. You need a text editor. Git is a very nice to have. Everything else is optional.

Very valid point however that the US is perhaps a little too focused on the past (also driven by revenue preservation for defense contractors) - while China more future focused. The US needing to debate the ethics of AI however is exactly t

Orson Wells' F for Fake is a terrific film about an art forger, that explores concepts of art, authenticity, and value. In the film, an artist forges works of art by famous artists and fraudulently sells them to museums. It's impl

I don’t see more policing or better militarization as the answer. These crimes are symptoms of core problems, that run like currents through society. We’re not served well by the constant prideful “we’re the greatest country in the world”.

Your negotiation, but also your perceived value. During my time as a manager I was shocked by the difference in salaries. I mean one person making 60k another 120k. I mean, same job, same experience. Actually the 60k guy was the most talent

10x is real but I think the more compelling question is how low a bar of competency is allowed to work in the profession - and what is the average level of competency in the programmer market. "Certifications" doesn't get the

Smoking and edibles are different experiences. If you want the effects right away, edibles don't do that. Very different thing feeling the full effects in 10 min. vs 1-2 hrs.

More brands means higher likelihood of a used item however. Normally I'll just put in a max price or click the used link. So the $29 kettle is $21. I've never bought a "used" item from Amazon that was unsatisfactory ca

The best technical people may consider the marketing more important than the tech. I'm quite certain I can build a great system for any needs, but no confidence I can sell it enough to support a business. In fact I'd probably be s

The is no such thing as Social Security “solvency”. If Social Security cannot pay it’s obligations to recipients, it is funded by the general treasury. The treasury doesn’t have the funds either, so is funded by treasuries.

Count your masks. My box of 10 3M masks (closed not taped shut) from Home depot only had 9 in it. The told me I can gladly travel 30 min back to the store and wait in line for a refund. No thanks.

A $2000 mortgage payment at 4% interest is not equivalent to a $2000 payment at 2%. That money that would have gone towards your equity, is being spent in interest. This is why people making 60k/yr. buy $65,000 trucks. Interest rates d
