Nobody. It gets shut down and turned into a museum of historical examples of corporatism.

Here’s a solution. Make college free for all. Anyone with a HS diploma can get in. But, you MUST attend the classes and do the work or you’re kicked out end of semester. Totally based on merit. No biases on income or anything else.

Amazons retail success is largely about shipping. Amaz used items which are usually just damaged packaging are great and then come close or beat everyone on price. Depends on the item. BBs open box prices are imo pretty good. Makes sense a

Espionage is nothing new. Trump or US govt. ordering this is an attractive idea to Trump haters. Self serving for Bezos btw. But I think unlikely. No need. Like other smear attempts for instance Wikileaks on the Clinton campaign and also wh

Usually the technologist is not even in the room with the business leaders. Your manager or their manager is. You want to be (and be seen as) valuable. You have to depend on your manager to vouch for you. If you have a complete asshole poli

I know nothing of the neuroscience but I have a theory we look at memory wrong. We see it like storage. You take a cup, put it in a cabinet, and bring it out later. But what about memories as your brain, not pulling it from storage, but e

Not just very poor people, but minimalists. I couldn’t pay LA or SF rents, not cause of poverty, just on principle. Makes you kind of angry what 2000/mo. gets you. Compared to some of these tiny or crappy apartments and houses, an RV

China HAD to have played a major part in this. They dont’t need the US playing a more active military role in the region. Have to wonder if/what Trump’s actions has contributed?

Better also to not just grasp but live on concepts like opportunity cost and technical debt. You are Not adding value making the wrong choices in these areas, nevermind your ability to type code.

Check out registered agent fees as well, which can easily go over $100 first year. I used a ‘service’ about $100 to setup LLC in a low tax state. No complaints.

I suspect IQ plays into it, the ability to think. But, very few people really want to be rich. They fantasize about it but then go about working a job that can never get them rich. It’s probably better that most people’s priorirites are f

Guns are certainly part of the American identity, for many Americans at least. Sadly, there are some pretty horrible biases and misconceptions as well. There is a theory that democracy flourishes, when the Government is not that much bette

Mattress is an item where its very easy to misjudge the value. You spend 1/3 your life on it! Whats that worth? $3000. Seems legit. There was some movie where these street guys were talking about the best stolen stuff to sell on th

The western world is in crisis psychologically. This kind of thing didn’t cause it, but it ain’t helping. But materialism is valorized by CNBC and startup bro culture as well. The sad thing about this kind of capitalism though is in money

Stress is more a function of the culture of the company you are working for and can be influenced by your manager and direct coworkers but not by much. Culture is like the weather and is created by the very top level executives. As far as t

I wouldn’t want to work for a place that targeted older workers. I need to respect the company I work with. That said, whoever hires or fires based on age, get good at hiding it, because its illegal, and one should not be expected to just

Very strange comment. Currency is a creation of governments. It’s not something to ‘take back’ power to be people and so forth. If you want to free people, currency does nothing. Examine our slavery to debt and interest. If it’s not valid

Probably, mostly Jobs. Very few CEOs have that kind of exquisite vision and be able to execute on it. Remember, Jobs’ choices were controversial. No stylus! The question in determining the fairness of a 1000x CEO pay is, to what extent th

Any way to increase the global state that can be stored and shared across instances? Say to 100mb? Could this be an option to be requested? Tests ive run using CFW as a memory cache have been very very fast.

Yes. It’s not only visually pleasing to especially a non technical audience. I’d argue helps build trust subconciously, signals competence, that you care, are looking after the details, and have some at least sense of what looks good (mark

I’d second that, for web devs too, a text editor is all you need. After 20+ years but I try out most new tools. Just in case it turns out to be something great. In webdev in 20 years Id say ONLY Github/Git, and the cloud Linux VPS, ha

On the consumer front, you can be paperless now, and travel across the county carrying nothing but your phone. That feels like progress as far as efficiency. Better tools and resources like Stack overflow etc.. have made us more productive
