Art is a really weird market in general. The problem with NFT is that people are buying it as an investment rather than a work of art with its own merit of which appreciation might be one benefit. There's likely no museum backstop for

This is not new. Try supporting communism in any time since the 30s. Try being openly gay in any era before the 1980s. Fundamentally, any society has bounds on the "true" freedom of speech, and America, despite its best intentions

There's a template. You invite the company into an all-hands. You tell the entire company. During that, account lockouts are happening. Then, you have individual appointments between the individual manager and HR (sometimes, HR+). The

The key is this: If you have to change one, do you have to change all copies? The problem is not duplicated code; the problem is duplicated concepts. DRY was a response to cut-and-paste programming, not thoughtful application of the same (o

So, can this mythical 24x7 support the code you wrote? Did you write documentation that explains every case that could go wrong? If your team writes code that doesn’t need to be supported by an engineer, then your team won’t get called.

Hiring manager here. Knowledge has a half life. If you have taken 6 months off, and have an interesting story, this is not a big deal. (For example, I took 8 months off to live in Istanbul. I had two interviews and two offers when coming ba

Are they talking about dedicated roads like Istanbul? I would take their metrobus system (bridge-excepted) over an equivalent light rail that shares the road with cars like the green line in Boston. The key, to me, is dedicating space for p

ABC Valve Manufacturing is running on a 6% profit margin. That cost wipes out their entire profit margin for the year. (They are competing against people in other countries without the same constraint.) Now, perhaps this is an upstream prob

That is a function of time in company and continuity of team more than skill of manager.

However, in this case it was technically helpful content and sharing a frustrating story. It was one paragraph that was easy to ignore. There was no popup or call to action past that simple paragraph. As far as native advertising, this is a

This is a user experience problem. It is easy to close a tab. It is hard to delete a bookmark, and easy to end up with a giant list of things you will never care about again. 50 tabs open is an indication that there is a stage between &quot

These are called PEOs, or Professional Employment Organizations. It is closer to 30% overhead, but much of that is based in providing benefits to the employee outside the country of origin. The cost is also relative to the country. I sugges

I worked on one of these. We had giant problems with caching. You have an assumption that the likeliness of the vehicle becoming unavailable but there are so many ways this isn't true. The edge cases of car sharing can be downright wei

I'd say the opposite. Elizabeth Holmes subverted the rules because she thought she knew better, and never learned the rules, much less mastered them.

It's conceptually interesting. I'm curious as to what you believe a manager does, and how you think the 40-60 hours of work should be distributed throughout the organization.

Dvorak didn't change anything for me and I went back. The problem for me is angle of wrists, not key travel. (The other problem is one-handed chording and stretching. Ctrl-X,V for example.)

Depending on budget, it might be less expensive to look at a tool like https://app.molnify.com/#ajax/examples (or its 5 competitors from a google search.) It feels like a subset of this should be an open source app (th

Maybe. If crops fail, it's going to depend on what crops fail. We won't have the option of radically reapportioning our crops on the fly; while a pre-emptive move to vegetarianism might help, that's a radical solution for a p

What is your strategy that works for every packaging system and every version of every library you depend on? Nothing says love like realizing that you are segfaulting due to a library version you didn't test against subtly changing it
