I don't think he should have done any time for the drug-related charges. And 10 years is more than enough for a murder-for-hire in which nobody got hurt. So this seems... just.

I believe they are implying that people are disapproving the pardon because it was done by Trump.

I think the author is simply wrong is their assumption. I'm pro-homeschooling, more or less fit the described profile and I don't see a slightest problem with my kid interacting with average people nor do I have contempt for them.

Not only the article doesn't answer the question in the title, it doesn't even attempt to support the premise. Instead, it's just a book ad. As for staying small, how are you going to pay the politicians to enact regulations

It's not pedantic at all. They cost so much less that it renders the entire calculation meaningless. Almost all of the cost of a consumer VPN account is user acquisition (a cost they don't bear in this case). Operations cost peanu

Less censorship on Facebook and less regulations sounds like a good thing (doubt the latter will happen anyway). The problem with Facebook has never been that it allows harmful content. It's that it actively promotes it.

I was waiting for some sensible explanation of Russia's "economic miracle" and this sounds at least somewhat satisfactory. Let's hope the theory is true and the debt crisis comes soon enough.

I'm not convinced introverts and extroverts even exist. All people have a need for company and a need for solitude. Depending on how well each of these needs is satisfied you may feel one or the other way. Most of the time I see people

I've recently experienced a sharp decline in my ability to remember anything code-related. At one point I looked at the code I wrote the day before and it felt as if I don't even know the language it's written in. I was attri

Thinking about a military career. Pretty sure soldier will be the last job to disappear. Mostly not joking.

Since this is a contract position, do you consider part-timers by any chance? I'd really like to do what you do and I think I could make a solid case on why I'm the man for this job, but I'm booked for 2 days a week for the n

Not really. Education sucks because it doesn't scale. Every single child needs to be educated and educating them takes thousands (or tens of thousands) of hours of teacher work. Meanwhile an average person probably requires only tens o

I don't remember believing in any tech utopia for a very long time. On the other hand I regularly see people who still believe we are a few years away from AGI creating one for us. So while it's over for the author it's not s

You are not the smartest person in the world. You are lucky if you get one thing better than everyone else, but you never know everything better than everyone else. So sorry, but fuck hubris and I'm going to follow the best practices w

I'd rather work for a leader with a strong product vision. Their job is to know where we are going. How we get there is what I'm being paid for.

Yeah, "fake" means you can't find it in search, which was good enough to kill the momentum when it mattered. It's also not fake in any way, and the explanation they gave is laughable. Also, there were previous instances

Russian-controlled is an overstatment, but it's definitely Russian-influenced. There seems to have been some kind of balance - Durov allowed the Russians some limited control in exchange for being allowed to operate in Russia. The publ

There's nothing funny or wrong about this argument. In a democracy, law is a community consensus. In a tyranny it's just a rule set up by the tyrant for everyone to follow (but never followed by the tyrant himself and his gunmen).

Ukrainians use Maxim guns to shoot down ICE-propelled Shaheds. Pretty hard to saturate that. You generally want to saturate the more advanced systems.

My impression of Vietnam is that people there are pretty chill indeed, but also that answering truthfully in such surveys might not be in your best interest if you are a local.

In Ukraine alone, there have been two major instances of military destruction of hydroelectric dams (Dnieper Hydroelectric Station during WWII and Kakhovka Dam during the current war) with the number of casualties far greater than that of a

Why are people building their software in Python when they need performance? There are other languages that excel at this. Python strengths lie elsewhere and they are increasingly being diminished with all these "upgrades". Splitt

Because it's a lot more predictable. Put in the necessary effort and you are almost guaranteed to get a FAANG job. And the best part, it's completely clear where that effort needs to be directed. Yes, you need to have the smarts,

You make it sound so easy. I've ran small businesses for most of my career and I've never made more than a quarter of what I currently make working as a contractor (ironically, for a business I once started, now owned by someone e

I am conscious. What's the purpose of me having consciousness? As far as can tell I could have functioned the exact same way without experiencing anything whatsoever.

Your subconscious clearly has different priorities, try listening to it. If it's concerned about your safety, then maybe your daily activities aren't bringing you closer to safety as quickly as they could. If it's concerned a
