OK, let's try again. I gave a correct summary of what I've learned from Goldberg and elsewhere. In a short comment. This article is "terrible" because it gives a single bad example and derides a very good reference imply

It definitely would. It would display some kind of arrogance and rule-flaunting. Not just regular-joe speeding. So yes, it would be viewed very negatively by both clearance and wall-steet. It's just poor judgement. To have a mistress i

OK, but your idea worthiness isn't what gets a clearance. It's "follow federal law" and "good judgement". Both of which, Elon, epic fail. Yes, a lot of people with clearances probably smoke. But they do it on t

I personally don't agree with the interpretation that drug control is a federal jurisdiction, but that is the status quo. Your second statement is true: Federal law DOES apply across all states. State law does not nullify or override t

If you ever had a clearance, it isn't about sense. It's about "RULES". Thing A and thing A' are moral equivalents. Thing A is a federal crime (we don't care why or if it's wrong). Thing A' is a not a

Here's the critical words: "Ultimately, NASA agreed to pay SpaceX $5 million for its review, and it proceeded. Boeing, however, said such a review would require an additional payment of about $25 million ... NASA balked at the cos

Um, but the author surely is exempt, right? I mean he very clearly thinks he's right about all those "Jerks" being kind of over-inflated. If he's right, then the very best, very most creative and correct people who hav

This article is terrible. Referring to the Goldberg paper as "long article with loltz of formulas" in a throwaway blog post shorter than most of these comments is telling. The "absurd" result that [1+2 != 3] * (0.1) isn&

Why do you say that? It is an extremely good paper and provides a practical and high-level overview in an accessible (details to follow) format. If it's still just too technical, then a) know there is are "subtleties" and b

Simple answer: close the breaker box lid and put a cheap padlock on it. You don't need a tag or special clip. That ensures that your wife or roommate doesn't try to flip the breaker back on while your arm is in the garbage disposa

I don't at all agree with PETA or veganism. But these are valid points - the article title makes it sound like all the "VEGANS" are suing when no real vegan (nor carnivore) would set foot in BK. Nope they are the unethical am

by fargle 7y ago
I'm not a vegan. I'm a proud carnivore. I've never considered what BK and McD serve to be "meat". So it is unsurprising that a vegetarian would not consider an impossible burger not "un-meat" either. It&#x

Good argument, but counter: No they won't because china doesn't give a crap about the environment. If coal or hydro or whatever is cheaper they will use it first.

I'm seriously saying that burning coal isn't that much worse and not that much difference. People who think that solar is better are just fooling themselves. There is no free lunch and those solar panels are going to wear out, so

Well, it's not mom&dads basement, but it will have to do. Seriously, do I detect in this article a slight bias against "boomers and xoomers"? A slight avoidance of issues? If I come home from $job 6-7 days a week, which t

So great and all that, but what about the jobs? And "despoiling", I've been there, it was fine. Beautiful. So was it really worth killing even more of our careers? Bet the earth "as a whole" is better now that Chine

OMG. 1. UNIX != Linux 2. Painful to you does not mean universally qualified "SUCKS". I'm at a loss what the alternative is, maybe you can't understand a CLI, or something. 3. I figured it out. Here I fixed the headline:

"coders get high salary, prestige, and stock options. The people who do community management—on which the success of many tech companies is based—get none of those." This is so wrong minded. "coders" no, Engineers, yes.

Nonsense. The hacker ethos is to tinker and learn and there is a very high degree of regard for technical competence. Conversely, incompetence, laziness, especially blatantly so, especially publically is the biggest dick move there is. Wa

I don't agree. At all. Forget C/C++. Build a microprocessor in VHDL or Verilog. This is a common task in many universities with better EE or CSE disciplines. Do these folks understand Java? Or modern C/C++. Well they do much

I'm only at 0.5 and I do fairly well... Key is that it's not in crystal clear focus at the semiconductor physics or Node.js levels, it still pretty close everywhere else. Not only is it possible, but it is important to demand.

Are you saying that the term "SJW" must be used ironically, or else I am stupid and racist? Is this ironic enough?
