Toxic cultures either come after the success or exist because one extreme talent allows it. I've seen both

This is such egoistic bullshit

You can use saga if it feeds your ego, sure. Redux is a simple tool and thunk is a simple library, and they both do their job.

The ecosystem is quite dependent on fiat crosses... the U.S. government alone has the power and the tools to destroy crypto. You can't hurt the rentiers, e.g. large American banks, and expect them to not get compensation or destroy you

Why would the powers that be allow this to happen? I don't understand this fairy tale view

That is a really hard job. Understanding people is a system just like programming except there are few hard rules

The new Table APIs are fantastic. There used to be a lot of magic, but now all the selection handling is composable. Big props for the v1!

America is all about revenue. Never in a thousand years would politicians agree to do this. Walking and biking is high on utility and low on revenue.

I agree but I think the large majority of my old college classmates are doing this in America. I moved to Europe because I couldn't stand it.

But percentage-wise they are the most atheist country in the world, right? That's at least what I thought off the top of my head

LinkedIn (i.e., data.com) is far and away the best tool for recruiting/accessing GTM professionals. And it's in China. That doesn't sound like that bad of a niche to me.

Because it's a lie. A lot of natural gas plants came online in 2017, which makes it a lie.

Pulling out is specifically prohibited in the Bible. So is oral sex. But nobody gives a shit. The funny thing about religion is that there's so much nonsense in their official texts that you can make it mean whatever you want :)

This headline is such clickbait. Netting out all fossil fuels is silly. Natural gas is alive and well and growing quite quickly, while coal is suffering.

The horrible thing about generalizations is that they are so painstakingly accurate sometimes, and they hit so close to home that people hate them. Americans are hilariously uncultured. Do software engineers tend to be socially awkward? Yes

Too religious. China's great advantage is that they're all atheists. Highly religious societies have a strong desire for tradition, and tradition is "women don't work and have no power, corruption is rampant, new things

The problem is religion. That's why there's too many people (birth control is evil and God doesn't want it, etc.), and that's why they have a lazy culture.

> Historically I don't think so. WWII was a great leveling of the playing field. There are many times in history when Gini coefficients dropped precipitously. All the evidence points to the fact that wealth tends to accumulate in ca

Very well said. Thanks for the anecdote

Moral hazard is just a price you pay for stability. It's impossible to avoid. You need a middle ground where if you do something really stupid you're still punished but if you're "still dancing" like everyone else (

You could definitely say they can learn more in the States as the quality of basketball is higher, but they won't be paid until they're in the league.

That's a pretty bad comparison actually. They don't "have" them. It's just another place to sell your risk when you do a mortgage deal and then they repackage them and sell the end result to investors. It's nec

Because they don't understand. A common refrain about the story in the U.S. of LaVar Ball, the impetuously famous basketball dad, is that it was a huge mistake to send his kids to play in Lithuania. It's a classic example of &quot

Petrodollar is pretty outdated, the current would be Eurodollar or dollar-denominated derivatives outside the U.S.

It's not like the concept is very complicated. As soon as stuff like this goes open source/distributed, the model falls apart. The Linuxification of everything will destroy the world as we know it
