It only takes a couple of hours to start being productive while using it though. All the commands you need to know are add, commit, push, pull, branch and checkout. Perhaps add log and reset to that list if you make errors.

It's not just people looking only for money that are jumping into the field. I know of several classmates who started off as math/physics/economics majors, took a couple of CS classes because they heard "everyone needs t

There are lots of alternatives for each category of products - Zappos for shoes/clothes, Mouser for electrical components, etc. though there is no one competitor to Amazon that is as comprehensive as it is. Edit: Turns out Zappos is ow

In my experience this is not the case. You could live on campus, but I've never seen any member of the admissions committee in person, and any faculty living in your same dorm have no idea what you wrote on your application.

Virtually every industrialized economy since the Industrial revolution has developed in part by 'borrowing' or stealing existing technology. Not making a moral judgment here, but economically it makes no sense to reinvent the whee

How do you decide how much to work in a week, or when to stop working each day? Personally, it feels like having unstructured work hours leads to an implicit competition between everyone to do the most work humanly possible, and any leisure

Computer Science is pretty different from arithmetic (heck, that's a philosophical question in itself). Looking at the table of contents, he doesn't seem to be saying algorithms or data structures have ethics - but that a lot of r

There are different views, but I like to think of philosophy as mapping the terrain of thought. Most scientists don't think much about the scientific method even though they implicitly apply it, but it's nice every once in a while

I don't think it's half as bad as that. Google Flights, Translate, the G-Suite, Firebase and TensorFlow have all been good products/software, though perhaps not world-changing.

I'm no economist, but that 5 million saved will be spent on other job creating activities. Perhaps it won't be a 1:1 replacement, but it's certainly not the elimination of 50 jobs.

This article strikes me as extraploating a select few experiences to make far reaching conclusions. 99% of the people at yale are not children of billionaires or statesmen. They are children of doctors, lawyers, programmers, etc. who are we

The article does say the percentage of people accepting full time offers from Facebook has dropped from 85% to 35-55%. I imagine its far worse for Palantir. Sure, they can always get more applicants from somewhere, but in all likelihood the

I find modern philosophy papers to be far more interesting, readable and concise than some of these texts, which are often pretty circuitous. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a good site that curates good papers.

It doesn't have to be low rise housing. Look at Singapore for an example of how high density, high-rise housing can coexist with plentiful public spaces.

When reputable institutions refuse money, they make a strong statement about the virtues of the donor. This can turn the donor into an international pariah and make it harder to gloss over abuses/crimes back home. Of course, whether th

There are arm rests between the seats if you look closely in the first few pictures. It seems like you have to pull them up from the seat bottom.

I guess I would still be impressed, not by the sincerity of the greeting, but by the fact that the airline pays enough attention to the small details to actually train attendants to care about passengers birthdays among all the other things
