Luck is a short term fluctuation in Texas Hold'em. Over the long term, the fluctuations of luck smooth out. A given action could win or lose on one hand, but over the long term, the return (or loss) will reflect the strength of the dec

Tor has similar constraints with the design of the TOR service as the US government has with the Constitution. Which I suppose is why you have groups like ANTIFA ready to trade blows and hackers ready to take down sites. You have the right

This seems like a non-statement. It's obvious that violence isn't protected under freedom of speech. There are no arguments on that point. > If white supremacists march into our towns armed to the teeth and with the intent to h

I'm guessing they don't need this to attract more users, rather it's probably more of a defensive move. Add the functionality to keep other possible platforms from coming out of nowhere. FB understands (as does Netflix, HBO,

Sure, and if they only took in contractors working from these other relatively cost of living areas, then we may not see these sorts of articles. That's not to say that people working for Facebook won't be homeless at times, but a

Look for a different job? Work with a different team? Change your mindset from programming focus to a customer story focus? Start your own business? If you don't feel driven within the environment that you're in, maybe it's t

You have the opposite problem. You need more emotion. It's the emotional connection to your work which enabled you to go on those binges. With no emotional connection, you wouldn't be driven to do any programming at all, let alone

I first became aware of these sorts of books through airport bookstores. There is a rack of bestsellers in each one that I have been to (I don't fly often). Easy reads, many of them written by reporters and a well fitting impulse buy f

Product demo should probably be specific to your session. It's great to be able to try it. But unmoderated user content front and center on your main page doesn't work so well. ETA: More specifically, there was a lot of flashing o

This is often a signal for bullshit though. If people can't comprehend what you're doing, it's often because that's not their job. It doesn't have to be hard to be incomprehensible. A large code-base built in the mo

Change your mindset? If not you, then who? If there were someone better positioned for the role in which you feel an imposter, then you wouldn't be there. There probably are people who are smarter than you are who _could_ take the role
