I think they mean that this rare combination won’t have the anonymity granted to larger groups. Some stat sheet will say “black Hispanics make $X” and it’ll be obvious to everyone working there that it maps 1:1 with Dave

I agree. I can believe any 1 or maybe 2 things on the list, but in aggregate, it's complete fantasy. There's just no way this kid has enough time and brain cycles to execute all these ventures with any level of quality. If it&#x27

Paywalled, so I can’t directly address the points in the article. Do humans not have thousands of years of genocide each other long before Facebook? It’s hard for me to believe that if only Facebook did not exist, everything would be fine i

They did make the world a slightly place. Ppl use their tools and are happy. What’s the better alternative? That it never existed?

That’s pretty much the point though isn’t it? Everything is a bit (or a lot) better to the human brain when you add sugar

I mean to be fair, GP real did go out of his/her way to type specifically “original Xbox” in a story that had nothing to do with Xboxes. If he’s wants to include that, isn’t it a service to follow up on it?

The context of the article is that you should work out a little each day and is about advice on how to keep basic fitness. In that case, no, steroids do nothing for you. If you go ahead and take steroids and do your (from the article) “ Jus

I bought a house and was required to wire transfer the down payment. Would it have been reasonable for me to drop off a briefcase of cash? Was this transaction somehow unreasonable?

I’m a former high school athlete who has seen a lot of class mates juice. Steroids help someone who is working out intensively get 10 to 20% more out of their effort (at a trade off for health later on). It does not do anything for someone

All you have to do is take the company's rev/profit and divide it by the number of employees (factoring in how much you pay an employee) So yeah if MSFT can make 3 billion dollars with 1000 engineers, and Google makes 1 billion do

Storage capacity is a part of the eXperience story. Before Gmail's groundbreaking 1GB limit, you had offerings like 15mb or 100mb from yahoo or hotmail. What that meant for your day to day experience would be that you would literally r

No, it’s not a trade off because the 2 concepts are not mutually exclusive. Through innovation they can be greater than the sum of their parts. Sure, in lazy/bad games there’s trade off, but that goes for anything. Bad games have exist

I think a lot of the people don't understand the 'modes' a person can be in when playing a game. There are some games that you want to play with your full attention, and you want it to be an intense and immersive experience.

What about Italian websites that serve customers outside of Italy?

Not to me. I don't trust peoples' self assessment of their own motivations or goals. Typically they paint themselves in some sort of distorted light and it really has no effect on their actual outcomes or deliverables. Also, I can

Yeah if a doctor said “I don’t really care about my patients’ lives. I just like the power of being able to prevent death” I really think that’s perfectly fine

Yeah but it creates an societal incentive to categorize people as criminals and send them to prison. I think there’s a lot of things on the fence today where view it as not immoral, but for some reason are still crimes. For example, non vio

The 2 aren't mutually exclusive but anyone who doesn't believe in A is pretty naive. It's saying that we, keyboard warriors on a programming forum, are just as knowledgeable as e.g. Biden who has the full briefing and resourc

Yeah and Russia could have ended the war by now too by simply launching their nukes. I think it's weird you don't think anyone involved in the problem has thought of your proposed solution, or that you don't think there'

True but at the same time, Google has all sorts of weird perks that we can't opt out of and essentially pay a tax for. For example, some parts of campus have swimming pools and endless treadmill pools. I don't swim so I get zero b

No, because this entirely ignores the dimension of quality. I mean maybe they are right, but it's not considered in the analysis. The author recommends I buy Geico life insurance for $156/yr. I have Geico car insurance and have fi

To be honest, I don't know the detailed structure for this as I'm relatively young and have the luxury of it being out of mind at the moment. What I know is that you will for sure have allies that you wouldn't have on an indi

I work at Google I like that this is taken care of for me and that I don't have to spend my personal time trying to research a bunch of life insurance options and figure out what works and what doesn't. I also love that there is s

You can call it whatever you want. What I know is this would not happen to me at Vanguard. And if it did I would switch.

Except robinhood suffers major security breaches (eg Nov 21) and then that information stolen on you can be used to hack your account. Sure the investment game is the same, but step 1 is to not get hacked.
