PSA: Grew up pretty poor. One of those people that just got lucky and was never seriously injured since I didn't have health insurance until I went to university. Again, I was one of those people that always struggled to read for exten

Not sure you read these responses, but thanks, appreciate your thoughtful response. Definitely wish I had said what I said differently - you're right - it was an emotional response. I was in the middle of a busy day and didn't hav

This new UI is exactly what I've been waiting - I've been wanting to switch off chrome for the same reason I switched off of android - to simply diversify the services I use a little bit. The old Firefox UI always felt old fashion

I agree with you, I'm just not one for hyperbole. It's harder than we expected, but not impossible. To say you can barely get by with your 120k salary when there are people getting by on 40k is offensive. Believe me, I know what i

That is admittedly a tougher situation - my comment was geared towards someone making 100k as this post's theme has been "technical workers". Your situation is definitely tough and would probably mean having to live way out o

I'm very happy that there are people out there calling this stuff out and fighting the good fight because that's how progress is made. It makes me especially happy because practically speaking, day to day, I really don't care

It's interesting to watch the game of telephone unfold right before your eyes. >>> Google has already poached Apple's lead chip architect in June of this year. No where has it been mentioned that the person they poached w

actually question - that video shows an ipad - does that mean you don't need the fancy new camera to do that?

Interesting - thanks for sharing. I actually thought the trajectory app was pretty cool.

Grew up in the hood. Shitty grades until high school. Went to university, killed it. Transferred to top tier university - 20 years old. Story changes here: Family history of depression; mine starts to surface Academically competitive envi

I think what you're saying is that if a manager can't adequately track what their team is working on and how they are doing, they put the burden of that gap in communication on the developers. This is a valid point, some kind of a

Right, that is why companies like google and Facebook who do a ton of research in hiring play such an emphasis on academic achievement, especially in younger employees. I think saying that being good at achool doesn’t make you good at your

As a product manager for one of the big tech companies in the bay area, I agree. Most problems that we solve on a daily basis aren't cutting edge, they are complicated business logic or customer facing UI that needs to be tested more t

This got a chuckle out of me. Really though, what does this mean for people who work in Software? Take a more complicated project than you think you can handle? More speaking engagements (assuming you don't do that regularly?) Asking p

I don't mean to preach, but that is a damn good article, don't just read the comments, read it. So many nuggets, particularly around the maturation process that is mentioned in college where one goes from having a "dualistic&

On a sidenote, interestingly enough since I installed the iOS 11 beta, I haven’t used my echo dot nearly as much. Hey Siri, do this works well enough and is a little more practical since I always have my phone. She can do a lot of the same

I found this: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2010/dec/21/bed-of-procrus... Does he go into detail about these in his book? Some of these are clever but did he write some substance behind these quips?

For the 16+8 routine, does anyone have an idea of how you're supposed to carb cycle?

I got you - I'll take a look. My main issue with apps and even paper notebooks is every time you go to the gym you have to take an action. If I lay out a schedule for 6 weeks with exactly what I'm going to do with dates, all I hav

This is very cool. I've always wanted to create an app that optimized for exactly something like this. Like a Zenefits almost for personal life.

This is a nice list. Some things I've used at various points in the past for specific goals: -My fitness pal for tracking food -Spreadsheets for tracking workouts. I found it worked easier if I just listed everything I was going to do

Late to the party but wanted to share my experience. I was an Applied Math major at Berkely. Why? When I was in 7th grade, I had an old school Russian math teacher. She was tough, not one for niceties, but extremely fair. One day, being the

That's kind of the point I was trying to make though. Isn't planning an escape a display of those traits? Planning an elaborate escape, securing cash, biding your time, roping others in - isn't that a display of controlling y

My dad is in construction and I thought I'd chime in with another practical reason. Once you're building at larger scales, the cost of materials between a luxury condo and a subluxury condo are different, but not astronomically so

I've never understood how escapees are smart enough to put together an elaborate escape plan, but then don't have the sense to lay low. Sometimes I think there are plenty of people who escape but it's not publicized so as to

As much as I personally dislike Google, I have to agree with you here.

That's an interesting approach, but I wonder if you're screening for people who can speak and code vs just people who can code. I'm a product manager and I suspect I would do pretty well in this type of interview unless the

I will never do business on coinbase again. Over the past few years, they are always down at the most inopportune time. I wouldn't trust them at this point. No, I don't have alternatives, no I don't want to divulge details, j
