Agreed. Rather than targeting a specific country or specific company, make it a large category. Grey areas are where companies, regardless of national origin, can optimize and manipulate. We need to shift the conversation away from "Ch

I wonder if that might be a function of how roads near you are designed. I live in the Bay Area and there are definitely certain roads and intersections where I don't feel safe not coming to a full stop and looking both ways. It might

The problem with pinyin is that it's phonetic based and it's based on Mandarin. For large sub-populations of Chinese speakers who primarily use other dialects, it's not as intuitive -- although this is changing overtime as Ma

The Bay Area actually has quite a few. Among the more famous ones are Tassajara Zen Mountain Center (the first Zen monastery in the US) in Carmel Valley and Spirit Rock near Mt. Tam. Mountain View has a Zen meditation center that welcomes g

I remember someone lecturing about the nuclear industry mentioned that there is an inherent second mover advantage in the industry because the first mover has to figure out all the new stuff and get it approved by regulators. The second mov

Is there a reason why most molten salt reactors chose sodium? There's got to be a good reason to pick it given all its negatives (i.e. it burns in air, water, etc.).

That feature (complication in mechanical watch parlance) is older than digital watches. Some of the fanciest mechanical watches in the world will play a chime on the hour/quarter/minute. It’s called a repeater complication. They w

Agreed. I work on my own cars but they're all ICE. Once the car is jacked up onto jack stands, I feel pretty safe working on my car because there is nothing moving nor live (except for the 12v, which I can disconnect). I don't kno

Another vote for CBT. I had two painful periods of my life that lead to depressions. The first one I dealt with more or less on my own -- basically waiting it out. Eventually I got better and moved on but it took a while. The second time I

That's definitely a bad life tip. The square itself is still call "Tiananmen". Even if the Chinese government censor any mention of the massacre, simply mentioning the name of the location won't trigger it because it&#x2

I love HoMM3. Someone has even ported to Android -- in case you ever feel nostalgic. I replay it every now and then. Despite the outdated graphics, the game itself has aged really well. I still enjoy it immensely.

The bank needing the currency asks the central bank for the extra currency and it’s simply a number in a “database” somewhere. It can be done rather quickly.

Does anyone know why Python chose linked list for its frames vs an array like Ruby? I imagine both choices have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Congratulations! The IPO is a confirmation of what many of us in this field already knew: Hashicorp makes amazing tools. I love Consul so much. I'm glad the larger world will appreciate the great work Hashicorp has done as well.

Another vote for "The Box". That book was so eye opening and touches on standards, globalization, efficiency, and stevedore unions. You can even read about an early instance of a submarine patent.

What is it that you do that requires 4k? Genuinely curious. I'm a software engineer and to me 4k sounds like it wouldn't make a difference. But maybe you are one too and I just don't know any better. Thanks in advance.
