Is there a reason for that other than just tradition/history? Sometimes when things differ from our norms, there may be a reason or an advantage that we are unaware of. Just curious. Thanks in advance!

I wonder if the GP is complaining about the delivery of said welfare because at least on paper that welfare should be happening. Yet GP believes there are nearly zero benefits. Therefore, I wonder if there is a "disconnect" betwee

Agreed but my point was that in order for such a lawsuit to succeed, it must clear such a hurdle that it leaves little room for anyone to doubt the justifications. IANAL as well so this is just me wondering and hoping someone who's mor

I wonder if that may be intentional so that when people to litigate it, it's going to be pretty obvious and leave very little room for doubt.

I've really embraced type annotation and mypy for Python. Partly because it really helps the Python language server in VS Code with autocomplete. It has also saved me a few times in pointing out some type mismatches and forcing me to r

I've had the same questions myself. America has this dual system of capitalism and democracy. We are greatly affected by both. When the two exists in our borders, we are able to sort of use one to effect the other, etc. but globalizat

Wow. That's funny because that's the exact evolution that happened at my current company (GoDaddy points to AWS and AWS does the rest) and we're now a unicorn. Being a unicorn is not a reflection of engineering quality though

by hangonhn 6y ago
I really dislike GoDaddy but this is not the best signal to use. A lot of startups are rather low in engineering talent early on when they're trying to find market fit and make a product. A lot of things about startups are just crap ea

I see what you're saying. Here's the CNBC version of it: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/04/bill-gates-sr-helped-howard-... It sounds like the Starbucks owners already offered it to Schultz and gave hi

The Starbucks story involving his father is incredible. Schultz had actually left Starbucks and started his own coffee chain (Il Giornale) when the founders of Starbucks didn't want to expand the number of stores. They mostly just want

I'll echo this sentiment and add that during my career I've experienced a number of ups and downs. During the downs, when it felt like I've wasted years of my life for something that went nowhere, what always felt worthwhile

I'm sure you probably already know this but for people who don't follow music as much, Baba Yetu, was the first song from a video game to win a Grammy. It was originally sung by a Stanford a cappella group ( http://www.

This is an interesting observation because historically in East Asia the two are treated as a continuum. It's not uncommon to see former criminals or gangs being employed to fight other criminals in pre-modern China. A similar practice

Yeah (and thanks since I didn't know it had a name). I guess that would be some kind of orbital mutually assured destruction since that kind of situation would hurt all communication satellites in nearby orbits. And there's a good

Right, so if you can't go through the crust then going up would be another option. Over long enough of a distance, say NYC to London (or even farther), the overhead of going up first and then a "straight" line horizontally (i

I imagine if anyone destroyed that many satellites in one orbit, the amount of debris flying around would make replacing them pretty difficult without first dealing with all the debris zooming around.

A possible use for SpaceX's Starlink as well. Starlink doesn't have to follow the curvature of the earth so over long enough of a distance it is actually shorter and quicker to use Starlink.

Oh wow! I've never even considered that. I wonder if the dogs pick up on subtle behavior cues from their handlers, which the handler may not even be aware of. The dog ends up giving a seemingly legit outlet for some unconscious bias.

Dumb question but if there is no collusion between the companies in a duopoly, is it still illegal in the US? Or does it have to be a monopoly to be illegal?

That's a fair point but if you can afford two, buying twice the amount is actually cheaper since you can buy it at Costco, etc. I do have two rolls of garbage bags, etc. but I also recognize it's not doable by everyone. GP's
