I have been using repl.it to teach coding to some high school students. Here is some feedback 1. It would be great if you gave a shell level access to the teacher/paid accounts to manage shared REPLs. When there are 100s of shared URLs

There are also other language implementation styles that get roughly the same benefit without writing async and await all over the codebase. If the implied yield at defined synchronization points coupled with a decent scheduler like in Go w

When companies gave free lunch, dinner, breakfast, hair cutting, laundry etc, weren’t those things favoring the young? For people who had family, at least for some of them, it wasn’t practical to make use of it. Now that pandemic has revers

Green threads without explicit language syntax for yielding - called goroutines influenced similar features in Kotlin. Unfortunately Kotlin is bound to working inside JVM and had to introduce “suspend” keyword. This is a friendlier world to

Similar to your argument, but another way to think is that efficiency adds dependency on a higher form of skill (ability to multi-task) or a complicated system. I dread the day when Google Maps, Traffic stats, Uber has actually delivered us

Yes, you are right about that. This situation is slightly better with AMT bracket moving up with Trump tax changes. But the basics still apply. I corrected by saying "vesting rules still apply". But the tax consequence (AMT or oth

If they exercised their stock options before they left the company, they receive all details (including executive comp). But they wouldn’t know what the other offer was. Btw this applies to those who are still employees too (if they explici

That probably creates another loophole. Even if they (big cash rich companies) hoard cash, it isn't really sitting as cash. I could claim everything except my bank's liquid cash of reserve of 10% is "invested" somewhere

Genuine question: If there was no wealth tax and your 100M remained as 100M till the end of your life (no money was spent either) - that is zero growth, wouldn't you say you have been a failure as a VC, Investor, or Startup founder?

Lowering rank of a sleazy news organization that was previously gaming the ranking... is exactly what they should do if they are keeping the end user in mind. I buy that AMP is bad and they should share revenue. It is not entirely Google’s

One question on the $70 price tag. I get that it is high compared to, say, Europe or Asia, but not by much. Comcast/Xfinity gives 1 or 1.5 TB per month for that money. Now let us compare to business connection. One would think a busine

You are correct that the “end of world” predicted in initial months didn’t play out... yet. However, I feel even this is mostly luck. We got lucky with something that can be reasonably controlled with masks and hand washing. Next pandemic w

It doesn’t take much. A small disruption in the intricate supply chain of essential food is all it takes. We may not go extinct, but we will be set back a few thousand years of development. PS: Current humans probably won’t survive without

That is a fair point. It just felt too simple for a large transaction. I guess I should be happy at how easy it was.

While I get the credit reporting agency angle, it was far more slick than typical credit verification question. A single field to enter the account number! You don’t even have to say what that number is for.
