The implication that he's not doing his job because of his heritage is still pretty bad. It minimizes the judge's experience and boils him down to a skin tone. He has a conflict of interest because of his heritage? Appeal, sue him

Great, now make it a first class citizen in compose and mix in docker-machine's provisioning capabilities!

I imagine it would be like code coverage. You don't always want to unit test every single branch and 100% doesn't mean you're bug-free, but it's still useful as a metric.

After 40 years swinging hard to the right I imagine it will take some time before brash liberalism makes a dent in living standards.

Seriously. I get more buzzed off a couple cups of coffee than vyvanse, but vyvanse helps me stay focused much longer. I'd have no chance of attaining the life I want to live without antidepressants and some stimulants, the weight of li

The house would be the opposite of a fresh start, and would likely hand it to Trump (or whatever right-leaning 'independent' might happen to show up).

Even piecing together systems out of existing components significantly benefits from knowledge of first principles.

I was suspicious when every prediction was perfect and I figured it out after it started talking about the stock market. Read much more like fiction at that point.

Robert Axtell has done a lot of interesting work on agent-based modeling of economic systems [1]. He has a new book coming out this year about simulating national firm growth patterns based on his recent research [2], which could provide an

"Why try to start a business when if you succeed, you won't keep that much of the winnings?" Some people start businesses to solve legitimate problems. I suspect that higher corporate tax rates would encourage the average Sil

`eval $(docker-machine env docker)` is great, I can stick it in scripts and separate my development environment from testing, staging, and production for every project I need to track. It works on Windows, OS X, and Linux so all my develope

What would you say is a good amount of equity for being an early engineer (effectively technical lead) at a seed-stage startup? I'm at my first and don't know if I'm being compensated fairly, though I do enjoy the work greatl

It was explained to me this way: in the US executive boards are unevenly weighted toward CO interests. In countries where wage experts and workers are more likely to sit on boards the ratio isn't absurd because boards are less likely t

I did not misinterpret you, I understand fully what you are trying to say. I disagree with you. You and I are in the fortunate positions of being able to service debt and even avoid it entirely. Many people are not. Lenders have the ability

It's more complicated than that. You need to live in a cheap part of town to afford rent but your city is un-walkable and has poor public transportation? Buy or lease a car so you can reliably get to work on time. You have a family and

It's not that bizarre, the suburbs surrounding Detroit include some of the wealthiest areas in the nation. Also, downtown Detroit is booming. I visited in July and it was night and day compared to when I previously visited three years

That's just enough for the YC social network to incorporate OpenAI researchers, and Sam knows it. YC folks will be at the water coolers and ping pong tables with OpenAI folks, and once the OpenAI folks move into another office they&#x2

Sounds to me like YCombinator wants to fuel their growth by creating these tools for their companies to use. The YC business model is absolutely brilliant, but I can't see this being some purely altruistic mission. Or if it is then I a
