Yeah but in reality what happens is that if you redistribute too much, you stifle productivity to the point where you have no improvements at all, and your mean will start to regress. Why? Because you have removed all incentives for people

Yeah, trying to have a society that is fair and equal, is nothing but an systemised and institutionalised tall poppy syndrome that leads to stagnation

It's just that fairness is the wrong goal to use, because things can always be seen as unfair from some point of view. It's better to simply try to make things more logical/less random, and also more productive.

It's not uncommon among leftist to suggest systemic punishments and disadvantages for people who are born with certain physical and/or mental strengths and talents.

I absolutely agree, the idea of a fair society needs to go away, it's just a dead end that only leads to fighting over crumbs and stifling productivity, what we need to do is get rid of jealousy and resentment.

Yeah but the point is that any attempt of redistribution in the name of fairness, is also equally unfair from the opposite perspective. So there is no way to make anything "more fair", if you take from one person to give to anothe

Discover is absolutely useful, but I think Pandora is light years ahead. Is there no way to play the suggestions as a playlist? * iPhone app gives way too little feedback when it becomes unresponsive. I'm never sure if I should click a

So many hoops you have to jump through to "do a startup" (I want to differentiate between starting your own company). It's starting to look like less freedom and more BS compared to working for BigCo.

This is also why you should use pen and paper and not try to keep everything in your head?

It doesn't have to be about being an anti-social/introverted person or not. I love to have small talk with people about their personal lives, but not while I'm working, simultaneously. I want to work, and only focus on work

Yeah but I've seen several people who tries node dismiss it on the grounds that this programming style is immensly complex and incomprehensible. In this guys words "The async-style of programming is almost entirely inaccessible to my brain"

Isn't client side Javascript programming also async event-driven in the exact same way as node? Why isn't anybody whining about how terrible this is when writing client side Javascript?

Very interesting. I think you can also turn this around: 2000 Twitter followers. 900 blog subscribers. 800 Facebook friends. 700 LinkedIn contact. Countless presentations. You can't be shy." to say: "you havn't made any presenta

You have a point, declarative approaches almost never delivers as promised, which is "you don't have to worry about implementation". In reality, as you say, you end up with edge cases where you still need to dive into the implementation in

One thing that he fails to mention is that this only works if you live with a partner, as he does, since you're guaranteed some company throughout the day. Otherwise it's going to be pretty damn lonely, since you'll be in bed by 10 pm when

Your goal: A resource containing a method for learning, in a non-insulting way, for people to use. What happened: People reporting of being insulted. So you failed, why not use the feedback to improve the thing instead of making it personal

We do agile and planning poker in my team. The downsides is that all user stories must strictly be phrased from business/end user point of view, and there is no time to do any technical investigation before estimating. How it works is you s

Interesting indeed. But weird that he uses obfuscated code when doing a piece of explaining how it's done. Or do people actually write for loops like those? :P
