I remember reading a case where a woman was pulled over by a cop, in a pitch black area at night. She drove another mile or so before stopping when she found some light. She was arrested for "not stopping" or something along those

Maybe Google will take a bit out of Windows marketshare? It really sucks that we only have three options now - windows, mac and Linux. Two of these are owned by mega corps and the last one isn't as user friendly as the others

One piece of advice (more like a suggestion) that I can give, after working in the industry for so many years - nobody cares about your career. I've worked in 10+ places, all they cared about was getting max work done from me. I'v

Can you give an example of a web app/service that you created? Are these SaaS or content sites monetized by ads/affiliate etc?

If Dorsey banned his account, it would probably be a shitshow. Right wing trolls would come out in droves (even more than they do now). If Twitter did ban his account, what about other equally bad but smaller accounts? How many can they ban

Maybe a middle ground, like what Louis C.K did. He was selling his videos for $5 at one point, if I remember correctly - directly from his website, cutting out the middlemen. Yes, one can buy it and send it to all their friends, but the pri

stripping DRM - is this legal? surely there must be some fine print in 2px font size somewhere in the long user agreements that nobody reads?

While everyone (biz or not) should have an emergency fund, this is not always possible. For example, restaurants - they already operate on razor thin margins, creating a 6 month emergency fund might not be that easy. Plus, this virus is lik

Any advice on how to balance learning/knowing theory vs practical stuff? As a kid, I read tons of books. While I don't regret it, I kinda wish I had spent some time outside doing socializing and physical activities. I'm in aw

I have a 2011 model Mackbook Air. While it is not the best or powerful laptop I've used, the only problem it gave me so far is the power chord (which I had to replace). It is still working after all these years. I am not a Apple fanboy

Yes, I would. Actually the higher the salary, the easier it is to give up a portion of the salary, at least for me. I understand your skepticism, but I would - I am single and my needs are small, so it is not like my kids are gonna starve.

Yes, during normal times. But these are not normal times - like, who is hiring now? If I were a top performer, I'd take a salary cut if it means saving my colleague's job. I get what you are saying though. They are a business and

These are abnormal circumstances. I wonder if it is possible to delay the layoffs by cutting salaries - maybe instead of firing 5 out of 10 equally paid people, they can cut the salaries of all 10 people by half (or something like that). An

Pakistan is putting tens of thousands of people to work (who would otherwise have no job now) planting billions of trees. My hope is that other governments will follow similar initiatives, if covid-19 lasts a few months (it looks like it is

Same experience. I learned quite a bit simply by sitting next to an exceptionally good and exceptionally nice developer who was at least a decade older than the rest of the team and enjoyed helping others. He rarely got stressed even in cru

Same here - Fox news is on a whole new level. It is like the onion, except it stops being funny after about 30 seconds. Also wasn't this the same channel that argued that they are allowed to present false news (or something similar)?

Not sure what this has got to do with empathy. If rich people don't get favorable mortgage, it is at max an annoyance to them. They are not going to be homeless or going to ask for food stamps. If a normal family with one home and one

Why exactly should we care about wealthy borrowers at this point, when millions of people are losing their jobs/health insurance...? So what if they get told no - it is not like they are living in a 500 sq ft apartment anyway
