Well, first of all, ouch. Sure, of course you're right about "product of any significance" and I mentioned one myself in my post - Windows. The more complex the project/team is, the fewer people will be productive in 24-

The best hires I've ever made have started submitting code reviews within 24-48 hrs of being onboarded. Sure it's not for something like Microsoft Windows, but still this has been a hallmark positive indicator of a good hire for m

Ohhh, I didn't know that it included China! I thought it was just US, UK, France, and Russia

The Chinese government you mean? I'm talking about international court, sanctions.. honestly I don't know what tools are available, but seems to me if most of the world agrees on something, they can make it into reality. Besides t

I think if it can be proven that it came from their lab, A LOT of entities (companies, countries, and... individuals?) will be looking for reparations. Considering how many lives have been lost, impaired, companies bankrupt, money lost, etc

I was wondering about this. Because yeah these minks don't grow up in the wild, but at the same time, domestication is an actual evolutionary process. So can they be considered domesticated just because they were raised in a cage?

by kevinstubbs 5y ago
Well to be pedantic for fun, those minks aren't "wild". A quote from your reference: >the virus that causes COVID-19, on mink farms in Denmark.

I did try Hellotalk actually - and it lead to spending a week with a Russian family in Sochi during the World Cup in 2018! The thing about Hellotalk if you're serious though, is that it will take _twice_ the amount of time to get pract

I was self-studying Russian for quite some time, with decent progress. But when I came to Seoul and ran into some native Russian speakers, I discovered that I could barely put my sentences together in real-time. I made some changes to my ap

Ah I wish, those would get far far higher. No this is what we see at typical online newspapers from purely remnant advertising (not taking into account direct sales).

LOL, interesting response. Well feel free to reach out to me (check my profile) and let me know why. I'm very curious :)

Hey, I run an ad tech company. Our targets for US traffic are about $10 USD per thousand page views. This is multiples more than what you would get from AdSense, plus we help with strategy and integration. Besides that, the author did menti

"piscina" in Italian means "pool". A library for worker pools simply named "pool" in Italian doesn't seem that strange :)

Cool to see this. I and surely many others in game development independently thought of doing this 5+ years ago. Fascinating to think that no matter how much software the world writes, we will keep finding entirely new ways to add value by

It's a comical comparison, but do any companies actually measure progress like this without even looking at the end result? Presumably if velocity stays high but everything is broken, somebody will say something (and hopefully not just

Actually I don't mind at all if they move to Berlin. In fact I'm thinking to set up an office there because that's where a lot of talent in the EU ends up anyways (as you know). P.S. I don't think them moving to London i

Fantastic, thank you! I've registered and will post there for sure.

I'm really interested in finding full-stack dev talent in Portugal, but not sure where to look. I've tried LinkedIn, Indeed, etc. but /shrug. Any ideas? We need to make a few hires, but sourcing talent is either more time con

I imagine the US has a ton of leverage in such negotiations. Something along the lines of "give us a good price on this to make us look good or else maybe we'll actually do something about the ridiculous price gouging for medicine

by kevinstubbs 6y ago
@fortydegrees, if you would make $5k/mo with Adsense, then you can make $10-40k/mo if you worked with my company instead. I'm not sure if that helps your leverage with equity negotiations or raising external money, but it wil

Pretty much. It's also quite important to strengthen muscles that work in tandem with the knees, get your vitamins, be smart with your running shoes etc. I've gone through my fair share of injuries to ramp up to 100km/week on

There's actually evidence that running regularly strengthens your knees. https://www.runnersworld.com/health-injuries/a32598733/is-ru...

What about a fleet of automated drones/machines which clean the panels by blowing air? I don't know, but it seems like physically scrubbing the panels would take more machinery (heavier), more moving parts (break down more easily)

Interestingly, content collapse was one of the most salient ideas I took away from reading Fahrenheit 451. Of course, the book took it to an extreme that will never become a reality.. Social media may be incentivized to keep their users wit

Why can't it be prevented? Doesn't seem like they should have much difficulty recognizing that it was a screenshot of a "fleet", but other commenters make it sound like it's too difficult. So I'm wondering what

Since "implies that the site is somehow automatically identifying where the virus is" is obviously impossible with current tech & infrastructure, the next most "real-time" interpretation is that it has the most up-to

Very curious that this came just a couple weeks after they announced licensing their first drug compound (using data from the test kits?) to the Spanish firm Almirall [0,1]. Anybody have any ideas about this? Why would they slow down the &q

This along with the comment about them being in the SP500 got me interested. They are doing more than just the site we all immediately thought of when we saw "TripAdvisor". There's also "InstantBooking" [0], widgets

Just a programmer, so excuse the lay explanation. My understanding is that the goal is to get the CO2 effectively locked in a cycle. Trees naturally spread themselves, obviously, and I would expect the net growth of trees to be > 1 annua

I agree with your overall arguments. However, I did take issue with one point. It's unfair to use Mafia bombings in Napoli as a reflection of all Southern Italy when Napoli is a notoriously dangerous area and has been at times even con
