I always find it weird how people have believes and stick to them instead of having a curious mind and question or challenge their own thoughts.

That's why I explicitly said "about a certain topic". I have no clue if he knows something about raising kids. I trust PG for knowledge about startups. That's it.

Well, my solution is not trying to solve humanities problem you know, it's just trying to solve my own problem. And I'm just guessing I'm not the only person who has this problem. So how to vet people? Well, Paul Graham start

I think Google PageRank has lost the SEO battle. My proposed solution: People sign their articles with a key, and I specify for which topics I trust certain people. I trust Paul Graham on the topic 'startups', so anything that he

I would say the big difference is that tweets are very short-lived, and blog posts evergreen. Sure you have thousands of followers, but nobody will see your tweet 5 days from now. With blog posts, you might not have thousands of followers,

I have a casio g-shock MTG with solar and radio sync that I bought more than 10 years ago. Wear it almost every day. Battery indicator is still at full. Once I had to buy a small metal rod (for a few euros) for the metal strap, and still go

I think you watched too many movies. In real life this even happens to people from the west working there. They need your passport to take a copy, and then it's gone. You're going to fight them then and there? Good luck with that,

This closely resembles the value that I can provide to a company, but I want to add something on top of that. A manager can assign me any task, and know that it will get done. When there are blockers, the manager is notified. I think this i

Practically speaking, you just want shared memory in your threads. What would a shared heap offer that shared memory can't?

How many users will stay on Twitter because of this? And how many will leave because of it? My guess: it's an extra indication that Twitter is not a reliable platform to build an audience. Billionaires are billionaires because they bui

You do realise that becoming a 10x dev will mean you're getting underpaid? It's better to become a 0.1x developer so you're sure you're getting the better end of the deal ;).
