   The best office space I've ever work at was like that. It was a relatively small part of one of MSFT buildings which Ray Ozzie carved out for the Mesh incubation. Everyone had a small private office with glass door/walls and in th

   Gerrymandering is not about creating hyper-majorities. That would be counterproductive - votes above 50% are wasted. It is about maximizing number of likely seats. Also the country has sorted itself geographically (e.g. cities vs. rural) al

   Is the disavow tool not available to those who tried to use spam links and got caught? I suspect the opposite actually. Those who automate link creation, also automate link disavowing. So the spam links probably have more penalizing effect

    I think this clarifies the whole thing: pg doesn't mind that much making Windows ecosystem a bit shittier. Not doing it purposefully, but also not feeling too bad if that is a side effect. Edit: spelling

    All your comments about practical values of C++ are good. But I would like to point to something else: C++ is a smart, deep language. I mean this in a sense that genuinely brilliant people get real intellectual satisfaction from inventing a

    I built my system in a similar way (e.g. a great Threshold S200 amplifier from the 80's cost me $700). One frustration I had was never being sure what is a good price. In part to scratch that itch (as well as the "learn Haskell" itch), I'v
