Yes. This is the piece people don't seem to understand. Bankruptcy doesn't ruin your life. It just makes it hard to get credit for seven years.

If unionization were bad for employees, I'd expect the employers to be able to make that case persuasively. If they don't, I assume there's not much of a case to be made.

There's more space between generations these days. Gen X mostly doesn't have grandkids yet.

Shouldn't an HTTP request library make async available? HTTP is the textbook example for async.

No, because the VC money is equity rather than debt. Profitability doesn't include "make sure the owners get some cash." It just means you made more money than you spent this quarter.

Metric countries use 2 meters, and it's determined by how far droplets fly when you talk/cough/sneeze. If covid were only transmitted via droplets, 6 feet/2 meters of distance would be enough. Alas.

"Eradicate" is a very strong word. We haven't eradicated measles or diphtheria, either. I think everyone would be pretty happy to get covid-19 down to the same incidence as measles.

I have written both PHP and JS for a living since about 2005 (for my sins) and I can tell you PHP has gone through at least as much of an evolution as JS. Neither one feels anything like its 2005 ancestor.

> Excel never works for math, at any scale. That is patently untrue. I've borrowed and lent money based on Excel spreadsheets, more than once. That's small-scale math with real-life consequences, and Excel is an excellent tool

This is perfect. FB quits Europe, a European competitor springs up, the whole world joins it because of network effects, and we all get European data-safety laws applied to our personal data.

There's plenty of competition in this space - it's not like Airtable invented the genre. Smartsheet predates it by far and went public two years ago.

In this particular case it was an engineering manager position. Diplomacy is part of the job description.

The last ex-Amazonian I interviewed managed to express his discomfort with Amazon without "badmouthing" anything or anyone. I was impressed with his diplomacy. We hired him.

This is absolutely fair. When I ask people coming from Amazon why they left, I am very carefully listening to whether they like how Amazon treats its people or not. If I were interviewing an ex-Facebook employee, I'd want to hear some

The concept is applicable to relational databases in general, and it's a good idea. ETA: The point here is not the syntax, it's "don't leave race conditions sitting around in your upserts." Whatever RDBMS you'r

Depends where you live. Where I live now, I filter all my drinking water. Across town where I grew up, the tap water tastes so good you could bottle and sell it. Both places have safe water; it's just a question of how it tastes, and t

Well - not me personally. I'm already in the system. (The one way to be sure Mormons won't have you baptized after your death: join up beforehand!) I didn't mean to imply that proxy baptism is a bad thing. I just meant it&#x2

It'll be tougher and probably take longer, but there's no real reason it can't happen. You'll notice there's nothing in the Book of Mormon about LGBTQ+ issues. Everything church leaders have said about it is quoting
