You seriously have no respect for private property? Could you elaborate on this - I don't think I understand what you have written as-is.

I find this interesting because instead of choosing to find a different cabin and reward another AirBnb host that was not racist (vote with your wallet), the author went out of their way to still do business with this host. It seems like th

If you take no deductions then I agree your taxes are pretty straightforward - you owe a percentage of what you earned and must reconcile that with whatever you have already paid. If your tax situation is more complicated, it's much ha

I'm guessing that's implied since people would not longer 'have' to work. Why compete in the sock market when I can survive and not compete?

In larger organizations it is very easy to not have any idea what version is currently deployed. I worked for a company that cut SaaS releases every two weeks, but for various reasons the deployed version might be 1-4 months behind current

This is pretty interesting, but I don't know how useful it would be for me. Part of why I feel that way would be just because I don't have those use cases. I guess part of it is I don't use GitHub as a UI to my repos either.

I think the site is nice - it's clean and directly to the point. No huge hero and no click-throughs to get to the meat of your project. Prices for your posters seem entirely reasonable. Tangent: I don't understand the fascination

Why not? I find your perspective interesting because I much prefer this style of interview.

It sounds like you are saying it is better just because it is being written from scratch. I don't plan on contributing or writing any plugins to Vis (or vim) so I don't really care about what the 'guts' of the project lo

A window is a vulnerability into my house, but it is not designed for passage in the same way that a backdoor is. There is a subtle difference between a backdoor and a vulnerability that is worth respecting, in my opinion.

I think it's still pretty friendly to hobbyists (throw up a quick Flask app for a demo, etc), but it's probably no longer very friendly to 'get everything for free'ists (like 24/7 compute, >512MB ram, etc). The b

I think salary and compensation don't correlate to the worth of a human being, but they do directly correlate with the value that the human being provides to a company. I feel pity for you if you consider your salary or other compensat
