Let's recontextualize that for you. Replace "this technology" with the mouse. No one needs a new way to interact with devices, information, etc indeed. Holding such luddite views is your right, but the rest of the more transh

Out of curiosity, did you actually use glass v1? I bought into the explorer program and didn't experience your complaints. The development experience just sucked, and the parts were under performing, and the lack of hinge made it supe

While you're not wrong in the strictest sense, I feel like this sentiment is being myopic to the point malice. The network gained from going to a university full of likeminded and talented people as well as living in a city teeming

I'd say you're best of examining what role gaming is serving for you. If you're mentally drained from work, it's likely with or without games you're not going to progress much on more coding. If you're using g

Probably because crappy audio is received better than audio out of synch from the video. Having the "bad international languge dub" effect on conferencing is distracting as hell. For what it's worth voice over IP is essential

I'd say there's more to explore with the societal effects of parasocial internet relationships than porn. Less a "competitive market of pleasure" and more a market for attention. Even a casual relationship is fairly high

You've got a couple different ideas going on there. First, you make a fantastic argument for regulating ISPs as common carriers, bummer that's up in flames, one step forward two steps back. Secondly, at least in the US, the whole

That act of breaking up and organizing tasks of the same size , that's what estimation is. This feature has these tasks, historically we complete these tasks in this time, so here's a hard minimum for a completion date (which imp

The problem with all "contract to hire" schemes is you essentially set yourself up for failure on the labor marketplace. Unless you're offering some other compensation, why would any talented candidate take your contract to o

There is a lot of value in a marketplace for discovery and consistent interface. Let us not echo the sentiment of the infamous poster suggesting dropbox would fail because "who wouldn't just spin up an ftp server backed by source

I think the need for distinction arises from the fact that nothing in the foundations of radfem that presupposes trans exclusionary ideology (especially considering the evolution of the science of gender). Trans exclusionary groups are pret

There wasn't really science that got us the 40 hour week. That was just the compromise organized labour arrived at in the early 20th century after blow back from unconstrained work weeks (there average man working in 1900 was estimated

Long form discussion is fairly orthogonal to "upvote" based social media in my appraisal. The simple fact that you choose to post your response here instead of one of the 'chan' style boards signals that you're real

Even assuming you had any facts to base your assumption, why is that a bad thing? There is nothing holy about work, especially work for the enrichment of others. I, an i suspect many people here, get paid handsomely to move bytes from one

Are there many (any?) jobs where you can go and publicly announce that you're not only unqualified but extremely proud to be so and not suffer consequences?

There's a point where bending over backwards for "world views" crosses the line. Where that might be is hard to say, but Im going to venture that advocating (mass) murder is definitely on the wrong side of things. There is su

I'd like to propose that "cost of living" calculators are extremely skewed when trying to compare extremely urban (nyc etc) vs less (or non) urban areas. For example manhattan might have incredible price/sq ft for rent;

That's demonstrably false. Hell you can just look to startups created by new grads and dropouts to confirm your view point is inane. Today's college grads are better equipped to do a wider breath of work than any other time in h

I'd argue a video call is worse for facial nuances. The nature of having both camera and screen is the person you're teleconferencing is never actually looking at you. Modern VR headsets already have eye tracking, it's not

A friend of mine still will do "mixed tapes". She's just moved to cheap usb sticks instead of cds, because like you said, most people don't have a cd player anymore. USB stick and a custom sticker goes a long way to capt

The huge thing for python is it's ability to call out to lower level (faster) languages. From a machine learning point of view the ability to stuff data in to buffers cheaply to be consumed by C/fortran is what's important (a

No one paying for a room in Williamsburg (or most of the other high costs neighborhoods) wants a "full house and a yard". I really don't understand the American obsession with huge living spaces. Just increases the amount yo

I can't comment on every sector but it absolutely exists in the financial technology realm. Plenty of people working in tech don't view it as an evolving set of skills and it's common to have candidates come with 1 - 2 decade

The amount of hate in the us political discord is a feature. A beautiful result of convincing one side that the other needs to be killed (and that is darkly literal). At its core it's all about distracting the populace and getting eve

If you don't care too much for video conferencing why not use something like Mumble[0]. Super simple to install, super easy to maintain (even as your org grows and security rules get complex), supports as many users as you have bandwid

I didn't mean to come off quite as harsh as that. There are plenty of goal sets that align well to being outside of the city; but I do think that y'all are the minority. When playing the numbers in trying to staff huge multi thou
