We should not ignore the value of signalling. There is little impact you can have as an individual. Reducing food waste or recycling have almost no direct impact but, it shows that you care and people respond. Politicians, and companies res

The ‘Google is an advertising company’ is said often on HN. I agree to some extent but, doesn’t that imply that every newspaper company is also just an advertising company? Google solves a real problem and this works well, for them, with an

While I agree layoffs don’t equate recession they are often a precursor. Of course hirings should be considered too. Layoffs > hirings is almost always a bad sign for the economy.

My company’s main app is built with ionic. Started with v 1.x and is now on 4.11. I love it but, our app was mostly aimed at mobile. It has since become much more desktop focused and we often have to create our own components. (Which is rea

I think of it this way: We are already running simulations of the universe with very simple models. Imagine 1000 years from now what type of models we could be using. Perhaps models where every known law of physics is precisely modeled. The

I don’t think Excel is ever bashed for its primary use case. It’s when someone starts building complex, multi user applications things start to go wrong. It almost always becomes an entangled mess. And good luck to anyone taking over when t

But Slack then must rely on the security of your email. If the site is dealing with sensitive information like credit cards, this could be a no go.

Well google’s traffic CAPTCHA’s main purpose is to label a huge data set for Waze. At least it must be a huge beneficial (to google) side effect. Am I wrong?

If you are worried about Upwork's reputation, choose Toptal instead. I have no connection with them other than having worked with freelancers from them a couple of times. They've been great. I have also come to know one of their d

Been using Ionic for 4 years. I think v4 with just TSX + Redux has been really good. I’ve good things about Angular 6 but TSX is just much more intuitive to me.

That’s debatable. There are a number of ways to calculate GDP. One is the sum of value added, as in the value of the end product minus the value of input. Another is the total sum of income from labor and assets. Since it includes time spen

I think it has to with peoples inherent lack of discounting sunk costs. “We have already spent X amount. We must make sure it isn’t wasted, so let’s spend Y more and see if that’ll fix it”. At least they pulled the plug.

If anything, this is a clear illustration of poor use of probabilistic prediction. When used for investments you have many outcomes. If the model is any good, you will most of them right. In the World Cup you have very few. Even if you coun

What I’m missing from GitHub is an easy way to search for repositories by subject. Say you need to create a user admin front end you should be able to find that easily. I always end up using Google or DDG instead. Maybe MS can fix that. (in
