Speed limits make little sense to me... I think it should be referred to as a speed target; to imply that it is meant as both a minimum and a maximum. The real dangers are speed deltas in my opinion. Someone travelling below the speed limit

Prohibition to the rescue! We all know prohibition has the consumer at heart. I'm sure smoking tobacco post-prohibition will be much safer and more equitable for everyone!

You are correct. Companies of a certain size are most always extremely heterogenous. There are good and bad places to be in a company and everyone has a different opinion on where those places are. It also seems that you have experience wor

I agree with your overall message 100%. Big companies are like cities. There are "good" and "bad" areas and different people may draw that distinction differently. If you have mobility within the company it's not to

Remember when you used to ask your Mom / Dad, "Why?" and they'd respond with, "Because I said so." It's like that, but subtly more infuriating because it's never a single identifiable person saying &q

Yeah... scroll to main content and then all the ads / javascript / images / videos load and the main content is pushed out of view. The main content should always be visible upon page load.

It never makes sense to me when one of my ideas gets swatted down for being: "more of a thing for power users". Is that not exactly who you want to reward? The most devoted users of your product?

Personally, when I hopped back in the car after not driving for a month; it felt weird. I think that people are just de-conditioned and less cars on the road gives people false confidence in their atrophied skills.

I'm not sure they meant any language. It sounds like they're advocating for using a non-Java language that compiles to bytecode to be run on the JVM. E.g. Kotlin, Scala, Clojure, Groovy, Jython, JRuby etc. The goal of the JVM is

IMO Agile has become regulatory capture. It's a means by which non-engineers can extract value from a booming market which doesn't directly benefit from their skills. That being said. I think there is a lot of wisdom in the origin
