Lottery should be illegal. It is a luck-based system to concentrate and redistribute wealth from individuals (often lower class) to a single member of the society; propelling one person from the lower echelons of the society to the top at t

If someone has a recommendation for how to build/architect large GUI applications like Photoshop. For e.g., how to think about Undo operation right from the get-go . I think that would be amazing to learn if there is a course like that

Someone should build an app 5 different ways and discuss the pros and cons of each architecture/structure of the app. Haven't seen a course like that. There is plenty of stuff on Architecture, but not a single course on showing wh

Definitely, new technologies always had this issue though. Regulatory agencies move at a snails pace to adopt new changes - for good or for worse - that's up for debate. Good because new tech doesn't exploit consumers. Bad because

That's why we have regulations and regulatory agencies. You'll need to trust them to their job (just pegging the trust one more level up).

Huh? That's why we have regulations. Every country has one, in the US it is the FDA. Please don't try to shoehorn open source principles everywhere in life. It becomes a chore and a burden for a common citizen to verify the hazard

I disagree. As an Indian, our pride is one of the biggest problems. Not achieving much but taking a lot of credit for it. We even take pride in Indians that leave for abroad and do exceptionally well - CEOs of Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Mast

This is an unbalanced opinion of free markets (but I generally agree with downsides of unregulated capitalism). > Profit. That is all. Free markets also have intense competition so "Profits" that you talk about don't just

People don't grasp how good America has it for jobs. I have a friend in Australia who emigrated recently and struggling to even get an interview. This is a guy with intellect through the roof, ex-Microsoft, ex-Amazon software engineer
