Elon has really kicked the hornets nest. This is the level of petty BS they will publish about somebody they don’t like. Imagine what they turn a blind eye to if they like you.

Higher education is an absolutely shameful industry. They work hand in glove with public and private financiers and textbook cartels to sell 18 year olds on a highly speculative “investment” that very frequently turns out to be worthless fr

I seriously don’t know why people believe this will work and unlock the latent poet or artist within the average joe. As far as I have read most experiments have had mixed results, and we don’t really know what the full impact will be if im

That’s great for you. I’m sure you can agree that there are many that do not share your view. Just wait until they harvest organs from somebody and their family throws a fit on religious or other grounds.

Right. Blood from 3-4 years ago has antibodies. One interpretation could be that those people were never exposed but somehow have antibodies which needs investigation. Another interpretation could be that covid-19 is a particularly bad seas

How do they know for sure people have not been exposed? I don’t see how you could prove definitively that a person wasn’t. And with many cases being asymptomatic they could have had it long ago and not known.

We have a team using this at work. They had built a process and needed it to be put on a VM and run periodically. They said the requirements were a dual core machine and 8gb of ram. The “binary” was like 1.8gb. I’m sure it included a jre an

The number of people that think they understand the scientific method is astoundingly higher than the number that actually do.

Did you even read the article? After the cares act, in many states the “break even” point where unemployment income is less than your working income is 25-30 dollars an hour. That’s 50k-60k per year. Anybody making less than the median inco

We don’t know for a fact what would happen without these restrictions. At this point the data available does not point to a clear conclusion either way. Some countries and states that imposed the harshest restrictions are being hit the hard

We do. In fact some people are getting paid more on unemployment than when they were working. Some employees have been upset that they didn’t lose their job. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/22/she-got-a-paychec

YouTubers have known for a long time that certain topics and keywords will get your videos penalized. There is a popular legal channel that refers to the virus as the "My Sharona Cyrus" in order to avoid being flagged. YouTube has

If you were to go in to an interview for a welding gig you would likely be asked to produce something simple like a cube or other basic shape. Nothing extravagant, but it demonstrates competency with the tools, materials, and techniques. I

I can imagine many people would not be comfortable answering that question, particularly depending on the company and their culture. I can easily see this type of question leading to dramatically different conclusions ranging from “this per

I love it. All the hysteria about peak oil from 15-20 years ago never happened and now we have a bunch of hand wavy explanations as to why. People just can’t admit it was BS and a lot of us bought into it.

I do find it ridiculous that we have ignored practical and common sense measures to protect the most at risk, and instead have decided fo trash our entire way of life and the economy along with it. In the future this will be looked back upo

I love it. The new keyboard looks great. I have a first gen 12.9 iPad pro and it has completely replaced a laptop for everything but my development work. I can't wait for Apple to put A series processors into a Macbook pro.

This is a very good overview. One thing I would add for the junior and mid level developer is “attitude towards work in general”. One thing I see commonly in many junior and some mid level engineers is an inappropriate attitude towards work

I do find the elements of self-hate evident in certain political movements to be very troubling. Larry Elder often talks about this and how a society and a government can only be just in its own time. There is no way to accurately and fully

Powerful economies plundering the world of intellectual resources is both a shame on one hand and an inevitability on the other. Unfortunately there is no perfect immigration system and competition between nations for resources makes these

The amount of ads I see for triplebyte and their copy cats is ridiculous. There must be huge money in it right now. Kind of reminds me of the code school fad a few years ago. I think they figured out actually educating people is hard/i

There is no data to back that up. I won’t suggest that it can’t happen, but if it were as common of an occurrence as you suggest there would be no used cars to drive. They would all be at a junkyard. If you exercise caution and due diligenc

It is extremely self important. The fact that so many people with these proclivities have gravitated to Google can not be a good thing. I have to imagine Google HR is not too troubled by shedding noisy moralizers within their ranks.

So everybody deserves to drive a brand new car right off the lot? I don't think so. It is exceptionally stupid to take any loan on a rapidly depreciating asset, let alone a 7 year loan on a car. Give me a break. Dave Ramsey is flipping

Going to reddit and asking for music suggestions on one of the normie subreddits is a profoundly bad idea, unless you are just venturing out of your bubble. Same goes for most social media websites. The trick is to find some genre specific
