I hate suits. Where's the equivalent for my pants/shirt/sweater combo?

While I agree personally, I am comfortable letting others experiment with new drugs and take on that risk with the potential to discover things a bit faster than traditional medicine. Regardless of what you think of CBD, it has garnered ste

While I get your point, I find it presumptuous for anyone to say what 'real' sex is. This is just another typical cultural issue that people cannot agree on. My problem with these laws is that they force morals upon the population

I don't agree, coworkers and I use Sublime as our daily drivers. I think it depends very heavily on the tech stack and the work being done. I also disagree that you can even compare Sublime to VS Code because one is a text editor and o

I agree, it's ridiculous! Not to mention that many app developers (as mentioned in the post) can't grind along on a single app for 10 years, so you most likely are not getting $5/mo (or more!) of value out of the product for

So why repeat the same failures? IMO one of the promises of cryptocurrency was a federalized system where it was owned by the people, not a single entity. No matter the marketing, if Facebook is making a cryptocurrency it will have the oppo

To add to sibling's point, many drag-drop libraries work great on a bare demo website with nothing else to worry about. Once you start trying to add it to your frontend with other complex features already there, you're back having

I don't understand this comment. What needs to 'catch up'? They are vastly different languages with different philosophies, there's problems better solved in either language.

That scale is not even on the extreme end of articles we are privy to these days. Do you want titles like "How Automattic develops software for websites"? Boring.

Great comment. Whereas typical object models have many relationships and out of these, nested data, the optimization for SQL lies essentially in the other direction. Your DB should be optimized for speed, your code for use and readability.

Good luck in 5 years, there will likely only be an option or two left and they will be as shitty as today's flip-phones. A few years ago I was in the market for a TV and was flabbergasted as to why I couldn't get a nice, big, &#x2

There's a basic level that every human on earth deserves, especially in a bountiful country like the USA. If you break an arm, get food poisoning, or catch a virus, I think you should be able to get good treatment for free. I don'

You're right about it having nothing to do with your point, but GP is correct. Simple example: Californians can't get pre-filled tax forms because the program to provide that service was lobbied against by tax firms. There are ton

This comment is on every S1 thread. And every time someone mentions that it is essentially standard copy for all S1s, because you can never guarantee anything on the market.

No, because you're assuming a zero-sum game or even profits. It's widely known that these e-scooter companies are eating a ton of losses right now as they figure things out.

The point about feedback is spot-on. It's chronic across hiring because hiring teams are trying to find their candidates and save time/money. What people forget about is the social capital you gain/lose. If 50 people come thr

I think I follow what you're saying, you think the IRS should accept BTC as the tax payment, so it is at least always correlated to the asset you earned/lost. While I agree, it's kind of backwards to ask for this now, after t

Fundamentally, fragmentation. I think the Civil War is a relevant example, honestly. What happens when the disparity between the Silicon Valley elite and the Iowa cattle farmers becomes too much for one side to bear? What's weird this

Yeah, agreed. At the least RSA is a significant milestone in computing security and those that contributed deserve some respect. Meritocracy, a young workforce, and aging technology can be a very unpleasant cocktail.

I see nothing wrong with sustainably farming whales like any other animal. Certain species have been endangered and those should be protected, but responsible consumption of traditional foods is an important way to preserve culture.
