Reading this leaves me so confused: why have we as a society (roughly - I know there are exceptions) decided that things like heroin and cocaine are illegal and worthy of criminal punishment (jail, etc) and things like opioids are ‘prescri

Can you elaborate on your experience rather than just dropping a hate-bomb? (I’m actually curious). What was so bad about the interview? Why did that make the company shabby?

It would be helpful for the junior folks among us (and those still learning) if you explained a bit about why that code is so terrible.

Your first two sentences are both accurate, but I don't think your third necessarily follows. There are strong arguments for getting rid of the Electoral College and they should be (and are being) debated.

I think you're exactly right here. Very good and insightful point. Thanks!

This is a great and thoughtful answer. Thanks!

Actual question (not trying to be snarky): Is Fox News considered state media, and if not, will it be?

Interesting idea (congrats on launching) and interesting discussion here. Reading this thread has popped up some questions in my mind and I'm curious to hear thoughts: Why do we (aka society aka the police) test for specific substance

I wonder if it's astronomy/astrophysics in particular, but I've found you folks are particularly good at having a layperson explanation locked and loaded. Anyway, it's appreciated and this really was a great answer.

My interpretation of the point the author is trying to make: The 'hypersane' are those among us who have realized, for better or for worse, that the traditional things that most in a society strive for - material wealth, social st

Heh you’re definitely right here. Maybe .005% is more like it :)

Agree with everything you say except one bit: “we couldn’t break it or trancend it” The same thing has been said about many man-made electronic systems, and we know how that’s gone so far ;) So I think for 95% of people, nothing would chang

“This comes off as desperate” I think this is exactly wrong. This kind of response is what people often fear when it comes to self-promotion. And it certainly may be what you fear (but I’m not you so I can’t say for sure), but I can assure

I agree. BUT - the response will be: “well even if we wanted to, we don’t have the technology to read his brain. we DO have the technology to read his phone, but you nerds are keeping it from us.” (Disclaimer: I don’t agree with this posit

This is an interesting question. I tend to think the narrative is actually true (obviously we’re talking about a very large and vague grouping here - results will vary.) I’ve definitely run into “brilliant assholes” and yes, they are actual

I will say, for what it’s worth, that the customer experience of using Brex is really quite outstanding (my current startup is a customer.) They’ve figured out things that in hindsight just seem so obvious to a good UX, and yet we’ve all be

I’m having a lot of trouble with this article. It’s conflating a park bench with armrests or a ledge with spikes (both, I think, at least legitimate points of discussion when it comes to hostile design) with something designed to prevent pe

Thank you for sharing! I had no idea what fzf was when I read your post at first, so I was confused. Maybe just a quick intro sentence (with a link) to help set some context. Otherwise awesome!

If these fees are so consumer-unfriendly (I agree they are deceptive!), instead of getting angry at the chains, why don’t the major aggregators (Expedia, HotelTonight) just decide to roll resort fees into the displayed nightly rates?

I’m completely at a loss for understanding electric scooters in a city like San Francisco (reminder for those who aren’t familiar: wildly hilly!). I tried one of the scooters when they first hit the streets here and it promptly gave up the

There was a place like this in San Francisco a few years back (I think it’s closed now), but I went once with a group of friends and it was absolutely fascinating. I still have vivid and clear visual memories of the meal (and this was ~5

Read reddit’s linked description of what a quarantined community is - it explains the answer to your question. It’s not about people who want to go to fan sites (or don’t want to go) - it’s about misinformation / inappropriate content

Totally me too! My first trip to Chicago absolutely required a trip to Meigs Field, and I almost felt like I could navigate the plane around the city as we passed over it on the way out from ORD :)

Ok that's a fair point, and I just read the article again with this in mind. I understand where you (and the author) are coming from. My strong reaction came from "all the obvious ideas are taken" and I still think you can bu
