Since you clearly don’t get the context, the Republicans made this a giant issue when Obama had an open Supreme Court seat towards the end of his term. Let’s call a spade a spade: the republicans have no regard for the constitution or laws

That’s exactly what this advice is for. You don’t need to be reminded to be strong or work hard when you feel strong and want to work hard.

Aside from the "Facebook just launched Facebook" side of this, I think it's really interesting that they're launching this on Facebook instead of acquiring/building a new network. It seems like social networks roll

How long are we going to hold onto this silly 10,000 hours thing? Mastery, and high levels of skill, are a combination of inherent talent + explicit effort (not passive time) + quality of experience. I have seen 15 year experienced engineer

Awesome! I’m a couple weeks from turning my attention to ci/cd for a side project. I’m going to bookmark this and I promise I’ll check it out!

For smaller projects who aren't ready to start spending yet, it's pretty trivial to spin up your own runners on a server. Not sure how it scales, but Gitlab has pretty solid guides on how to make one. It took me maybe an hour th

The idea isn’t that they have long lives, it’s that they’re pushing the edge of possibilities for the human body and things are discovered there.

This is a great example of the walled garden. There is a serious issue where experts refuse to accept that outsiders can have impact on their field. Let’s say neuralink does fail, it’s still very likely they push the field forward in some m

Actually, even though the infection (and biological signs of the infection like blood oxygen) are different from the flu, the actual grouping of symptoms is very similar to the flu. In the most extreme cases, it has more differences, but o

Why is it distasteful? People on this planet speak different languages, and pronounce things in different ways... It was not mocking that he wasn't pronouncing things the same way we were, it was just an imitation of him. Is SNL dist

The toughest part of this is finding a product that people are willing to pay for. The sunk cost fallacy kicks in, and everyone doubles down on pushing the product and iterating until they finally have no choice but to admit failure. I th

You not knowing in any level of detail is intentional. At best, the US military might have that under lock and key. These are more or less the most secretive projects a military has. If specs like "we sort of suck at x distance&quot

I imagine a lot of people are expecting the economy to go through a prolonged, rough recovery from the beating that has been most of 2020. The Trump administration has done just about everything possible to kick the can down the road. Mig

The default state of space is failure. It's incredibly expensive, extremely error prone, and failure can have catastrophic results. There's a reason SpaceX was laughed out of room for years. Hell, the most basic problem is desc

Just to pile on this, Gary Vee bettered his life in an ethical way. And then he shifted what he was talking about to things like picking up free furniture and selling it for a small profit because that's what people needed to hear to

Actually, I care about his opinions, don’t put your ridiculous opinion on all of us. Bill Gates is an intelligent person, working on hard problems to improve the world. You should listen when he talks.

Saying that some modeling is inaccurate is not a sufficient argument to disregard other modeling. Beyond that, we have already seen catastrophic climate change results in nature, we just haven’t felt catastrophe level impacts for most human

I downvote primarily bad faith arguments. If I disagree, think you’re wrong, etc I tend to respond (or upvote quality responses). For instance, I downvoted a comment yesterday that said something along the lines of “you can get a cs degree

The answer is patience. Everything is easier once you've been working in the field for a few years, steeped in that world. Have you ever read legal texts? Or dug through a graphics rendering library? Or seen a grandmaster play ches

I that this has historically been the case, but I think there has been a lot more delivery in recent years. The estimates from Musk seem to be less off, and I think a massive part of that is that the ramp up to this point was all predicate

Currently listening to the biography on Musk, he jokingly accepts that his timelines are all off, but he doesn't feel too bad about it because he eventually hits the goals. When asked about comments that a timeline for an electric car

I don't think the dangers are significant at all. The danger would come from changing how you perceive your level of heat, causing overheating related issues to come without you noticing the warning signs. If you ride the subway for

This article is effectively arguing that billionaires social meetings have to be disclosed to the public. Honestly, this is getting ridiculous. Eric Schmidt is allowed to have conferences with highly successful people without telling you ab

This sounds like you need a career change. People who want to get where they are going will absolutely welcome a faster plane.

I've always disliked how widely accepted this argument is. I agree, if you have a family or really value time outside of work for some reason, money has a serious diminishing effect. However, even if I'm totally satisfied with m

I thought studies include Remdesivir and Hydroxycloroquine showed negative results. Why would we be buying up Remdesivir when Dexamethasone is the new hot drug with good clinical results?

I'd also say that a lot of people expecting to eventually hire on developers don't have to pick the tech stack that will scale to a 30 developer team. I've known a lot of very successful companies where the core tech was reb

I agree with you, for >95% of projects most of the tools available to you have reasonable upside and downside. If you were equally skilled in all options, it more or less doesn't matter what you pick. There are definitely problems
