   Wow, since moving over to Elixir/Phoenix I have been doing all my bug fixing this way but wasn't sure if I was doing it right!

   This should be the motto for almost everything. Forget X vs. Y. Cognitive load is what matters.

   #4, 5, 6 are very dubious. Elephants have huge brains yet they don’t rule the world.

   Projects from Google 120, to my understanding can/are spun-out as separate entities. Therefore it can’t be shut down by Google management.

   Thanks for sharing. Key point: > Yes, debt is on the rise in the developing world, and Chinese overseas lending is, for the first time, a part of the story. But a number of us academics who have studied China’s practices in detail have f

   Whether an idea is a dead VC-backed one or not doesn't matter. You should try applying Lean Startup method to validate an idea with customers, test the market channels, pricing, etc. and that will tell you about the potential it has mo

    Tencent has already created a successful app ecosystem with WeChat mini-apps. I don't believe it will be too hard for Huawei to do the same (although it won't be easy either).

    Have you tried Devise? It’s not default but it’s one of the best Auth tools I’ve seen in any stack. I love it and use it in tons of apps.

    Earning more revenue =/= maximizing company value The benefit of cofounders has a doing more with fewer resources and having more diversity of opinion (making fewer long-term mistakes).

    Looks cool, really like the name. It’s always interesting to me to see other developers who are good at branding, despite no obvious marketing background.

    You don’t seem to think bias is reproducible.

    Nice work! This is close to what I do with most new Rails app when I want more Asynchronous functionality.

    The problem is not that this looks like a stupid business. The problem is it deliberately misleads and fools people.

    Your points do not counter what I am saying. Infact, I agree with both of your points. The problem is, supply chains are not as entrenched as you claim. Given a long enough time horizon and advanced enough automation, robots will move back

    This argument is old, and pretty lazy. Basically, they are saying that AI both creates and destroys jobs. Well no shit. The problem is, the average truck driver isn't going to retrain and relocate to San Francisco. He will just be out

    The economy is not bigger in China yet. Also, the competition in China will be more fierce for US companies than in domestic markets, meaning they will have less market share.

    Labor? We are talking about automation. What I am saying, in your words, is automation will shift the "economies of proximity" equation to make more sense back in the USA.

    Automation will bring the robots back to USA, actually. Since robots cost the same to operate in US and they do in China, factories will shift location closer to the markets they supply. EDIT: my point was not clear enough. I'm saying

    Because you are clearly wrong. Forgive me for being blunt, I just think it’s a bit obvious: they have grown through means other than someone going to google.com and typing “Pinterest.” I can think of a dozen reasons why that would be the ca

    Not equating them, they are two separate things and the two most important parts of success IMO.

    I don’t think this says anything about teaching quality in US, to be honest. It says more about wealth. We are a much wealthier country and the smartest and wealthiest of the other countries study here. Teaching quality at many elite univer

    Very cool. Just too bad ideas don’t matter and execution is everything! I wish the world has more people with technical chops and less “idea guys.” Knowledge of customer and ability to build the minimum viable product is worth more than 100
