Seconded. And a quick note that this course is based on the book "The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles (The MIT Press)"

Heh, is the defining characteristic of being in an executive position, that you consider meetings more important than your core product? They were never going to get equity. Life is not fair.

by phaemon 6y ago
If you care about having someone in a meeting, you specifically ask them to attend. They didn't care because he was never going to get equity in the first place.

The first answer that hits it on the head. It's nothing to do with your communication, you just didn't have the equity promise in writing and this is just an excuse. The real reason to not give you equity is because they don'

It's not nonsense at all, and nothing you wrote contradicts what I said. You can blame any human activity on "human nature". At one time human nature gave us the slave trade, but we still made slavery illegal. Calling it &q

Not really. If I state that humans are mammals and one of their properties is that they need to breathe air, I'm under no obligation to demonstrate that there are mammals that don't breathe air. And nor does the existence of non

You think the only reason to point out problems in society is because a person has "an axe to grind and inflation of their own ego"? Do you think society is perfect then?

Tell them what? Those certainly are properties of capitalism, which is fairly obvious when you look at any capitalist country.

That's just nonsense. The Last Kingdom literally includes every element that the article complains is missing from the game. Cornwell certainly has an anti Christian bent, but he at least tries to compensate with some relatable chara

I suspect the number one reason is that most 18-25 year olds actually love their parents and grandparents, and don't want to see them dying an agonizing death from covid. Clearly this doesn't apply to everyone, but I reckon it a

Except that some of Antarctica is below sea level. On the other hand, the reduction of gravitational pull from the melting ice will actually cause sea level drop around Antarctica ( which obviously makes it worse for Equatorial regions)

You know, for over a decade I've basically lived in vim & the shell. But I continually hear good things about org-mode and magit. Should I just embrace my destiny turn to the dark side?

Seems fine to me. 85 people from the placebo group caught covid. If the vaccine was completely ineffective you'd expect roughly the same number in the vaccinated group. The actual number was 9. What you're saying is the 9 is prett

No, it's not. If a farmer leaves a field fallow they will benefit from it later because the field does not move. If you do not fish an area you will not benefit from it later because the fish do move. This is not a hypothetical; it&#x2

The problem with that simple answer, is that fish move. If you don't catch them on your patch, you don't get to reap the benefits next year - the person with the patch north of yours gets to catch them next month.
