Maciej livetweeted our demo day. I remember sitting there, refreshing, and being both a little relieved but also a little disappointed he didn't skewer us as well. I also kicked in $5 to his Antarctica experiment. As far as I can tell,

It's ironic that you'd pick Airbnb, since there is a very straightforward argument that the same effect is in play there - Airbnb is successful because of regulatory arbitrage. It's not like "booking places to sleep in

We're not discussing social media. We're discussing whether to extend the graces of polite society to people with abhorrent views. It's not clear to me whether you understand the spirit of the Popper quote. As I interpret it,

I suppose I just don't understand why you'd consider proselytizing abhorrent views to be an insufficient cause or behaviour. They occupy space, and are capable of terrorizing others just all the same. To extend my other comment, w

Yes, of course, obviously. I would not associate myself with, say, someone who in their off time writes long diatribes about how my ethnic group is lazy, incompetent, undeserving of legal rights and fit only to be exterminated or enslaved.

You're not OP but I can't dignify an asinine Yudkowsky quote with a reply, so you get one instead. Why are essays non-actions in your view? Suppose someone had a lengthly career writing $MAXIMALLY_REPUGNANT_VIEW essays and promoti

Thought experiment: Is there no set of personal views sufficiently abhorrent to dissuade you from associating with a given person?

Aha, that's fair. Judging by the site it seems you'll have to take care to demonstrate that you're not shifting UK derived profits; but either way you'll want to chat up an accountant. In my jurisdiction, to my knowledge

In js, are obj field names stable on insertion? Normally I wouldn't expect getOwnPropertyNames to return them in the same order.

That sounds like he was job training to be a manager/owner later. I strongly doubt a fluent, well educated westerner in China was going to be stuck with working on the factory floor as a career plan.

It's not like bitcoin is free, either. A lot of someones burn a lot of electricity 24x7 in order for bitcoin to hold any value, too - and bitcoin holders pay for it just the same.

Just make sure you went to an elite school, preferably Stanford or MIT.

Last time I checked Go didn't really have a package manager, so I think the joke here is that most web apps are semi disposable and people haven't hit the upgrade cycles for their Go apps either.

I've heard this claim before and it feels like a mixture of stockholm syndrome and wishful thinking. In my experience, it's a bit of a shit show. You end up with libraries that are subtly incompatible, or have overlapping function

>If you think so, then donate 100% of your income to the government and live on public assistance. I've always found these arguments to be poor attempts at a reductio ad absurdum. While some people do take vows of poverty, by and la

Eh, yes and no. Python at least has `elif` statements. When execution control depends on the order of nested arguments, I find "c" style to really enhance the following contrived example, even with rainbow parens: (if true

It speaks to the challenge of good design and of changing organizations. But I got a soft spot for the meatball. Today, the worm reads as cold and clinical, and potentially kind of out of touch with NASA culture. The meatball kind of exudes

a) You are not a company. The incentives and the amount of relative power each entity has in this relationship is skewed. A job to you is life changing. To a large enough company, you're just a conversion or churn metric. b) That happe
