If you don't want to read the topic, ignore it and move on. I'm not interested in Django but I don't try to stifle conversations on it. Why are there so many gatekeeping people around that want to prevent discussions on topic

If you spend enough time watching nature videos like I do, you will notice that the vast majority of animals are eaten alive by their predators. It's slow, and exceedingly painful and it is ubiquitous. So even if plants were conscious,

I've lived in Silicon Valley for over 2 decades as well. Until iPhone, Apple was not prestigious at all. I still remember Brass Ring hiring conventions where the Apple hiring booth was completely empty. In fact, until recently, all I&#

Did she by chance drink a lot of soda or other sugar drinks? Or was she a diabetic? I've heard that high blood sugar causes the similar types of damage.

They want to increase engagement by forcing a newsfeed type experience, but I hate it.

I think it's stupid when people say they don't think code comments are good or necessary. It's a weirdly religious debate and frankly I think having a ton of code comments is great. Some of my closest friends think that all c

Meh, it happens. Sending out test emails is about the best-case on the spectrum. I've been involved in cleaning up incidents where someone accidentally sent out discounts worth 7 figures that were meant to be for a test but it was misc

It's sad but interesting to see the pivot that Triplebyte is taking. As the top comment says, if they were doing great they wouldn't be pivoting, so it speaks volumes. I still don't understand exactly what benefits it brings

Triplebyte was basically friction. It didn't help you skip the onsite and instead forced you to do two onsites, once with Triplebyte and once with the hiring company. It didn't make sense to ever engage with Triplebyte.

Uber will achieve profitability some time this year. How will your change your narrative then to villify them? And cab companies are notoriously corrupt. You're actually defending them?

I think I was younger than 13 when Back to the Future came out. I saw that 3 times with my friends, and each time we had to travel by bus by ourselves for about 45 mins across town.

I recently watched E.T. by Steven Spielberg, and was shocked at how different life was in the 80s. The mom left Elliott at home alone, sick with a fever, at the age of 9. She also left the daughter who was 3.5 alone while she went to the su

Similar to what others have said, say that you were trying your own startup for a couple of years but it never panned out. Be ready to describe what you wanted to do. That's what I did after 1 year of taking off to do my own thing. No

Yes, it was a descendent. Instacart is a descendent of Webvan too. The idea is the same but Amazon already had preexisting technology and market dominance. You can't compare Webvan to Amazon.

What if everyone started using the same SSID name, would that be enough to obscure the information?

Actually it reinforces that the idea actually is the easiest part of the equation. Execution is the key and the winners are the ones who executed the best. You can't compare Webvan to Amazon.

Because you're paying on top of Walmart's margins. And you're limited to whatever Walmart wants to carry and wants to charge you.

The best way to kill something is by saying "yes, we'll get to that next, don't worry!" and then never get to it.

I use Windows 7 on my 2012 desktop, Mac on my laptops, and Linux for some of my own personal development. At this point, my desktop is a glorified web browser but I still mainly use that because I like it the best. Since I don't play g

I still use Windows 7 as well.

Jokes on them... I'm still happily using Windows 7!

The GFC is a direct result of illegal behavior. If you don't understand that, you don't understand the GFC. The major problem is that Wall Street investment banks were marking shitty debt as AAA when it was no such thing. Because

SEC targets regular people to keep us in line. They let big institutional traders and connected people go.

I love how no one on Wall Street was convicted of anything criminal even though they almost destroyed the entire global financial system. There was even text messages of fraud being committed and nothing happened. Not even clawbacks or fine

Infants almost have a 0% chance of encountering any issues with COVID. 8 out of 100,000 children need to be hospitalized. You're talking about a 0.08% chance of hospitalization and for infants it's actually even lower. Most vaccin

What a bunch of fucking scumbags. Politicians need to step in and make this illegal. This industry is disgusting. Now you are talking about regular people trying to self diagnose to avoid going to the ER in fear of getting a large medical b

The measles vaccine is less effective than the COVID vaccine, and for mumps is less than 90% effective. Are you going to quarantine yourself over those lowered percentages? Most vaccines are less effective than the COVID vaccine. To not tru

They would have to last 1 year to get the full TC which isn't the point. They do the minimal amount of work to collect a $150k salary and then get fired in 4 months and move on.

I know some people who got COVID and said they felt fine, except for a stuffy nose. Almost everyone I know that had COVID said that the flu was worse. All the symptoms that you mentioned apply to the flu as well. There might have been one d

How can you do that with over 50% of the population fully vaccinated?
