Joseph Kennedy did not make his fortune from bootlegging. That's an urban legend, presumably begun by contemporary detractors. He did make some moves in the liquor business when it became evident prohibition was about to end, but that

What percentage of Americans do you estimate genuinely believe that Trump is literally seeking to overthrow democracy, even indirectly? And I'm not asking your reasons for believing it.

Facebook and Twitter are not communities in any meaningful sense, because they are global, and generally speaking meant for "anybody" to talk about "anything" (of course the limits of this generality are exactly what&#x2

Nope, I came to the same conclusion as your parent, when I wondered why every one of these threads for the last several years has been full of dismissal and criticism, and why the phrase "out of touch" gets flogged like a dead hor

Having done exactly this, I say have a blast and enjoy the freedom to create, but be prepared to re-enter the industry because that’s almost certainly what you’ll have to do. I put my time working on my game on my resume, and it did help me

Sounds to me like you’re falling right into the stigmatizing myth that the mentally ill are especially likely to be violent. Even calling them “the worst society has to offer”, and so far nobody is calling you on it. Presumably there would

Ok, this actually makes sense to me. I forgot that the rocket factory is only a subset of total production.

Can anyone explain how exactly this is different? I’m having trouble visualizing it.

Only 1500 here. Although I enjoy the early game very much, I agree that making a base as big as possible is where it’s at. One thing I notice is that most players talk in terms of SPM. I find this curious because I find it hard to get excit

Notable programmers, those you know by name, are given positions that you get by having a conversation with a VP. Source: worked there for a long time.

I came to say it’s crazy how lightning fast this is on an iPhone. Impressive.

This seems absurd to me, since by that logic I shouldn’t support gay marriage. Put another way your view kind of discounts the quality of compassion.

Welp, Christmas came early. I couldn’t have hoped for a better satiric voice to exploit this particular tech.

This is my interpretation of events, and maybe I’m off base. PG used to comment often. Around 2010-11, there was a months-long crisis of sorts over the perceived declining quality of discourse here. PG was actively involved in trying to mit

At Microsoft there is a guy named Peter Spiro who I really looked up to, in SQL Server. His official title is Technical Fellow but he called himself Village Elder, because he worked on it since 1.0. In his own words, his job is to float aro

In your example, I read it as the other members of the team not being quite as enlightened as she is, because they 'mistrust' instead of recognizing her soft leadership. It sounds like you believe she bears responsibility for that
