Seems misleading because it doesn't account for debt or differing costs of living [edit: doesn't account for it effectively].

Probably not your main target audience but I'm thinking of old industrial automation systems that run Windows for the UI together with a real-time software PLC (Siemens or something similar). Hard to find good tools for debugging them.

Not everybody is good at performing under pressure on problems that come with ambiguous artificially imposed rules that you have to guess. I remember solving a problem that involved manipulating a list. There was an improvement to my algori

It's almost impossible to give a meaningful answer to the first question. Asking people doesn't really answer the question because the meaningful version of the question is a nuanced counterfactual that would never really be asked

If he was reticent about Tesla, he was more at ease discussing his interest in young women. He said that criminalizing sex with teenage girls was a cultural aberration and that at times in history it was perfectly acceptable. He pointed ou

I guess every generation has their own ways of coping with anxious situations. I remember sitting next to and old catholic lady who spent 10 minutes praying on her rosary beads before takeoff. A bit more compact than a horse I guess.

You're really flattening the diversity of people with a political consciousness. "Social justice" isn't the be-all end-all goal of politics.

Changing internal Google policies isn't enough. America needs stronger worker protection laws.

Probably tent-camping campgrounds vs no campground. They didn't want to label it "campground" because that could refer to an RV campground too.

Weird list. Unless you have a PhD in philosophy, good luck reading some of these without some serious help. How about some good commentaries that make some of these books intelligible for the average person? People get PhDs in prestigious p

In what way? I learned about all this stuff a few years ago in school. Yeah there's more stuff to learn about now but the basics never change.

Manufacturing in Germany tends to be more high-tech on average than America. America has a lot of smaller job shops that buys foreign machines, but Germany has large, highly automated manufacturing companies (esp car companies) that have bo

Perhaps women are less likely to be given the freedom to create the codebase (or part of it) and more likely to be involved in maintaining and extending it, and/or more likely to identify with such a role.

This is obviously false if you think about it for like a minute. > Stealing from corporations is stealing from people. Sure, whatever. It's still not immoral. I also think it's okay to steal slaves from plantations. "But s

I personally think that this is moral. I think that capitalism is inherently immoral so it's not immoral to "steal" from giant corporations. I consider myself a very moral person (you have to take morality very seriously if y
