I'm definitely going to take time to watch his talk because the slides are excellent. And I agree with you wholeheartedly that the real world of software development is not wholly filled with reasonable people that strive for objectivi

Meta but I really wish we could ban the phrase "cool kids" from the programming community. It has a terrible connotation (high school cliques). And it feels out of place, especially when we're talking about something like pra

What really bothers me about this type of thinking is the assumption that every team is equally talented & motivated. I might go as far as saying the talent/intelligence landscape is somewhat homogenous but having been around early

The mistake is associating one party or another with spending. While American conservatives speak of cutting spending rarely does this happen in practice. Think of the Iraq war under Bush, or my favorite, in 2003 Republicans extending Medic

Cute though the lack of citations is a huge turn off. Not only does it cost you in trust/authority but if this is supposed to actually help users learn more you should offer a way to dig deeper into the subjects.

The UX makes it pretty easy to add users to lists. You click on the gear next to the follow button then click Add/Remove from lists. And I'm pretty sure it's present in the mobile app as well.

I recommend using lists. I'm not sure if there's a limit on the number of people you can add to a list but I haven't hit one yet. I typically follow only friends and people who I find particularly interesting but I put lots o

Agreed, I noticed a downvote and was concerned that I had unintentionally angered someone. Mass downvoting in this thread to push your name to the top is seriously inappropriate behavior.

Did you read the entire article? The author uses Spain's legal treatment of those accused of torture in the Spanish civil war to make a very cogent argument that laws mandating we censor the past can have effects as broad as lossless p

The chess/go difference in accepting handicaps may be due to chess's culture of memorization & opening study. Also since in chess all the pieces begin the game on the board (rather than players alternating placing stones) if y

I wouldn't be surprised if you hadn't seen any of the output yet, as it's rather new, but Buzzfeed started expanding their operations past lists of gifs sometime last year. Going as far as hiring an investigative team in late

What's tough here, and I agree wholeheartedly that the Times isn't doing a great job digitally, is that the companies that seem to have a better grasp on digital (HuffPo, Buzzfeed, Vox, etc.) only have a grasp on strong digital bu

There's nothing wrong with meta commentary. Let me be more specific, this strikes me more as an ad hominem attack than real meta commentary.

I think both you and the OP are missing the context of the $1500. I suppose it's "non-negligible" as he said, but it's barely enough to cover 2 founders flying from New York, plus a hotel and rental car. In Thailand $150
