Sure hope it's got nothing to do with literature because even I can read more than two books in five years.

For everyone (including India and China). Could we get the same ends via something more useful? In theory, sure, but it seems pretty evident that the answer in practice is no, since our congress has mostly been gridlocked for the past 16 ye

Yes and no, I'd say. Going back to the moon is big but it's also pretty self-contained, in a way. It just costs money (and doles a bunch of it out to the contracted companies). It's also mostly time-boxed. Healthcare, worker&

The best I've used, and I say this in all sincerity, is actually Facebook's work platform (but it's not a chat-first experience, obviously, and that's probably what made it better).

Thank you!

I don't think we're on the same page. Mostly because I have no idea what page you're on.

It is, but all the other ones I've had the misfortune of dealing with have been worse. Including IRC.

It's not bias. It's clickbait.

I actually think getting the political will, money, and execution together would be the part that would be a noteworthy show of force (and I'd argue being unable to get it done would be equally noteworthy in the other direction).

You might well be right. My eyes are definitely not great on top of the strabismus and lack of binocular vision. One of the main issues with tracking things is focus switching from one eye to another based on where it's moving. That sa

There's also a lot of depth to the strategy of the game. Handedness, pitcher/batter tendencies, etc. I'll never be convinced moving the NL to the DH was the right move for people who actually liked the sport.

If it's not horizontal enough, just wait up to 6 hours...

We usually only do that in stuff like records, on envelopes, on forms, etc. Pretty rare to do it in media.

I think it really depends on how big of a pivot and how good they were pre-pivot. Rockmelt made one of my favorite browsers (UX-wise) in 2010-2011. A year later they pivoted to ... I don't even remember what anymore. But it wasn't

Maybe, in retrospect, all those brilliant folks who made all that money would've deserved it more if they'd built cultures that could survive 5 years.

If you haven't already (which seems unlikely), look into the Renault 5 Turbo. Bit of an absurd car, but the modern (non-turbo) 5's slight bumps over the rear wheels are such a good callback to the Turbo (the original Renault 5 wer

The new 5 is one of the first cars I've really liked in a while. They really nailed the modern-with-subtle-calls-to-retro look.

Yeah. As long as "don't get merged" includes squashing so that whatever your (non)hooks didn't catch locally don't end up causing failures for rebases/merge conflict resolutions for others (assuming there are r

I agree to some extent but I don't think you can really separate the two. You have to survive long enough to reproduce enough. For almost all species, reproduction implies a non trivial amount of survival. Edit: actually, "almost

This reminds me of the twitter-based detector we had at Facebook that looked for spikes in "Facebook down" messages. When Facebook went public, the detector became useless because it fired anytime someone wrote about the Facebook

I used to think pre-push was better than pre-commit but at some point I realized I was actually just kicking the can down the road and leaving bigger problems for myself. It's not downsides-free, but it's the better compromise for

Having a cost and being too costly aren't the same thing though.
