Why would anyone else be more equipped?

And the US government's blessing. Along with the UK, this is how the US indirectly spies on its own citizens.

Weird how Marx came to this conclusion 125 years ago in Capital, Vol. 3 and isn't mentioned once.

Why do you think that?

> So, for example, if you get a new versions of excel, which improves your productivity $100/year, but excel costs $100 this year to upgrade, you haven't gained anything in year 1. Yes, but this is a tautology (it will always b

Wait... but bonds these days are usually issued to fund stock buybacks, which inflates the stock price. Why would you short the stock in that case?

When the cost of labor stays the same while productivity increases due to technological advances (e.g. moving from an in-house server farm to the cloud), profit increases.

Probably. The only thing that's driven the economy since 2009 is the suppression of wages, technology-based productivity boosts, and the hindsight to know that the US Government is ready and willing to bail out any sufficiently large i

Designing for concurrent requests is pretty much a given for web servers.

Quite the romantic notion of wildflowers spontaneously blooming in your unkempt yard when the best you're likely to get is crabgrass.

Such are the contradictions of the web that we shun constant code churn while at the same time giving full-throated endorsements of Service Workers.

Bloomberg reporters get bonuses for writing stories that affect the market. Seriously.

The headlines are different, but the content is the same. If you read into the SCMP headline, what it's actually saying is that Jack Ma expects employees to want to work 12 hour days, 6 days a week, without being forced.

I'm not familiar with the author, but I didn't take the article strictly from the perspective of the labor market. There are people who program as a hobby, for example. For those who are interested, it can be enlightening to see h

I absolutely expect my employer to give me paid time to learn, and only work for those that do.

There's precedent for outright deprecating a package when others exist that do a better job of meeting current development needs. With Promises and node/browser cross compatibility being the biggest ecosystem shifts, there are a f

FWIW I've helped a team of Java developers transition to Node and the first questions I got were usually about standard library and hibernate. One guy was quite convinced that the NPM world just needed a reimplementation of Apache Comm

You've only proved their point. Since 1970 (ie at least a decade before most users of this site were born), it has been a major guiding principle in finance. Because of that, the majority of board members and large shareholders will al

I continue to be fascinated with consumers who assume the role of shareholder in times of crisis, even against their own interests.

Lots of options: containerization, downloading prebuilt binaries, downloading and building from source, or downloading, building, then packaging the artifacts and leaving somewhere centralized for deploy.

I'm not a fan of relying on distro package managers for installation of runtime dependencies on servers. Too many opportunites for variables to creep in if the version isn't locked, and then having to make sure all the package man

In response to your edit: he said the same thing on The Verge [1] a week or two ago. I think maybe what the OP is getting at is that there's really nothing revealing or exclusive that comes out of these AMAs; it's just another med

No, it's just another stop on the publicity tour now. They're coordinated with Reddit ahead of time and most don't even bother to answer candidly or even answer questions themselves. Reddit was able to suspend disbelief until
