It’s funny, your comment highlights exactly why experience is important. You don’t know what you don’t know about Android development. You have a set of very basic assumptions about how the API works, and have no idea what the challenges of

How far would you take this? Would you hire a senior Android developer to lead your app development who has never written an Android app before? If you do, you’re going to have a very bad time. With experience comes lessons learned and best

Isn’t quality of life correlated with wealth? Isn’t most people’s wealth tied to their property value?

I find a lot of masters students who didn't study computer science as an undergrad are woefully unprepared for the realities of the job. A lot of masters programs (even from top-tier schools like UPenn) seem to split students into grou

The whole point of their operation was to buy real estate based on an algorithm. Hiring an agent to evaluate and execute each sale was the opposite of what they were trying to do and likely wouldn’t scale to the billions of dollars they wer

A 92-year old house probably is worth more than a 50 year old house, unless you like doing asbestos abatement.

Did Zillow even have buying agents? I imagine a lawyer could have handled the entire transaction.

The virus is objectively endemic. It's regularly found in people and cannot be eradicated. Even if you could somehow eradicate it among humans, it has animal reservoirs so re-contamination would always be a threat. If hospital capacity

I'm so sick of hearing about COVID-19... The virus completely endemic at this point, it will never be eradicated. We have a vaccine that is effective and free to all who want it. Breakthrough infections happen, but not often and those

Do you also not learn new programming languages for fear of not using them on the next project? Your words are really aggressive. Try to have a more open mind.

I wonder if there will really be a long-term shortage. It’s a lot easier to ship tons of fertilizer vs. shipping natural gas. How much additional capacity is there in the U.S.?

Marketing can help, but if people don’t love your product enough to tell others about it, then it’s going to be hard to get traction.

How did you learn the CSS properties without consulting documentation? I get that you don't need to consult MDN every _now_, but imagine you were just learning. You'd likely need MDN very often. I still consult MDN for the syntax

Sure, but all else equal, wouldn’t you rather earn more? That’s what I’m saying: all else is equal.

I don't think the advice is the move your audience to spaces you own. The advice is to move your audience to spaces you own that intersect with spaces they go often. E.g. moving users into a forum you run wouldn't work because it

The issue with this study is that they can’t control for changes in society over time because the two groups of students evaluated did not attend school at the same time. For instance, maybe the issue is much more mundane. Access to TV incr

You're also not allowed to simply move to other countries. You generally need to get some type of work authorization if you want to be able to get a job. This isn't available to everyone, and can often require proficiency in the n

The advice is, in essence, to prioritize your mailing list over audiences on proprietary platforms like Twitter and TikTok. This may work for some, but mailing lists seem like they would be really ineffective for a lot of use cases.

The sentiment that humans are the ultimate resource is commonly believed, but you have to look at it like a business. If you have a factory, then the production line is your ultimate resource. You need to invest in it to increase production

I understand what you’re saying, but focusing on non-work things and working at a big tech company are not mutually exclusive. You can do the same amount of work and make a lot more money.

Developers at a large tech company in the US can easily earn 300K per year. This is US specific, but working at one of these companies isn’t particularly stressful.

There must be a HUGE pay discrepancy. I mean millions of dollars over the course of a decade. Too much opportunity cost, and for what? What is the value of the loyalty shown by the owner?

I think the parent commenter might be referring to systems like Hive or HBase built on top of Hadoop and do have a lot of overlap with a large scale database system.

According to this study, only 10% of heavy drinkers are alcoholics. Obviously heavy drinkers are a small portion of total drinkers, so your 10% number is way off base. Even if it was correct, two wrongs don’t make a right. https:/&#x2

This study claims that there are 7.3 heavy meth users per 1000 15-49 year olds in Australia. Meaning 1 in 10 people who try meth become a heavy user. That seems like a lot to me, given the lifestyle heavy-users live. https://ndar

What evidence is there of meth not being super addictive and life destroying? The person you're replying to misread the statistic, which was actually 7% (not one-in-seven).

I’m suggesting it because you said that personal beliefs should be kept personal. Similar to how if someone eating steak told me steak was unhealthy, I would advise them to stop eating steak. I read what you originally wrote, assumed it was

This isn’t a fallacy because I’m not making an argument or asserting the parent commenter is wrong. I’m suggesting to the parent commenter that they follow their own advice and keep their personal beliefs personal. For instance, if someone
