Anecdotally, not true (for me). I finally tried my fiend's Vive and it's the first gaming 'system' I've wanted to buy in a long time. I'm going to wait until a few more releases and then I'll be buying o

If you're living in Silicon Valley and only making 30% more you're doing it wrong. I'd guess you can make more than 100% more in SV if you're very talented. There's always the regression of the mean if you take e

No i'm literally talking about eliminating the free market from the equation for the bare necessities. No vouchers, you give people the minimum required nutrition, whoever wants it. Soylent or whatnot. Not vouchers for housing, you b

Instead of income, what about necessities for a modern life? Shelter, safety, medical care, nutrition and internet access? These could be provided at a minimum instead of the income (ostensibly) designed to be used for these things.

You happen to think the most popular scala library is a virus? We use it extensively at Verizon, and it exists just fine with 'impure' code, Akka code, or whatever else various teams decide to also pull in. Codebases that don&#x

Good list. Define ou haven't read all of these but of the ones you've mentioned I can tell I'd probably like the rest. Have you read Anathem or any of Peter Watts' stuff? If not give them a try.

I cannot imagine a scenario where Go would be a better fit for a team of skilled engineers (compared to scala). Maybe ramp up time would be the only thing, but even still the dividends you can reap from scala's more complex abstractio

I work at Verizon Labs and don't see any of what you mentioned here. Verizon as it stands today though, is an amalgamation of many different companies and cultures. I do believe your experiences could absolutely be true in some of t

Good point! I meant for your primary residence, you're paying that interest regardless of if you own a home or rent. So I don't factor that in when it comes to a primary residence. This is a different story for investment pro

Are you unfamiliar with the concept of Leverage? Sure, having an investment keep pace with inflation isn't phenomenal, but in the US it's standard to put 20% down of the house value. So if inflation is 3%, I can realize 15% on my

Pattern Matching, Destructing, and ADTs are amazing. Inference is much better and not just for local variables. for comprehension is the equivalent of LINQ syntax which is nice, very powerful when working with asynchronous calls. Higher Ki

On top of that, Scala is a much nicer language than C#. I moved from being a C# developer to Scala and couldn't be happier. Best thing about C# is Visual Studio (IDEs are weaker in Scala land) but a bigger ecosystem and more powerful

I'm on one of the larger Scala teams in the U.S and have used it for quite a few years. In short, Scala is a much more powerful and expressive language (than Kotlin) that let's you write very functional code. Most on our team wou

Inflation has been low? Going off what, CPI? That's an insane claim to make and shows a gross misunderstanding of wealth and economics. Did you miss the part where I talked about leverage ? This is basic math.

Sure, you can blame it on capitalism if you want, but pay close attention to a recurring theme in this article such as " The minimum wage, which peaked in 1968, would have reached $21.72 in 2012 had it kept pace with inflation ."

Verizon Labs is scala, and (mostly) on the extreme functional side (heavy Scalaz). Scala/FP experience not required, but a willingness to learn is. Ping me if you want to chat more.

No, you don't. He's saying the math doesn't add up in terms of how they calculated the mean of the brand and the 'highest' avg. mean of the models (in that brand).

I also wonder how that affects what the total amount 'billed' ends up being. For instance, if BMW corporate is footing the bill for all the maintenance/warranty issues for the first 3/4 years of ownership, are they more
