The Chipotle thing is a joke at the expense of Chipotle. They had a reputation as being greener, having real food, and being healthy, and then it turned out that a lot of people got food poisoning from food in their supply chain. As for the

Not saying it's not a fad, but isn't it different in quite a number of ways? The Pokemon brand and geo coordinate aspects had all my friends ("core gamers", if you will, who would probably not have dreamed of playing fla

That's quite surprising, given how different the methods are. What about a control group that received no schooling?

You joke, but honestly all the web devs that learn a new framework annually will be pretty good at picking up new frameworks after five or ten years. Of course, most of the people who fret about the state of the javascript ecosystem are doi

Why would they care how you play as long as you sound better than everyone else? You're auditioning to make music for them, not to be their student.

Did he perhaps mean build all his apps as single page apps? A react or angular site that uses ajax to load all data is, in some sense, fully static. This only applies if you consider the term "app" as applying only to the frontend

TypeScript is quite popular but I wouldn't say it's anything like the de facto standard for frontend development. If anything, writing ES6 (and transpiling with Babel) is the standard.

How is their explanation incorrect? Your explanation is simply a rewording of theirs. Of course, apart from that you are disagreeing that it exists at all for health insurance. But the fact that consumers have "skin in the game" a

I dont think this quite works. For one thing, the users references won't be available when you try to use it in trySomethingElse(users), because it's scoped to that little arrow function above. For another, it has the effect of ca

Why wouldn't your knowledge of how often you misread problems factor into your estimate of what the probability of your answer to the problem being correct is? The scheme is rating how well you answer test questions, not how well you k

Fantastic and frankly hilarious scheme he has developed here. My favorite part is that if you state your absolute certainty in true or false and turn out to be wrong, your score is negative infinity. Only in a math class would I expect a sc

That alone isn't enough. Don't forget that you will sell more of them at $500 per gadget, so the total revenue from gadgets may go up. But it is possible, and does happen, that technological change messes up GDP measurement. It wa

How do you track those passwords? I presume not with a password manager otherwise it would be creating your passwords for you. Do you keep them in a text file on your computer or write them down and carry them around with you or something?

The very essence of the EMH (which is frequently oversold, but holds to some degree) is that we can't know which stocks are going to go down or up just by looking at the current state of the market. The expected value of any given stoc

What you're missing is that the stock market isn't a zero sum game. More money comes out of it than goes into it, because it represents companies that generally do useful things.
