I only need to buy something online every couple months, maybe once a month at most. I hate shopping so I'll be damned if I will spend 1 more second thinking about the process than I have to. Amazon always has the thing, ships it in 2

I never claimed any of that stuff you said I did. Are you continuing some other conversation you had elsewhere where the person said something more extreme than what I did without realizing it?

It seems clear to me that there are folks that don't have mental health problems but rather very different preferences. Some folks you just can't tell not to keep moving around, and they also dislike working, at least in the types

>Or do these cases make the news exactly because of how outrageous and rare they are? It's that. I've lived in the USA my whole life in a big city and don't ever think about this stuff except when I'm online. There ha

This style of grant giving has caught on in the last few years (three other examples I can think of off the top of my head are Tyler Cowen's Fast Grants [0] and Emergent Ventures [1] and Scott Alexander's ACX Grants [2], inspired

I didn't mean to claim other than that anything is possible . I was just saying the original theory put forward wasn't internally logical.

What are the odds that he calculated a certain number of bytes, and exactly one other employee had sent a file to the printer that contained that number, but it was just a coincidence? If the method indeed doesn't work (as you suggest

I think React is better described as a library than a framework. Frameworks for libraries sounds entirely reasonable to me.

The tutorials at the react home page should suit you well.

That interview is great but I don't think there's any overlap. This is focused on VR, something that was only touched on in the Lex interview.

It's sort of pointless if you have to just watch it in a video like I assume we all are. I think it would be better if you were in there in the room with John (using a VR headset). Personally I'm listening to it in the background

True! I'm still hoping Lamdera can be Elm's Rails. I've done some side projects using Lamdera and received a lot of help personally from its creator Mario. He's awesome, always available to debug stuff, and also organize

Evan no longer works at the company NoRedInk that had been sponsoring his work on Elm, but has resurfaced to let folks know he's doing fine, doesn't need financial support, and still has no news to share on his plans for Elm.

The movie that scarred me as a kid was Princess Mononoke. I remember my parents had a few friends over to watch it when it first released on DVD and they did this after my bedtime as I wasn't considered old enough to see but of course

Deals made on the basis of the valuation of future wealth were always gambles by both sides. The folks who cashed out made a profitable bet on future information and could have just as easily lost out. Their experience has no influence on t

Average productivity is exactly what it sounds like. If google is making one million dollars in a year and has 1000 employees their average productivity is $1000. Marginal productivity is harder to pin down empirically, it's the first

I don't think construction workers today would put up with someone in their ranks (construction crew on some big building) routinely dying and not strike for better conditions.
