My pet theory is this is the form of "elite overproduction" where affluent kids lacking meaning in their life are drawn to stupid ideas combined with exaggerated sense of self-importance. Explains all kinds of morons from mild lik

Is that so? For myself, I can say that if he was caught, turned out to be a vigilante, and was convicted to death, I'd pay good money to be assigned as an executioner. Most people are probably somewhere in the middle.

I understand my comment was made in anger, but where is the ideological battle? I am trying to ask people to discuss non-tech-related politics elsewhere, as per guidelines. How else am I supposed to do that? Flagging doesn't work, poli

Man, I wish the sanctions would be lifted just so that the leftists holding these countries hostage, and their fellow travelers, don't have an excuse for running them into the ground because they believe in the worst ideology in histor

Lol, this is what they did in the USSR. It doesn't really work unless you trap people in this housing because those with means won't be interested, or will move out once they lived there and experienced living with "mixed inc

That's not what I've been hearing from European co-workers. Switzerland and London being somewhat of an exception, the vibe I get there are few if any good jobs and few good and ambitious developers left in Europe. Everyone who is

Well this is about comparing with other countries, isn't it? Also [citation needed] for purchasing power is down. Again, comparing with other countries, US disposable incomes are in a completely different ballpark. I wasn't aware

1) Why is the company supposed to give anything back to society? Should your hobbies be banned because they may not be socially useful? 2) In any case it's the creators doing the cheating. Should malls be banned if one store happens to

That sounds like a cope. I have worked with many engineers who delivered as high, or higher, quality and impact features at higher volume by working longer, because they cared more about technology and/or the product. And I've als

It's nice to unpack the assumptions behind this (and gp) comments. You know, honestly, why I won't work for twitter in 2024? Or Tesla, or SpaceX. Because I don't respect myself enough as an engineer. Even if we assume I had t

It's surprising that people mention all kind of bogeymen but don't mention automatic updates. Automatic updates should be considered harmful. At the minimum, there should be staged rollouts, with a significant gap (days) for issue

This is at best misdirection. So, let's say England then had robust labor rights. Perhaps there's no child labor and instead, the same workers now use the machines, except most of them are fired and get 6 months of severance. Heck

I wouldn't expect any better given the source, but this is complete nonsense... what is the logic here? If per-worker productivity increases, there are 3 options: 1) output increases; 2) under pretty much any labor rights some workers

I can only respond with an echo: "The fact that people like you exist is far more damaging for the world than phone thieves." Unreserved compassion is by far the most harmful atavisms of human evolution. More evil, even, than trib

Why is humane "under-punishment always preferable to over-punishment" top priority? You can construct a mathematically absurd example - e.g. if we under-punish a psychopathic attempted murderer and he gets an opportunity to actual

Yeah, you could imagine all kinds of scenarios. We do have beyond reasonable doubt standard for punishment, so it's just that - fantasy; or rather, a gotcha that is simply an worthwhile tradeoff. The "absolute" values that do

Makes me wish we could do proper punishment adjustment, taking into account the percentage of criminals punished, using this app. Let's say punishment X would deter phone theft. Now take the phones stolen, and how many are recovered wi

Nice project, but I wouldn't claim 3m precision, at least not around steep terrain. I checked if I can use it for climbing areas, and a spot around here that goes in the shade around 1pm this time of year is still shown in full sun aro

It's interesting that both extremes are actually signs of the same problem. First, why didn't other countries become too scare to build? The neighborhood I grew up at in Moscow was built in bulk in place of a village of the same n

Where did you ever see that? In particular for the actually wealthy? "Oh no, my house went from $10m to $9m, woe is me"? At most, it's a proxy for the above. As a not-so-wealthy, but well-to-do techie, for me the exclusion is

I didn't miss anything. 1) Who said their science is fake, and what science anyway? They inform the masses of the sugar content as required. Should marketing be a crime? Or science you disagree with? 2) Who decides what is marketing an

I always took the opposite insight from this. It's easy to find some bit of luck in anyone's trajectory and attribute their position to it. However, it's important to remember that for most, there were millions (or at least t

Frankly I wonder what influences what weird hangups being poor/relatively poor gives people. Like, when I was growing up I remember my mom and grandmother discussing exactly this - oh, this store has chicken on discount, and the market
