Counter point, most great programmers I know are physicists turned programmers. Although they made the full switch and it wasn't to support their research.

The old world order was the US would be mostly fair to its allies, and in return everyone would turn a blind eye as it pursued whatever it wanted in the third world. Because the west would never seriously challenge the US it never had to b

They would have helped regardless because it was in their interests anyways. Especially in the case of Canada the PM's popularity now comes from standing up to the "mean Americans". Where before compromise was possible its

The Big Bang Theory is an insulting characture. While some developers may like it - it's not really best way to endear yourself to a group of people.

It looks fancy enough and you can show your friends how retro you are. Sure a CD player would be better in every way, but everyone has those. Sound is really secondary here.

The key to a large code base is a hierarchical design. People are looking for a technical solution to a design problem. No matter what technology you use if you don't maintain the hierarchical layers your code will turn to mush. Mic

Firefox didn't even have tabbed browsing in 2003 and everyone else was in the IE6 winter. FF was only 1 year old at this point. Were you using another browser?

YC seems very oriented to Software and other businesses where iteration costs are low. In hardware you have to spend some money to test product market fit. The only way to not lose your shirt is to follow a waterfall approach with more tr

With this it attack it should be possible to extract the keys and access the encrypted home partition. Disk encryption and TPS chips are supposed to mitigate physical attacks. Its worrying if Ubuntu doesn't care about that vector.

Is the code actually bad or just different? Consider the costs of enforcing a different coding style from what previously existed - is there a business case for it?

The police aren't being asked to enforce a civil action. Theft is a crime and the police do not need the victim to approve action against the criminal. They simply didn't want to follow up.

Shows how far AMD has come. They were close to bankruptcy at the time this deal was made. I doubt they would have made the same deal today, but it was life and death issue at the time.

While the EPA certainly has done a lot of great things, they've also been a vector for NIMBYism. Not every cut back of the EPA should be seen as an attempt to return the 60s.

If a deal is complicated it's to screw you over. I think people would be surprised at how much of the economy runs on handshake deals.

Those 486 towers with turbo buttons are going for >$500 these days. Seriously search ebay for a 486 and you'll see the crazy prices they are getting.

Canadian companies are very insular and don't compete globally for talent. While some companies do recruit abroad its the rare exception.

I'm arguing against the idea that people truly believe "every life is worth saving" even by effective altruism advocates. Effective altruism is only arguing how we should ration the resources we've already allocated to

You seriously underestimate the burden the US places on its expats and banks that do business with them. Its to the point most foreign banks will not do business with US nationals.

Capabilities are not inevitable. You have to create R&D programs to bring them to fruition. Is the complaint here that its rolled up under the same line item?

It would because there are people we don't know how to save yet. The only way to save a cancer victim is to spend all of our time on cancer research. I think what most people mean is that they are willing to go to first order effor

The A-10 is useless against countries that pose an existential threat. The US military has to plan for combat with peer nations if it wants to serve its purported role as a national defense force. Just because we've spent the last 20

Have the client weave them together. Sever A says extra data is on server B and the UI sends another request. This is easily solvable - and certainly far easier than splitting up the corporation. At worst some features don't get made.
