A bit off topic but: It takes billions of dollars and many years just to construct things like subway systems in developed countries. The only way I see a mars mission happening is launching remote controlled equipment over the course of de

Interests aren't necessarily obsessions or passions. I think it's rare to be obsessed with any of those things, but common to be superficially interested. For instance many people will just watch a TV show and enjoy it, and maybe

Good, maybe this signals the leveling off and impending implosion of ad revenue. Internet 3.0 cannot arrive fast enough... I am tired of all these giant sites de facto controlling information repositories and communications channels because

I don't understand why minimum wage isn't just increased somewhat quickly over a few years. e.g. 7.25 -> 8.25 -> 10.25 -> 13.25 Over a few years to allow businesses to adjust their margins gradually. Increasing the income

We need to build bike lanes as their own adjacent network of lanes on our streets, with stop light integration within the city- meaning separation of cyclist and motorist, but adjacent -and bike lanes that run parallel to but removed from m

This is not his proposal. His 'Freedom Dividend' is a minimum guarantee of income. A person receiving $1,000/mo or more in benefits will not see any change at all.

It's mostly an attitude held by more casual players who don't want to spend money buying specific cards to play along with the current metagame. They see netdecking as either paying to win, which in some sense it is, in Magic: the

This is an absurd view to hold. English accepts an extremely wide range of pronunciations for almost all words, allowing it to be easily used (ironically) as a linuga franca. Re: 'That's just how it's pronounced' -->

Rebasing is perfectly fine for shared branches, all you have to do is pull —rebase and push —force-with-lease when changing branch history. I do this at work for all the feature projects I work on with my team. You mostly run into problems

The poster I replied to said there was 'no useful distinction' between the words, which is provably false. They are synonyms, not the same words, despite the fact that their usages might overlap in many contexts, there are context

The internet has been a series of echo chambers practically since its inception. That's how human society works most of the time. You don't need algorithms for that. People will just naturally delete or block people they don'

In college I had a (sort of) BS job at a real estate start up that was doing home renovations. They hired an accounting consultant to help them get their books together (dude was 75 years old, and they paid him something like 10$k/mo f

I don't know how you came to the conclusion that the quality of CS graduates is poor or how that the cause of this perceived lack of quality is somehow due to courses focusing on theory. In my experience very little in a run of the mil
