Not true from the anecdotes, and admittedly just anecdotes, that I've seen. Top performers get some token, Approved by Legal™, <2% cut to avoid it being classified as a low performer firing, with a larger but still proportional per

That’s perfectly fine, imo? There’s clearly a disadvantage to not having any meritocratic considerations during the hiring process and it will eventually come back to bite the hiring company. That said, everyone has free will and should be

Why not? This is reality and how the world works. Attractive men and women get promoted more easily, get better service in bars and restaurants, etc… to infinity. This idea that it’s more worthwhile to wail at the sky about how the world

This is the hand they have been dealt. The solution is to detach your motivation and happiness from caring about how you are perceived. Not wishing the real world was complicit in your denial of reality. The only person whose opinion on

Why do you think anyone, female or otherwise, being demoralized means something “wrong” is occurring? So silly to form a moral/ethical framework on something as intangible, fickle, and culturally influenced as people’s feelings. Also,

Does anyone know of a halfway decent _truly_ uncensored search engine? One that’s free from “morality” censorship at a minimum and ideally also resistant to DMCAs, etc…

I’m currently doing two startups: one with rapid consulting-esque development and one more long term B2B one. I would 100% be using Phoenix for the the majority of the projects in the former if it had static typing. Have been a fan since

Sounds like a great way to get those two minutes to turn into two hours from here on out and all your calls “accidentally missed.”

Fwiw I disagree with it being unhealthy and I view myself the same way. It IS lucky that my only hobby/interest I’ve ever really had also happens to be something that pays so well. Nothing unhealthy about recognizing one’s luck and be

It shouldn’t… It would be free on github pages, netlify, and others. Cloudflare should make anywhere else effectively free, as well. It’s likely a decision to reuse whatever existing hosting/deploy strategy he uses for the rest of his

Agreed with everything except the first sentence. People's subjective judgements of normal have been warped because most people are fat. Hell, 42% are obese. Everyone is the captain of their own life but at people should at least be

I'm pretty sure this isn't true. Just take a look at data of American BMI over time[1]. I don't think you can explain that away as "people are tall" (BMI takes height into account) and muscular, with a straight fa

"The giant bag of money" has been a thing for a long time -- it predates whatever branding issues people perceive them having lately.

Learning about nominative determinism is commonly one's first peek behind the curtain.

Well that's a strawman. That is not a belief I hold and no where did I claim or imply I did. There's nothing in my comment, or in von Neuman's stance that I'm aware of that, that endorses world domination. I also don&

If your goal is preservation of Earth and not the human species then yes, that may be a sound action. > who knows what's best for everyone based on their own personal views and experiences, who takes no input from anyone else, becau

And should nuclear war ever occur? ~70 years is a relatively short time frame. Check back with me in another 200 and let me know if your comment still holds.

I fail to see how pushing for a strategy that, from a game theory point of view, was sound makes him a lunatic. Plenty of people don't view the preservation of life as the be all end all and if that strategy had been followed and it ha

SA always has struck me as self-important normies who don't think they're normies. If anything can claim to be the catalyst for modern internet culture it's irc + 2chan (for actually birthing 4chan).

There are times this makes sense to do (mapping an enum to a db without enum support eg mssql) but this isn’t how I’d do it. Personally I use stringer[1] to handle all the string generation and then implement the valuer and scanner interfac

Please do not leave comments like this without _some_ elaboration. Linking to a one hour long podcast is not sufficient, especially without so much as a timestamp.

The internet allows for mass influence of the population by third party actors. This is largely China vs Russia. I have trouble not playing this out at scale and drawing the conclusion the internet inherently invalidates a lot of the assu
