I like to think Elon Musk, and Clarence Saunders (the Piggly Wiggly guy) have a lot in common. I hope Elon learns from Saunders magnificent story. You can be smarter than Wall Street, but wall street has the NYSE, and the SEC on their sid

What if google used location services to detect I was in a burger king, and showed me sponsored ads on the top of my search page on my phone, and McDonalds happened to be the highest bidder. I don't think the trigger for the ads chang

Can I load a banner ad from McDonalds on a webpage from my phone if I'm in BK? I don't think legislation that might prevent that would be reasonable. Just because this is projected onto the real world doesn't make it differe

Reddit has some valuable users, but its poorly monetized. For example, I dont trust political support reddits... after 2016 they all feel gamed. I think a paid sub, a sub that has a monthly subscription which added an extra level of scrut

I think the world needs a more efficient last mile delivery service. Like tubes or something. Guess it wouldn't be so bad if we were fully transitioned to electric vehicles, powered by renewable energy... But that's going to tak

I'm just an armchair general, so take this for what it's worth. I view US vs China in the same way I view Japan vs US in WW2. At the start of the war, we're going to start with the maximum amount of resources. We have more

Now imagine we went to war, and China was not on our side. We have the headstart, but if we needed to start manufacturing more equipment, we're at a disadvantage. I think this kind of supply chain issue is a national security concern.

I used to be a .net dev, then I switched to Ruby then to a polyglot role using python/php/javascript/.net. Today Laravel is my goto for new web development. For me, it is equal in strength to RoR, or ASP.NET CORE MVC. All

How would this compare to my 980ti? It's been working pretty well for VR, but I've been wondering if maybe there's some value in upgrading soon.

I recently installed OpenSuse tubleweed. I'm not sure if I just had a weird installation, but both python 2.7, and python 3.6 were installed. That's great, but the "pip" command by default was pointed at pip3.6. Imagi

I think the part about this that is truly successful, is the use of slack significantly lowers the transaction cost of adding the documentation. In a wiki, where there is a certain level of quality expected, you might make the decision to

I've personally read the literacy tests designed to disenfranchise black voters. I don't think I could've passed it myself. So I think there's a pretty great historical precedent against the ideas of tests. On the othe

I don't think that necessarily works out, because uninformed is the default. It takes a considerable amount of effort to become informed, at least to a point where you can properly articulate the pros and cons of each "side"

"considering how much of a value add, it is just to have his name for whatever company he was working for." Unless he's working for a javascript tool builder, why does his name add any extra value to the company?

I switched from OSX to Ubuntu/Unity a few years ago, and recently switched to Fedora/Gnome. I found the transition from osx pretty efortless, and would say I prefer Gnome over Unity.

I've been building a ssms clone for hive too. One of the biggest complaints from the business when we switched from SQL server to Hadoop is the terrible tooling.

As a Fedora user, I'd be one of the first to admit that Ubuntu is more user friendly. The installation of the graphics drivers for example was a HUGE pain on Fedora. Getting everything in gnome setup was quite a chore. Printer setup

A question I'd probably ask the coffee experts, what's the difference between a Chemex and a Mr Coffee? Seems like it's both just hot water going through a filter.
