What are you talking about? You think Warren Buffet can covertly sell his holdings and not have anybody find out? If he executes any sales the brokers will have the records; if he transfer the funds to any bank in the world, there will be p

That's not what the person you are responding to said at all. Please stop dishonestly conflating the two theories. You can believe that a coronavirus accidentally leaked from a lab that was studying coronaviruses without believing that

The owner of Freenode might have a problem with that.

How is going to be 'cataclysmic' for FB? They can still serve up ads. The ads won't be as targeted as before, but they still have billions of users. Advertisers will spend money on the platform. Perhaps they'll have to s

Well, that particular sold for so much b/c it is a 9.6 graded sealed copy - even though the game itself sold 60 million copies, there are extremely few copies still available in such pristine shape. I'd argue it's more like t

I highly recommend Deryick Cooke's introduction which uses clips from the acclaimed Solti recordings to help you understand the leitmotifs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI-ZYf8TO54&ab_channel=Rodde...

My friends in Hong Kong care a lot. They were born and raised there. They're all making plans to leave because they don't want their children to grow up in a CCP-dominated Hong Kong.

I find attitudes like this mystifying. No one is saying that today's cancel culture is comparable to getting tortured, imprisoned, or killed for one's beliefs. We're talking about perfectly good and unobjectionable books bein

This is why parents who care about education put kids in private school or move out of SF.

This is the kind of privacy initiatives we need. While we argue in America about deplatforming, Iran, China, and other authoritarian countries around the world are actually suppressing and punishing free communication. Kudos to Signal for t

People here seem very certain that there won't be any negative externalities from tech companies deplatforming Trump and Parler. Let me raise several concerns. If you are a politician, are you comfortable with a few tech CEOs holding t

Do you have kids? Have you tried buying a home in a nice school district in the bay area? Implying that moving out of California is racist is quite the take.

Seriously. The idea that Seattle is somehow _far_ from nature can only be held by someone who never visited here. Or looked at a map.

People who write stuff like the OP have never actually been to other parts of the country. Good! Let 'em stay in SF.

They lost $600 mil in _2019_? And $700 mil so far this year? Woah.

It supports the OP's point. NY Times has switched from a revenues model to a subscriber model, which means they're strongly incentivized to publish articles that reinforce the worldviews of their paying customers. Before, when the

Did you read the article? There's going to be a paper published tomorrow in Nature and the MIT scientists who wrote it will be doing a press conference. This Brian guy is just amplifying the news - he's not the author of the study

Hey same here! Switched from law to programming in my mid 30s as well. Never looked back!

I switched careers too and I can tell you that the first job is the hardest to get. Build a portfolio and network hard. Take contract jobs. Do whatever it takes to get your foot in the door.

I started as a lawyer then switched to programming. Law is cushy in the sense that you work in a nice office. But the constant stress, endless "emergency" deadlines, missed anniversaries and celebrations, unreasonable clients, pre

The journalist and political classes read it religiously. They spend significant portion of their lives interacting with each other through it. It warps their perspectives and priorities, which has national impact.

You missed the point. The author is telling new bootcamp grads to _avoid_ companies that have algorithm-heavy interview processes because: "I would have spent so much time preparing for just one interview at one company when instead I

She's explaining why she doesn't think the "fundamental assumption behind evolutionary psychology" is valid - that is a wholly legitimate critique. After all, "shape of a person's skull informs his mental and e

It's really interesting to see the bottom-rung schools closing. In the U.S. the legal field has been saturated for years and I'm not aware of any law schools closing. I wonder if the easy availability of school loans is propping u
