That may be true, but science is full of pompous, self-indulgent men who make brilliant discoveries. Of course, science is also littered with cranks who make grandiose claims of discovery - especially in physics. Curious to hear what people

Not OP but it could be difficult learning two languages and frameworks at the same time. If you really want to use Python for the backend while learning React, perhaps try Flask? It's much simpler than Django, especially for tutorial-t

Yeah that's why you need to be able to distinguish between the morality of supporting a democratic movement and shitting on a vulnerable minority. This is not hard.

Great advice. I have a friend who went into finance in the run-up to the Great Recession. He spent his first big bonus on a Ferrari. Then the crash came, and the Ferrari sat in a parking garage (over $1,000 a month because it was a premium

Pretty sure if Twitter decided to allow one candidate to post on its platform but denied another one access, there would be a strong case that Twitter is making an in-kind campaign contribution to the first candidate.

It's the cost of a bed in a subdivided apartment, not an apartment itself.

I'm a lawyer turned software engineer and I'm amazed at how much the two jobs have in common. Not the technical stuff, obviously, but in the mental tools that I use on the job - like understanding complex systems and its nuances a

When I was practicing law couple years ago people were just sending around Word documents with redlines for changes. I'm sure there are companies that make version-controlled, share-editing tools for contract markups but I don't t

Look up Communications Decency Act, Section 230. This is a good primer: https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230

Except that at the end of the civil contempt confinement the prosecutors often file criminal contempt charges.

Yeah but imagine that you already do and now you're explaining to your wife why you want to pull your kids out of their schools and move to the suburbs so you can take a job that pays half what you already make. I'm not saying I&#

It's a U.S. federal crime to conspire to kill a person in a foreign country. I guess they could have been extradited but since they were facing life (and in the federal system there's no parole), the Philippines didn't insist

Woah really? At my company (and others, at least according to my friends), MTG is really big among software engineers. Look around for sure - you'll find plenty of people like us!

What a weird story. So Mercer plays some home-brewed game based on politics. Who cares?

It's amusing to watch people defend Linus every time a post mentions his abrasive style. They always offer the same set of excuses: Linux is too important to leave to nice people! Linus only does this to people who should know better!

Honestly once you get into the groove the rejections really don't matter anymore. I've been rejected from companies that I forgot I even interviewed with - just gotta push forward and play the numbers game. That said, getting reje

Wow, your brother is an inspiration. Such hard work! I'm glad to hear he's in a solid place now.

This is not a universally adopted solution, and for good reason. Publishing the suspect's name/face as well as the details of the alleged crime encourages witnesses to come forward. Plus, from a free speech perspective, it seems c

It's almost as if people have different opinions about what constitutes the good life.

I mean that doesn't sound that bad? 2020 is only two years away.

Yeah, when you are young SV makes a lot of sense. But once you start a family? It gets very tough to stay here, very tough.

Are you serious? Do you want to get work done or argue about guns/abortion/taxes/foreign policy all day?

It goes beyond the general political mindset and what parties people in respective cities vote for. In SV people will blacklist you and even publicly call for you to be fired/ostracized if you are a conservative, as Thiel himself exper

Yes, but that's why healthcare investors stayed away from Theranos - that should have been a sign that the core tech wasn't workable. But MagicLeap had huge funding rounds led by Google and Alibaba. They presumably did their due d

What bootcamps are teaching their students HTML/CSS for 11 weeks? You should call them out by name.

It CAN be addictive. I have a friend who spends all his free time playing an iPhone game - even when we're hanging out at a bar he has it turned on and he glances at it to make sure his character is leveling up. He also spent $10k plus

My takeaway is that Uber does not in fact possess any Waymo trade secrets. Otherwise they would have included a license as part of the settlement.

by tannhauser23 9y ago
It's meaningless if Uber didn't in fact possess any Waymo trade secrets. You're not allowed to use other people's trade secrets anyway.

Yes, by all means, use a tool designed to fight the mafia and terrorists to criminalize a housing regulation dispute. That makes sense.

Yeah, and Amnesty International is a group with a "clearly stated agenda" to promote human rights. We still tend to trust their reports. I can't believe you're equivocating the Cato Institute with a pro-DPRK think tank.
