Umm.. maybe? I'll wait and see. Not that I have much of a choice with the current hardware availability issues..

It's the game industry way. Diversity this, inclusiveness that, but when you want to go on holiday for Orthodox Easter instead of Catholic Easter, we have a problem. And you realize it's all pandering and saving face in front of t

I thought about it. Maybe it's a cultural difference. Maybe you're right, at least when it comes to right now and American society. Sorry if my comments seem crude or inconsiderate.

The creation of such laws is only a matter of (perhaps very long) time. You think this is an "arbitrary" viewpoint? Fine, give me your best argument why what John Deere is doing is "good".

I don't think having a monopoly should be a requirement to take legal action against nasty practices in general. If somebody is beating his wife, should that be ignored because, you know, she can move out?

It's a 100% pure lottery. I'd easily answer some of the questions, but for others I stand no chance without prep time. For example, I've re-learned implementing a self-balancing binary tree at least 3 times in the past, and I

If I start a side project, I find myself wanting to work on it instead of my daily job. But if I make the project my daily job, I want to work on something else. So no side projects for me, please. And I know plenty of other people who func

Ordered by chance of decline (IMHO): 1. Netflix (~50% chance) - I feel it's only bundled with the rest of FAANG to make it sound better. In any case, HBO/Disney/Apple/whoever producing a cultural phenomenon like "Ga

I'd pay for a search engine where I get to customize this kind of stuff.

I will move to a part-time job and start a physics degree. There are many crazy things coming up in science, and I want to be a part of it.

The amount of time it takes to learn all that is like 15 minutes. And it's one-time investment.

It's not the size, it's how you use it.

Reminds me of that early Facebook game where you could "buy" your friends, and every time someone buys them, they become more expensive. (with extra steps)

Or centuries. Back in late 17th century, people thought the Ottoman Empire will fall apart any moment now, but the "falling apart" took like 200+ years.

When Niels Bohr was on a visit to Princeton, he wanted young Feynman's personal input, because he knew Feynman would tell the truth rather than be intimidated into agreeing with every word.

Unlike the concrete-and-glass boxes, it makes you feel things, which is already a plus in my book.

It has less hackers, I'd give it that. But yeah, in every other conceivable way the old BNET was miles ahead.

Yeah, that's a problem. To the person who downvoted me: I'd like to hear some arguments. Perhaps you don't need to. But that's irrelevant -- the world at large does. That's the main point of the post, too.
