Can a keyboard shoot video, take a photo, record a podcast? Definition of “creative” seems narrow here.

I love Tokyo and HK. They are wonderful cities to live in and have terrific public services. Have you been to the cities you named?

There are benchmarks baked into the deal, so no jobs = no tax breaks. The cities should have known better than to play this game, but at least there's that.

"A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept" — China seems to have taken this to heart. - The amount spend by gov and private sector on education is insane; high literacy rate is an amazing accomplishment. - Requiring

From a shareholder perspective Facebook and Google have done pretty great. In fact, as an investor I hope the dual class structure continues. I’d much rather leave it to the founders and not have activist investors pushing their own agenda.

The most telling paragraph in the article is the last one: > "As is often the case with Amazon, what seem like strange or inexplicable new behaviors are often old retail strategies unfolding on the internet, quickly, and in plainer

How about the damage caused by the colonial oppression, the Opium Wars, Vietnam, and all the knock-on effects from those actions? Maybe we call it quits and start level again?

For consumers, navigation makes a lot of sense, especially when on foot, or on a bike. It's unsafe in many instances to use your phone, or even to wear headphones for turn-by-turn instructions. AR translation of text is already awesome

I took 4/10 doses 6 years ago and basically experienced the same thing — it's terrifying and the effects linger forever, but I feel thankful and lucky to have my life back

I dip my toes in every once in a while, I'd say the scene is a whole lot more vibrant I because of the ecosystem of online publications, youtube videos, and podcasts. Power creep is real. If you remember the days when Savannah Lions wa

I think it always helps to care about the quality of your craft. "Passion" seems to be the prevalent HR-speak for that concept.

Do you deal with international duties and tax as well?

All of this can be true at once—I have relatives who hold all of these positions. Like the US, China is a big country, with folks on all sides of the political spectrum. (the following is based on personal experience so YMMV) If anything, t

Misleading title. The last sentence of the article: > "They're not rejecting the concept," Della Volpe said. "The way in which capitalism is practiced today, in the minds of young people — that's what they'r

A nice part of the Coderpad experience is zero-setup for the interview candidate. Being web based is a huge advantage here. I wouldn't want to waste any time debugging plugin issues, firewall configuration, etc.

I second this. It's completely changed my relationship with email. I have to process around 200 emails a day as part of my work (full time manager) and Superhuman has become basically indispensable.

Judging by this graph in the article, and somewhat counter to the claim in the article: https://plot.ly/~aline_interviewingio/952.png?share_key=Htks... Looks to me that interview length is correlated with success rat

What's the performance like for large datasets, is there a timeout on query time, or a caching scheme behind the scenes? Also, this looks similar in functionality to ChartIO and Mode, do you have a summary of how this is differentiated

My pet theory: Code is N-dimensional - every set of braces, every nested function call, increases the execution by a dimension and humans are really only good at visualizing in 2 or 3 dimensions. Specific domains that are constrained to 2-3
