I really liked the analogies the author used to demistify git usecases. I also agree that it probably doesn’t make sense to use other version control systems if cost and learning (which can also be modeled as cost for the company) are not f

They say Proof is in the pudding. I am wary of applauding before seeing how well this is implemented. India is known to come up with lot of big programs that make good rhetoric, but not all of them are implemented with equal amount of vigor

I don’t know how much time he spends code reviewing. But if at the end of the day he wants anybody to get the complete context of what the change entails by looking at the PR... I would think the code review process is more elaborate and ti

One thing I was hoping to get answered is, what is the revenue growth or dip these companies have seen. I think that may give a better context to this story. Job loss headlines alone sounds like doom and gloom, but that may or may not be th

I think the responsible way to handle it is, you inform Apple in a closed way. Once they come up with a fix, if you think they didn’t come up with a fix soon enough, make that information public then on how long it took Apple to turn this a

Closed disclosure is responsible disclosure. Moving past the terminology, I am an Apple user as well, I am pretty satisfied with how quickly Apple resolves issues. Now if every person started disclosing vulnerabilities via twitter without g

I thought it was a good/enjoyable article and it shed light on many things for me. Reading some of the comments below, and having known some Chinese people ( I am not east asian) I want to point out that it seems like many people misse

For people dismissing it as vote bank politics... I want to say policy is more complicated. If the govt reduces taxes for people in low income range is that vote bank politics? If government provides free education to the poor is that vote

I wonder if its a person or a corporation/org that bought the painting. Number of people who may buy such a painting is probably only a handful.

Did you read my other comment about why Fibonacci promoted the decimal number system? Because, at least he thought in his qualitative assessment that the Decimal number system was better and he brought in its adoption in the roman world (Fe

I think this article fails to capture the importance of zero. While the idea of zero itself isn't staggeringly mind blowing, the real greatness with zero came in with development of decimal/ Hindu (positional) numerical system and

But that wouldn't appease the public who wanted him fired? If the public( let's say women's group) aren't appeased and they boycott google, it affects google ? It is possible that google gave an offer to James D to be si

I for one believe James Damore wasn't fired for his views on women, but Google fired him because he was a PR problem and that could affect their business/financial bottom line. Google probably understands the user base and decided

Thanks swatkat for a good gist. I found it odd that the nytimes mentioned a yoga study which I would guess was not among his super critical contributions and the purpose of which may have a fun study/angle to it like Alan Shepard playi

Hi Peter, Thanks for offering to do this. According to new USCISs rules , if you are on H1b and you were let go, you can be in the US two months to find a new job and have your H1 transferred. What happens if you stay say slightly over 2 mo

My take away has been that it is not clear beyond doubt that higher minimum wage is better in the long run. If both the studies had agreed that it is better, yes, it makes sense to enthusiastically adopt it. However if studies have results

Presumably for this author, when he came of age to work, he didnt need to support his parents or his brothers, so he had the luxury to look for true meaning in his work and had enough balance in his checking account that quitting wasn'

This is free market capitalism that Rupert Murdoch's company Fox News promotes. Google News fundamentally improved the online content publication system by making it cheaper to its consumers. Earlier, there were too many news companies

If people had a choice to live in a country where it is hard to start "meaningful" companies vs living in a country where it is so easy to start companies that you can even start stupid companies, I would think most people here wi

I understand the point the author is trying to make, but I do want to point out, that if you lived in another country unlike USA, it would be hard to even come up with a product like the quip or the juicer (however useless you may think it

Part of the problem is also because of lack of education. Unlike in the west, literacy rate is not as high, hence they miss out on the knowledge and awareness that can come from being able to read. But, India is making progress even on that

The one thing I would have liked to see in this article would have been the benefits and downsides of both qualities. Intellectual Egotism, and Intellectual Modesty. That would have been a balanced approach. There are people who know that t

Any idea that can't be tested or challenged at any point of time, I am worried about such an idea. No idea is fundamentally true or absolutely right in all contexts. I am a liberal and a progressive, but there are many progressive idea

Not sure why I got down voted. What I am saying here is - from the university point of view, if universities are worried that the platform is used for spreading fears via nonintellectual arguments, they can create a framework to mitigate

I agree with this article 100%. If universities are worried about "ignorant" people spreading misinformation (if they give a podium to people who they think are un-intellectual), what the university could do is have a framework on

I think part of the problem is giving too much power to middle management in tech, which I think is unnecessary and many companies like google have tried to obviate this problem.

I hope I am not downvoted because I have a different view. I think Trump is a show man to some degree. He has said in the past he wanted to be in Hollywood. This is important to understand what drives him. I think what Trump is doing is a

I don't think we should say let's pay for the invasion with their oil, it's probably more accurate to say let's take their oil or steal it because when you say 'pay' it implies Iraqis asked for invasion(which t
