Working at a faang level company is associated with a large enough increase in income that it could support a handful of families in developing countries. I don't know what purpose it serves to downplay just how substantial that amoun

Everyone bears some responsibility if you've ever interacted with any entity that profits off of TM or helps TM make profit. I don't find it's particularly useful to spend any thought on what people with minuscule responsibil

I don't think any idea that puts more responsibility on centralized government is destined for great success until there are stronger movements to force the governments in question to behave pro-socially. As it stands in the U.S. the

There weren't two reasonable parties involved or else there never would've been a house built on land someone else owns. That is not a reasonable mistake. Unless millions of dollars of investment is pocket change, in which case l

Trump won against hillary spending roughly half as much as she spent and spent proportionally even less to win the primaries. He's not a candidate that wins based on money, which is in contrast to almost every other election in modern

I would enjoy seeing the studies that show they are harmful in the doses that humans are exposed to as well, I don't know much of anything about this subject.

There is no hypocrisy in cattle farming. No species on earth other than humans care about another species existence other than how it will benefit their own species. I'm not saying humans shouldn't be different, but there is no hy

I personally empathize more with the concerns of poor humans than I do mistreated animals and increasing food costs seems likely to increase their pain. I'll gladly wait for technology to improve the lives of animals, but I think it&#x

I'm not sure where you're drawing your implications from, but that is not implied, to me. I frequently see the concept of privacy applied to situations where an entity isn't required to ID themselves for the sake of privacy.

Not exactly correct, it does have "core erlang" as a compilation step, but they both have that as a compilation step ultimately compiling to beam bytecode.

It's a language known for having a great runtime and tooling but subpar language semantics. Makes sense to me, at least. Most of the benefits of go with fewer drawbacks.

Where would they go instead? Massive layoffs seem to be happening widely enough across the board that any real alternatives probably aren't hiring that aggressively.

which part is a scam, again? I see interesting open source software and them funding open source with real world money. If this is what scams look like I hope we see more of them.

Naturally I don't think I care too much or I would care less. I believe I care an appropriate amount. Unstable leadership doesn't seem likely to provide stable software. I'm not going to invest time and energy learning some

geez, I really wanted to love this project, but it's just one piece of drama after another with someone inside of that project.

I usually assume it's going to be a controversial take, but controversy shouldn't be inherently negative to anyone. Plenty of the best things we have today caused and were propelled by controversy.

I'm curious what the author's loose definition of "API" is, if all of those API's that were presented were somehow not API's to the author (strictly speaking, they were definitely all API's).

I've never come across someone that was more enlightened by what I do when using the word "engineer" vs using the word "coder". If anything I would assume coder elicits a more accurate mental image than something a

well I'm not making a value judgement, but we're talking about odds, not "good" or "bad"...if 20% of women go after a software job and the field is made up of an even higher %, that suggests the odds are amazin

I do believe there are unique challenges to being a woman in tech, but the odds seem in favor of women doing well both back in the 70's and today with todays stats having roughly 20% of CS grads being female while some 23% of SWEs are

Well, at the highest scales they launder in plain sight with completely de-anonymized banks and the banks get a slap on the wrist. So that might be considered a different category of problem all together.

that's not true, you can launder money many ways without incorporating or even using a company...just one example would be paying cash for used vehicles and reselling them...or buying crypto mining hardware - that's just off the t

Criminals and launderers have never and will likely never need to incorporate. Sure, it's a tool they might use, but at best you'd take some of their margins away from them. Doesn't seem like a great trade to me, stealing som

A company that specializes in helping people escape from horrible rulers would be an example. Not everything deserves to be public. There are always as many good reasons to hide as there are entities that need to be hidden from.

The author of that book seems to exaggerate quite heavily, often stating that there's only one proven diet that reverses heart disease, which I find completely overstating the evidence. I do think he's onto something, but he compl

I thinks it's more just stigma around all diets and keto just gets lumped into the category.

you call it "near slave wages" whereas they might call it "enough wages to survive" - whose description is more relevant here? If they wished to not work at the sweatshop - they would stop working at the sweatshop. Whos

The owner very well may use the profits to attempt to keep the workers in a situation where they need to work in sweatshops (thus benefiting the party owning the sweatshop) That is still objectively better than starving to death and as such
