being in over his head while being "manipulated by an evil ex" still sound pretty rational. pretty desperate, but not too inconsistent at least.

what, an ejector to parachute the pilots, fuck the passengers? that would be pretty funny. It does save the airline pilot replacement training though. Or maybe an ejector to throw just the bad pilot out?

if he thought the leak will help his defense then it's not irrational at all, even if he has to pay for it now

I guess some lines of work are special like that! you could just say "a dude on a horse" instead of cossack, or a robber instead of a thug, but here we are...

this has never been done for any sustained period in any society ever, despite incentives of all kinds that were tried in the past. All human experience so far has been: this trend is irreversible. But, you came up with this random idea tha

that really doesn't explain why they keep having less kids, not more. Since the 80's their fertility rate dropped by some 30% but i doubt the 80's there were any less cutthroat or careerist than today.

yeah "better programmer overall" seems rather vague. The OP seems to be asking specifically "is it even worth it to stay in JS anymore", not "how do i become a well-rounded individual". I personally prefer to h

Technically, you're supposed to do a 410 or a 404, but when some pages being deleted have those extremely valuable old high-reputation backlinks, it's just wasteful, so i'd say it's better to redirect, to the "next

but this piece at least didn't really come across to me as preachy or anything. Just sort of describing how it happened. No idea if it's all accurate, but at least sounded reasonably honest and plausible.

What's worse, it might provide other incentives. If you know that you can always negotiate a soft landing, you're not as maniacally driven towards that unicorn status, which is required to make VC economics work.

it 100% depends on the project and is demonstrably false for many things I participated in. For example, if you are a fintech integrating with a bank - which is very important for moving money cheaply and being able to make the ends meet -

even if it does, a bunch of accessible data you can develop with is a godsend. Even if it were a completely commercial service, i'd still be happy to have some competition over the couple of monopolies that are left in this space.

> All of these existing sites are lying that's a weirdly cynical take. Even with advertisement, it's not all equivalent to lies. I've been to plenty of travel sites that sold me stuff that actually turned out great and mos

well, this is how real life works. This is how popular vote works. 99% of voters will never read any of that crap (maaaybe just the tldr from the news) but will happily opine, and popular vote is based on that. so not exactly uncommon.

I'll wait until they start posting studies about what happens to people a few years after they stop taking this next revolution - do they bounce back more than control or less?

yeah but going to sleep hungry, for me at least, is the absolute worst feeling. For me it's not just a matter of heart rate, if i'm hungry there is a good chance I will get no sleep at all. So if i end up for whatever reason not e

you're cherry-picking one city, in one industry that fell behind, and using it as an argument against all international trade? or just some international trade? what is your point?

Detroit is one mono-industrial city out of 20,000 cities in the US. Did the country as a whole gain by trading with Japan?

by twelve40 3y ago
i don't necessarily disagree, but why do you think it absolutely has to be symmetric in order for both parties to gain? When Japan was allowed on the US market, around 1960, their GDP per capita was like $400 vs. $3000 in the US. both

well... it is, but mostly for economic reasons. Contract army is the privilege of the very richest countries, and in most favorable conditions, too. To me, the idea to be obligated to go and die in some random place like Vietnam on the othe

in other words, we the taxpayers pay so that someone else can serve (voluntarily for a market salary) instead of everyone getting drafted.

dunno... that's probably a lot, but unlike say twitter, they do a lot more stuff. With Eats, you have to coordinate with restaurants locally, etc etc. So while it sounds a bit bloated, i think there are worse examples elsewhere in tech
