Can somebody explain to me the existential threat AI is posing to the search business? I am familiar with ChatGPT composing reasonable sounding answers to prompts. I get that I could type in "what's the best vacuum cleaner under

Police are tasked with maintaining law and order . Laws are equal for all people. Order is a set of subjective social rules that keeps everything in its "correct" place. Maintaining order often requires not enforcing the law equa

I mean, just make it 30%, or whatever, of stuff that uses their in-built app store payment . If you don't want to use their payment infra, you don't pay and you make whatever arrangements with the user both parties agree to. It

Yeah I dunno where they're going with this. You can ski in the snow perfectly comfortably if properly attired, but you can't bike? In fairness icy streets can get extremely dicey on two wheels-- no arguments there. The US in pa

Nothing short of seppuku streamed live via Oculus will redeem the honor of a business guy putting his honest level best effort behind some business things that didn't make as much money as he hoped.

Honestly as I operated a fully remote small business for a long long time, I think you're missing the real remote work lever. Access to talent. Dramatically increased access to talent. Exponentially increased. You can get anybody ac

It's a lottery ticket. You can be good, even very good, your whole life and do just fine. But these kinds of once-in-a-generation moonshots, they're a product of wild ass luck, so if you find yourself with one, you grab it with b

Dollar was way up as a global reserve currency relative to the euro, yen, yuan, pound last I checked. Did something change in the past few days?

I think if you have to pick a base for leadership, doing the thing you're managing other people in is probably the best. The worst in my opinion is finance-- it's like driving using the rear view mirror. No business has ever succe

The MBA is for people who want to skip right to "being in charge" without having to learn how to actually do anything first. The scary part is, if you went to a selective enough school, it kinda works. The Ivy League undergrad -&g

Is that true? I thought everybody got wiped out and he pocketed a huge check to make himself fabulously rich. Can you expand?

I feel obliged to push back on the "gay people would respect privacy better" narrative with a couple notable counterexamples. J. Edgar Hoover and Roy Cohn. I have to add that attributing virtue or vice based on nothing but person

The HR recruiter involvement in the hiring process is madness to me. I get that managing somebody through the pipeline is work, and probably a dev isn’t the right person for that job. But having HR out there rejecting resumes is insanity.

As much as I appreciate a well turned phrase, I am highly suspicious about reading documentation written by someone who doesn’t fundamentally understand the topic. I find tech writing skill to be necessary but not sufficient to competent at

Man it sounds like guaranteed lifetime employment. If everything is on fire, all day, every day, then nothing is on fire.

In Utah (home of lake powell) 80% of our water goes to agriculture, which in turn provides.... 1.6% of state GDP. The overwhelming majority of that state GDP goes to cattle and the feeding of cattle. Not just meat, but the most water inte

Gonna need some citations on that one big hoss. Most of the talk out of California lately is farmers in an arms race to drill the deepest well, because they're planting water-hungry crops like almonds like fiends (good profit margins

Not gonna lie, I think the jvm integration is a big win for clojure as a language. The fact that you can pull in and interop with established jvm tools and libraries makes using a niche language like clojure a possibility for professional

This is something I have been a witness to in my personal life, and you're right-- I don't have the tools to wrap my brain around this. I'm familiar with disabilities. I get that. You're unable to do this thing that o

I feel like your advice assumes having a good faith debate on the internet about a subjective and highly charged opinion is a reasonable possibility if you express your opinion clearly and fairly. I would like to know what part of your deca

Even wide distribution of long-haul trucking exclusively on the interstate, or an automated bus-like commuter service (but actually good, unlike the regular bus), would be a pretty meaningful innovation, wouldn't it?

Hard disagree there: remote is opening coastal salary bands up to people outside the coasts. This is apocalyptic. People in the bay are way way way better paid, and not really that much better (they all came from someplace else, remember? Y

Honestly it’s already been done- release the wage numbers publicly. The only way screwing over long term team members works is if you can keep a lid on it. Wage secrecy enables all kinds of bad behavior.

I'm a partisan, of course, but I always found ocaml to be the practical choice for ML-style functional languages. All the functional type-y goodness without being shackled to it, you can let yourself off the hook if you need to, you c

I'm not really a haskell fan, but the lion's share of that effect more that likely comes from the small sample size of companies using haskell. Even if it were somehow superior, there just are enough people trying it to be coming
