Because a simple thought experiment disproves his point and criticisms of the West. If the “troubles” of a society are really the disparity between the richest and poorest, then a country like Somalia would be a glorious example of liberty

I don’t think context matters in this case. It is interesting to note that the “context” in which minimum wage laws are argued for in different countries might be different, but the outcome is just the same. Whether it is out of ignorance o

aws lambda for me. Just send that data out and get it later when it’s ready. Run a simple python function to do your processing on the aws side. So far I’m pretty happy with it. I minimize the need for maintaining a redis + worker etc

I agree with this statement: "There will always be demand for interest bearing risk free government debt". Now go ask investors how they feel about Greek/Argentinian/Venezuelan etc bonds. A country is just a large collec

Terrible comparison bro. One company is built on tech that’s been around for decades.

Yes, but you’re also doing the typical apples to oranges comparison here. Just like the ol’ “China is light years ahead in mobile payments!”. Well sure, because we have a mature credit card system that works well and the Chinese never had a

You’re forgetting the C and C++ for the OS and other binaries. Throw in some python to bring this all together and some Go for a bit of spice. I get your point, but they probably asked “what language do you develop with”.

There wouldn’t be a critical number of women required to create a standard Marine rifle platoon. You’re essentially talking of 3 squads of 12+ people/squad. Never mind a supporting platoon of weapons(machine guns/mortars/assa

Heh right on then! I guess not many people were itching to go to KY? Though I’m sure you would live like a king with $100k+/yr !

Hate to be this guy, but I’d like to point out that this posting is not for a truly “remote” position. Unless it’s recently changed in the past couple of days, they really want a “remote” that lives in Kentucky. Save your time if you don’t

I’d beg to differ. Go ask any XXXL wearing guy what happens if they clean up their diets.

You haven’t stated where you are from, nor how would they know about any of your residency papers( unless it’s linkedin and you write about it within the application). But what makes you think it’s not just them ignoring you/got too ma

Elon Musk got asked what’s the best way to get started on building a space oriented company and his response was essentially “build a billion dollar internet company first”. By innovating and letting private individuals to do as they please

Thanks for the quick response. I guess I’ll try to be more specific. What are they specifically looking for and how are they measuring that? Granted, everyone wants the “smart, motivated” + some other synonym for a great person. But are the

I appreciate the work that you place into this. But again, what exactly are the startups you with* looking for? If they are hurting for talent wouldn't they take more risk in acquiring the talent just like they are an unknown company w

Haskell has a sweet strongly typed compiler that infers types so you don’t have to get bogged down with boilerplate. I think F# does as well if I remember correctly and it uses the .Net compiler (idk the name)

What’s the story here? Seems like Koch Bros are against raising taxes. They aren’t “killing” anything. Let’s assume the tax raise will only go to public transport. Let’s assume for now it’s a good plan and actually wanted by the public. The

If an investment has outsized returns would it not be due to some innovation ? Also the purpose of an investment is a return. I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but what you’re mixing up research funding with capital investments

I mean...so go do it ? That’s the point. You might be a better version of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, but if you’re not striking out on your own you will never get the rewards of the person who actually did do it. At this point all you’re say

Your example isn’t that accurate. Imagine being a talented sailor coming into an already sea worthy vessel. That’s for sure worth something. Now imagine having to create convince people to invest in your crazy boat idea, build the darn ship
