It always has been. D and R are guilty of doing this as much and as often as the other. When one side has a majority, it's always the other which attempts to pull the "independent from..." argument.

One issue I see here is how much of the S&P500 (or general market cap) are we attributing to a US-centric view of global companies? That is, if a company is "in the US" but economically are not.

This is stupid. Really. Here we are in a world where the companies that own the assets (you know, the things that cost a lot of money) are worth less than the things that don't own anything. This doesn't seem "right" or

Here's what they didn't say... DHS shares all data with other groups. If those groups don't erase them then, well... they at least can say they delete them.

If they want to "learn" about generics perhaps they can read the literature of the past 30yrs and look at how other languages have adopted those learnings: Java, C#, Haskell, OCaml and Coq. Look, even allowing type aliases to beco

No, it's that when you abandon healthy markets and try to impose artificial constraints that fly in the face of basic economics you wind up with horribly perverse incentive structures. Can someone find that article about the landlord w

Let's see... Can't increase supply because NYMBY? Check. Can't increase rent because rent control? Check. Removing tenants next to impossible? Ok, this is true anywhere. Gee, I wonder why the incentives are all screwed up?

About the only two things I'm going to agree with here is the single underscore and lambdas. The single underscore import behavior is, by and large, a wart. You effectively can do "the same thing" two different ways and get t

No, many companies have net profit margin from revenue of less than 10%. So 4% of revenue is not the same as 4% of earnings.

TLDR: anti-competative laws shunted growth to areas like silicon Valley which didn't have them. Seriously, why do we even allow people not at a C level to be impacted by these laws that say you can't leave to start a competitor? M

You can view it. You just have to quickly hit the "stop loading" button on your browser. Looks like they've got some asset or something that attempts to load but doesn't. The website is there, otherwise. This is why the

That's because "we only hire the best." Also "we have not invested in our own hiring process so it's a total crap shoot but we aren't even cognizant of this fact."

From 5:30am-9pm my hours are for work, commute, family and chores. My wife usually falls asleep at 9:30-10. If I feel rested, I'll hack for 30min-1hr most nights. On the weekend, we both make sure the other has "my time." It&

Please teach unit testing. I'm constantly amazed at how many students can leave school without ever even hearing about this thing called "unit testing." They'll have to look it up when they get home. Those that have hear

Since my wife works in pre-fills and other things I can tell you for a fact that you still have to go through FDA approval. If you change something slightly, you go through approval. There are often clinical trials if the change is not incr

When I had less than 5yrs experience I used to ask these types of questions, thinking they showed the ability of a developer to reason out critical software issues. Then I met a guy who had practically memorized everything I could ask. He s

I just want to call out that Akka doesn't require you only interopt between services also using Akka. If it did, it'd lose quite a lot of the benefits you want to get out of an Actor library. In truth, to interopt or not is a deci

Writing a B+ tree from memory and making sure your infrastructure isn't doing something stupid are fundamentally different skills. One requires that you regurgitate the contents of a text book on a white board, the other that you can e

Go the Yammer route: they already have messaging down. Might as well make "rooms" that you can tweet "in."

Once upon a time I made a UI where there were several things. One of them was a gigantic text box with the title "Biography" and another a 2 character wide box with a title "years of experience." We had to change that to

How many studies can we find where the same data was used to come to completely different conclusions? More than you might think.

Teach math. SAT prep or other forms of "higher level" math such as AP calculus is best. That said, go over to one of the math name brand teaching places and find out what you earn from them an hour (half what you make on your own.

I get it but this is some scary stuff that pushes the bounds of ethics. I mean, on one hand we want to prevent insurance fraud because it impacts everyone. On the other, where do we draw the line? Should we even have to consider that a pace

You will never just be given something based on merit even if you feel you've earned it. You need to ask for it, then if you've earned it you will be given it. People can't read your mind and it's surprising how what you
