I wouldn't say it oozes with "survivorship bias". Clearly by your logic, any possible advice given to anyone oozes with survivorship bias, which is silly. I would argue the tech industry is more egalitarian relative to other

Mindful meditation will do wonders for you. So will smoking weed (waits for inevitable downvotes by puritans, conservatives, and charlatans of the highest order). Weed will give you the emotive catharsis you desire, in a healthy and positiv

That sounds an awful lot like embrace, extend, and extinguish in my woefully uneducated opinion.

I'm sorry but that is complete bullshit. Granted each drug has a subjective and unique experience due to the nature of your biochemistry, but by and large the experience of MDMA is relatively harmless. [0] The serotonergic effects a

No, because telecom specifically has very high barriers to entry (infrastructure, licensing, etc).

I think you misunderstand the point of FOSS. It doesn't matter if government funds it (Tor) or if private interests fund it (entire GNU ecosystem). It's about freedom to distribute and modify the source as one sees fit.

Biometrics may alleviate some of these issues, but you have a lot of compliance/regulatory headaches to worry about. Not to mention privacy issues.

Bishounen is quite popular in Japan, many studios often use this art style, as well as female and male mangaka. Also "Aztec vampire thingies"? Kars and his lot are the progenitors of mankind.

You missed my point entirely. The reason why women are objectified is that sexuality is hidden in public in America. That's why hyper sexualized imagery exists in comic books and the like. This is a unique and peculiar American problem

Articles like this further reinforce that we have major issues here in America around sexuality. Why can't we teach our children that sexuality is a positive thing, not something that's akin to commiting a capital offense? When we

A planned economy loves having a high supply of labor in the same profession. It keeps the ball rolling ("bread for all"). A humorous example is Egypt under Nasser. You need one person to fetch the passport, one person to stamp it

I cannot upvote your comment ( and the parent ) enough. If the labor market in tech was a perfectly competitive market where all parties had perfect information, hiring would be a lot more straightforward. However, as you state, cognitive b

I think you've missed the point entirely. This article sheds light on alternative ways of human input for computing devices. It also presents an innovative, if not slightly impractical solution to a problem the author faced. This coul

It may be anecdotal, but I too have had success with pot. My sleep schedule has been more regular, compared with the alternatives. At any rate they are less harmful for you compared to say benzos or z-drugs like Ambien.

I was really surprised by the article's premise and conclusion. I'm pretty sure the likes of Google and Facebook have extensive datasets that can be mined which provide useful insights. It seems to me that since the definition is

That's where MOBAs come in. It crystallizes the essence of PvP MMOs and gives them arena style gameplay like Quake. Another reason why they tend to be the most addicting of online games.

My point about Haskell was not to say that it was more intuitive for imperative programmers, rather, it was to demonstrate a syntactic sugar construct that eases programmers in. Because Go's syntax is so similar to C, it is confusing b

A bit OT, but probably the biggest roadblock for me switching over to Go is the wonky syntax. Are there any plans to make Go more accessible to someone coming from more traditional languages? (i.e. like "do" notation in Haskell) I

For the record, jacquesm has been civil while detailing his criticisms of Microsoft. The irony of your post is that you are behaving like an asshole, but you don't see it that way because you are blinded by your loyalty to a singular e

First and foremost, I think you need to read about Blub. [0] Also, idiomatic Scala code is perfectly readable. You have no right to complain about readability until you've dealt with spaghetti code written for Megacorp Inc, that comple

To be fair, understanding I/O in Haskell takes quite a bit of mental gymnastics. :) The I/O monad modifies the Universe that contains the set of all functions that comprise your program (if I even understand the concept correctly)

In theory, yes, and these days reputation plays an extremely important role because of the massive amounts of network effects social media and the like provide. I was never a fan of Microsoft because they historically shipped substandard pr

Perhaps obligation is a poor word choice. I meant it more in the sense of the invisible hand and rationality. As a rational actor, Microsoft was maximizing their utility, given whatever their utility function/curve is.
