There's much more technology involved than Cochrane acknowledges. Alex didn't on-sight that climb: he practiced, over and over again, using ropes and gear that have existed in their current form for 60 years at best. The same goes

Is WeWork paying market rent to Neumann, or is it paying more? Did Neumann negotiate vigorously with Neumann for the best possible rate? With real estate, how could you tell? CEOs have a fiduciary responsibility to the other stakeholders of

A contract is an agreement, not a piece of paper. If you all agreed that he would represent you, than he was bound to do so, no matter what got written down. That, at least, is the theory. There are of course many, many steps between a theo

I've had no trouble with spacemacs on nixos: I just let spacemacs manage its own elpa/melpa packages. Works the same as on any other system. What's the issue with keys/secrets you've had?

To be fair, many cats try very hard to reciprocate with food. It's not their fault we don't appreciate a nice fresh mouse.

It's not really anti-competitive, and it's very unlikely to be illegal. It's just a fairly classic natural monopoly. There's only likely to be one major classified ad company, because advertisers want to use the site with the most users, an

True. But with very general code, like this library, it would be difficult for unit tests to cover more than a small fraction of the domain.

The Haskell frameworks do this, more or less: www.snapframework.com, for instance.

Query isn't a String. String interpolation[^1] would de-sugar to something like this: query conn ("select x from users where name like " ++ username) ++ is a function that expects two Strings. The "select..." stuff isn't a String, qu

Yes, you can write a Query type that is vulnerable to SQL injection, if you want to. But if you write a secure version, you only have to write it once. You only have to maintain it in one place. You only need to test it in one place. And if

It's called a deceptive cadence -- that's the I V vi part. The IV is warmup for the V - I cadence that ends it all. "Deceptive" because vi is one note away from I, but in minor, not major. It's a well-known pattern; sorry the internet let y

Agree with your thesis, but John Williams is the wrong guy for your point. He's a popular composer too, in his own way. You could point to the Neo-Classicists -- although Prokofiev's dead, of course. Or there's Penderecki; perhaps a hard se

Different, not difficult. On the whole functional programming is no more difficult than imperative/OOP. It's just a big switch for programmers used to imperative programming (i.e., most programmers).

As it happens, most trial court judges in the US are elected. See here: http://www.brennancenter.org/content/section/category/state_... Judge Alsup is a federal judge, so he's an appointee, not an elected official. But most judges do need

That data from the 90% on slice X is valuable because you're trying to confirm, or falsify, that X is better, quickly. The strategy is "look closely at this pointy thing to see if it's a needle or a sharp piece of straw."

Hiring people on objective criteria only is really, really hard to do: if you're sure that's what you do, you almost certainly don't. We---all of us---judge people on a whole host of superficial qualities, many of them linked to gender. You
