Shame I can't short Instagram and WhatsApp.

If a market can't be cleared using a spreadsheet with 2^16 rows and 2^8 columns then the market is not efficient. Largely because most of the trade strategies live in ancient xls f…

Turns out I need to read the Infinite Jest.

Nitroglycerin will make war too horrible to fight. Wonder where I've heard that before.

One can't run an industrial society on an agrarian power source. If we want to go on a holiday for winter, like the good old days, brilliant. But be honest. And be honest what will…

> means re-building the national transmission grid to favour battery models. You literally can't store enough energy in batteries to power the network. Yesterdays demand for SA was…

>Women suffrage If voting doesn't matter why would giving women the vote matter?

For health reasons if nothing else. Everything foreign that people have put in their bodies which isn't food or drink turns out to be poison over a long enough time frame.

> 2. Going out of your way to write a long article detailing all the shortcomings of those that partake in the thing you don't like. For those able to put words in order that artic…

Like the old discussion about freedom of speech. That the robber baron who owns the papers can say what he wants doesn't mean much to the man who is a black list for the rest of hi…

There is nowhere in the west where housing is affordable. In the UK you have to go to the Scotish mountains to find houses that are as affordable today as London was in 1990.

Honestly, seems like a bad idea. If the rich are willing to pay a premium for the top floors of a building forcing them to share the building with the poor will make them just buil…

I have seen a lot more 10x engineers that were just pilling technical debt on.

20 restaurants within 40 meters (120 feet for those in less civilized countries) from the ground floor of your building? That seems like hyperbole unless you live above a shopping …

>I’m going to ask you design and coding questions. My day job is engineering in systems that kill people or cost billions of dollars if they go wrong. I'm never going to ask you to…

Turns out we needed broken bones to realize why words never hurt.

Because they were forced out after they publicly called google out on their Chinese stance. They were facing no consequences when it was merely men they were chasing out of google.…

Google is a stale big corp that has not innovated in a decade. Expecting it to listen to its workers, who are now a commodity, is at best naive. Listening to dissenting voices only…

They are specifically being targeted for forcing google out of China according to the article. It was fine as long as they were merely targeting social issues within google.

Sounds like getting rid of troublemakers who bite the hand that feeds them. If anything this will make googles stock price go up.

Well at least you're being downvoted. Where do you draw the line at bigotry and perversion? Homosexuality, transexuals, polyamory, eating meat, necrophilia, cannibalism, bestiality…

>Unions striking and protesting against their companies for better wages seems acceptable. Why is protesting for ethical reasons without quitting faux pas? Because unions embrace t…

Have a try to synthetic speech books, I use espeak to create my audiobooks at 1000wpm for non-technical books.

Reality disagrees. If software development could be done in India, Ukraine or whatever your preferred third world country is it would be getting done there already. There's a reaso…
