Forget working 80 hours a week for the last 10 years. I've gotten as far as I have because I'm a white male American. I wish I would have known that 10 years ago. I woulda done a l…

I suppose its just blind luck or "the system" that made you a cynical asshole instead of someone busting his ass to learn all he can about the world so that he can contribute somet…

Have you noticed that the entire twitter conversation is between white people? White people invented cultural Marxism (i.e. respectable left-wing racism)

In popular discourse, "racist" is synonymous with "the-worst-thing-ever" because most real people believe in the first definition. They associate it with things like concentration …

Flask is pretty much the small framework of choice nowadays. It's been awhile since I've heard of anyone using anything else.

You'll find a lot of good ideas (and some bad ones) from Republicans if you hang out in right-wing circles. If you get your news from left-leaning outlets, then they are caricaturi…

It's funny that you mention this. In most American states, you don't even need ID to vote. We take vote security much less seriously than other countries.

BUT does it do social? Does it have a mobile strategy?

I have never heard an academic in a race-studies, Sociology, or Communications department seriously grapple with criticisms of the "systemic racism" hypothesis for the white/black …

"Underrepresentation does not equal racism" contradicts the academic party line ("systemic racism"). If a white person said something like that, they would get a lecture in "denyin…

What is the evidence that this is true? How much would it cost? (Coal provides ~30% of US electric power. It's not a trivial inconvenience to shut that down) As I recall, environme…

No, it's absolutely fuckjng deplorable when a government stops the free flow of goods, services, and information to protect archaic business practices.

Imagine if people could sell goods and services to each other without the resident government doing a quality check. What a hell that would be. Wait a second, is this a certified p…

Where do you think the post office makes most of its money? It's basically a spam operation that subsidizes a useful service.

I'm glad you've found a pocket of the company that you enjoy working in. But the CEO is a sociopath, and that's bound to cause some trickle-down unpleasantness in the future. It al…

Equivalent is 3 years of work for every one year of bachelors degree missing (so partially college helps)

The marginal utility of college is declining. Our near ancestors got a lot out of a college degree. The author is noticing that we won't get nearly as much.

Okay everybody - time to change your pitch decks.

Becoming familiar with dozens of esoteric APIs that may change next month is not the fun kind of learning. The practice of programming is full of a lot more busywork than it looks …

If the western world (re)colonized all the dysfunctional nations run by warlords that prevent relief from getting to people that need it, that would be very helpful. Strangely, nob…

Honest question - what does modern slavery have to do with white guilt? According to the wiki entry on modern slavery "Most are debt slaves, largely in South Asia, who are under de…

SNL had a good training video to help you. Google "Tom Brady sexual harassment"

Why do people think it's useful to import badly fitting, emotionally loaded labels from politics into software? Behold the stampede of engineers running away from the "conservative…

That's not true. As a former cashier, I can say that cards are about the same speed as cash for small purchases, and much faster for large ones.

Presumably the company has plans to invest the cash raised in the IPO to generate positive returns.
