    I immediately recognized this as a nice scaffolding to start the automation process of a slog task. There's lots of things that are difficult to fully automate. But breaking it dow…

    Very fair and thoughtful counterpoint. I think I may have been imagining that 'smart aleck private trying to get one over on the brute drill sergeant' trope. Totally agree that tac…

    If gesturing is a more effective way of speaking, then it make sense for the power structure to take it away from the subordinates. If a private could convince his superior to beli…

    On the ring map, with default settings, just stopping traffic with the traffic light for a second produces the dreaded rubber-band effect propagating forever around the circle. Fun…

    You left out the phrase "in my opinion" from your very strong opinion statement that alcoholism is not a disease. You could qualify your opinion, such as "in my professional opinio…

    A YC (2015 I think) backed company did just this. Collated Backpage ads to assist Law Enforcement in tracking down child sex slaves. At the time they were called Rescue Forensics a…

    Sometimes I get the vibe that it's a weird self-fulfilling prophesy of terrible SERPs. You reward freshness too much, so then people play that game. But you also punish duplicate c…

    I think you might be more accurate to say 'dead among highly innovative startups and tech giants'. You are probably totally correct long term on the dying, but it's going to be a f…

    My guess is that they would sue the Post Office if a postal worker ran them down too.

    I have seen this at my jobs. Usually the titles are defined by HR so they can set the pay range to some sort of industry standard for that title. They often do not reflect the type…

    Interesting analysis. I could see Dogecoin becoming the Whuffie of Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. The currency of karma. The tipping currency of the internet. The po…

    Two weeks is a lifetime compared to vaporware. It's interesting engineering that should keep improving as photovoltaics and batteries improve. A fleet of these sun chasing giant sa…

    I see a little trigger on the back on the right. I'm sure there's one on the left, too.

    Sure there are info product salesmen out there but you're missing the forest for the trees. I really think this PIH stuff boils down to familiar ideas like a MVP challenge. Build a…

    I'd assume it's probably easier to iterate and test without worrying if your ridiculously expensive robot is going to fall on it's face. Even something small like friction with the…

    Even if he's only a little rich as some say he is, a bit of money could put together a ragtag team of outsourcers. Anything's possible I guess. 16 year old dev managing some extra …
