Its beautifully written C code. Very readable and grokable.

> That must be why there were no successful companies in the United States before 1965. Of course there were. There were also lots of successful companies before we had highways or…

There is a broader definition of "infrastructure." For example, Medicare is infrastructure that is directly related to the success of any company in the United States. Has Tesla ev…

Yup, the 50% of the population that has managed to extract zero wealth from the system aren’t asked to put very much back in. Makes sense to me.

Who got more out of the system: someone getting weekly $400 check or someone who has managed to acquire 100M in assets? People on welfare aren’t getting nearly as much out of the s…

A new type of tax on the absolute wealthiest of the wealthy is not "taxing everyone to death." I'm sure there are some great ways we can reduce/improve government spending, but tha…

My point was that just because we impose a new tax on unfathomably wealthy people, it doesn't mean that we are inherently going to impose that tax on normal people. We can't be so …

"Your opinions are completely, totally, objectively false. Here are 3 of my opinions and unsubstantiated conjectures that prove so."

It’s simply pay for use. The more someone uses the system, the more they pay back into it. Anyone with more than 100M in assets has used the system a shit ton and owes a lot back i…

We all earned the money. Nobody makes 100M in a vacuum. That sort of profit only comes from taking full advantage of a country's infrastructure, its educated population, its safety…

Yup I totally agree, because bad things can happen we shouldn't try to do anything. Much simpler.

What you see on youtube is not what the judge and jury see in court.

If cops wanted to win the trust of the public and work alongside their fellow citizens to keep their communities safe, they would welcome to use of body cams and hold themselves ac…

Kudos to Joel for sticking with that obnoxious interviewer.

To me it sounds like this argument is claiming that "training models" is legally equivalent to "training humans". So are there other examples of a human being allowed to do somethi…

Oh I found the goto-definition works pretty well in RubyMine. I would imagine goto-definition not working well to be more an issue with Ruby being a dynamically typed language and …

Read through the Rails docs and you'll learn all the "magic" is pretty easily explainable, mostly just predefined naming conventions and directory structures and a bunch of preconf…

In 1 year I can stand up a system big enough that it would require 2 engineers to manage its ongoing maintenance, feature requests, bug fixes, 3rd party API updates, etc More softw…

Then why enforce any laws? Any enforcement is on the same slippery slope. I don’t think slope is nearly as slippery as you claim. There are miles of high friction slope between enf…

Putting up speeding cameras on public roads is not “unlimited surveillance” or “cameras everywhere”

Why is the solution to the abuse "don't use traffic cameras" instead of "hold people accountable for shortening yellow lights"?

What’s the difference between “constantly monitor behavior in order to coerce a desired response” and “enforcing the law”? Are traffic cameras a slippery slope to cameras in your h…
