    So nepotism = good morals? You pray everyone can make the choice freely and not be coerced into a decision they did not want. Let's pretend that your family is from the USA and has…

    Can I get a source on this please? In particular I would be curious about what is the breakdown in the % of female engineers and female management in Meta.

    How to get better at anything: 1. Find the limit of your abilities. 2. Push yourself to exceed your limit slightly. If the most you can bench press is 40kg, push yourself to bench …

    Can you talk a bit about how facebook measures impact from their employees? How is it defined? How closely do you think it tracks real impact. How often do people figure out how to…

    If you said this last week about Singapore I would agree with you. Have you looked at their graph in the last few days?

    Why do you believe that the optimal point for a business is maintaining the employees on the edge of quitting? What are the pros and cons of doing this?

    No. Your response is the reasoning that every non-asshole makes as they get converted into an asshole because of their interactions with assholes. The response to someone being an …

    Eh at the very beginning of the article, the writer states that this article is exclusively about smart assholes, assholes who are good at their job. Someone who is not doing their…

    Reading Refactoring by Martin Fowler helped me a lot. The examples are in Java but many of the concepts apply across all languages. However I would say the examples makes the most …

    It just needs to be tested on more complex decisions, possibly in a larger network. Most people don't feel the need to delegate choosing what kind of food they like to eat. Now if …

    If you started programming when you were 12 and you've been programming for fun more than 4 hours a day every day since then, you are going to be drastically better than someone wh…

    The questions get progressively more intimate. No reason to finish all 36 questions in one go. Certainly some of the earlier questions are appropriate for a first date.

    I really wish the main findings had been summarised in one paragraph at the top of the article, instead of towards the end. All things considered it could have been written a lot s…

    I wonder what the game depth would be for significantly more complex games like Starcraft 2 or League of Legends. Given the way those games track statistics we should be able to ge…

    The only way to be able to quantify "10%" is if you have the ability to predict the future perfectly. If you don't have any stockpiled bandwidth you will have big issues if anyone …
