I think that small teams with high throughput communication can work in place and remote. In place the high communication is there by default where the default remote position woul…

It’s a long time since I used scala and none of this was ever a direct problem, but it was all extra complexity. I think there’s a split between people that appreciate sugar and pe…

Oh, come on. What is this? > people like you I linked an article on Wikipedia in response to someone’s question. It’s hardly Chinese propaganda. Really?

Is that like Russia's version of the BBC?

You've been posting similar comments all over this thread and it's a bit tiring. You don't have to like or support what China are doing to acknowledge that the terrorism was real. …

They're talking about East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM), it's the Uyghur jihadist organization that's conducted a number of terrorist attacks using bombs and knives. I don't h…

There are people that used both including me. But I fell squarely on the Clojure side and haven't written Scala for 7-8 years now.

It's been happening since Obama's Pivot to Asia, it's just a lot more noticeable now since Trump has no subtlety.

These obvious studies aren't just for the yes/no answer. It also provides other data. Like, if I actively wanted to evade facial recognition then I now know that a black mask is be…

Yes, do that then. 2000 = x, 4000 = 2x, 6000 = 3x, 8000 = 4x

I wouldn't count on it. The aversion to WFH always seemed to be the risk, but now they've already been forced into it and mostly handled it quite well, the unknown isn't unknown an…

Perhaps understanding how things work is leading to the unhappiness. There are lots of big problems in the world, too big to be fixed by a single person. Dwelling on these can be d…

It is free to the person that receives it. Imagine I bake and give you a cake, it's still a "free cake" even though I've put the work into baking it and other people have put the w…

He doesn't appear to be. He's calling for Americans to exercise their freedom in sacrificing themselves to the virus for the profit of the capitalists.

> but they also recognize that if we radically do less under our current paradigm, the people who are barely scraping by now will be crushed. It sounds like we should change that c…

Cloud seeding exists already. It works by distributing particles (I forget what of) in the air that water can coalesce around into clouds and then raindrops. There are ethical and …

It is ignorance though, both willing and unwilling. It's ignorance at the bottom, ignorance at the top, and ignorance at every level in between. Even our "solutions" are ignorant. …

Liking something because it will negatively affect other people is a weird position to take

You find one that aligns with your own personal goals and ethics. I found one, and working with other people there feels like a multiplier on the change I want to see in the world.…

Sometimes tips are given by the same people that place the bomb, with a desire to reduce casualties. I don't know anything about the situation in Russia, but that definitely happen…

I found his book Recovery to tell a very powerful story of his trouble with addiction, and how he has worked through it. He goes quite deeply into self introspection and analysis o…

I eat them more as an affordance to other people. They're rarely my first choice, but if I'm eating with someone else and they've cooked or we're in a non-vegan restaurant then tha…

People are out demanding changes. I'm terrified of climate change. I'm also terrified of nuclear power. I'm not really against nuclear power in theory, but I'm afraid about how we'…

I think it's because we're sold on the idea of progress (technological and other types) as leading to improvements in our lives. But generally they aren't realised. Automation, for…

I agree that governments should be addressing these issues, my initial post was mostly about how they are not doing that, and at the same time actively telling us that everything i…
