Now that brain drain isn't required to get a great job, we will finally see a diversity of distribution in talent instead of east/west coast. This will be a good thing. It's comple…

Exposure to smallpox wiped out populations in two continents from no prior exposure. The quoted “not necessarily” isn’t a ringing endorsement. Chickenpox is another example of earl…

his theory predicts the existence of particles that the LHC should have detected but has not. So has another pop science disaster, string theory.

There needs to be a great deal of introspection in the coming months. About what cultural practices are allowed to continue, and which are not. We need to have solutions for people…

Giving up some of the night sky for the billions of humans that live in rural areas, or live in countries where the physical internet is controlled by oppressive governments hellbe…

IMO at least some of the problem is the historical laxness with which California has approached drugs. You have decades and decades of drug use being de facto legal to the point wh…

Alternatively, don't use third party packages you don't fully understand.

Until they can provide some data that say the 50 million number is a fact, I don't believe it's that low. Every breach starts out on the low end, and miraculously ends up being dou…

Billions of pounds, are they really THAT overweight? (ba dum tsss)

I worked for HP during the HP/E split. Number one tip: don't work at HP (if you want to actually get the raise).

the CIA funded Washington Post sullying the good name of those noble domestic spying NSA'ers? Faker News

IMO all war ever produces is more war. Nobody that's fighting the war on poverty, because if they win, they won't have a job. Terrorism, hunger, poverty, whatever, you name it, whe…

Your paragraph about they "literally don't know how people use their system" seems obvious to me that you must be a 10x mega developer with insider knowledge. Idealist programmers,…

I honestly don't know a ton about it, but I see it mentioned in the same cool kid crowd of "rubyists" a lot.

Is there such a thing as vapor languages? I feel like crystal and elixir are vapor languages.

Before the internet, centralized places of knowledge were needed, and you'd need to attend that place to find said knowledge. Think about how access to music caused the price of al…
