Not only are you making a lot of assumptions here, you have a woeful ignorance of Chicago neighborhoods but throw out names of neighborhoods like you're an expert (perhaps obtained…

I agree. That part was way off base.

Perhaps you aren't familiar with the term. Graduate Student = someone enrolled in a Masters Program, Post doc, PHD program, etc. This is quite different from a using a recent Bootc…

"TAs are TAs, all colleges have them; they do not replace full instructors, but some of them are worth their weight in gold due to their student empathy." Lol. TAs in colleges are …

You can argue about the value of traditional education. But I think you would be hard pressed to find a university, even a crappy one, where it's up to the students to TA themselve…

That might be true if the company was honest. But this was clearly fraud. So go ahead and blame the victim.

People who try to draw historical analogies to AI replacing humans say things like: "cars replaced horse drawn carriages. But we managed to adapt to that, the carriage drivers got …

lol you nailed it

I don't see it as a jab at the Czech Republic. But I think it is highly unusual for a CEO to be based out of a country that doesn't have any kind of Company HQ or significant base …

You know who else was a "a highly regulated public company with regular disclosures"? Enron

Why the vomit emoji after mentioning ERB templates? It's just HTML with ruby sprinkled throughout. If that's the best solution for the job, why use React or whatever flavor of the …

This is pretty rich. I'd argue the worst kind of censorship is getting murdered/disappeared by a totalitarian government for speaking out against them. Kind of like what happens to…

lol

The field of web dev is so vast and nebulous, the idea that you can't learn anything new or that you've reached a permanent plateau in your career doesn't add up. Also, Salesforce …

The amount of entitlement in the tech industry is astounding. This person is complaining about how Microsoft didn't enjoy this prank, which involved hours of planning (during worki…

Anyone else get a sense that something similar is happening with Elon Musk? Guy seems to be unraveling

I don't know if you read the article. But there were people trying to intervene, namely his family, and people calling the police to check in on him. However, the people who were o…

I wonder how the rise of deepfakes will impact this topic. As deepfakes become more believable and prevalent, celebrities will be able to just label any kind of sex-tape type leak …

Well the value of any asset depends on the value that people assign to it -- it's all subjective if you really get in it. However, I wouldn't accept bitcoin as a method of payment …

Yeah but no one uses these things as a form of payment/currency. Those are non-monetary assets.

Ironically, as the market cap and price per coin increase, I grow more and more skeptical of bitcoin!

Bitcoin made a lot of sense when I first read about it in 2011. Back then I feel like it was primarily used as an anonymous payment method. Think dark web/silk road type stuff. I c…

> Democrats are nearly as bad. I mean, after supporting the reversal of a fair and free election, leading to a violent insurrection, anyone who still engages in this 'both sider-is…

Yeah, I mean some people smoke all of their lives and live to be 90 and die of natural causes. Doesn't mean that smoking isn't incredibly dangerous and bad for you. edit: this is a…
