They shouldn't have advertised 'free forever' on the website. OMG. In that area, people don't even think about the next day. One of the things I learned is that you should never of…

I thought I'd found my place when I got into open source distributed pub/sub over WebSockets. I worked in this area for over 10 years but you won't find my project in the first 100…

I would argue that there is very little correlation between a programmer's perceived skill level and their actual skill level. I know some programmers who used to be considered roc…

I wonder what would happen if Let's Encrypt started charging for their service AFTER HTTPS became compulsory. Seems like a great (but evil) business strategy. All these CAs could j…

I think that the argument that you can't trust ISPs is weak.. With HTTPS, you still need to trust certificate authorities. It is somewhat suspicious that Google suddenly decided to…

I was reading about non-disparage clauses and I find it disturbing that these clauses are allowed to override a law as fundamental as free speech. It's disturbing that the US needs…

I think that there are lots of people who could do a better job than Elon Musk but they will never have the opportunity to prove it. The vast majority of people would know that cal…

One positive thing about being born in a third-world country is that if you can manage to train yourself to become a good software developer (which I admit is probably much harder …

Maybe these types of people would not have power if everyone knew who they really where. That said I understand people who are afraid that loss of privacy would be asymmetric but I…

I disagree with that statement because they have fundamentally different purposes. Free speech affects my ability to improve society. Right to privacy affects my ability to cover m…

I think it's fine. If you did nothing wrong then you have nothing to lose by unlocking your phone. So if you don't unlock your phone, it's an admission of guilt. People are way too…

I do think that our current social system rewards the wrong things and drives human evolution in the wrong direction. Traits like lying, cheating and hypocrisy are rewarded evoluti…

I find modern minimalist architecture depressing; the ceilings are low, tables made of glass, everything tends to be white (made worse by modern LED lights), there are no decorativ…

This is sexist. They should also allow Introverted Males WithOut Rich Parents to form a company for free. It is very difficult for an IMWORPs to start a company and raise funding t…

Makes more sense how you explain it, thanks.

Why is it that when the price drops, consumers would want to buy more and producers would necessarily want to produce less? If I was a company director and the price of the commodi…

I had the same thought. Also, I'm not even sure that this diagram makes sense overall because supply, demand and price are so tightly interconnected (with feedback loops in both di…

>> ... as demand for a product goes up, supply increases, and price goes down I think it is fine but confusing because it skips over some steps. A longer version might be: ... as d…

I would only write unit tests for very complex classes whose logic cannot be simplified into something readable. Personally, I rarely introduce bugs at the unit level, almost 100% …

You know exactly what I mean but you can keep pretending not to. It's about signaling. People who are accepted into Y Combinator know how to keep their eye on the ball; if they mov…

I've been back and forth between startups and corporations. I think I know what you mean in technical terms; that corporations use more advanced (rigorous) processes and tools and …

Whenever a solution offers you simplicity, you're giving up flexibility. That's why I'd prefer to use a more advanced but standardized open source platform like Kubernetes.
