Reddit is a worse echo chamber than Twitter ever was. I gave up on it when I got banned from certain subreddits for posting quotes from congressional testimony. If you post anythin…

I like this observation. You could argue that Salesforce did the same thing pivoting from CRM into the platform as a service market. They had the user management, security, configu…

My dad used baby powder as deodorant because he had sensitive skin. Died of lung cancer at age 58, and never smoked. Anecdotal, but this really pisses me off.

I've been listening to the "3 Body Problem" trilogy by Cixin Liu. I'd highly recommend it because not only is it some mind blowing sci-fi, but it also contains one of the most inte…

Me too. Have you find anything good so far?

> What an absurd statement. The manifesto argues that women are genetically inferior and that most women developers shouldn't have their job. That's not what he said at all. He sai…

Don't know why you're being downvoted for this, it's actually pretty smart. Like leaking an unsubstantiated rumor to a reporter but probably with more legal ramifications.

It's really sad to me that whiteboard is thought of as an interviewing tool. Opened this thread thinking "cool, maybe there are some brainstorming techniques I haven't heard of fro…

I am curious to know how you would prevent a child from running into the road given that said child isn't yet mentally developed enough to understand the risk. And they will do it …

Is this using CRISPR or some other method of editing the DNA?

I assume they will need to sign off on the model... I expect to see a lot of this in the future.

Google has Waze data. Which I would think serves as a GREAT set of labels for the data that the self driving cars collect.

This isn't unique to you, or to developers. What you're describing is part of the human experience. There's even a name for it, "Dark night of the soul". Everyone experiences it, i…

The shit talking about this is disappointing to me. Isn't this the route of crazy idea that moves us into the future? It's not supposed to be easy. You think people would put their…

My kids go to a Montessori school as well. My wife and I were sold on the approach within the first five minutes we were in the classroom during the tour. These were not wild kids …

I became really interested in this a while back after watching a fascinating BBC documentary about fasting. It stated that cancer could not grow in the absence of IGF-1 (a growth h…

The negotiations and drafts are in fact secret even from Congress at this point, and there's a movement underway to give "fast-track authority" to the president which would also re…

Uptake (uptake.com) - Chicago, IL What we do: Uptake's business is global, disruptive, differentiated and approaches the market in a new way. We help customers identify hidden valu…

This is incredibly cool. I love the way it blurs the line between the physical and the digital. I very much dislike the trend towards touchscreens on everything, I personally like …

Ansible seems to have more traction: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=ansible%2C%20saltsta...

This is a one-time hit. They're now enforcing licensing very strictly where they didn't before and offering "nicer" terms if they buy some Azure instead of paying those costs retro…
