    AI lets you pick the parts you want to focus on and streamline the parts you don't. I get zero joy out of wrestling build tools or figuring out deploy scripts to get what I've buil…

    Huge plus one. Useful to bridge hotel wifi so all my devices connect automatically, also useful as an ad-hoc router that fits into my travel pack.

    NFL players have unique skills, are highly valued, and are represented by a union. Same with most other major sports.

    It’s not about distance, it’s about burst. It sucks to go on a ride where you fall behind or have to all-out every time there’s a hill or you need to accelerate after a stoplight. …

    That's their entire strategy. Shrink government causing government to become ineffective, which provides evidence that government should shrink even more.

    Home prices have dramatically exceeded inflation for a long time, so you're getting advice from people who reaped huge appreciation gains. Now housing prices are hitting affordabil…

    Freezing a card doesn’t mean the debt is erased. They can still take you to collections.

    This is sidestepping that the market for CS degrees has gone from new grads making more than median income to some of the highest unemployment among college grads. I hope this is t…

    Disagree with logic that most will sell. Many people will incur high tax bills (if the property appreciated) or transaction costs to move. People who bought in the 2010s have mortg…

    You’re commenting on an article about reading, which is also a solitary passive consumption activity. I suspect you’re not trying to make the point that reading books destroys rela…

    Author of this article learned a lot about password hashing, missed the detail that this was in logs, not the database. Usually you try to avoid logging passwords, you don’t hash t…

    You leave your credit card on the table at a coffee shop. A thief takes it and goes to the grocery store. You’re going to do a chargeback.

    The story sounds appealing (members of congress know more than you do, so invest like they do) but this is just bait for retail investors. Expense ratio of 0.75% is crazy for a fun…

    The math is silly, these numbers are made up. Says the average American drinks 28K cups and spends $120K in their lifetime. That’s 1.5 cups daily at $4/cup for 50 years.

    This take makes sense in the context of the specific example, but falls apart for most other software engineering. You can't automate away defining business logic, but in many case…
