I wanted to like this article - I couldn't. The author lost my respect right off the bat when they hand-waved recent trends in Ontario education as "Marxism" or derivatives thereof…

This is a good and thorough article. The author got down to brass tacks pretty quickly and brings up interesting hypothesis about $MSFT. That said, I do have one gripe: > To oversi…

There's a very cool 3Blue1Brown video [0] that helps give you an intuitive feel for Bayes Theorem. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZGCoVF3YvM

I don't think the author's American-ness disqualifies them from writing about China. On the contrary, it is their very experience as a Chinese American that helps me (an outsider) …

> Easy resets for when you fall off. I like this feature. When the pandemic first hit, I realized how important routines and (associated) metrics would be in keeping me afloat in a…

I see comments talking about Stripe's "PR", not just in this thread, but also the one from a couple days ago [1]. I agree that Stripe's hiring practices, based on the information a…

Seeing the comments here debating the semantics of taxes, now seems like a good time to mention Poe's Law. [0] I personally took home the message that the "game" was satire and mea…

[Meta] Looks like the article is from 2018, perhaps it would help to reflect that in the title? Another really cool Pudding project was the "How bad is your Spotify?" [0] [0] https…

Disclaimer: I am not an Apple insider by any means, and this is all a hypothesis. Their management of the bug bounty program seems like a reflection of their secretive (and perhaps…

I am somewhat interested in reading about plane crashes and such. Are there any books/resources you can recommend to me?

More recently, the New Yorker published "The Plague Year" [1] in Jan 2021. IIRC, this was the first time since the Hiroshima issue that they dedicated almost the entire magazine to…

I really respect that attitude. I happen to be doing a security assessment on some products (PuTTY etc) at the firm (Fortune Global 100) where I am interning. It baffled me to read…

From what I understand, the labour/complexity in K8S lies not with the deployment, but with managing said deployment over the long term. This is a real problem for system architect…

Quite an interesting article! I am curious as to how this "limited collection" of IR firms adds to or drains from the overall security ecosystem. On one hand, having a limited numb…

Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a fantastic place not just for cycling, but also running and roller-blading. I have been there for a couple of runs - the lanes are clearly demarcated,…

The story, in fact, was mostly bullshit. It was being "narrated" by Belfort (DiCaprio) all along, and the mere presence of some very obviously outlandish/fickle claims serve to est…

I am operating under the assumption here that said articles can pertain to any topic, and not just diamonds. If that is not the case, I do apologize. I am a huge fan of William Lan…
