Having been one of those #1 employees in the past, I didn't feel short changed. It was an arrangement that was beneficial for both myself and the employer. I don't know how many of…

At least in a startup environment, the bus factor risk isn't even on the same order of magnitude as much more tangible stuff like the client walking away. Doubling your labor costs…

You two are talking about completely different things. There's no 'on call' for the kind of projects that parent is talking about. There's a small handful of guys who get shit done…

In most of the world it is decided. The decision is click-wrap 'contracts' are unenforceable. Starting with the fact that they don't meet the definition of a contract.

My bad, it was meant to be 2080 but I can't edit the post anymore. Either way, japan's population is not only ageing but declining at an exponential rate due to low childbirth - wh…

If you want an average outcome, follow the average path. Having kids or getting married or staying in the same place all their life does not make people any happier. God knows I've…

This comment hits the nail on the head: > As a long-ago ex-Googler I find it amusing to watch employees name-drop where they work, always with some underlying subtext implying auth…

> "the interior is a disaster, there's no instrument cluster which takes your eyes off the road" This is the most WTF aspect of the model 3 to me and seems to confirm that there is…

I benchmarked this recently. It comes in at 4-10x slower than cpython for random typical use cases on my machine, which is not too shabby at all. The author also states that numpy …

So US/AU government backdooring AU citizens is okay, but if China has access it's bad? People actually think like this now? We just collectively rolled over and accepted mass surve…
