that thread is horrible. Somehow no one there sees that people die after retirement, maybe it makes sense not to retire at all? as for me, I don't know where I am going to be one y…

Some time ago when money were cheap it made sense to grow, now when money are expensive it makes sense to shrink. I don't get why people get offended by it. we are not living in a …

thank you, that makes sense to try, the economy is dead though, I probably won't be able to find anything in a year with all the layoffs happening.

I still have to try, what I have to lose? I am still going to run out of time sooner or later, I should make it worth it. Otherwise what is the point.

I am doing backend web work and I am insanely bored. I am trying to focus on my tasks but I just can't. I am trying hard, but I just can't. The problem is that I see this as a fund…

> The point is that ants don't comprehend any other animals, neither those more nor those less complex than them, nor even those as complex as them (beetles). In contrast, we have …

> hundreds of light years that is next to nothing, observable universe is 93 billion light-years around 0.1 stars per cubic light-year (Google response) universe is humongous and v…

come on, light years are several orders of magnitude less than something that we could detect, cosmos is a wast wast space

> Why can't ants comprehend beetles if they are "similar or same" could you elaborate please? i can’t say that i understand your statement

> Why can't ants comprehend beetles if they are "similar or same" this one is tricky how do we define similarity? ants to ants is easy because we can assume they are the same or th…

second this, it looks insane I can barely endure 3 minutes shower and my average is 40-50 seconds especially when it is -13 C outside

Do ants comprehend humans? No they don't. Ants can comprehend only other ants. By this logic we can interact only with civs that are similar or same as us. How much detectable tech…

100% second this, thank you it is hard to say almost 99% product is not engineering but what it enables company to do. In a sense this division is psychological: either company car…

thank you, so it more dependent not on a type of company but on how the company runs itself. It can have its main product not in software, but it can bet on R&D in order to outrun …

I agree that AWS is a software org, I am interested in E-Commerce in this particular case. Thank you for response

thank you, I've got something to think about.

thank you, maybe it is easier to understand when you ask whether business will halt and die if the system you are responsible for is down or suddenly absent or it is going to be a …

What category is Amazon? (the marketplace). It looks like a third category (company sells something else, but it has a software component supporting it). I am asking because I am w…

would love to read that, I find immune system fascinating.

idk, most of life is about a subtle dance between chaos and order, from DNA mutations to the flashes of activity inside brain to complex behaviour of ecosystems and human interacti…

I am dying to know how it was possible. Do you have a reference to nutritionist or perhaps a meal plan? Where can I learn more about such things?

I am sorry if that sounds condescending, in reality I question my engineering ability almost every day. There is a lot of things that I know horribly less than any engineer worth t…

that looks like I am a good candidate for Amazon, lol. but on a serious note, the good solution is sort of obvious and in general you encounter much more interesting problems on a …

we've had nightly air raid alerts for the last two years. Now there are less of them, but I don't know what the future will bring. I think russia is preparing their winter campaign…
