Hired 10,000 people in Q2 this year alone? What percentage of those people actually do anything of value besides cash the company’s checks? That’s actually staggering to me. Cloud …

This doesn’t sound right at all. The classic story is “he/she took me to the cleaners”, fighting over every possible asset, being forced to sell a house or property you don’t want …

In my mind it is the same problem everywhere. Supply is too low and is kept low for many reasons. There is insane demand from around the world to live in Manhattan.

I would love a Crazy Eddie’s Discount Domains website built using 90’s html where the domains are sold like timeshares. Do I even own this domain? Not clear, but at $0.90 cents a y…

I have read a lot of financial crime books and can’t recommend Billion Dollar Whale enough. What’s so astounding is the immediacy with which he went on one of the biggest spending …

To me, using women to sell a product reeks of a bygone era and a certain mentality we’re working to get away from. I think that alone is a perfectly acceptable reason to think a co…

True, we’re trying to produce bots that reliably do things (make people laugh) that humans can’t even do reliably. People who can feel out a room and use the right joke, or the rig…

I am a fan of this talk. Working on the sysadmin/devops/sre side of enterprises, I originally found the transition from manual installs to things like puppet and then to docker con…

Personally I think this is an artifact of a time when there were other ways for you to make money.

Republicans are in favor of the DEA and drug scheduling though.

Google maps is hard to replace for me, being out with friends and someone says “here’s my address” and we just map it, too easy.

There is no centralized way to drive that change on the needed scale. Most humans don’t even view what we’re doing in civilization as shared project, let alone agree that this is r…

I don’t see this at all. They didn’t make less than you because of some moral failing by society at large. They made less because there is such a glut of artists that the bottom pa…

I’ve become convinced that hiring more people is generally a warning sign. A team of between a few and about twenty people seems to produce all the good stuff. Anything beyond that…

I have to chuckle a little at your “is it just me”…this is literally one of pop culture/the internet’s biggest flame wars these days. No offense intended. It commonly spirals off i…

I don’t know if the term discrimination fits there. Employers would gladly employ children if not for the law.

Really no video game lets you do a free trial. To me the start of all this was Google. Google completely changed the way we interact with services and technology. It’s amazing and …

Paywall.

I’m not sure fashion feels like the right term. People just assume newer equals better. So they want to use the latest and “greatest”.

Author is more asking the question, probably also thinks “it needs state” could be valid.

Honestly it feels a little like blog posts I read titled “X software is full of bugs” and then the first line is “so I installed X on my custom Arch Linux setup…”. Sure, not ideal,…

This point about donations comes up on literally every single one of these posts. Them throwing their wealth into the treasury maw would be a meaningless blip. They are arguing for…

I sit upon a silk cushion, my servants fanning me as I pluck a grape from the bowl. “The plebs don’t understand how hard I work too”, I complain to no one in particular. “Don’t the…
