There’s really not a need to ground the 737 Max. The easy solution is if you don’t want to fly in one don’t book a flight that uses that plane. Now sure, maybe by grounding the pla…

This is really the only viable way to support FOSS. Considering the amount of money some people make in tech, they should allocate a % of that to donating to open source projects e…

I could keep throwing money into my stock portfolio, did I make it better, or worse? The only metric that matters here is ROI. Did YC increases its ROI and produce a higher percent…

Don’t these cases come up all the time and nothing ever comes from it? Also, it’s hard to see sellers as getting ripped off when the buyers agent fee is factored into the price. If…

The amount of years you've been alive divided by the life expectancy of your country.

I don't think about those people, here's why: 1) No one is entitled to a career in cybersecurity or reverse engineering, no matter how poor or sad your origin story is. 2) There ar…

If you are using these tools you are either defending systems from threats or breaking into systems and making money through illegal activities. There is not really any other usefu…

IDA Pro is not expensive at all for serious professionals in the field. Other common software in the industry costs way more. Nessus is $2k a year, Metasploit like $1500 to $15000,…

God forbid anyone make a profit? I’m not sure what your point is, prices are set by what the market is willing to pay. Anything else is not sustainable. You are not entitled to buy…

Do you stand on anti-fatigue mats?

Not sure how I'd feel about someone writing a piece of code in response to the death of their young child. Equally terrifying.

I don't think this discussion will be as interesting as people think. When a game or piece of software you write is shit, you know it's shit, unless you are completely delusional. …

I highly recommend that everyone make a life progress bar, and look at it everyday.

Why build more housing if people will continue to happily pay these prices to live here? The goal isn't to cram as many people as possible in a single pcity.

Can I ask what your back problems are and how they started? Were they from doing the squats and deadlifts themselves or other injuries? I see plenty of people past their 40s still …

Alcohol should never be used for stress, only for social lubrication. There's better ways to deal with stress. Pump iron, or go for a run. 30-60 minutes of running should give you …

We're happily married now.

Not unfortunate. The only fitting end for people like this is to be taken down by the very mobs they created. There have always been clear warnings about why mob justice is bad, bu…

Like many I always thought I wouldn't buy a diamond, I saw no reason to buy what was basically just a rock (to me), but when I proposed to my girlfriend, since the ring didn't have…

Martial Arts. Any decent school you go to will probably have men and women of all ages, sizes, races and social backgrounds. Many schools will also do "community events" which prov…

What is the point of these opinion pieces? Why should we care about what someone at New York Times says over any other person? These kind of articles must be made simply to drive t…

It is the opposite. The more SQL you use the less you will want to use ORMs. Many ORMs are basically a black box and you're never really sure if they are doing exactly what you wan…

In the industry there is generally no mercy for a programmer who fails due to his own hubris.

Don't listen much to this guy. Full stack developers aren't doomed to fail, the only thing that happened here is that this guy failed miserably. He failed because he focused on the…

Does it matter? By the time there’s two major android updates there will be a newer and better version of these devices to upgrade to. Let’s not kid ourselves, phones aren’t “buy i…
