I don't do it in my head. I do diagrams, then discuss them with other people until everyone is on the same page. It's amazing how convoluted get data from db, do something to it, s…

1. Go here: https://www.thetruesize.com/ 2. Type in "Taiwan" 3. Type in "Ukraine" 4. Overlap them. 5. Go here: https://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-listing.php 6. Find China &…

Wish the Anunnaki just left notes on how they did it. Joking aside, suddenly gold is all over the news, e.g.: "Composite material adorned with gold nanoparticles improves infectiou…

There are a 1000 real estate schemes/strategies being marketed to people: 1. Flip - buy undervalued property, fix it, sell it. Variation: buy in bad neighborhood, fix, rent, neighb…

Real Estate is in a bubble and as much of a scam as everything else. Your age, with two older acquaintances who made millions from RE. The environment is NOT the same as when they …

The ycombinator title is made misleading by swapping "gambling" for "blowing" money - these are not the same words at all. One implies they are just living in the moment, the other…

If true, and I have no reason to doubt you based on the accuracy of your previous messages, you have made your point. I definitely don't know the F-35 chip specs.

Well, my previous trolling aside, you can build an internal combustion (or electric!) go-kart type deal on a mid software developer budget. There are plenty of university students …

Yea! And for the same amount of effort and difficulty I can recommend a couple as well! - build your own kit car. Maybe start with something easy like a Ford GT with a V8 from a do…

1. "well, they control the advanced nodes!!"" - it is: "Taiwan is home to 92% of the production of logic semiconductors whose components are smaller than 10 nanometers". ( https://…

See what BirAdam said - he is correct. Armenia / Azer is a direct cause of Russia being drawn into Ukraine, insofar that Russia "guaranteed" peace and had a contingent of "peacekee…

Russia supported by Iran vs Ukraine supported by every major Western Power. China vs Taiwan standoff. China recently built a Taipei city center mock up in the desert. Taiwan contro…

Decent trench system.

Top 10% is basically a frugal tech-bro in a flyover. FAANG is top 5%. Assuming "over the course of at least 5-10 years" for both to get there. I doubt these are the people being di…

Whoah, your friend is a badass! I also didn't know Ireland still allowed duels. Do you know if it's just short swords or what? Cool benefit for his dual citizenship. (sorry, sorry,…

I will acknowledge that people have tastes I don't understand - Children of Time was another collection of filler tripe that contributed nothing to the genre. Definitely put it dow…

1. There is nothing imaginative about it. A child throwing out random ideas and copying cool scenes from TV shows at random is not "imaginative". It's made worse when every edgy so…

Is this book in the same vein as "N. K. Jemisin is a real author"? Good to be forewarned.

It's probably the only poem I tried to memorize other than "Good Timber" by Malloch. I am ashamed to say I forgot both, other than 4 lines about "the woods are lovely dark and deep…

Speak for yourself, I built the architecture that enabled a business to go from 50 mil to 3 billion revenue in the last 4 years and I have zero equity and a midwest salary. Really …

We were in a complete bubble the last couple of years. If you didn't work before the bubble, your perception of reality is entirely skewed. The mania was due to two things - tech c…

I think he is proposing that tech company CEOs have some hands-on engineering experience at least for a short while. I agree with that - "MBA only" bosses really have no idea what …

SWEs are not a tier where people care about your class much if you have the skills, speak professionally, and appear professional. Just don't talk about yourself. "How are you?" "G…

I see the negs, but I don't see any coherent arguments, much like "irl", past "We just need it, ok". Nevermind the fact that even the OS-agnostic garbage argument falls apart the m…

Terraform feels like a useless wrapper on top of AZ CLI and resource definition yaml files. In general, Terraform provides nothing but a useless wrapper that people need to underst…
