I have one broader point. Unfortunately, some people have started calling everyone they disagree with a fascist. Elon Musk is a fascist. Peter Thiel is a fascist. Marc Andreessen i…

My biggest problem with “tax the rich” is: then what? Build another “high-speed train”? Spend the money on some fake nonprofit run by the same rich people?

It might actually be a better idea to require a short, in-person civic knowledge test every two years as a condition for voting. If you fail, you can take it again, but you cannot …

I guess he just failed the test. Maybe the bar should be 55.

I would strongly discourage anyone from making things up. I have participated in these exercises, and many people simply said, “I really have nothing to share that would interest y…

I am not sure how old he was, but I would guess he was under 40 and relatively inexperienced. Part of the purpose of these exercises is to train management, especially executives, …

It is a long blog post, but the controversy seems to center on DHH’s language and reasoning about Roma people. My reading is that he used those examples deliberately to raise a bro…

I do the same. Only very (awesome) good and very bad experiences are widely shared. The problem is that creating a truly great (awesome) memorable support experience happens less t…

I disagree. But that is that what I learned. Sadly, it is hard to convince people of this unfortunate and depressing fact: customer support is nice, but in the grand scheme of thin…

The key point of the article is this: > In other words, the best approach for us is what most companies do. Every inexperienced entrepreneur starts with a promise that their suppor…

Over 90% of new vehicles sold in the U.S. already support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. So it is kinda expected to be there: if it is not there then a car needs to be something s…

I think that can work if you narrow the issue only to medical advice. But trust is also eroded by completely unrelated things, like “Iraq has WMDs” and other stories pushed by our …

If these mRNA vaccines had not been pushed or mandated, more people would probably think they are safe: there will be no need for any of these reviews. But because they were pushed…

Meaning, it creates one more hurdle for businesses. I think that is an objective statement. Is it bad? That depends on your point of view. If you are pro-business, then yes, the bi…

Michigan has relatively business-unfriendly laws and regulations. Apparently their tax system is quite favorable to businesses, but taxes are only one (small) part of the equation.…

So she is trying to make money by selling a book about how Facebook is bad, meaning how the company only cares about profit and nothing else. I can already tell it has to be one of…

I somehow deleted my original comment. I actually made mistake. There are 16 fields: * 12 matter fields (6 quarks + 6 leptons) * 1 gluon field (an 8-component SU(3) field) * 1 weak…

That is not going to help if: - someone steals your card and PIN - the merchant turns out to be dishonest (or some misunderstanding) and you want you money back - you fall for frau…

I do not want to speculate too much. Sure, many things could have happened, even things unrelated to this project, that led to the firing. But since this project is still on GitHub…

> Without those, why bother? Peace of mind (that your checking account is not drained)?

In any reasonable company (with common sense leadership), someone would not be fired for doing something (with good intentions) that does not harm company very much. Releasing some…

That part is odd, especially the fact that his boss tweeted about it. So there is probably much more to the story. My guess is that this is more of an internal fight, possibly with…
