That is the real rub. It is like the word 'hacker'. No amount of 'but it really means' will change that. It is like the Mandela effect. People see and hear and remember what they w…

Why? They were being quite racist towards each other. Should I get involved somehow? Other than 'be angry' what are my choices? I literally can not change what those two do to each…

> ask a Trump voter of your choice about whether they think Chinese or Latino looking people are inferior to whites They are not. There you have your answer. I would posit you have…

I use the 'promote better' ideas when dealing with people in poverty. Usually most of what happens is what I call 'bad choice' economics. Usually do one thing or another. One is no…

Not only that they would have either been using it consistently since they learned it or just learned it. I at one point could do differential equations (linear alg + calc). If you…

I live thousands of miles away from New York city. A few months ago I was reading about someone getting into an argument in central park. Why am I being show that? It was to provok…

News is not news. It is entertainment. Pick your flavor and let them tell you how to feel. It is designed to be addictive. Either by accident or deliberate is up for debate. I have…

Absolutely you get out what you put in. My company has thousands of programmers. I was in charge of helping a group of programmers self learn a new framework/language. It started o…

Using a timer on a screen to SEE latency. Why did I not think of that?!

Open source is going to be used to co-opt people into service contracts. For example one product I use right now. If you use it in a very particular way you do not have to pay much…

There were other smartphones at that time that were just as good if not better. Mr Jobs did something no one else did. He attached a good data plan to it. At that time think along …

I have had pretty good luck with just dropping a comment where something would be expanded. I find for myself sometimes it is easy to add bunches of code for cases that never happe…

Many of the places where I worked if they PIP'd you start looking. They already made up their minds. If they get a 'get rid of X% of people' you will be in that list.

There is a secondary issue on this sort of thinking too. Sometimes you can doom out anything worth doing. I see it on the internet quite a bit. "look at the cool project I built". …

I personally kept my facebook account. I check it maybe once a month. When I do look I find I have a very low tolerance for the crap on there (maybe 10 mins). They have a nice 'tim…

Sort of. They are related though. Anchoring is more about setting the value of something. It is used in negotiations something like "I want 100 dollars for this thing" "that silly …

To be fair they probably have already done it if there is a shortage because of this reason. There is a crazy amount of coins out there.

Its cheap tin foil it got in their hair

fair enough

So they tested the parents too?

The only thing you can say for sure is that 1/3 of the population that have children also probably have it. If that is true I do not think you can 'contain' it. You can speculate o…

That is most certainly one component of it. Another is boiling water with burnt coal is still one of the cheapest ways to make electricity. Most of the US decline I would personall…

There are much better ways to install things in windows. Such as MSI files if you need to change paths and registry entries. Chocolatey if you want a 'aptget' like usage, there are…

You are seeing one of the parties opaque view. The DNC seems to have a better handle on their operatives than the GOP. That resignation letter from a few days ago for that particul…

It is. However, many times people just have not been shown 'the trick' before. For example the thing that basically started this coding interview style, FizBuzz. Unless you know th…
