What I'm trying to say is that the supply is constrained, not the demand. And the supply of factories themselves are constrained as well. So they need to build more factories, which they are doing at an impressive pace. And for buildin

I mean sort of, maybe. It's a danish company, that's already the largest contributor to research, also from a grant perspective. The Novo Nordisk Foundation is supplying research grants at like 5 times of the size of the danish go

They were begging others to sign _for them_. It's not contradictory :)

I love hackathons. But what is described in the article indeed sounds horrible. At my job, we have a hackathon once a year. You are free to decide if you want to join. It is during work-hours and you can work on anything you want, provided

Man, to stumble upon this, at this time in my life, of all times. I literally just sent an email to HR, talking about how my new boss is horrible - I've only had him for 2 months and now I'm home on sick leave from stress. I'

I mean, it's not that I didn't expect changes or didn't expect the language to be smaller - it's just that there definitely things that I would want to bring with me over to C. One thing I really like is RAII - that I ca

Oh man, no defer? Bummer. I'm switching from C++ to C recently and there sure are a bunch of things I'm missing!

Depends on how much you want to do it. If you wanna do full time consulting, sure that's the case. But a part-time consulting gig on the side, when you've been working for 10+ years and have a solid network? In that case, you can

I do that same thing. Earning around $100 an hour, and I can do as many hours as I want, whenever I want to. I do this on top of my full time job, so I usually do a few hours at night or a weekend day here and there. That's similarly i

There's a huge amount of data to base this on, in the very context that it's presented in.

I agree to a large extent. For myself, I'm the most productive when I - Am able to influence what I work on, and choose how I solve a task - Have tasks lined up in a front of me that I can choose to work on - Am in a state of flow, whe

Everything is pretty light weight as long as things are running smoothly. It's not completely unlike an IT department: You only really figure out their value, when things go poorly.

The argument would probably be that without patents, what reason does companies have to disclose methods of operation? Everything would become a trade-secret. With patents the deal is as follows: Tell us how you made it and we will make sur

I find this angle quite interesting. Once a system clears that bar of "it works pretty well and does what I need" stuff like documentation and a well ordered experience is what's matters. Not what's under the hood in ter

My understanding is that the "encourages" part relates to agencies that are independent and are therefore not directly under the control of the president. He therefore cannot directly order them to do anything. However, from what
