I'm no fan of judging people by the color of their skin, why not use family income? This way it's apparent who is getting high scores due to tutoring and who is naturally gifted.

Well... I've seen a particularly aggressive company use their IP to kill competitors. You can't make a specific file format without using this company. It seems any free or low cost competitor gets bought by them. It's made t

You'd like Efficiency Is Everything. But I was particularly talking about per calorie rather than "per dollar"

Vegetarian is lower cost and better for the environment. Protein per calorie doesn't seem comparable.

Whenever I hear the horrors of the tradewar in a positive light, I wonder if this is the Russian propagandists in action. How can war be good? Delighting in the suffering of everyone?

11 year, self taught programmer here. Chem engineer by degree. I had to program for eng 101, engineering 280 mechatronics, and our senior design. I'm not a programmer by degree, but I was often the only one in group projects that under

What a hard read. Recommend saying what you want, no silly fake dialog needed.

It doesn't explain what life is like due to losing that industry. We are told of Utopia in Europe, but aren't told these stories.

I did this for 3 years. Things you didn't mention- Breaks exist, and are encouraged. I have to take breaks in my office setting and bosses act like it's not okay. You get good at the Physical activity. The first month sucks, after

I can't fathom what life is like in such a small country. If 1 major company goes out of business, does it cause chaos? High unemployment and lower tax revenue sounds like any moment the country could find itself in an economic depress

I have strong doubts about your claims of innovation in the military and academia. Edit, vs Industry.

Part of me thinks this person's job is complete. He started an idea, developed, and has a team to continue it. He did his role. What is next for him? Hopefully he has enough money to live without working. Then he can put his efforts in

>Apple's Safari actually has better standing in terms of alignment of user and developer incentives. Apple gets credit for being aligned with users and developers? Out of any of the tech companies, I see Apple the most detached from

Erm, to clarify. Making labor saving inventions, communication, improvements to infrastructure, discovering new science. I did not mean weapons.

I imagine those innovations are due to tremendous spending, funded by taxes. I wonder what these engineers would be doing with their time otherwise. What those tax dollars could have accomplished. Sure we get a few pieces of technology, but

I see the tech bubble as well. It was aided in low education investors who are able to invest easier than ever. I see technology as useful, but there are many companies that have not found a path to profit. this doesn't work.

Not if we undergo an inflationary period. And all signs point to the Federal Reserve printing more money. I don't feel bad about my loans either. I think banks are going to get screwed with a low value USD.

I have a friend with a similar story. My wife diagnosed it over Snapchat. After that, the Physician she had been seeing agreed. (edit, Wife is a doctor of Physical Therapy) The longer I live, the less I think Physicians deserve their Monopo

Encarta confused me as a young kid. It wasn't a video game, but I played it like a video game. I didn't understand what an encyclopedia was.

I don't think your premise that you are saving time is correct. Apple advertises similar to Luxury car buyers to make you believe you are getting a high quality product. But it's going to be really hard to prove things are quicker

FOSS may have downsides, for instance it's free, but doesn't have iTunes built in. I consider both of these advantages, but some users don't. I consider the benefits of open source far exceeds the perceived benefits of Apple&

Users that promote priority network effects are bad for everyone else. This isn't Google's fault. It's low education users who get whatever phone their parents bought.

In the last 2000 years, much of human progress came in the form of freedom. In recent times it seems there is a pushback towards less.

Doing God's work. Every Apple purchase makes me feel like I'm creating a computer vilian. But I grew up during the FOSS craze.

This is why Apple is the last platform I develop for, and I use JavaScript. Out of the big tech companies, Apple seems to be the most likely to ruin my business model by cutting me off. Edit, is there something incorrect here? It's his
