Hijacking for another Dune-themed game: anyone successfully played Emperor: Battle for Dune on Windows > 10? Easily one of my favorite RTS's all time, but not as nostalgic as Dune 1/2/2k or other RTS's and definitely

>$3M or $500K Alternatively, renting or staying in a hotel/resort is _significantly_ cheaper than $500k, even amortized over 10 years. TBD how much you can sell your timeshare back for at the end, but I'd argue the risk + the s

- Richard Feynman, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (S.B. 1939), Princeton University (Ph.D. 1942) Agreed that credentials aren't required for a pass to the genius club, but I didn't read that in the post above either.

I'm curious if you actually think there's a real equivalency between choosing to eccentrically live in a van despite having more socially acceptable alternative options enabled by a salary far above the median vs making desperate

Second the option to reset, but there is an "private session" mode in the nav menu that seems to not track your listens the same way. Netflix and the video streaming services are the worst here. I hate my Netflix recommendations,

I loved Scoot when I was in SF. Except after it rained. Some Bezos-bald tires on those things.

You're all over the comments on this article dumping on Tesla's quality, but evidence seems to be anecdotal (in the form of comments on a forum for this article). Also last time I checked, the big automakers investigated and then

To me, at least, there's a difference between information I willingly, if unwittingly share on a social network vs having the government unwittingly and unwillingly collect information indiscriminately. Furthermore, Facebook, Google,

Yah. We should make regulation for this kind of behavior.

Not to be overly melodramatic and totally dodging the contents of the article, but aren't we already in a social dystopia? Is there any way of qualifying "how dystopic" a society is?

I wonder how hard it would be to convince folks to drop their expensive setups in favor of nearly $0 static sites, as well as how much up front cost they'd be willing to shovel out for the transition. S3 + CDN (+ Lambdas optionally) f

Glad someone beat me to it. Teaching kids to code is similar to teaching just about anything else: get them to have fun and find how it applies to them, followed by how to figure out what they don't know, then how to keep going when th

Fun fact: that 600k studio apartment might seem outrageous now, but in 30 years at 6.6% it'll be $4,345,645, and your grandkids will get a nice $16,267,583 500sqft place to hang their hats in 50. Get in while it's good folks.

This comment is pretty funny juxtaposed with the one above regarding heavy copy in advertising.

I think that's pretty clever. Spent 15 min talking about it with coworkers today though, and IMO the challenge with something like this is identifying and specifically addressing the problems it would be trying to solve rather than bo

I've been thinking about 2 as a potential path forward for journalists/journalism. Is there a reason to continue the monolithic paper over directly funding individual journalists? I think there's a cool idea in a platform de

Does anyone know if H1B's are exempt from California's Labor Codes? Looks like there's quite a few that fall short of 2017's required $88k[1]. 1 https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/tools-and-samp

Why not both? Feels like only doing one is like only putting airbags in cars when seat belts are also effective. I don't get why there has to be only one approach to solve societal problems.

Not OP, but here's some unsolicited thoughts. While it's true that criminals, by definition, will break the law, all laws are not treated equally by individuals. Millions of people litter or speed despite the law, but I imagine n

To be honest, TodoMVC is the idea-that-needs-to-die™ for SPAs. IMO, if all the framework needs to be able to do is described by TodoMVC, you probably don't need a framework at all. It probably takes way less time to write a todolist

I'm wondering if there's any correlation between idea "quality" and how far down the first supportive comment is or the ratio of positive to negative comments in general.

It appears some of their assertions are correct, if the response disproportional. The inability to see gray area is typically a large part of the problem in a lot of political discussions, and the blogosphere is always the worst when it co

FWIW, the time spent in JS is only telling half the story. In that first example, React spends half as much time painting and rendering as Vue; the DOM diffing is more js-time intensive but results in less DOM thrashing. Interesting to wa

Definitely reading too much into your comment and not responding just to you but the hiring post trend, but IMO all of those scenarios are conflating mismanagement with bad hiring. Have a rock star coder who can't communicate (I'

Those billions are relative to the amount of money they made though. A crappy analogy is a bank robber who steals a million dollars from 10 banks, gets caught at the last, and has to pay back 2 million dollars.
