> Heck, let me be blunt: if you cannot have a strong mutual disagreement (or even rivalry) with someone, but cooperate with him on the unrelated topic if it is mutually beneficial, it means you are a child and your opinion shouldn't

STEM includes hard science and mathematics - is there that much more demand for math or biology majors than for any of the social sciences? A math undergrad seems just as likely to end up in a call centre or as an office manager

IME the issue is that startup data modelling ends up in some ad-hoc framework that enforces a specific paradigm. When you try to adopt a standardized tool they don't ask "does this produce the right answer" but "can this

Have you read about all the improprieties at the NRA under LaPierre? He hired his wife and daughter and then expensed private jets for vacations because they were "doing work". He hired a contractor to pay his credit card bill to

Personally when people move into the "dev tools" role they often seem to lose sight of the forest for the trees. They'll argue for an idealized workflow - everything has to have 80% test coverage, everything has to have traci

Drowning companies with mandatory binding arbitration claims is a relatively new tactic - when the ToS was written arbitration was favored because it had better outcomes for the companies writing the ToS. It's unlikely Patreon's l

How does this compare to the zoning process in America? It sounds like OP is trying to build a factory from scratch on land that isn't zoned for factories? It's actually surprising one person can just run back and forth and get al

The most powerful collective negotiator should be the government which represents the entire population. But the Republican stance since Reagan has been that the government should be small enough to drown in a bathtub.

My reading of OP is that it's bad to have a goal of "more Black founders", etc. because it's "unnatural" and "goes against meritocracy". We should simply continue the status quo because OP believes th

When you live in a country that was founded on racism, Jim Crow and redlining, where the president is saying we need to "take back the suburbs" (for white people only), how do you react to that? "Not my problem?" When yo

I don't understand what this is even about? They didn't bother to get the original author's name right ("Nathan Robinson"), and they seem to be arguing with some strawman that every piece of creative output must b

"Make sure there's no black people depicted in the media by banning blackface". If only there was a way to buy ethnic food made by people from the culture and not a house brand with a white dude playing dress up.

Time frame - if you need the money next year your risk tolerance is very different compared to if you need the money in 10 years. You can't minimize both risk _and_ return, there's no free lunch

For the 30% of Americans who rent it's not any of their net worth. But I agree it's weird to pick real estate as the only asset class. Introduce a progressive wealth tax and eliminate capital gains taxes in favor of taxing all inc

You have to work with good companies that have a track record and clear policies. My last employer was pretty generous and timely AFAICT, including sometimes paying for stuff that was useful but clearly out of scope for the program.

7 direct reports actually seems fine if this person's role is primarily management. If they're also doing some combination of tech lead/product stuff they may want fewer reports to free up time for non-management activity. De

Financial capitalism where everything needs to be consolidated, bundled and sold as an investment vehicle seems like a pretty modern invention. To go to an extreme, look at It's a Wonderful Life. Something like a community bank in the

The limits aren't exactly hidden in the ToS, the author just wasn't aware of them. If you don't pay money for a service what kind of support can you expect on a holiday?

Even if this is true (I don't think they have that much power), why do you think this is what minorities would want? They don't want to be treated as equals and have opportunities, they want to make white people feel bad? The issu

We're looking at adopting GraphQL and for writing a CRUD app it seems insane. Being able to project out individual fields seems like a niche benefit for bandwidth constrained devices. Instead of doing joins in an RDBMS you write a data

Yeah I've taken a lot of estrogen at this point and I was never required to sign anything... Agree that people who call themselves "men" typically don't sign up for titty skittles.

I've worked at places where everyone got stock, but it was orders of magnitude different for engineers and non-engineers. I bought a house, my friend in support paid down their credit card debt.
