So nepotism = good morals? You pray everyone can make the choice freely and not be coerced into a decision they did not want. Let's pretend that your family is from the USA and has been the beneficiary of slave labor, that without slav

Can I get a source on this please? In particular I would be curious about what is the breakdown in the % of female engineers and female management in Meta.

Can you go into more detail about the food thing? How would I as a non-Indian identify someone's caste from their food preference?

How to get better at anything: 1. Find the limit of your abilities. 2. Push yourself to exceed your limit slightly. If the most you can bench press is 40kg, push yourself to bench 40.5kg. If it takes you on average 5 hours to fix a bug, pus

Can you talk a bit about how facebook measures impact from their employees? How is it defined? How closely do you think it tracks real impact. How often do people figure out how to game it, and how is it usually gamed? Do you think it is po

If you said this last week about Singapore I would agree with you. Have you looked at their graph in the last few days?

Why do you believe that the optimal point for a business is maintaining the employees on the edge of quitting? What are the pros and cons of doing this?

No. Your response is the reasoning that every non-asshole makes as they get converted into an asshole because of their interactions with assholes. The response to someone being an asshole to you shouldn't be to be an asshole back to th

Eh at the very beginning of the article, the writer states that this article is exclusively about smart assholes, assholes who are good at their job. Someone who is not doing their job is not a smart asshole and is much more easily identifi

Reading Refactoring by Martin Fowler helped me a lot. The examples are in Java but many of the concepts apply across all languages. However I would say the examples makes the most sense for statically typed languages. I wonder if anyone kno

It just needs to be tested on more complex decisions, possibly in a larger network. Most people don't feel the need to delegate choosing what kind of food they like to eat. Now if google starts using this system to decide what kind of

If you started programming when you were 12 and you've been programming for fun more than 4 hours a day every day since then, you are going to be drastically better than someone who starts programming in their first year of college and

The questions get progressively more intimate. No reason to finish all 36 questions in one go. Certainly some of the earlier questions are appropriate for a first date.

I really wish the main findings had been summarised in one paragraph at the top of the article, instead of towards the end. All things considered it could have been written a lot shorter and a lot clearer.

I wonder what the game depth would be for significantly more complex games like Starcraft 2 or League of Legends. Given the way those games track statistics we should be able to get a definitive answer.

The only way to be able to quantify "10%" is if you have the ability to predict the future perfectly. If you don't have any stockpiled bandwidth you will have big issues if anyone leaves the company for any reason, and you wi

Speaking as someone who used to watch SC2 and now mostly watch DOTA2 only, the reason I stopped was because it got so boring. Blizzard design choices made the games awfully predictable, to the point where I just lost interest. This is in co

This was a terribly written piece. It is terribly long winded, when what it was trying to say could have been said much better in a few short paragraphs. I don't think it is possible to take seriously the words of anyone who thinks the

That's a bit of faulty induction going here. Just because one site didn't work doesn't mean it will never work. There are all kinds of other variables involved, maybe it was just the execution. It is certainly insulting to sa

Does that mean he should stop and go back to being a barracuda? It's certainly not fair to make the comparison of saving one life in exchange for taking another. A better comparison would be saving many (millions?) of poor, non-white l
