I think we kind of know. I mean, wolves and dog like creatures live along side humans all over the world. They hunt with us and eat what we leave behind and we use things or did for a long time, things they left behind. It's only natural

First of all, I really like it. I think it is nice. Some questions, then some thoughts, and some prognostications. What is the OpenID box? I don't know what to put there. I don't have an openid. Will openid be a link to the numbr? Is i

Depends on the woman, but in a crowd of 20 men and women, the self-aggrandizing male is almost guaranteed a ride home.

If they put it to a shareholder vote and everyone decides leaving china is good that is fine. If they make a vote among a few insiders at the top and leave china and then it turns out billions in market cap are lost as a result, I'm almost

Google's board and executives have a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders to do what is in the best interest of shareholders -- not Chinese dissidents. It doesn't matter if those executives are founders are not. All the warm and fu

If one were to set out on such a path and accomplish the goal out of hobby or desire to learn a new language, or for whatever reason, how long would something like that take? How long did it take 37s to build ROR? How long did PHP take?

It's a matter of privacy. You have created this feature to reward participation, but someone who should be receiving that reward is telling you it is actually a curse. It may be a narrow appeal, but it is being requested by someone who has

Google doesn't give you the best answers, they give you the last answer someone else chose. That's how google works, because google believes the best answer is the one after which the searcher does not click on anything else. How would goo

Not really. It just means that when people type "How do I" in front of a search and then click on a link with how do i and then whatever it was, then google picked the right result, even though it doesn't know that you are asking for instr

Mhm, this was the state of the industry the last time I checked. I suppose it would be easier to take an existing laptop and replace the parts...

The same reason I built my own workstation. The same reason I build servers. Because you can build better equipment and gain an intimate understanding of the system so if something goes wrong, you're more apt to fix it without a $500 fee f

It's like one people saying "I don't want to use guns, because they are difficult to understand and I can do bad things with them." Meanwhile, the people who are taking the time to learn about and use guns are dominating the world. Any deve

What if, like physics, each "improvement" to mankind has an equal and opposite negative impact on the world? If we think about benefit and harm, these are usually with respect to energy. It takes time to heal wounds, it takes more energy

I don't think you have to be an evolutionary biologist to understand it or find patterns in evolution across timescales. Hawking is a brilliant man and I'm sure he knows a lot of stuff outside physics.

There’s always some ratio of developers working for monetary benefit to those working their way up. Additionally, the corporates can depress wages by pointing to plenty of inexpensive competition in the "working their way up" group. Not

I think in this case, ad hominem is appropriate. He is arguing about mispriced assets while investing in companies that sells more virtual tractors than John Deere. He's saying, in effect, Amazon isn't paying you enough to waste your tim

I've gotten tired of Fred's blog. I really don't like seeing requests made from my browser every other second. I don't like how slow it is because he has every social hook in there, many to his own companies. He's a venture capitalist, wh

One of the problems with no schedule pressure, which I believe is best, is that software can always be better. Clicks can be removed. User interfaces can be made cleaner and easier to look at. To remove the schedule pressure, you have thin

You're absolutely right, that's exactly how I remember it too. People used to call me all the time, "I can't find a laptop under $1,000, help! What should I buy? Should I just get a desktop for $700? I can use the same monitor." Now, my n

Well, that will be okay. Do you want to spend your time building the game or writing ray tracing algorithms? You want to call Array.sort(), not write a sort. It just takes up time. It's interesting that CISC won out over RISC considering
