I can't believe how many took a margin call as some nefarious conspiracy. Kyle Kulinski, just as an example, said that Robinhood was given a billion dollars by hedge funds to disallow transactions of GameStop. https://twitte

It's quite unfortunate that so few lawmakers take lead on opposing mass surveillance (Ron Wyden and Ran Paul come to mind). This issue is without doubt way more important than most issues politicians choose to demagogue about ("ca

I stumbled upon this while going through the orders yesterday. Note that, Justice Thomas is talking in terms of how the law has been interpreted wrongly by providing concrete examples (his statement is definitely worth a read). The issue ba

Okay, so let's say some people can't afford to buy digital goods. How does that, by itself, explain a general belief that the few who do that are stupid because they "don't realize" that they are available for &quot

Yeah, I found to read that part dispiriting too. The fact that practicing on leetcode has such a substantial effect on one's chances, to me, shows that it's very likely that either employers don't know how to select candidate

Whether Facebook should be paying people to work or not, the decision should be made by Facebook and those people voluntarily, not imposed on them by the government. If some people think they should be paid for the work, they should refuse

You shouldn't be using debugging in dev tools to help write your code. Do TDD instead. This should help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B93QezwTQpI&t=2581s

That's wrong. What matters is the capacity to suffer. There are humans who do not have the mental capacity to articulate such a thing either. I'd highly recommend as it deals with such arguments in greater length. http:/&#x2

Regulation (except for environmental ones) tend to violate the non-aggression principle and are thus not preferable (it's basically the government using it's monopoly on legitimate use of force to determine on what terms people in
