That’s an immature perspective. Actually, that’s not the most important litmus test; it’s whether you trust them completely to make good decisions with your life, kids if present and all your worldly life in their hands should you be incapa

Felix Dennis called it “point at the sky” cargo-cult success modeling. Even so, Walmart C suite and veeps were notorious about whom could arrive the earliest and appear to work the most. OTOH, 37signals would say “fire the workaholics.”

If the death penalty were ever plausibly-beneficial, this sort of low-life would deserve it.

Yes and arbitrary state censorship via prior restraint is knocking on our doors right now. If this isn’t throughly thrown out with prejudice, things will only get much, much worse.

There’s already manufactured consent and corruption of civilizational-implosion proportions, but this is a shot across the bow that the day of the fourth estate independent press maybe numbered.

Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond is a mind-expanding read. Furthermore, it should be noted that many civilizations have problems roughly around the 250 year / 10 generation time, and the US is quite close to that. Combined with

You’re talking about India: where slavery is alive and well, college girls are locked in at night and rape/domestic violence goes virtually unpunished, with police as “quality” as those in Afghanistan. VICE did a piece on this. Also, s

There is an uncomfortable fact: many people only notice harm when there’s a victim similar to them involved, but are typically oblivious or unconcerned with the troubles not in their purview: impetus for mass-migration to Europe, genocides

Greedily evaluating both Haskell and OCaml for systems development work rn. Haskell seems a lot cleaner, perhaps too purely clean, and OCaml seems to have some rough edges where it can’t/doesn’t infer types without awkward syntax. Lazy

Both observations have equal validity for middle-/upper-class denizens whom can spend money on increasing entropy much faster. Go to anywhere remote and/or poor, and the better-to-do outsiders will be gobsmacked by inventiveness t

If only London hotels architects had known this, the majority of showers might not be a size smaller than a phone-booth such that you cannot turn around in it and must enter/exit sideways... while not being at all rotund.

DemoRanch, Taofledermaus or iv8888 fired shotgun shells bare, ICRW. They’re the lowest chamber-pressure lethal (22LR and .25 are difficult but not impossible to make lethal) rounds.

The only completely polymer gun with a chance of not killing or maiming the operator is a shotgun cartridge blunderbuss with the shell/s place far away from the hands. With enough rubber bands, it should be possible to not need a metal

There’s a subtle, lurking danger in commodification of everyday activities (ie bike racks replaced with expensive rental bikes), bodily functions (ie sleeping, toilet) and necessities that were part of the public good (ie water fountains re

If someone wanted to connect with others and have a good time, rationality is the number one party buzzkill. I’d trade all rationality in perpetuity for being able to connect with people without even needing to think about it... social skil

What’s the political climate for getting a ~4 year entrepreneur visa passed and a better investor visa? I know about 10 people whom are business badasses but put off/ineligible without creating a reason to get a J-1.

The subtle shift is from purely civil penalties (ie garnishment, collections, seizing funds) to denying rights. There might not be a resurgence of debtors’ prison (except for unpaid alimony/child support) but other half-step curtainmen

Lol. CoreOS and Hashicorp products often throw “cloud” and “discoverability” around but lack crucial features for ops supportability found in solutions that came before. Zookeeper, Cassandra, Couchbase didn’t evolve in a development vacuum
