I feel you could've eaten the "fuck off" had you really cared to. Did you read the article? This guy is (or was?) using a ⇒ symbol instead of => in Javascript source code. He's wanking a bit. I enjoyed it otherwise...

Notably you're further demonstrating my point by continually asserting your right to ignore it. While appealing to authority. And still being sort've condescending... The "wankery" didn't mean nothing . But you jus

I meant the former. It's truthful even if spelled correctly. ;)

Damn it! I just read this 10 hours later. I totally know how to spell "hemorrhage". Don't judge me posterity.

Well... As the guy that did all of that let me tell you: it's futile. I knew back when Bill Binney came forward. It was all documented or otherwise obvious. From this I've learned something. People are HEAVILY biased towards the v

No. Your comment doesn't use any magical concepts for which I have no model. I think I entirely understood it. It's simplicity is incidental but allowed for that. People who come up with simple solutions based on Their Own Ideolog

IMO those very few people would benefit tremendously from a less diluted workplace. Such that they may actually seek it out were it not for the forces that drive them away. The modern startup is essentially this. It just takes a VC to make

I think basic income would do a lot to resolve this tension. People can work towards their own interests with a flat tax on their income and capital gains. Those tax dollars are redirected to an electronic deposit given to everyone for the

Yes. But only one http request. If they're both the same query but access a different field you might be able to cache it.

I agree. The world needs more granular incentives.

You're not refuting an argument I made. Read it again. I was simply trying to highlight the point at which we might actually have some meaningful effect on the problem. Hint: punishment is irrelevant.

Expectations went up too. In proportion to the increase in efficiency. So people's perceptions of their own lives decrease in value. That's just how people work. You can say whatever you want about these absolutes. No one cares an

The attention we're talking about here isn't narcissistic supply. It's basic interpersonal human concern. Shooting up a school because you're being systematically starved of your basic human needs isn't nearly as ba

Thank you for posting this. All of it was super interesting. Also thank you for your assuredly thankless service as both a rational and faithful person.

In my experience Christian's seem very supportive of the death penalty.

I was only talking about school shootings but I still didn't expect it to be that high. Too bad it didn't have the median.

"If you walk into a school, start shooting and are captured alive - I think you just forfeited any claim on life or potential rehabilitation." Unfortunately most of the people who do this are children. They're usually in situ

This. Some kids should definitely be put it special classes where they're taught to both deal with normal people and forgive them for their ways. If you don't spend much time deceiving people then you're far less able to dete

Everyone knows what transformers are. And that they're powered by the Allspark. I think you're just jaded.

Right but the usually accepted answer is not: I just give them bullshit to do or otherwise plan on having time to do their work if/when they don't do it sufficiently. That's the right answer. We just don't like it becaus

I think the idea is that Otto is the (new) interface and Vagrant is a potential implementation. A 2.0 would hide this distinction.

That was super interesting. Thank you for posting it. The DVD/Streaming split was an especially interesting period for Netflix. I didn't know the back story behind it. For anyone curious, it's at the end.
