I want more than anything to use Firefox, but the fact remains that they have internal issues that prevent them from creating a quality product. Slow startup times, constant hangs, memory leaks, crashes, and general…
Taxes have existed for a very long time.
Have they ever turned a profit yet? Last I heard they were still losing money in 2017. Not what I would call mature.
Bitcoin hasn't been useful as a currency for a long time. I don't think that's a good measure for determining how an event might affect bitcoin price.
Those four role models don't look like me, and I think they're all awful examples of people someone should look up to. But you need to acknowledge both sides. Stop being so stubborn and look at it objectively. We do…
What's interesting is that anyone implementing mass surveillance could care less about your proposed benefits.
What's telling to me is that while the list of investors if full of famous names (politicians, founders), there isn't what I would consider a single reputable silicon valley investor anywhere in the list.
I know companies do this, but I don't understand how it works. Given the competitive nature of hiring good engineers what type of candidate would accept a contract position when they probably have five other offers?
I think there's two different complaints at play in this thread. Surely you're not suggesting that candidates be exempt from proving themselves. The number of developers who become incompetent over time is high. I think…
What really gets me is when you pass all 6, only to be told that you did great but there are no suitable positions open.
UI Design or a Frontend Software Engineer? I'd expect people working on the frontend to just as proficient in time complexity, space complexity, and performance analysis as a backend engineer. I don't particularly…
So you want a company to hire somebody after talking them for 30 minutes? Based off of what? You honestly can't imagine talking about technical software problems for more than 30 minutes? That's a pretty big red flag to…
There's irony. Asking for GitHub is 10x worse than algorithmic questions. I just went through the interview process at big companies, with all the resources out there it's easy to get good at these types of questions.…
I somewhat agree with you. The US does have a great system in place, and I believe that in the US we're most likely to catch bribery when it occurs, if not close. However, the fact that catching bribery is common means…
If Google's human inputs have racial bias that is certainly something that should be fixed. DuckDuckGo has safe search on by default. > That a query for an innocent term such as 'black girls' even with 'safe search off'…
You act as though seeing it in an independent cinema is an advantage? Isn't a month of Netflix's subscription cheaper than going to the cinema? That's the real problem. Trying to charge that much for a single viewing of…
The idea that real users will only be slightly inconvenienced is something I see often. However, that imposes real costs. A significant percentage of those users will not be determined enough to solve a captcha every…
I'm not saying Amazon will switch to passenger transport, but you can imagine that their strategy would be to dominate the market by subsidizing ticket prices, then once they have the proper penetration, to raise ticket…
Am I missing something? Virtually the entire open source ecosystem resides on GitHub, an unprofitable walled corporation. Not having searchable logs could be an issue, but how that different than an irc channel?
My mistake then. That's unfortunate, and less interesting then.
It's not a guaranteed win, no. However, if they are at the point where they wish to be euthanized then their outlook is grim. However, even a minuscule chance is better than zero chance, correct? In addition, by…
It seems interesting from the perspective of the customer, but the really interesting thing is that if this succeeds, they will have access to brain imaging data that no one else has. You can't normally get such…
Trivial appears to be the right word. In the linked cases of bribery government officials were bribed for a hundred to hundreds of thousands of dollars. When public officials are bribed, they all tend to be in that…
Anna is a hummingbird. Known for its fastest relative speed.
