Also, middle-/upper-oriented people are more likely peer-pressured to placing in the "best" kindergartens, whereas lower-oriented people may skip it (much like skipping parental-school involvement). And, I suspect both…
Some people have to rationalize their stuck-in-the-1950's, environmentally-destructive, post-truth lifestyles with gusto somehow. How else to explain expanded fossil fuel consumption/exploitation, anthropogenic methane…
Interesting. Oddly enough, I used to have this massive custom sofa which was a real PITA to move... could only fit in storage unit if stood up on a roller dolly and so on. I bet there'll soon be an app using CV/ML to…
Alt-right gonna keep shoveling billionaire propaganda and/or InfoWars/Unabomber beliefs onto every and any memetic channel, because shouting lies loud/often enough is sadly rewarded by changing sentiment in low-fact…

TC rarely covers non-tech fields unless there's a tech aspect. Plus, we're talking about TC.
There's a happier, less-dramatic sane-area leaving out overt misogyny and social-justice warrior cry-bully behavior. Also, in hiring there needs to be process removal of as many cognitive biases (ie blinding resume…
I'm not using 1.0.0+ until it's codesigned and/or dmg gpg verifiable with a known-good signature. Do not install untrusted, unverifiable apps is security 101.
Apple's codesign ensures end-to-end chain-of-custody integrity with nonrepudiation, tied to a specific, named signer and likely also a credit-card. GPG signing and releasing fingerprints of all released artifacts on an…
When I was there way-back-when, the dining account dept hooked us up with unlimited all-you-care-to-eat (non-packaged) dining, likely because it was cheaper in terms of productivity (a-la Google) to keep staff…
I've been hearing about a bullet train for 30 years.

Building codes are not a one-sized-fits-all panacea, neither good nor bad inherently. They are both policy creation and enforcement to prevent as much harm as people can reasonably afford while balancing the tyrannies…
I used to work for R&DE as an FTE. Stanford campus is crazy expensive for mere mortals: parking permits are pricey, convenience foods (Tresidder) are movie theater prices. Treehouse and various bottom-of-med school…
Yup. Stack-based is great for high-level language VM interface ease-of-use (ie JVM languages) but generally sucks at the hardware level because most CPUs are register-based: the mapping doesn't scale as well because of…
In high school, I was an assistant manager at an Egghead in San Jose and got the employee discount on the id Anthology. It was pretty sweet. (Not to mention we borrowed nearly everything good in the store and…
I don't get out of bed for less than $100k unless it's $10k for a local gig for a week. They're going to pester you endlessly for free labor post-sales if you let them, but consider offering a support contract on a…
Their best goto-market is probably licensing and embedding in various existing consumer devices: battery-less TV remotes, external temperature sensors, cyclometers, etc. Otherwise, distribution and advertising becomes…
37signals did research on this. For a respectful community, start with a difficult-to-attain, invite-only profile where a person has to show a real, verified profile pic and post their also verified name. More like ASW.…
That. is. hilarious. (Business is like life, love and war: difficult)
There's a niche field of malware economics, but it makes sense that for-profit malware is ultimately a business, albeit an usually illegal one, which has to optimize just like any other app:…
Also: Air Crash Investigation / Mayday / Air Disasters is an interesting series if one is interested in real-world, root-cause engineering analysis.
