I know what's up. That why I made the comment. It's more about what is said than the actual content of the statement itself. If I did the above, and someone made a stink, I'd hit 'em with "Are you denying my lived…
Just exploit the identity-political zeitgeist that's overtaken universities lately: claim yourself genderqueer, non-binary presenting as male. With the right incantation, the organizers will fold like a house of cards,…
We tech workers can really take the keys to the kingdom, if we want. In fact, I don't think any group of people has had access to so much potential power as an industry ever in human history. Of course, the first part…
While state/referential transparency/immutability are important (and great features), they're more associated with pure FP. Purity is not a necessary precondition for a language to be classed as "functional". I'd argue…
I believe you, but this really reads like something on /r/thathappened.
Conal Elliot's paper on the subject is a really good starting point: http://conal.net/papers/beautiful-differentiation/beautiful-...
True. Same thing with Velos. What a piece of shit that is
370k is pretty good change. What do you do?
Yeah, reading that just made me sad. That's some next level everything-that-can-be-done-in-life-has-to-have-some-monetary-ROI-on-it, kind of bullshit.
This is more of a historical survey of the idea UBI than a mediation on why it's good/bad thing. I get the arguments he makes from the perspective of the revolutionary Left. They are, however, not interesting or really…
Already did. Thanks!
What can I say about this article? I recently moved here, like many other people in tech. I didn't come for the draw of nature--which I love--but for a higher paying job and a chance to escape a poor, decaying, east…
Great, you cite Joel Spolsky. Good for you. But you didn't address a single point that I brought up beforehand. The original point, if I recall, was that mechanical labor will, at some point in the future be capable of…

I should clarify. My emphasis should have been on issues of power, rather than size. Governments happen to be large institutions for sure, but the power to realize a breakup of monopolistic practice lies in the fact…
As it stands, only an entity as large and powerful as the government is capable of busting up said combines, cartels, and monopolies. My question is this: if officials at all levels of government are working in…
I can vouch for Philadelphia. I live right across the river from it. The city itself is really is a hole. There is rampant crime and the infrastructure is literally crumbling. North Philadelphia, is essentially a…
Thank you for the historical context. I did not know that.
Fine, I understand where you're coming from. Consider though that by very fact the conquistadors received funding from the crown, must in some way, shape, or form, have reflected prevailing attitudes at the time in…
