It's possible that some (many?) programmers enjoy a Ruby-like syntax?

I wouldn't either but now that I have one one my desk, nightstand, and coffee table; I could never go back.

That's a bit relativistic; no? How could something that dies at a mere gram of arsenic have survived for so long?

Honest question, do you think a 2x factor of error is all that significant? Maybe it's just my EE background (where everything is measured in logs) but anything within an order of magnitude seems accurate enough for me.

Do you have any links I could peruse that explain how UBI would flatten the demand curve, rather than just shifting it?

> No, pitbulls are not sweet. Pitbulls are unpredictable monsters.

Do you have any direct experience with a well-loved, housebroken pitbull? In all my experiences with the breed, the only thing they're aggressive about is snuggling. /anecdata

Is the system setup to value them with money? Can a parent walk into a school and agree to higher property taxes if their kid is placed in a specific teacher's classroom?

Perhaps it's possible that digital marketing is not all that effective for commodity items?

I admit to having brand preferences for laundry detergent and garbage bags, though I like to believe (perhaps wishfully) they are a result of first-hand and family experiences.

I've contemplated using a service like this to lighten the junk mail, but how do you 'shut off' mail service at your physical mailbox?

Agreed, though it wasn't very long ago that growth was valued much higher than profitability. Maybe our opinion is (slowly) evolving? Perhaps growth-by-all-means is a perfectly valid play in an extremely network-effected market, while other markets might be better served by focusing on profitability?

Congrats on finding on a solution that works for your body. For me, I find eating keto gives me more even energy, allows me to sleep better, keeps me from feeling hungry, and I also lose weight.

Humans are pretty diverse; perhaps certain eating patterns work better for different body chemistries.

Absolutely this. All comp evaluations should start from what you could reasonably expect (salary + annualized stock) at a public company.

Startup comp is a little different; salary + the value of equity at (a reasonable) exit (but derated by a healthy 80%, because 80% of all startups fail, right?) It might also be wise to discount for any difference in preferred shares vs. common stock.

This might just be my personal experience, but I feel like a lot of people don't derate startup equity for (the statistically expected) failure correctly.

Wouldn't a much more natural unit for angular measurements be 1/(2*pi)? That way angular measurements are represented as their fraction of a circle (which is pretty easy to visualize; 180 degrees becomes 1/2.)

And your refute is an appeal to the masses or an appeal to authority depending on your tastes. Many intelligent people believe in conservative/libertarian ideals.

When considering solutions to tough problems, why exclude any class of thought?
