For me, that skepticism began when Obama received the award. To his credit, he did not think he deserved it. But I have never viewed it in the same light since.

Now I have seen everything! The people section there is particularly creepy.

Are you open to candidates located outside of Lisbon/Europe?

I've been using Kagi for a while, and I find that it delivers better results in a cleaner presentation.

Paolo indeed is a great guy. Can’t wait to hang out with him next.

I am interested in learning more about the Sr. Software Engineer position. Is there any way I can contact you regarding this?

Oh my god.

This is insane.

What's next? Are we going to rename master's as an academic degree? Are we going to start using words other than master or grandmaster to refer to experienced martial artists? What about chess?

It's more complex than that because not every black person is equally likely to have an encounter with the police. There are studies that suggest that if you control for encounters with the police, blacks are just as likely as whites to be killed by the police. Half of violent crimes in the US are also committed by blacks. This is definitely one of the consequences of the history of slavery and segregation. Nevertheless, given that blacks commit 50% of violent crimes, it should be expected that the percentage of people killed by the police who are black, will be higher than their rate of representation in the general population.

There ARE also videos of whites getting killed in conditions just as tragic as e.g. George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, etc. But they go largely unreported in comparison.

I salute you.

“Sony's primary focus every generation is to get everything else right: development tools, hardware storage and performance, consistent controller design, software medium, and so on.”

Has the PlayStation really done consistently better than the Xbox on all those fronts? Looking at development tools, online gaming, performance and storage, I could see a case for the PS4, but did Sony do a better job with the PS2 or PS3, than Microsoft with the Xbox/Xbox 360?

The perspective is interesting nonetheless.

It is the best book on personal investing I've ever read, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

I remember finishing that interview thinking that Cenk was the most intellectually dishonest host I had seen in a long time. Sam's patience from beginning to end was extremely impressive.

Principles is my best non-fiction read of 2017. Superbly written.
