the fact that it is even legal to ask about one’s race on the application is fucking crazy.

Stop with this bullshit. USSR showed growth, it never showed actual great economy. The growth was only impressive so long as it was in a process of getting shit together. Educating population, building basic road infrastructure, etc. when you are in a shithole, you can show impressive growth for a while while getting to a basic level. They never figured out how to actually prosper.

Hmm. Why top level comments are closed?

New comment by Vitaly in "Face ID Stinks [video]"

Vitaly — Thu, 14 Dec 2017 17:41:04 +0000

Face ID is by far my favorite feature of my iPhone X. I was expecting the camera to be the number one feature. Don’t get me wrong, camera is fantastic. As good as I expected and then some. But Face ID just blew me away. I was always having issues with Touch ID. Whenever I have sweaty hands, or sometimes just randomly it would fail. Since iPhone X I almost never have to actually enter the lock code. It just works. And in rare cases it fails it works on the second try when I retry it “properly”, fixing the usually obvious reason it failed, e.g. not facing it right etc.

I can't find the study right now, but from what I understand it is only really beneficial to animals the size of a mice, as soon as you move to bigger animals the effect is sharply reduced, and experiments with monkeys (or was it even primates? I don't remember) didn't find any real life prolonging effect. So you might be subjecting yourself to not enjoying food for no real benefit after all.

SEEKING WORK - Berlin or remote

Rails, Nodejs, JS/Coffeescript, React, Backbone/Marionette, Erlang/Elixir, Elm

While my latest love is Elixir and Elm, I've been doing Rails since 2005.

More then 20 years of professional experience. I did it all, from Linux kernel drivers to web apps.

Since we started web freelancing in 2005, we (at Astrails) did more then 100 projects with many successful startups and bigger companies.

I have a lot of experience helping startups from early stages to production. Can help with defining the product and scope for the MVP, and general advice on how to increase your chances of success.

Or you could just mandate all toilets to be open to the public. Like, for example, in Israel.

Or may be good programmers in US don't feel the need to prove themselves on such sites, instead they can just go and work for good company like Facebook, Apple, Google, etc.
