Yup! Which is why brain drain to China will slow down imo. Unless they get a steady flow people wanting to get a dead end career there.

How did you get comfortable with Monads? I read this on Stack Overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/44965/what-is-a-monad and it did clear things up a little, just interested in seeing people who have had success with Haskell weigh in.

How much coding have you done in Haskell throughout your life? How comfortable are you with monads? Did you ever read the Baroque Cycle? Also, TYVM for doing this!

What if Facebook Released a Premium service, where you pay for the privilege of having no ads served to you? I am sure they have at least considered it a million times, and have decided it would be a bad idea.

you clearly are not well informed about VR if you think it is dead in the water. Have you even bothered to look at the Playstation VR? It has sold more units than Occulus and Vive combined, and has been out for way way way less time.

Google seems to somehow avoid criticism for doing the same crap other companies do. They have had horrible problems with Sexual Harassment, just as bad and toxic as Uber, but the narrative is not there, just stop and think about that for a second.

what in the actual? Let's not reinforce dim-witted stereotypes. There are all kinds of people. I have met the Socially Awkward, introverted, nerdy, absolute jerk prick asshole programmer as well. The type that attempts to anonymously create hentai comics of female coworkers. Nerdy men can and do become "High Performing Managers" they just use email more.

Nope, not even close. That just shows that people started accessing Facebook through Smartphone apps, where the decline starts is where mobile use exploded.

I think reality is much much much more complicated (we humans don't even know enough collectively to make such statements with any accuracy), and there certainly is a middle ground. I think people with inflated self worth are more likely to "succeed" because they will run right over others and maybe not even stop to justify the horror they just committed to improve their own lot in life, due to their sense of entitlement complex (which I guess you did allude to a little). Either way, I like your comment, it made me think.
Re:Israel’s Tech Firms Do Business in Saudi Arabia Quietly

? Zionist Groups were already active for decades killing Arabs and Brits and Christians and Muslims and Jews alike that opposed them. Let's just ignore all of the Zionist Paramilitary Groups that founded the IDF that would regularly kill Brits and Palestinians with bombs (King David Hotel Bombing, good place to start), and let's just ignore the Lavon Affair, where Israeli's pretended to be Muslim Extremists and tried to set off bombs, and let's just ignore Israel sinking the USS Liberty deliberately. Miko Peled's father admitted to Militant Zionists always being the Aggressor. You know how much slaughter, fraud and manipulation it took for the Partition Plan to make it to the UN? Militant Zionism was never an accident.

Re:John Carmack on expert witnesses and 'non literal' copying
on Thursday February 02, 2017 @12:23PM (#13552307)
He was the Dungeon Master in their Dungeons & Dragons games. John Romero loved Carmack's campaign world, but John Romero destroyed it, Opening up a gateway to hell, and then immediately regretted it (but they got the idea for Doom from it), since it was a long running campaign in a world completely designed by John Carmack. I think Heretic/Hexen and Quake also borrowed heavily from their D&D games. Masters of Doom is an awesome book.

no, shame on those who dox with malicious intent, and they got what they deserved for violating the T&C of Reddit, but still deserve a kick in the short and curly's for doxing. Alt Right is a turd blossoming community filled with misinformed hateful people of little merit, who have incredibly fragile egos.

Re:Growing Unease as British Mutual Funds Block the Exit Doors

You do know that City of London (separate entity from London) is the Financial Capital of the world (a clear cut above New York or Hong Kong)? 1/5 sounds correct to me, if maybe even a bit too low. You completely underestimate the amount of global investors that would choose British Mutual Funds for their portfolio on account of the above fact.

He said that before he converted to Islam, while he was a part of Nation of Islam (which is not Islam at all). Nation of Islam also teaches you that all White people are Devils (not just Jews), and that Fard Mohammed is God, and a bunch of other stuff that has nothing to do with Islam (since worshipping anything/anyone other than Allah is shirk, a sin that sends you to hell if you don't repent from it before you die).
Re:A Plan to Flood San Francisco with News on Homelessness

I really appreciate you sharing your personal situation. That last line was amazing. Some people lack compassion, spoiled by their own blessings that they are oblivious to, because their pride hides those blessings from them. Their ego tells them "I worked too hard and am too damn good at what I do, and too damn smart and able to have my success be attributed to anything but my self". Of course I may be citing an extreme example, but I have seen people espouse this line of thinking, because you do see it promoted in subtle and less subtle ways.
