I hope someday I'll read such detail research on when and how we evolve to lie. It always fascinated me, when this starts and how it propagates from one generation to another. I'm almost sure, it's the most unique human trait.
“This is a job and someone has to do it,”- this comment from the article just made my day. Hats off, such an awesome attitude and dedication towards work.
There is a new trend of full-page slide that scrolls but without the scrollbar. I'm seeing a lot of this type websites lately. Though I love the classic scrollbar.
Sometimes people/institution even become aggressive when they get information that is completely opposite of what they believe, Galileo was convicted of heresy because he believed that the Earth revolves around the Sun, which was just opposite of what Catholic Church believe.
Though this kind of rigidity hinders our progress but there is another side of the coin. This is the sole reason that keeps us happy in everyday life. If we take into consideration each and every information's then our life will become a hell for sure. We can't take veggies and fruits, mostly toxic due to the preservative used; can't use car/bus as its harmful to the environment, can't even eat a burger or coke, leads to obesity. I think it's better to have the gift of avoidance though rigidness should be avoided.
I'm not sure Galileo was convicted so much for what he believed as for being kind of a dick about it.
This is one of those silly myths that we for some reason perpetuate, like the old chestnut about people laughing at Columbus because they thought the world was flat.
I don't think your analogy holds water. I know the health risks of veggies, they're not that bad compared to missing them out completely. I make a conscious decision to risk it when I eat veggies, but I accept that veggies have unhealthy stuff when they're processed.
But denying a scientific fact is not the same. If people would've not just eaten veggies but called news about bad preservatives "fake news", then you would've had a point.
Its not directly the answer of the question but relevant. I believe unaddressed/overlooked problems are the greatest origin of a potential startups but not what we think an legitimate idea, actually is. For the 1st time every idea seems awesome, take time revisit after a few days, you will wonder that most of the sparks are gone by now. If it still looks promising start doing your research. This is another eliminator of an unique idea. Though it doesn't have to be unique. But you should bring your own flavor into it.
I can't see any good reason why you need to switch, your team mates are not 'toxic' and I believe pay is also fine. So why you want to switch? I agree sometime we need to switch for better carrier growth but when going to a new environment, there are chances that you have to adjust. Transitions phase in most cases are difficult. One last advice, don't switch only for money, job is and should be much more than that.
Have a different view on this,fb is a publicly traded company, its not only man (Zuckerberg) show. Though Mark got supreme power but I'm sure its not him behind every single decision. But if we talk about a single company having so much data, that's a threat for sure. As it's not in our hand we can just expect fb to understand, with great power comes greater responsibility.
That's great. But until we see these new libraries included in C definition, how new users will know that C is live? I think C11 is the last C standard, that is almost 6 years from now. Feeling sorry for this amazing language.
