I speak Mandarin Chinese. They are kind of similar.

This is supposedly fully funded by the Boring Company. No tax money will be put in the project. At least that's what they are saying.

The $8.5 billion O’Hare Airport expansion project is approved and underway, and it is also funded by the airlines via issuing bonds. Supposedly, no tax money will be involved either.

Block 37 is also designed to serve as a downtown "terminal". Passengers will go through security and check in luggages before they board the trains.

I don't know the regulations, but installing double ended jet bridges doesn't sound that easy to me. It's probably something FAA has to approve. Staffing issues at the ticket counter and security is also outside of the mayor's jurisdiction. It's decided by the airlines themselves, TSA, and the organization that runs the O'hare airport.

Which is ultimately what separates a good language from a bad language. A good language should have ONE best way to do things. With the prototypical inheritance, there are impossible numbers of way to declare/define and inherit a class in JavaScript. That is just a trap for bugs and defects. How could you effectively understand what the code does when you can't read it in one glance? Especially code that is not yours.

ES6's class system is infinitely better.

I personally find it difficult to do anything mentally taxing. I walk at a 3.5mph pace, and I can hardly stay concentrated. I can code and do grunt work, but I can't solve complex problems while on a treadmill desk.

I find a solution in splitting my time and do complex coding while sitting grunt coding while on the treadmill. The switching is distracting. I don't get as much done this way comparing to sitting all day, but overall I think the health benefit is worth it.

There is also the possibility my pace is too fast, though.

I think it's interesting people would assume so. Good programmers don't always make good managers. Or business owner. The same reason why not every good carpenter runs a business and manages a team of people. Highly skilled experts are probably disciplined enough to freelance or work as a contractor. But the skills necessary to grow an enterprise are often a very different set of experiences outside of what they do for a living.

Or they simply aren't interested. They are happy with what they do.

On the other hand, seasoned programmers do make great interviewers. And a good interview often include them in the process. Their insights are very valuable.

Also as a sidenote, if there is no senior/lead developer during your interview process. Or the people do not appear to have a clue. Run. Unless they are going to hire your as the senior/lead, and they admit they lack the knowledge.

To provide some background, one needs to understand the United States is vast geographically. Driving for 2 hours over 100 miles (160 kms) is considered normal to a lot of people. That creates a huge gap among the poor and the middle class in terms of resources. I live in Chicago, and it is very, very easy to get a user couch in great condition for under $100 because the supply is plenty. People here can afford to get rid of their barely used furniture for whatever reason they like.

On the other hand, people living in the poor, rural areas have no access to this supply of cheap quality used goods. And they don't have the means to leave.

I would suppose opening up a business that transfer used goods from the rich area to poor area and capitalize on the margin would be a great idea in a lot of ways.

I actually sympathize with their business model. In the end, a business is to make money. They are charging people with ridiculous prices because the risk of them failing to pay is ridiculous certain.

It really goes to show the culture of poverty, and how hard it is to break from it. These people simply do not have the means or even the faintest idea to better their situation. It is very, very sad. They have no chance of breaking away from this vicious cycle. It is a major societal problem.

This business model is exploitative and downright evil. But they are not the problem. They are merely the symptoms. Getting rid of those rent-to-own shops won't fix the broken system.

I think it's interesting that technically Judaism, Islam, and Christianity all worship the same god. Yet they hate each other so much.

First of all, I am of Chinese descent. I grew up in Taiwan. That does not make me an expert on the subject, of course. I could be wrong.

1. Movable typing in China was inventing around 1040 A.D. [1], about 400 years prior to Guttemberg. It uses ceramic materials.

2. Confucianism, much like Christianity in the West and Islam in the Middle East, is not uncontested. And Confucius is not he greatest philosopher of all time.

I think this article is quite interesting. It's a very good summary of the West's understanding of "China", and it's a very good example of Chinese government rewriting history to suit its needs. I wouldn't buy much into it.

I think this is interesting, so I am sharing my story. I am the first born son, and I have two younger brothers, 2.5 and 7 years apart respectively. My mother said she took extra care in what she ate when she was pregnant with me, but she didn't give up any of the junk food stuff. Soda, coke, fast food like McDonald's, cake, etc.

When she was pregnant with the second one. Realizing she might have made some mistakes with her diet, she cut out soda and coke from her diet and ate less fast food. Especially since she wanted a daughter this time.

With the youngest, she worked part time as well. It's also during that time we moved, and she didn't have much time to watch she ate either.

There is not much size difference between me and the older younger brother. He is taller and leaner than me though. I am 6'1 and 205 lbs, and he is 6'2 and 180 lbs.

The youngest one is supposedly still growing. (Technically males stop at 25 right?) But he has always been smaller comparing to us when we were the same age. He is 5'10 and 185 lbs currently.

I think prenatal definitely play a role in a child's development and later life. And it's not always the case that the first born gets the best.

It is sort of related. It's a rant. I have many friends in the STEM field, or friends I play video games with. And I simply cannot introduce them to any of my females friends, or any friends from different social circles for that matter. They are a special breed of people, brilliant and quick, and they are also egotistic and mean.

They are very quick to make jokes of your mistakes or shortcoming. The way they pry and tease is the manifest of how exceptional they think they are. They believe they are above social norms. Being nice is for the weak and unenlightened mass. They have an opinion, they will have you know.

They deliberately choose to ignore and not understand why making certain remarks and some conversation topics make people uncomfortable. And when they want to insult you, they will insult in the most uncivilized way. When they want to hurt you, they simply do not understand when a line is crossed.

And I am sure they are not the minority. Even if they are, they are the loud and obnoxious minority that gives everyone a bad name. I absolutely understand why people decline to be part of that community, why there aren't as many females in that workspace. Stigmas and stereotypes are for a reason.

I agree. I am more than okay for them to try anything possible if I was already dying. I am an organ donor already, why not? At least they tried and the process would be a part of a greater study to improve modern medicine.

I am curious how much organ they could still harvest after performing such procedure though.
