brooklynmarket··on Mexican Newspaper Shuts Down, Saying It Is Too Dangerous to Continue
And also the collapse of the government. They're totally vested in keeping drugs illegal. It's a profit center for them
brooklynmarket··on Mexican Newspaper Shuts Down, Saying It Is Too Dangerous to Continue
Can someone explain to me, what would happen if Mexico tomorrow, all drugs were legal like Portugal? Could it get any worse. Portugal seems to doing just fine.
brooklynmarket··on Wikileaks releases CIA's Marble: Malware obfuscation tools
Wow C is back. Figured they were using php and Wordpress. :-)
brooklynmarket··on The Most Expensive Weapon Ever Built
Could we just kill everyone in the world not like us? Would not just be how AI would work? Then ZERO worries? What do you think, makes logical sense right? /s

Never, ever have to worry again! :-)

brooklynmarket··on Google Talk Is Being Discontinued
We're actually talking to Google. If they don't up their game with their Alexa like device, AKA Google Home, it's next on the chopping block. Big disconnect there. She sounds like a robot, development tools are really a fraction of what Amazon offers.

The sales revenue is so high for their click model, their best minds are working on how to get people to click on ad's for shoes. Needs a shake up at Google, for sure. It's time.

Maybe everyone having to pass their fabled "white board" coding interview is leaving creative minds behind? Everyone just knows the best way to do a binary sort, and not much more. That's my thinking.

brooklynmarket··on Launch HN: Boxouse (YC W17) – Shipping-container homes
Great idea, just wondering on cost breakdown.

If you can get a new container for just $2550, why is a bare bones $9K?

Seems one could rack out their own very easily. Just wondering.

brooklynmarket··on Unsealed Documents Raise Questions on Monsanto Weed Killer
I'm always reminded of my Wall Street trader friend, and his chat with me:

From 9:30 to 4, I'd kill my mother to make a dime on a trade. My own mother, that's how driven I am to make money. I'd kill her on the spot for that dime if I could get away with it.

Of course, after 4, she's my mom. And I'd love her to death. He works for a very well respected Wall Street Firm.

Food for thought. What people will do for money.

brooklynmarket··on On Programming Languages: Why My Dad Went from Programming to Driving a Bus
As a friend related the other day, "wow, all these coders, they want to be woodworkers now. What's up with that?"

Working in a fine woodworking, cabinet makers setup, vs hacking C#? Your call.

PS, you can make 3X in a week learning how to use a router, but keep it under your hat. And the girls LOVE carpenters for some wild and crazy reason.
