The west will not protect Ukraine for two giant reasons. 1. Russia has gas over Germany. 2. Amassing troops on Russia's boarder without an alliance with Ukraine is politically challenging. 3. America is sick of war and doesn't hav

Can anyone with a background in law comment on whether or not this is serious? Because it doesn't seem serious. Primarily the amount asked for, but also the question of jurisdiction as well as the question collective culpability. For e

That's true, but they also often leave. I've taught three[0] people a little younger than me software that all wanted to do it for the freedom and financial security and two of the three transferred out of software to something el

I actually agree with your underlying urge: space travel should be pleasant! But what separates out engineering from science is essentially economics. In science we don't know the scale a discovery will make until we've made it. B

We can. It's been written about for decades. It's just expensive.

Well, it's partially because police salaries are based on the rate of solved cases, no? Surely there is underreporting. And the homicide rate in Canada (which includes unintentional manslaughter) isn't much higher than the reporte

The thing that's funny about web3 is that it's going to absolutely turn into celebrities shilling to the rich. They've always done that, but now it's going to be extra cringy because it's going to be so blatant. The

If anyone knows, it's US intelligence. They're so good at fingerprinting it's crazy. I highly doubt that they wouldn't be able to identify the person / people behind Satoshi.

No colour. I want an e-ink with syntax highlighting. This is great and all, but even 16 base colours would go a long, long way. Oh also, would be nice if it were built into a MBP and I could switch between monitor types quickly, but I know

People will freak out about this, but I'm not worried. Search has this whack-a-mole find-the-pointer-to-the-pointer problem where unless you're going to up the state control at China levels it's essentially pointless. If you

Same goes for the Elon Musk scams[0]. They have the same photo as Musk this is not rocket science. On photo upload do a similarity check before allowing new tweets to go live. [0] There is a vast, unending sea of bots that shill scam crypto

If so, no wonder. I've done a lot of data analysis contracts over the years and they were, by far, the most concerned about protecting user privacy way before it was cool. Tiny sounds just like their values.

I'm presently torn about this. I want to be vegan / vegetarian as often as I can be for ethical / environmental reasons, but I find that whenever I eat a substitute it tastes like it should, but the satiation of the inner d

I mean, not really? There's an implicit frequency hint with the word "good" that implies that it's not so rare as to not be present in a non-trivial portion of the population. If someone said to me "most good doctor

I understand all those things? Everyone I work with does except for maybe memory management? If you said assembly or Fortran or Cobol, sure. But most good developers know these concepts.

Amazing! I can't wait :) If for some reason I don't respond please reach out on Twitter. My personal email gets a lot of spam and Google is great, but occasionally real stuff slips by.

For me, this type of reasoning goes out the window when the way someone makes their living is actively hurting millions of people. I'm not quite callous, I think we should help them transition to a new line of work, of course, but don&

Well if you happen to be in Toronto or San Fransisco let me know via email. I'm happy to go for a coffee or beer with someone knew to a city. I'm usually in TO, but I'm in SF once every month and a half for work. Best of luck

If you're speaking about the USA then I'm not really sure we disagree as much as you think. I'm from Canada and have observed that Americans suffer from more political corruption than Canadians. I didn't say there was no

by 3pt14159 5y ago
Well, it is called corruption. Not by every paper every time, but it is. The implied point the author of the piece is trying to make is an equivocation of British corruption with African corruption (whatever that means, Africa is 3x the siz

The most enlightening bit I read online on this subject was that of a serial cheater who held no remorse for doing so. Her attitude was basically something like: > Hey, I love him and if he doesn't know it doesn't hurt him and

Yeah that's how I used to think too, but we can characterize it another way if we want to. The costs of upkeeping the codes that keep us safe should be born by those that test their limits. But in the end, to me it is much simpler than

I mean, I was ideologically outraged as a young adult when I found out that the Ontario building code must be followed by law but that it must be purchased for around $350 at the time. But I kinda get it now. Doing stuff the right way is ha

Depends on the time frame of the debt. If most of it is in multiyear bonds then a bad year or two is not so dire, though I agree that the US has some structural challenges coming over the next two decades. Also, one of the things I don&#x27
