It will be interesting to see what happens if the US ends up with negative interest rates. Japanese and EU banks won’t have assets they can buy to get yield from, nor will the US. One could consider something like a Gold ETF where a percent

There is also the possibility that using less secure communications hardware and software could be exposing individuals and companies to criminal and civil liabilities due to other legal requirements. In the US this is already the situation

It can also serve as a major red flag, when a company adds in a bunch of unnecessary things while excluding things that aren’t required, but are critical, to valuations such as churn rates. This was a big one in Uber’s filings where it look

Calling it a porn ban is being generous. It was a content filter that kind of worked, with tons of false positives.

I think it was something related to the tight grip used in lifting weights. I started with the beginning workouts from the book You Are Your Own Gym. In retrospect, 90% of the benefit was from the pushups, which I had completely avoided doi

At the worst, I had continuous wrist pain and woke up in the morning unable to feel my arms. I couldn’t physically hold a mouse for more than about 15 minutes. When this happened I was also lifting weights. I spent thousands of dollars on e

There is no shortage of videos of people in cars pulling in front of visible trains. Drivers stop over rail tracks all of the time. Frequently pedestrians hit by trains, excluding suicides, have earphones in.

Similar time frame for me, but I loved Warcraft 1, 2, and disliked 3. Loved the first Diablo, zero interest in the rest. The golden age for me was perhaps a little later, LAN parties with friends, primarily FPS games with some RTS mixed in,

The documentary is pretty good too. If anyone has seen it and read the book, I’d be interested to hear any recommendations https://www.amazon.com/American-Experience-Command-Robert-Ke...

The only shocking thing to me is this is the first time I’ve seen any story about this hole in the GDPR. This was one of the top reasons we blocked and deleted all EU users. How do I verify that a request is legitimately from a user, short

If your timing is bad, the returns from an index fund are terrible. The best advice is not just to hold for a long period (25+ years) but also not to go all in or all out.

Drip irrigation is not foolproof. If there isn’t enough water the salinity of the soil increases until eventually it can’t support plants anymore and you end up with something that looks more like Iraq. I’m not sure what that means for gree

I’ve seen a few people go flying off of their scooter and I know one person who broke their wrist. I don’t know what the miles to death rate is. If you excluded the drunk people who’ve been killed in crashes they probably aren’t too dangero

If you look at how much the overall volume of deliveries has increased in the past year, it doesn’t seem abnormal. You have something with a very low barrier to entry, and plenty of alternatives to switch between. Contrast this with, for ex

I can’t comment on the specific project, but it could do the opposite. Dams eventually silt up and the changes in waterflow can cause a lot of other undesirable changes. If planned poorly enough, hydroelectric shouldn’t even be considered r

I don’t know enough about this, but if there is drug-resistant HIV couldn’t this affect PREP?

Yeah but certainly all of the work TSMC’s customers account for something there too. Doesn’t seem like an apples to apples comparison.

Except that Google has to pay Apple $12 billion a year to remain their default search engine, a price that has increased every year. What chrome did by training users to enter their searches in the address bar (via the default tab’s fake go

It is the entities spending millions of dollars to find exploits but then not disclosing them that we should be concerned about. This makes Apple stronger not weaker.

“Intrusion attempt” as alleged in the article is more like an “intrusion attempt” by the publishers to exploit a bug in the user’s web browser. Publishers have every ability to use some DRMed iOS app and bypass the web completely. Instead t

The big question is driver retention and how much Uber subsidizing drivers is required. Maybe Uber spends 0 extra, drivers drop out of the system, ride prices increase, and drivers return as riders stop using Uber, bringing it to some sort

I think ultimately it is up to regulators to determine how to deal with these companies / platforms. They are legal entities and can be targeted, unlike open source software projects and protocols. I can add a lot of opinions as to if

“Rich folks” include pension funds, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds. The whole thing seems to me like central bankers confusing cause and effect and trying to squeeze a complex system in to linear regressions. Lots and lots

Between touch screen and the Apple Pencil I would say the mouse is the least important input device, unless you really want to play a first person shooter. If you are a keyboard centric developer then ideally everything is accessible by a k

There are countries that ban ads, but they also ban a lot of other things. My presumption is that if advertising was banned, and you were still dealing with a relatively free society, that many more resources would go in to PR and marketing

This is a fixable problem. AR lenses so there is no longer a benefit to being somewhere just for the photo.

My dad has a box of punchcards for code he wrote in his university class, well before ‘98. I think all of my own 90s era code was on floppy disks that may or may not still be readable.
