Yeah, what the hell were they doing responding "This is not a bug." without investigating or asking for more details? What the hell is the point of even responding to possible security alerts from the general public if you're

Having a hard time feeling sorry for the Winklevoss twins. The market paid them more than what they were worth.

The world market is big enough for everyone :-)

I agree. If you don't reflexively agree with knee-jerk libertarianism you are persona non grata here. A good way to ensure that new facts are not discovered, that new scientific discoveries don't happen, and that people don't

It is leading to less work. Why do you think we still haven't recovered full employment from the 2008 financial crisis? Fewer people are working more hours. Fewer and fewer and fewer people will continue to work more and more hours. As

Anything looks good next to cars :-) But yeah, flight is comparatively one of the safest ways to travel. But, in principle, it is still quite risky. A lot has to go right for an aircraft to successfully take off, fly, and land. Air speed mu

Elon Musk said it was nearly impossible to get injured in his system. Which means that any aircraft travel is out, because all it takes is an engine failure to kill everyone on board. The safety reason is a big reason why I'm going wit

If they blatantly stole your idea - don't worry. The type of people who can't think originally enough to come up with their own idea are probably not going to execute it well either. The same principle applies when someone else ha

I'd be all for it if it could get organic materials to space, including humans, and if it could do so without a rocket stage. The demo videos are really impressive (especially the blowing of the hole through that rug - be careful! Look

I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. I would have probably fallen for it after the phone call. The answer isn't that you're stupid - the answer is, when other human beings exert a ton of effort to deceive you, sometimes you&#x

I don't think rallies really change anything either, unless they are large enough to really disrupt other media coverage and shift public opinion. Which is rare. Polls change things. Politicians pretend to care about phone calls to the

Well, speaking from personal experience, I develop on Mac OS X and deploy to Linux. It would be helpful to be able to run the same container on both for testing purposes.

by Aqueous 13y ago
Right. You could have a container which has universal dylibs and static libs for x86_64/i386 compiled for Darwin in one directory and ELF shared objects and static libraries compiled for x86_64/i386 for Linux, logic to detect the

It'd be nice to get a suitable cross-platform container format, that would let you create a deployable container across multiple OSes. Process control groups exist in Darwin/Mac OS X - I wish you could sandbox packages with privat

This is the reason why a) I let myself off the hook for work that had to be rushed and isn't quite perfect when it ships, and B) why I'm not so goddamn critical of other people's work. Most of us are works in progress, doing

Not surprised that political journalists at the time were so threatened by his work, since it renders what they do utterly useless, and entirely about manufacturing drama and conflict and personality narratives when the numbers tell a more

The ad messages are under the promotions tab. Who clicks the promotions tab? You can even disable it. Honestly, if they were interspersing ad messages with my regular mail it would be a big issue. But just like with search, where ads are se

Unfortunately a lack of jobs that people are being paid for also creates a wealth disparity. You can't buy food if you don't have a job We need a stronger social safety net because there's just not going to be enough wealth-p

'There's also the whole idea of whether humans are consciousness or merely behave like consciousness.' Well this would be the counterargument. We behave ethically towards humans. Yet we have no conclusive evidence that other

Depends on whether you believe in Strong AI or Weak AI, whether a simulation is consciousness or merely behaves like consciousness. And then, because you can't decide between those two philosophical frameworks, you quickly realize that

Those three seem to be features of software development rather than programming. To me programming is writing a program.
