Sure, plenty of people thought that it was a good purchase, but my point is nobody thought of it as buying out their competition. The transition into a social media platform and algorithmic content machine occurred under Facebook's dir

I usually dismiss conspiracy theories, but if this were a dump and pump, it would be surprisingly clever. 3 hours before he announced easing tariffs, Trump tweeted that it's a good time to buy stocks. If he gave someone insider informa

Regardless of your stance on affirmative action, it should be very suspicious that all prestigious universities implemented it until it was banned while support in the general population is mixed.

We're sliding away from democracy because nobody seems to genuinely care about democracy anyone. People want a dictatorship that they agree with. It's not like DOGE was something Trump was hiding. On the left, you don't exact

It used to be assumed to be the case because the heartbeat is so closely associated with life. This is why the first artificial hearts replicated pulses, despite requiring much more complexity. It turns out that your body can function more

How is it safe to spend all this money on a domestic factory just for it to be cheaper to import everything anyways? The safe choice is to hoard cash and inventory until they have certainty of whether tariffs will happen or not. All Trump i

Tariff may be worse for the economy, but threatening tariffs as a "negotiating tactic" with Canada and Mexico is just plain stupid. Unless if they have insider information, businesses simply have no idea how to operate. For exampl

This article is what is disingenuous. You can always cherry pick ways why you think some statistics matter more than others, but that doesn't mean that "the data is wrong". I don't have time to go through ever issue, but

The reason Americans can't afford healthcare or housing isn't because we spend 3.4% of our GDP on military spending, but decades of terrible policy. Americans have the second highest disposal income in the world, only behind a tin

I suppose I'm thinking about transformer architecture rather than strictly GenAI, but the computer science aspects of protein folding and GenAI seem like they overlap significantly.

Protein folding is a an application of generative AI that will probably produce trillions of dollars of value in the long term. It was probably impossible for Google to squeeze that sort of money from researchers who use it, but it proves t

What gives you the idea that police in Singapore don't have qualified immunity? It sounds like you're treating it as a buzzword. The police anywhere are not liable for the actions they take as part of their job.

You're right, but progressives treat crime statistics as dog whistles for racism, which to be fair isn't uncommon. However, you can make a very similar "woke" argument. Much of crime is caused by centuries of systemic ra

I wasn't clear. By "afford a flat" I meant outright purchase property, which the government would need to do to actually solve homelessness.

To be fair, in tree tables, we also assume that comparison is a constant time operation as well when it also necessarily needs to be O(log(n)) for an arbitrary sized table, making it an O(log(n)^2) data structure by this standard.

The US thought it was "stupid" to let shipbuilding jobs leave the US, leading to the Jones Act. This hurt just about every other domestic industry, consumers, and caused the American shipbuilding industry to deteriorate even more.
