Its the balance of deterrence and incentives. In the case of drugs, no one really goes to jail fo doing drugs, only selling them. People therefore feel free to do drugs, which drives demand for people to sell them. Thus an incentive a

The point of punishment is deterrence. You maximize value by facilitating a culture that doesn't lie, cheat, steal, and do harm to others. The value a single person can generate is dwarfed by the value an ethical culture will. "Wo

Depends on the circumstances. If you are trying to make a valuable product, good ethics will probably serve you better than bad ones in a majority of cases. If you aren't concerned with generating real value and are fine with running y

Ethics an morals have financial upside, for people and groups of people (companies). For instance, do to their past behavior, and its publicity, Cisco is likely to lose many more competent employees during an acquisition than had they behav

I don't get what point you're attempting to make. Your comment suggests you think inflation came from from pandemic (a loss in productivity?), the the link is about corporations sopping up the extra cash that was floating around v

By "grow up" do you mean "coalesce"? If so, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Right? They were perfectly positioned to profit from the rise of LLMs, and somehow missed the boat (and continue to do so).

32oz is a ton of soda tho.. Even when I was a teen at 6'4", 32oz of soda would be a sickening addition to a meal.

To be fair, C++ is a pretty rough language to be productive in generally, type system aside. GC is the single largest productivity enhancement a language can offer. I'd be way more interested in how Golang, with it's much simpler

That's the speed most ebikes go to. My claim is that the risk for ebikes is higher than regular bikes because the average speed of ebike riders is higher. Also, completely aside, 20mph on a regular bike is totally doable, just exhausti

by BobbyJo 3y ago
How much time do you think someone peddling under their own power could maintain 20mph? Unless they have a lot experience biking, not much, so their exposure to high risk speeds is far less than a bike they can hop on and hold that speed th

Most of the abstraction between disk and container is external to K8s. You can use a single box CPU+disk with K8s if you want, that's just not a configurable product offering, so that's not how any of the cloud providers expose di

Is this actually true though? Speculation, but I doubt "mom" would have the same appeal as "step-mom" for the same reasons that the former isn't allowed and the latter is.

Fundamentally, I don't see a way to frame the A.I. generated child porn problem in a way that doesn't apply to a lot of other legal things. Maybe you could say it inspires people to go and do X, Y, and Z to children, but then you
