It'll be easy to enforce for most corporate clients. I work in a profit-driven corporation that's now owned by a private equity firm. We try all sorts of things to make money. But there's no way we'd deploy a legally que

I've lived in Washington DC for 20 years and I never realized why the bus stops here are concrete! Thank you for this.

I recently hired for a tech position on my team. I ended up hiring an amazing internal applicant. I consider myself lucky. The hiring process has gotten awful on both sides in recent years.

If you do crime, can you be arrested by the local police? "I have diplomatic immunity! Also I live on a reservation with their own police force. So no." It's pretty clear that's what the amendment means. The only ambiguo

I'll point out how many cases are decided unanimously. It's quite rare for a case to be decided 6-3 on ideological lines.

What change would you suggest? A minimum period of time in the country before birthright citizenship applies? What about people who enter the United States illegally and then have a child twenty years later? What about my ancestors, who ent

The United States is different from 95% of countries. We're the place you are supposed to flee to when those other countries oppress you. That's just not the history of a place like Italy or Japan. My great great grandparents left

This is real. If your app breaks because your AWS region crashed, the CEO probably isn't going to blame you. If you have similar uptime but the crashes are due to you picking a cheaper setup, you might be in more trouble.

I wonder if there's a single trainer in Kenya who is responsible for some of the conventions we see so often. Maybe (s)he just really likes full stops and used them in all of the training examples.

I'm not excusing Altman's many many lies, but it is worth noting how many algorithmic advances in the past 20 years were made with relatively little computing power. Think of things like xgboost (2016). A modest computer can run a

US law is more murky if they are responding to a perceived emergency. That can give probable cause. Imagine someone calls 911 due to smoke coming out of the neighbor's house. Clearly the drone can legally use IR to look for fire in the

Nicely done! When I started moving up from being an individual contributor to corporate management years ago, the brass would casually say things like "P&L" or "EDITDA" and I had no idea what they meant. I read textb

Well said. There are so many better companies out there. It reminds me of Microstrategy before their Bitcoin madness started... why would anyone use it?

I remember when Salesforce was a true innovator. I attended a Salesforce conference the other day. Sounds like they're all-in on their "agentic" vision. I miss when the Salesforce conferences were tailored to nerds like me an

I still had trouble setting up C on my home PC when I was a teenager. I read The C Programming Language and really enjoyed it but couldn't figure out how to get the code to run at home. I went to the local community college and took an

I write a lot of R and I love fonts that convert <- and |> into a single character. It's definitely a preference, but it matches how my brain thinks about the code.

The novel Red Team Blues involves a similar plot with a crypto token that's supposed to be immutable. It's pretty entertaining.

For a business, the second question is what your competition is going to do. If you have a monopoly over something, you can reap the rewards. But if you're in a space with lots of competition, you might not end up with any better profi

I disagree strongly with your broader point. We now have the technology to sort through the minutia of the past and learn deep things. Here's one tiny example. I was able to find out where one of my ancestors lived because someone sent

Preserving the past is how we learn, adapt, and grow. I got into family history fifteen years ago. As a history buff, it was a fun hobby. I even put together family trees for several friends. When I read old newspapers, it's incredible

The rise of low/no fee brokers is a fantastic advancement for the reasons you cite. Robinhood gets grief because it tries to drive people to trade often and take riskier bets when the long-known wisdom is that accumulating wealth requi

I assure you that poor people have always been focused on money. Every time the rent is due, they are very aware. It's the wealthier folks who have historically had the privilege of being Bogleheads and ignore having to think about the

How dare you impugn the mystical powers of the wisdom of the crowd. Why would anybody fix outcomes? Wait a minute, you can bet on pro wrestling? OK I'm out of ideas. https://www.betus.com.pa/sportsbook/entertainmen

I don't think Nash envisioned politicians and their aides being able to profit from making decisions. Do you launch an attack on Eastasia? Well the market right now says there's a 40% chance, so I guess it's a good idea to gr

Good point. France uses the same postal code layout as the United States. At one job where a data feed only had Zip for userlocation, we would look for suspiciously large numbers of people from Idaho because they have an overlap with the nu
