Wow, that’s wild. That makes for one tough game of “would you rather”!

Clever title :) One thing I don’t understand: do eels die right after reproducing? Because otherwise some should have had some visible gonads.

The sad thing is that's probably why IPv6 is never going to be a thing. Why would all major tech companies be willing to write off such expensive assets?

But it’s a super easy to read one-liner in Ruby!

But is it really? The background removal doesn't seem better than Skype's: even in their demo the hair is all messed up…

Noise reduction, background removal. Technologies that have been around for ages. But now apparently it's "with the power of AI" so it's newsworthy?

I really wonder how we’ll use that mega-accurate clock that takes like a second every gazillion years. Like the article said, GPS is great but even then you don’t need such accuracy.

Oh wow, neat explanation, thanks! For some reason I always thought laser cooling was about “cornering” atoms in between laser beams. But then apparently from your explanation it’s really only about finding the right laser color! Then you ca

You’re welcome! Also, flux. Lots of it. Buy some good one, and use tons of it. Then clean the hell out of your PCB!

Want to be nerdy and use powers-of-ten? Fine by me! But then please go all the way: $4E10!!!

You’re supposed to drag-solder those. Look it up on YouTube, it’s super easy. The hardest part is positioning the chip, but it’s actually easier than with an oven, because you can rework it if you only solder one or two pins :)

Awesome explanation, thanks! Kinda like dual-cavity injection molds I guess

Another question: why do they “engrave” the squares that are going to be discarded anyway?

I don’t get why you’re being downvoted. You’re right, a while ago that was a major headache. The good news is that it’s now much better! - Bundler makes keeping track of gems trivial - Rails defaults are explicitly version-bound. E.g. you c

Well, one could argue that they are just smarter than other people and manage to find market opportunities. Good for them I guess. But technically since it’s mostly a zero-sum game would it be wrong to consider that they use their smarts to

The double standard question is totally legitimate and a very good one! My point of view is that the trader willingly entered the market with the sole intent of trying to make a profit, whereas the other two just wanted to actually trade go

Well, a theft can be voluntary: that’s what con-artists do all the time!

Well, let’s consider a simplistic example: an obscure currency, let’s call it FAKE, that can be traded for USD. That currency is only used by people in a small island, and that island only exports clamshells and imports Big Macs. In this sc

Yeah, I understand the “when people gamble most will lose and someone will be lucky”. But the big difference I see in this case is that many legitimate businesses work with crude oil so not all of those people are gambling / willing to

I’m fine with the downvotes - I understand it can be a controversial opinion. But I’d love to get some more detailed feedback!

I really wonder if those guys really created $500M worth of “value” for the rest of the world. Because if they didn’t, it means it’s theft...

The data in there is incomplete at best. I have AT&T fiber in the US (line 3) and it's around $80, definitely NOT $39.

That page loaded instantly on my PC, even though it was served from the other side of the planet. And it actually looked pretty good. So much for the "modern" web…
