When the bubble bursts and Bitcoin goes to zero it will take Web3, NFTs, and shitcoins with it. And people thought silicon valley was dumb during the dot-com bubble. At least those companies were real and not just a convoluted ponzi scheme.

It's kind of a pointless question when you haven't provided any details. Are you self hosting? If not, which provider? Are you using an email delivery service? Have you correctly configured DKIM and SPF? To answer your question, n

Sour grapes. These princesses won't be able to hamper growth with their poor leadership any longer. Find a job ruining another company. Twitter is about to go to the moon. When the millions of bot accounts are deleted MSM will call it

Make sure none of the companies joining the group are competitors. That can be deemed anti-competitive or even a cartel. There are some discord servers but they're a waste of time in my experience.

Crying because the person taking over is pushing for complete freedom of speech. That tells you everything you need to know about these people. You are the author and each tweet is a paragraph in your own digital book. At what point did boo

It is an excellent book, not just a TEDx talk. The concept comes from the "five whys" developed by Sakichi Toyoda at Toyota. Asking "why" five times typically reveals the root cause of a problem. If a business does not h

> If technology x is replaced by a superior technology y, then technology x naturally goes “extinct.” That is a gross simplification. Monopolies have a perverse incentive to crush superior technology that might otherwise supplant them. T

Mutation means the same thing now as it did back then. What has changed is that we now understand how it works. The concept of punctuated equilibrium was introduced in 1972. It is the leading theory based on present understanding. I'm

Darwin believed that each successive generation of a species had increasing mutations leading to a gradual divergence. Another school of thought believes that a species remains at equilibrium until some environmental stressor activates a ra

They have about $5 billion in annual revenue. Most years they lose money, hence the poor stock performance. Welcome to silicon valley.

I was initially on Tesla's side of this debacle. Innovation is good and Tesla is definitely innovating. Over time it's becoming more clear that Elon pushes for engineering marvels to happen on an unrealistic timeline. I suppose it

It's the main factor for a developer, actually. We're talking about Apple so it makes sense to discuss their products. It doesn't make sense to talk about Microsoft products.

That's a bit of a ridiculous argument. Xcode is not only closed source, it is required for publishing to the App Store. You can't modify the hardware or the software. It's a virtual prison.

I mean, you can build your own with any Mini-ITX motherboard. The only thing is you don't have the tight integration of soldered RAM, the quality slave-assembled parts, and the two years of faster speed before lowering performance for

The problem isn't your phone. The problem is you are a monkey that has been given a window into a world with an endless supply of the things that primates like. I would advise meditating for 20 minutes every day. It won't solve yo

Between this bizarre anecdote and the others out there, I'm starting to think AI is a bad idea. Remember the news that GPT-3 was telling patients to kill themselves?

The two buckets I'd put people in are those who regurgitate mainstream news and those who ignore it completely. In other words, the brainwashed and the braindead. People who read books have become outliers. Social media has destroyed p

No, because we're not a bacteria of sorts. Humans have high relative, intrinsic, and potential value. We're not at odds with the machine, we created it. It would look at you like a cute dog. The machine would likely offer you a jo

I'd argue AGI would not seek war because violence is the dumbest solution to any given problem. It is not likely that a machine of high intelligence would give you valuable information for free. It might lock away its memory using an e

This article will age like milk. The No Free Lunch argument is nonsense. The analogy of designing a super-organism that has higher fitness in every environment is absurd. That is exactly what human beings are. We completely dominate on Eart

That's right, observations were made that do not fit with our current understanding of physics (equations). That means our understanding is wrong. So instead of assuming the equations are wrong physicists invented an invisible type of

The probability of a neutral gene becoming fixed is extremely low. It requires a mutation to take a random walk from zero to gene pool saturation. Most neutral traits disappear due to genetic drift, not due to selection pressure. That said,

FWIW I never posted on Show HN because I know what assholes people are here. The app is going strong anyways so nothing of value was lost.

I was wondering the same thing. Dark matter has never been observed. Its existence is based entirely on equations.
