Unless you think investing in yourself is better than investing in other companies.

I think this pretty clearly wouldn't scale very well unless you have incredibly good hiring practices, and complete testing coverage. But it is interesting that it works for them at their scale.

When you segment based on age and sex you are dividing up people based on their starting conditions - people who were born in the same year, and with the same sex, compete to see who is the best. When you divide based on the attributes that

Boxers and wrestlers are also separated based on sex, because even at the same weight males will dominate.

If you look at the number of excess deaths, it is abundantly clear that COVID deaths were underreported, not overreported. There is no reasonable debate around that issue.

You are making up claims, it is incredibly obvious if you spend even a little bit of time looking at the data that deaths and infections were underreported, not overreported. Stop spreading blatant misinformation. Of course in some cases de

Taxpayers are ultimately paying for this, so yes something is being done to everyone who pays taxes in California. And if someone made every effort to pay rent, and another person with the same income did not pay rent, that second person wi

Moving manufacturing jobs to poorer countries provided more jobs, and generally better jobs, than they had before. So I don't think characterizing it as stealing is really fair. I'm sure in many cases companies should be providing

I feel like I generally am reasonably productive for 40 hours. Of course I'm not constantly super focused, but if I were to work fewer hours I would get less done. Every once in a while you have a meeting that isn't totally necess

Since this uses reaction wheels, if you consistently push it in the same direction isn't it possible for the wheels to hit their max velocity and then be unable to correct anymore? In the video at least for the 2d version, it looks lik

Telling teachers what they are allowed to teach doesn't really go against free speech. I can talk about how I think the earth is flat for as long as I want, but if I start teaching that to students I'm going to get fired (hopefull

Magazines do, manufacturers generally don't.

It is so sad to me that the best electric drivetrain in the world is in a car where they have made pretty much every decision with the goal of taking away from the drivers experience. I don't want the car to drive for me. I don't

Many magazines use rollout and different surfaces. But pretty much every car manufacturer displays their acceleration numbers without excluding rollout or using a prepped surface. The dodge deamon is the exception here because it is designe

At least in my university, the failure rate for STEM programs is much higher than non-STEM, despite having a higher entrance average requirement. So that is some evidence for those programs being more difficult.

It also encourages them to invest their money. The choice isn't either spend money on over-consumerism or lose it, the choice is either spend it or invest it so someone else can allocate more resources to what they are doing.

Unless they are requiring everyone to use 2FA, isn't that objectively worse than having the option of SMS 2FA? I'm sure there are a significant number of people who would just switch back to using a password instead of SMS 2FA rat

Interesting, so basically no transactions are illegitimate they are just wiping out old ones by publishing a longer chain? In that case, could you protect yourself against an x hour attack by waiting x hours to consider a transaction confir

The legitimate fork will take over because honest nodes will reject the illegitimate one because it contains double-spends. So as long as the majority of nodes are honest it will eventually take over.

Would a 1 hour attack have any long-term effect though? Once the attack stops, won't the legitimate chain catch up to and surpass the one that contains the false transactions? If the only effect of the attack is to have some false tran

Sure if you are super motivated you can bike in any weather. But for 95% of people they will only be willing to bike if it is nice out. The average person is not going to go out and buy a fat bike or spiked tires for the winter. And they pr

Actually it looks like the calculation goes the opposite direction, basically disposable income is calculated by adding your income in dollars to other benefits you get (healthcare, food stamps, etc.), and subtracting taxes. So that is kind

Median disposable income (after healthcare, taxes, housing, etc.) in the US is the highest in the world aside from Norway I believe.

I suspect the vast majority of people on HN are in the top 1% globally. People don't realise how high incomes in the US are relative to the rest of the world.

I think it is pretty lame to try and say it is a mental health issue to talk to the media after a loss. You get paid millions of dollars to play sports, talking to the media is a part of that. I'm not saying that rich people can never

Normally I'm not a huge fan of throwing in new laws but I do think it would be reasonable to legislate that unsubscribing from a service must be as easy as subscribing. If we are going to give companies the legal ability to auto-charge

Wasn't Lee reported as asking around the neighborhood for tools immediately before the person was murdered? Someone else's DNA being on the murder weapon isn't particularly surprising if that weapon wasn't owned by Lee.
