I disagree with this - plenty of people treat stock as just wanting a share of profits/ownership and not as value speculation. That said, I do think we should be making rules that devalue speculation, perhaps turn-based trading since t

So I will admit the idea of "maybe you could make some guesses about the future and if you're right it's worth something" sounds appealing - like if I guessed people would get perfect nutrition by IV and not bother with

I mean I get how there are benefits to society from crop futures and insurance. I don't get how there are from an election prediction.

This reminds me of how people who worked for Facebook despite it being obvious that nobody with moral fiber should work for Facebook are more listened to when criticizing Facebook than people who realized the obvious to begin with. It'

My fear has never been rebasing itself, but that I make some kind of mistake with a random change conflict and don't notice it because it's not tested for directly. But I'm also not sure if that's categorically a git fea

I wonder if this works better on phones? From part 2 on it seemed like normal scroll to me. It presented some things I didn't know - I thought all H1Bs had to be advertised to US applicants, but it was just done in places nobody sees a

I think this is all true, but that unlike with Moore's law and improved PC tooling and capabilities, we also have essentially existing biological evidence that there should be a way to create much better intelligent systems in terms of

This is an appealing price point for the US market for what it is. I suspect outside of the US you'd need to be a little cheaper still, I hear there are various kinds of trucks under $10k in India for example, though I really have no i

Some of this seems worth adopting. My personal hand already has some modifications to traditional school cursive and I've never liked certain letters maybe because of being left handed.

Is this related to the post where someone copied a UI and said as long as they changed 3% it's fine or totally unrelated?

I think technology can actually solve a lot more things than it has, the problem is that foundational problem solving does not make a unicorn startup with earthshaking economies of scale in most cases, and especially so if there's a ph

Those are both on the list of words I thought should have been in a category or two lower because I consider them both sufficiently widely used.

It is incorrect.

Yeah, that one seems inaccurate to me without reference to a unit of land or some other fixed input.

Some of the definitions offered are slightly short of what I expect. Like for "Obsequious" it offers "obedient to an excessive or servile degree" which isn't wrong, but it misses the expression of a sort of noisy ea

Musk is kind of fascinating. On one hand SpaceX and Starlink are businesses that it's practically embarrassing that seemingly nobody else even tried to build. You look into it and look at Bezos and Blue Origin and wonder if the markets

TBH this sounds harder to parse than I expected as there are various situations where rephrasing things is acceptable. I think historically allusion and rephrase, particularly of common and well known things, without citation I think was mu

Even as a solo dev there's generally been a yawning gap between k8s and manual infra that nothing has ever filled that well and it's part of why things like Heroku were so popular for a while.

Getting loans seems definitionally and literally very much not something that involves earning. "Earning" is a subtle word with a variety of usages. One usage is limited to wages or return on labor or effort, and in that sense can

PG seems be becoming more and more disingenuous. People using the word "earn" almost always mean "you can't get this from wages." This doesn't mean that the effect of growth isn't real - almost any busines

In general there aren't many great couch keyboards. FN keys aside, some keyboards have dedicated power, sleep, or other keys that are just annoying and dangerous for a couch keyboard.

So there are two issues: (c) shouldn't be able to sell without the restriction, and (b) knowing of the restriction made decisions in good faith believing it would be followed and hence have been harmed by it not being followed, no? If

Yeah, there's no point to deed restrictions if the average person doesn't have standing to do anything about them.

by Glyptodon 4mo ago
So deed restrictions are unenforceable then?

I don't get the phone number thing - why is needing a $20 burner phone to post on a forum or blog a positive?

Even within a single state and area of the US there are often many different groups living in completely different ways almost unaware of each other.

I thought people fantasized about choebol revenge stories and romance... Never realized Korea had any kind of "futuristic" reputation.

Motorcycles are somewhat like this - they're both more dangerous than cars in terms of whether you might get into an accident of any sort. But however bad they are in that sense is amplified by how many people use them like utter idiot

The thing is there's such a breadth of circumstances and behaviors involved that pigeonholing it under one giant banner is questionable. Like the people who leave loaded guns in random drawers around their houses are doing something ve
