Or--they could juat stop taxing people who dont live there. More countries should oearn from this. Any country can decide to tax citizens. And who is a citizen? Well, it's determined by that nation's laws. Why should citizenship o

I was astounded at GPT 3. Chat GPT is on another plane. It's so incredible, that I can hardly parse words for it. It's as if an alien civilization landed and gave us teleportation technology. I think it's fair to say that HAL

I'm all for this, but just to give you an example: I know someone who read a web forum. People wanted an ad free paid version for years, so he eventually added it at a cost of $15 per year. Most users balked at the price. 'Why did

So the author complains that the services aren't letting users speak, while also complaining about the types of speech that the services brought? The lack of self awareness is astounding.

This has not been my experience. But since this report, our entire industry has been flipped. It used to be that Amazon was like a gateway job. People referred to their time at Amazon like prison sentences. But now many people are just hidi

Is the 'return since' the return of holding the stock? Or it the return, given you went in the direction Cramer recommended? And if so, is there a difference between 'hold' and 'bullish'?

Oh boo hoo. He had affairs and yelled and was a shitty boss. These Hollywood types have no idea what it's like in the real world where bosses are mean. Where you need to work a shit job to make sure your family is fed. Turns out slut s

Mental health is filled with poor incentives. Pilots are an extreme, but not unusual case. I think there is a confluence of factors: professionals are incentived to be over cautious, even to the extent that it's unhelpful. Most of the

I tend to agree, we need another word for 'tricky or misleading problem'.

Okay, so 2 things: - apparently the 'absolute rotational inertia' is still an unsolved problem in physics. This is quite surprising for something so elementary. I personally never understood it, but thought that was just my own la

It's not the best paying job, but I would take this in a millisecond if I was qualified.

This sounds like a dream job. Why not advertise the puzzle too? Isn't the point to get it solved?

I think they missed a main factor: lag compensation inproved greatly. The old Quake style games often had very naive networking. Whereas now, I seldom notice the network even exists. It's not that lag has changed much--contrary to the

I have almost no idea what is compelling about these. I feel like I am reading another language. A man dancing poorly. A woman riding a train? What's so compelling? I guess i am finally middle aged.

Likewise, most westerners know that the war was mostly between Germany and Soviet Union. The other theatres were conparitively small. Americans may have given their steel, but Soviets gave their blood.

It seems the link U MN research is about setting specific and measurable goals. Seems the thrust is about giving ownership and responsibility. 'More work' is a but simplistic. Also, Google has been paying below average for a while

I think Musk is a master of tapping into public sentiment. Griping about the uselessness of management is precisely the kind of folk wisdom that gets passed around. It's fun to divide the world into do-ers and managers, both because it

The thrust is that Hoare's statement has been misapplied (I agree!) but even moreso: just because someone said it, and someone famous repeats it, does not mean it's true. The statement is really a bit of a tautology: what is &#x27

Clearly an exaggeration, but anyone have real numbers? I know it's nice to gripe about management being dumb, but my managers at Facebook and Amazon were the opposite. I often ran into managers who, after a 10 minute discussion would m

It's very funny. I don't think it's true. Just a bit too cynical. Good people really do get promoted.

I think we agree it's unlikely, but best to prepare for what they can do, and not what we expect then to do.

I am a big Netflix fan (subbed since 2003) but I am concerned about their future since 2017 or so. The reality is that streaming is becoming a commodity technology. What was cutting edge in 2007 and new in 2010 just isn't very differen

Not sure i really get it. So we used to have react/vue/whatever. You click button, and the front end computes the new DOM. No server needed. Then, we decide to use htmx, where the server actually computes the new DOM elements, and

There's a genre of explaining Russia that is popular this year. Lets call it Kotkinism. We want to understand it, but we don't. We either admit we don't understand their motivations, or we conjure justifications that make sen

Even it's opponents, underestimated the cost. We knew it would never be $10 billion. It's rare that a boondoggle is such a doggle that even the opponents underestimated how much of a budget overrun it would be. https://
