Read this: > "But refuting the data which is clear on this across time and many countries requires more than a good story." We all know correlation does not equal causation because we went to college. Or have read a single thre

What does this drivel even mean? What interest does the music industry specifically have against anything but "passive consumers"? It's a shallow attempt to recast people not paying for their music as some sort active citizen

I'll just mention, because it hasn't been mentioned before: this is obviously wrong... We all know that it's wrong, but saying it has some symbolic meaning, right? Because to find a counterexample you would only need a single

You acknowledge that the data is rather clear on this: education is well correlated with income: https://www.bls.gov/careeroutlook/2020/data-on-display/educa... And while I have sympathy for your story, it is

None of these snippets have the creativity required for copyright protection. It's quite something to see the community that was at some point printing decryption keys on t-shirts suddenly going for stronger interpretations than Hollyw

Good if they actually went where the data led them. Sigmund Freud famously changed his mind at some point: he had so many young female patients with stories of sexual abuse that he decided it must be a rather common fetish among young girls

There’s nothing wrong with excel (as long as you stay below the 64k limit). People use it because it works. That is almost tautologically close to whatever it is that software aspires to. Excel has gotten more people to write code than all

Not just crypto, but the whole enchilada of toxic masculinity[0]: guns, UFC, get-rich-or-die-trying prosperity gospel, “seduction techniques”, and so on. There’s even “murderedbywords” for the best-phrased contrarian put downs, a place that

I’m pretty sure the average spending of consumers on software today is far more than just a 30% increase from the times before the App Store. Realistically, the market easily tripled with its introduction. From that angle, it’s easily worth

The problem is that, effectively, it is customers making the decision to buy Apple products, but developers who have pay to get access to them. This split means the incentives don’t get to the people in power, and the mechanism breaks down.

That’s a good example of self-reinforcing stereotypes or, maybe, correlation without causation. Apple projects get a big team, launch, and then tend to languish because the team moved on to the next thing. “Business types” have little to do

I feel Wikidata has a generally sane approach to these questions.

I have no earthly idea what “narrative“ you are referring to, or what kind of FUD you expect the media to spread. The story will either just disappear because nothing really happened, or it will be about “overly cautious” vs “better safe th

So you’re criticizing them for a sequence of events that exists only in your imagination? And what do you believe needs to happen for MS to switch into “switch” mode? This change isn’t making people more dependent on GH, the number of accou

When they are "appointing each other" they are, by definition, not self-appointed. And Europol doesn't appoint anyone, nor does is assign any budgets outside its own purview. So I'm at a loss at what you're actually

Almost nobody turned if off. And, to answer your question: If your history shows hundreds of queries for Java, PHP, and Ruby, odds are your query about Perl or Crystal or Go isn't about the species or stone or game.

> Cashing out in the short-term sounds more like what these executives generally do. It only sounds like what they do because you only ever read stuff written by people who believe that without any evidence. Sundar Pichai has been with

The cases you mention involve maximizing profits by saving on costs. The theory above is that lower quality leads to an increase in revenue, and it is tenuous at best.

And that's the problem: it's an editorial stand that finds the thought offensive that any news headline is ever clicked on. So it removes anything that makes it sound "too interesting" even if it happens to also be an ac

It is quite blatantly not-even-code for “I like him”. That likability doesn’t necessarily depend on the protected classes, but often will.

Any bias in your hiring is also a needless waste of talent that you should have hired but didn’t. And that has been going on for quite a while, and hurts you, the candidate, and society as a whole. That said, I wouldn’t blank out schools an

Orchestras famously switched to behind-the-curtain auditions. As expected, it got the same sort of objections as in this thread. It’s famous for the ridiculous differences he policy change made. Women's success rates doubled overnight.

When did you last stay at an AirBnB? It might also differ by location. But the three or four bookings I had over the last four years were all apartments rented with the sole purpose to rent them out.

Last I checked, nuclear power is, indeed, dangerous. It may be a danger we have gotten good at controlling. Or we may think that. But a can of gasoline is a dangerous good even if you have a fire extinguisher pointing at it at all times. Al

...and in a Web 1 beta II world this was already done by PGP in 1991. Granted, it never achieved mainstream adoption because it's somewhat cumbersome and solves a problem people do not actually experience. Sort-of like everything block
