I think this is a great article about something that I didn't understand. However, as feedback, what separates this from top tier articles is a lack of pictures and diagrams. Just adding a few of those to illustrate the different types

I think this isn't quite as implementable as they say it is. If someone breaks into a house, steals the crypto phrase from a little old lady, and moves a house into his name/address, should he really own it? If a Blockchain contra

Probable with Realtors (or any other broker): They can value speed a lot more than you do. Getting .5% extra on something might not be worth it, when that would take up 125% of their time, and 25%*normalprofit might exceed 25% extra on one

I think people clearly want something like a Spotify or YouTube music, but for video content. You can host videos all you want on the internet, but YouTube and Spotify are popular because of it's aggregation and suggestions. I want to

If you read the article it's clear that the researchers aren't pulling out the information from the guy's thoughts, they're reading the nerve signals from him "imagining" he's writing a letter, and using M

I'm not an expert either, but the two differences that come to mind are: CDs are FDIC insured, bonds aren't. This doesn't make a big difference when we're talking government bonds, but you can lose your shirt on a regula

Do you think having different opinions, experiences, and backgrounds is something that should be left out of decision making? Can you see any value in making sure the army is diverse to make sure it still can recruit, integrate, and retain

Water resistant earbuds still don't last more than a year. I've found ~$30 wired sweat proof headphones have the best value ratio IMO. I actually could complain a crap ton about running setups. With the 'death' of mp3s a

I interviewed as a developer for a company that used outsystems. They said they had a lot of technology challenges, but were going to stick with outsystems. Their flagship app is rated less than 2.5 stars on Google Play, and needless to say

You're both right. The tradeoff you have to make: is the opportunity cost really worth it? If you're a big company and are greenfielding a new design, you either need a huge amount of buyin (eg we're going to go heads down fo

Beam still has to be in the direction of the mic, which wouldn't help if your body is blocking most of the direct waves. You get some scattering, sure, but I think ultrasonic is pretty absorbable, right?

I get the feeling, but it's worth noting that it's not just 140 characters of tweet. It's also delivering all the analytics, the content surrounding the tweet (replies, likes, etc), and is a teaser to the rest of the app. The

Lots of sunlight, but limited amounts of manufacturing and rare earth metals for solar and limited amounts of energy storage for times when solar and wind aren't available. Solar and Wind are terrific, but they're not a free lunch

This is how metabolic tests work. When you burn fat, it has a lot of carbon in it, speaking generally, after that fat is metabolized, that carbon binds with oxygen and is breathed out as C02. So you can (and people do) use grams in/gra

Dangerous is a word that doesn't actively justify trade-offs. With SaaS offerings, you're trading opex costs to save on capex costs, which can mean a really big difference in terms of opportunity costs. You also are paying for the

That's ingress though. Companies should be monitoring and worrying about egress. Edit: This won't help against a thumbdrive, but that type of thing should be also tracked.

Agile requires just in time requirements and priority setting, coupled with the ability to make small changes and iterate. If you have a "this feature needs to be delivered by X date" type of corporate culture, then you have to ma

I don't think that's true. Sure, at some point you stop producing economic value, but we don't mind people retiring at 65. What's so magical about that age? If you contribute enough productive value (as determined by the

I mean, your statement assumes a definition for "work". Reusability and maintainability are features, and for certain scopes, they may be overkill. I think this is where the really good software developers shine: You have to know

Depends on how many times you've scaled 100x already. 1 user to 100 users is 100x, 100 users to 10k users is 100x, 10k users to 1 million users is 100x. Aurora serverless autoscaling can handle a LOT, depending on the architecture and

That's a false dichotomy, because those people can go and do something else. Even if we make an assumption that it IS a zero sum game (and that there are no other jobs), then we're into a wildly different conversation around how w

I mean, I think you can make a case that calories in calories out might not make as much sense for some thinner people in that, almost regardless what they eat, they can find ways to either burn or not process the calories. I don't thi

So your math is right (I think), but the calories in food are kilocals (capital C Calories). So it's .5 Cal /cubic inch.

I'm not a huge crypo fanboy, but I think there are a ton of "killer apps" that are kinda being sorted out. Basically think of something that has a middleman in a financial transaction and remove it. Distributed Betting Market

Fairly new at this and don't work in the sector, just someone who enjoys this stuff. I think it's because if the banks have too much cash, that's expensive because it depreciates. They don't want just "mattress mone

There is something magical about the subconscious. I find this works best if you truly understand the problem, but can't quite reach the answer. For me this happens mostly when playing a musical instrument. If you understand what you w

I did fairly well in maths, and I still resonated with this. It wasn't until I was deep into university that I realized that higher level maths were a game of sorts. I enjoyed it to a point, but found myself asking "what's th

I'm undecided on this topic, but playing devil's advocate: Does the fact that this knowledge exists, and only in the hands of some of the largest (and most pervasive) tech companies in the world, make this information 'safer&
