This is why I take dogecoin more seriously than most coins out there. Most coins have some built in deflation as a scheme to make money, such as Bitcoin's limited number of coins or Ethereum's burn mechanism. If you want people to

It's for emergencies too. I've had to call 911 before. I also want to immediately know if my wife or kids are in trouble. This is not unreasonable.

Companies typically hire these people to bolster their reputation and draw in new talent. It's the same reason companies keep hiring a guy like Guido van Rossum, even if they don't really care how productive he is.

Usually those bugs have such a large surface area that you can google and find a bunch of other people with the exact same issue. The issue are the folks who blame it without having concrete proof of that being the actual cause. "The R

Between regenerative braking and the fact that EVs don't need transmissions (which stop and go traffic is especially hard on), it does seem like a no brainer.

What if better nutrition has allowed for better selection of taller genes? Back when everyone was more nutrient deficient and had stunted growth, I imagine it would be much harder to select for a suppressed trait.

Their model is that you are assumed to be right, and when you're not, you save face by still acting like you're right. They're in too deep and they can't admit their policy is wrong since it admits that the west's a

The biggest issue in academia is the push for the number of papers you publish. You see it especially in Machine Learning, where garbage papers are continuously released with very biased tuning to "show how we beat a superior model&quo

In university studying engineering, it wasn't important that I remembered how to manually calculate all the different types of integrals, I had my calculator to do that (thank goodness for the Ti-89 Titanium), I only needed to make sur

The issue is that your commit still has to do something useful and have the proper colliding hash, which dramatically increases the effective collision complexity for something that is already nearly impossible to occur. Sure you could ha

Reminds me of multithreading. If a race condition is possible, you have to assume it will happen, especially because you can never predict what weird edge cases will trigger it to happen more than you'd expect.

Agreed. A 25gbps download will fill an 8TB HDD in 47 minutes, so how much are you going to actually utilize that full bandwidth? Not that any webhost will ever give you even remotely that much bandwidth. I'm on 1gbps fiber and I'v

Google is one of the few companies that can get away with this due to the overwhelming backlog of talent they have lining up for jobs. I doubt they lose much from this process, but at a lesser company it would certainly have a far more dama

Twitter facilitates knowledge transfer and communication. I'd argue they are one of the largest sources for communication on the internet, and with 200 million visitors every day, I'd say they are doing what they're supposed

That sounds like a red flag for a poor remote work culture. Our company saw improvements in productivity going full remote.

I imagine that test preparation is far more accessible when you have well funded schools and parents who can cover any additional tutoring/preparation. For me the game changer was community college, it gave me a second chance at a pric

To add to that, AWS will gladly give you as much human support as you want. Google support (or lack of) scares the shit out of me.

I think you're forgetting how small Russia is. They're on par GDP-wise with Australia or Brazil (equivalent to Ohio and Pennsylvania together). Sure, not negligible, but at the same time not enough to revolutionize the world finan

Treat your slack messages as a queue, something asynchronous you respond to when you are free. If management forces you to immediately respond to every slack message, then you have a dysfunctional culture that will of course clash with WFH.

To note, even eggs and lard have large amounts of Linoleic acid, and I'm pretty sure lard and eggs have existed in the human diet for as long as chickens and pigs as livestock have existed.

Most folks can get away with logistic or linear regression. A tiny portion of those might need to move to random forest. And an even tinier portion may justify deep neural networks. The vast majority of ML is not deep learning, nor is it ne
