I personally think its how your family and friends raised you. Some folks think people are object, some acknowledge their humanity.

But wealthy people should be defensive about it. Or at least acknowledge the fact that we have severe and increasing income disparity in America and a lot of people are suffering with anxiety and other ills because we let so many people exp

What I find so fascinating about this article is how it conveys the anxiety of being poor in America. How you're always one "bad luck" event from falling down a socio-economic peg, and recovering from that is so hard. Other

You'll never find a job that meets these requirements, but you may find a job with good co-workers, a boss who is decent and a healthy work environment. To me, that is nirvana. Just like in a marriage, there's going to be good

There's a good amount of funds who actively keep their AUM low. If they have too much money in their strategy, it will discovered and that kills the golden goose. Or, there's just not enough liquidity in the instruments traded and

We always have this debate at work. Do we build the system ourselves or do we purchase a product? On prem Prometheus or push everything to DataDog? I'm always a fan of building things myself because I like building things, but my comp

A lot of small businesses do not create financial oversight practices. I see it where I work. We're so focused on our product that nobody takes care to watch the books. No company, no matter how small, should only have one person mana

A majority of social justice is mainstream progressivism. $15/hr min wage, higher taxes on the 1%, etc. But there is a subset of the left which has gone nuts. This article is a prefect example of it. And the fringe left doesn't

This whole article reads like a Kafkaeque horror story. Such a shame that this is what parts of the social justice movement have become. I say "some parts" because it is a subset. There are lots of people in the progressive mov

Sometimes I wonder if these articles are real or from The Onion. Why would someone doing research want to integrate something that literally makes a penny (1 GRD == 0.010754 USD). The real money is in grants. Write up a good grant proposal

How hard is it to emulate an iPhone or Android so you can do this on a computer? I would think it would be a lot easier to do this with one PC instead of hundreds of tethered phones.

With the current mania about NFTs, I think the sale might recoup the whole loss to the global economy.

If this is so, my guess is that there will be a lot of well fed fish on both sides of the Suez Canal.

A ham sandwich is a battery.... Bitcoin is not a battery. Its fiat currency that uses a lot of energy to perform a fraction of the transactions that would be needed for it to be used for normal day to day transactions (filling up your gas t

Kara Swisher had a really good interview with John Matze. After listening to it, I really got a good feel for who he is and his character. But to this issue, I think a strong argument can be made that as CEO, he should have known Parler wa

Agreed. It reminds me of diamonds. They're super expensive because the DeBeers family convinced everyone it's a sign of love and marriage. They're really not that rare and can be made in a lab. Aside from industrial grinde

The point is if you want to own one, or a fraction of a Bitcoin, you have to trade USD for it. If I want to own an image of a cat with the body of a Pop-Tart flying thru space, I can just download it and have it on my desktop. I don't

At first I thought Bitcoin and crypto currencies were bunk. Totally useless compared to USD or any other national currency. Although I still believe I'm correct, I've pretty much been shown that a lot of other people disagree wit

Good article for some basic rules to keep your containers safe. That being said, I violate rule #1 all the time. If you want to have containers that launch other containers (we do that for Apache Airflow), you don't have much other ch

I agree. It's a shame that the "public square" became privately owned. Google/Twitter/Facebook/etc all have advertisers to answer to and they'll pull the plug on someone not by any fair means of measure b

I don't think there is any difference. When the Federal Reserve purchases securities in the markets, they do it by just "creating" money. I think they literally just type in a number into a computer and use those newly creat

Bitcoin is only popular because tech workers get paid a lot and have the ability to speculate, we live in a world of massive asset bubbles created by government fiscal policies and Bitcoin is excellent for buying drugs on-line. Most people
