The expensive part is the capacity per dollar. It's not cloud vs on prem. The real value play is colocation. Imagine operational costs at $100/mo for a terabyte of RAM and 32 cores on unmetered bandwidth compared to the equivalent

I see your point. I still disagree and have more counterpoints. I also don't appreciate that perspective, nor do I believe I'll change your opinion on it, so I'll stop here.

That's not true. We can both be better if I work for you and you pay me right. It's not a negative sum game and can be positive and equal value for both. The value of your cash to me and my product for you.

I was always held back by the identity politics of age. Too smart in classes. To tall and lanky at sports. Growing up was a horrible time for me. Now, thankfully, decades later I excel at everything.

I don't believe the grass is always greener on the other side. In fact, many people agree with me that the grass on my side is way greener. It takes effort on my part to control envy from others. I actively suppress it.

I made exactly the same choice after the dot com boom. I have a wonderful rich life with less money but very high quality of life and more than anything, freewill, compared to peers. Highly recommended. The most valuable things to me are lo

None of the three are "just outside regulation." They are so far outside it they invest millions lobbying to change the laws so their illegal activity is no longer considered such.

Would a group of ten people with an iq each of 40 get smarter? That kind of math led to the greatest financial collapse in world history.

This is the sixth time the carbon cycle has extincted life on earth. Why will this one be different? It's as inevitable as the water cycle or the citric cycle. > one estimate published in 2004 expected that some 90% of the currently

The professional class has contributed the most to the wealth gap. We blame the wealthy, but it's not they who are performing the task of wealth extraction. The banks owners don't sign mortgages or repossess homes. The shareholder

That's exactly my point earlier. It actually costs relatively more today to get a similar sized building as that high quality art deco building of yesteryear, while the quality has simultaneously declined. Buildings like that aren&#x27

Only due to wider adoption and commoditization of the skill set. It well always be hard to find the best. Home builders once milled their own lumber until the industry commodified the process. Homes didn't get cheaper but the corporati

Far too many people apparently. New phones every year or more often. Apple products built with the intention to prevent their repair. I was reflecting on the increasing gap recently between price and quality. If inflation were the cause of

It's not a genetic standard, it's a phenotypic advantage. Taller humans are preferred by other humans and have a physical advantage over the competition so they are more likely to survive as the fittest.

That is different because down syndrome is not hereditary. It's caused when chromosomes don't properly separate due their tangling caused by aging of egg cells. Plus, if it were a hereditary genetic condition, abortion would elimi

I think enforcing any sort of eugenic policies would also be unethical including the forced disclosure of the medical procedures we are discussing. It's hard for me to believe something is wrong and shouldn't be done while simulta

My partner and I got dna tests before beginning on the path of procreation. We were making a decision that affected a human being that would have no input on its coming into existence. We owe it to a child we would come to respect and love

Best to refrain from flippant sarcasm when dealing with such sensitive matters, especially online.

I believe the opposite is true. It would promote more of the genes in society, because dwarfism is sexually selected against. Thus more children would be born with dwarfism.

Height is a predictor of evolutionary viability in humans. Altering the physical manifestation of any genotype, does affect both one's mate and potential offspring. Therefore it is deception and thus, imo, unethical. I believe this is

That is not the mathematicians approach. https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2014/05/15/312537965/h... Most people commit to one person eventually so you'll need to make a choice.

It depends on several factors including the size of the down payment and market conditions. If the market declines it could be very bad for net worth.
