I'm not sure I really agree with the entire concept of "going bust" in these terms. To nit pick, you don't go bust if you lose 99.97% of your money. The real point is from whereever you start 5 losees will take away 99.9

I think it’s missing the point to say it’s alt-left. In the Uk side of things it was always true r uk was left and r ukpolitics was right, and then there was a fascinating shift in various ways during election times. But either way the core

What I find kind of funny is >Writing complex software without bugs is impossible. I agree it's almost impossible to acheive bug free code (let alone unexploitable code that an adversary can experiment with) but look at crypto. Now

I think one of the things that hasn't aged well is this: > There are certainly some political questions that have definite answers, like how much a new government policy will cost. Well sure, how much a new government policy will co

>How to influence another team to use your solution instead of writing their own Yeah I'd love to figure out how you do that. 99.9% of the time that is a cultural and political problem that you aren't going to solve by being so

As much as people laud 10x engineers, the reality is that if you can make the people around you 2-3x more effective you’re likely adding the value of a 15-20x engineer without writing a line of code.

Apple's problem with claiming their 30% tax is to do with maintaining quality of the appstore is how comically small amounts of money they spend policing the appstore. At some point one of these lawsuits is going to have to establish h

Yes, I am actually surprised that Facebook decided that the response to Trump undermining the 2020 election was to ban him... until the run up to the 2024 election.

I think those of us who have been around for a while are starting to synthesize the idea of negative externalities. It's no longer good enough to say "Move fast and break things". It's "Hold on, what are you breakin

As well as this in sports like F1 the entire history of the sport has been a litany of "Let's cripple the front-runner" type of rule-making.

Not a great title. It kind of implies an assumption the lab leak is true and that the lockdowns are the biggest economic shock- which, if the lab leak were true, would be a coherent title, but is clearly not what the article is about. I act

Is this surprising? I wouldn't be surprised if the value in cloud accretes almost exclusively to the big cloud companies. Exit strategies for these kind of enterprises should primarily be "get acquired by X cloud provider".

The ad network tracks what you've been looking at but obviously can't actually access your purchases. So all the ad network knows is you've shown intent to buy a tv, not that you've bought a tv.

The question is whether it really is the right answer to invest enormous sums of money and infrastructure into enabling rich people to have electric vehicles, or does it make more sense to just... not. Don't upgrade onstreet parking, t

By intentionally being a massive arsehole they exclude people who won't tolerate arseholes so that they don't have to expose themselves to criticism from anyone with any sense of self-worth or intelligence.

This actually feeds in to why I think the article is bad. I don't think that the fire in a crowded theatre argument is an appeal to authority or rather I think there are versions of it that are and versions that aren't - but tha

To be honest, this isn’t a very good article. Take for example the fire in a crowded theatre point. The article basically just moans about the people making the argument, points out that judicial precedent has moved on since 1919, and lists

Western countries attempt to manage this through taxation and benefits. There are plenty of countries that encourage having children with tax benefits. The UK controversially introduced a limit to how much you’ll get in state support if you

I think you’re ignoring the concept of it being marginal, it’s marginal because they’re on the margin of choosing to mine or to turn up the heating. Those other activities aren’t marginal you need to cook, you need to drive, etc.

One thing I'm intrigued about is if you're raising $xm, what part of that budget goes to salary for the founder? Is it reasonable to pay yourself $10k out of that? $100k? I'm really interested to know what the expectations ar

I really don't think you're making a good argument. When a female founder says she's looking for female investors we all know the underlying reasons for that - women in the start-up space face challenges that men don't f

I think report is the wrong word here, I think it's more about expressing concern about something rather than 'report'. You don't need to mistreat someone for them to feel uncomfortable if you've published a book mi

It's very common to avoid discharging the batteries fully as it has a disproportionate affect on the life of the battery. So this update likely not only changed the rate at which the battery charged to protect it but also raised the mi
