As we used to say when we were kids, if your grandmother had wheels she would be a bus. Yes, Israel's democracy is under threat, very much fueled by those same external forces impact other western countries, social media and such. The

You got this all wrong. First of all Netanyahu is not a war criminal. He has not been convicted of any war crimes. Even if for a microsecond we entertain the idea that the ICC has any relationship to justice or morality then people are stil

I read the Art of Electronics as a beginner. A university educated EE should have had pretty much everything covered in their studies so it would be surprising to me that would be their reference of choice. I still think the convenience of

That's not what I said. There are probably plenty of situations (more standard) where doctors do a good job. The doctors also have the benefit of performing a physical exam, ordering various tests etc. so they have more data. My point

The unfortunate reality is that when you have a doctor you're also rolling the dice. I've had been misdiagnosed a few times in my life. These misdiagnosis were very disruptive but luckily not life threatening.

What is exciting enough for you that you'll be able to sustain your interest? There's a lot of learning. I'm going to maybe diverge from some advice and say try and start with hardware connected to your laptop. That's ho

Such fun for you and the author! I've never played the original game but now I wanna!

The author has spent a lot of time on this as well. I can see both sides. From the author's perspective their focus is their product/system. Any extra time they spend is not contributing to that. They've already spent a fair

It's not a zero sum game. We could build hospitals and data centers. The reason we are not building hospitals or parks or machine shops have nothing to do with AI. We weren't building them 2 years ago either.

Well, I made my predictions. Let's come back in a few years. Netscape didn't attack Microsoft's business software, operating systems or other pieces of their offerings. Google also didn't seriously attack Microsoft'

It's true the big company products have been terrible but they also enjoyed a moat that made it harder for competitors to enter. With this moat reduced I think you'll find this approach doesn't work any more. The smaller comp

Even if the requirements are indeed fixed your understanding of the problem domain evolves.

But software is in fact not very malleable at all. It's true the medium supports change, it's just a bunch of bits, but change is actually hard and expensive, perhaps more than other mediums.

People lost money on paper. The loss turns real when they try to sell their assets. Prices can drop on very low volumes. All that prices tell us is what someone agreed to buy and sell at a given point in time. Some (most?) sellers are likel

But the issues here were systemic and there was worry of contagion. I guess a question would be whether the people who made the decision had conflicts of interest that impacted those decisions. So this argument doesn't justify any co

We don't know what the other options look like. A broader collapse of the economy, runs on banks? If the government stayed out then the outcome could have been worse for the average taxpayer. I do agree it looks bad if bankers can take

It's more than just supply and demand. It's the price discovery. So I guess you can say supply and demand curves . The curves change with the market psychology and with future expectations. Most institutional investors are not go

This only works assuming somebody cares what works and what doesn't. Often nobody does. Most organizations do not tend to reward the good decision that made everything easy. They reward things that look hard and projects that take fore

Last I checked the Germans weren't invaded before WW-II and had their civilians massacred and abducted. The European Jews are absolutely the Jewish people from the Torah. This is proven by DNA tests and is also a result of the Jewish p

I'm not sure "everyone knows" applies here. This is one of these situations where the language is intentionally confusing. Because most people when they hear about laws have certain assumptions about what those are and how th

Ofcourse people break laws. But they are enforceable and the authorities have absolute power to enforce them. Putin can get away doing whatever the f he wants but nobody in Canada can get away with breaking any law they want whenever they f
