The logical implication of your reasoning is that if the U.S. were to drop 5 bombs on the people of Sudan, that killed a few dozen people, US involvement would be even more direct and therefore that would make protesting the deaths of hundr

All of this has been true for over half a century. The problem is that the direction of improvement in lives has changed. Compare today to the 90s and there’s very little reason to believe that today is better than the 90s in a developed co

This is increasingly looking like a play to prevent competition. Tesla offered a bunch of companies the ability to use their charging network which is arguably their crown jewel, especially as they struggle to put out new models of actually

Correct. And the irony is that for all the dick waving in the article (maybe it makes a point in the paid part) Texas’s grid has suffered multiple energy failures over the past decade while Northern California has been pretty stable. I work

Why should that be distasteful? Google gives us Chrome for free. Does that make it distasteful to question their decisions around using our data because they’ve made it free?

The negligence is pretty gross and pretty provable. For example, the IT security administrator simply did not install the anti virus because a professor did not want it. The claim was that this wouldn’t be a problem since the Georgia tech n

I mean look at Paris. The city’s residents emptied out. This is still ok in Europe, especially France, which have a culture of weeks long summer vacations, so it wasn’t as much of a disruption as timing the vacation right. I’m not sure how

You have to read the prospectus to know whether or not this is misleading. It’s “blue chip” but it’s also “growth”. Words which can mean anything depending on how they’re defined in the prospectus.

The financial incentives for the sunscreen industry works both ways. If all sun exposure is bad people will minimize going out and sunscreen sales would plummet (no one is wearing sun screen while sitting in their homes). So, in fact, the s

I would be very surprised if the research you’re pointing to suggests causation. I’m not saying causation doesn’t exist. But the reason why this issue is hard to resolve is precisely because causation one way or another is hard to establish

How has MS not fixed this. It seems like the kind of bug that shouldn’t ever happen in the first place (it’s such an obvious flaw) but now that they are aware, it should be priority #1 to fix.

Solutions will be implemented locally. There’s no global agency that can decree everyone use solar. If even one moderate sized o punter is able to transition successfully that will put tremendous amounts of pressure on every other country.

I never understand why the people who come up with these theories seem to believe the rest of the world doesn’t exist. If people are willing to uproot their lives to save $200k in housing, why wouldn’t they be willing to save $500k and move

The only reason this could be funny is because the software industry has found a way to excuse itself from any liability. There is no other industry where someone could cause so much damage and laugh about it. Least of all because the liabi

The argument is that Elon’s purchase of Twitter was essentially to influence the elections. I’m not sure how true that is, but it’s certainly possible and he’s definitely acting like it.

Possibly because damage due to flooding is not covered by insurance so they lack the data for that.

I don’t think Crockford will be leading the movement away from JS. But he was among the people most responsible for the movement to JS so for him to say JS has run its course is important even if he is wrong.

In this context, describing Crockford as “the inventor of JSON” is doing him a disservice. I’d argue he’s one of the key people who made JS a respectable language through “the good parts”. It’s not necessarily the specific suggestions that
