Do you think a Philosopher's Stone might have some value, too? I think Y Combinator should look into it. Maybe an Elixir of Immortality? An automatically parallelizing compiler that works in general is one of the holy grails of compute

"OK, securities exchange, you can continue operating as long as you shut down the securities exchange." I suppose they can keep the office cafeteria open.

And the SEC is also saying "you don't get to ignore the rules just because you don't like them". Whatever the rules should be, it's clear Coinbase is on the wrong side of what they are now.

There is nothing in the law that explicitly prevents the registration of a cryptocurrency. The problem is that the people making them are not able to answer the kinds of questions the SEC asks. How many cryptocurrency companies do you know

Tesla's system can be used to achieve nothing in actual operation. It makes constant mistakes and requires an ever-vigilant human to take over in a fraction of a second when it does. There is no advantage over manual driving, let alo

We know Tesla cannot match Mercedes. We don't know whether or not Mercedes can match Tesla. Mercedes isn't reckless enough to let untrained fanboys play with defective software in two-ton vehicles on public roads.

So, in the absolute best-case scenario cherry-picked from thousands of videos, Tesla's system is capable of going twenty-five miles without making dangerous mistakes. I agree the comparison is laughable.

"Supervised" does not mean the models need babysitting; it refers to the fundamental way the systems learn. Our most successful machine learning models all require some answers to be provided to them in order to infer the rules. W

The customer base was alienated because Bud Light made one (1) custom can of beer. Not one kind of custom can, literally only one can. Strangely, Bud Light has made special cans for pride month for years now and no one much cared. Strange

Cats are ferocious predators of mice and birds and other small animals. Maybe management is helpful, but even supposedly indolent cats do a lot of hunting. They aren't good at hunting rats in particular. Rats are big and cats are scare

I wondered about this myself. Cats don't often attack rats, but rats apparently change their behavior dramatically when cats are around. Just making rats afraid to come out of hiding would surely make them less efficient scavengers and

I think the feds use a different definition of "good at the job" than you do. They are slow, but they are inexorable. They very rarely lose once they bring charges. Perhaps this should change. I can understand taking a while to de

I'm not sure. Coinbase is an American company, so the executives won't need to be extradited. There's a chance they'll actually do some prison time.

This is a pretty weird headline. Why single out one car at random, and not even the car with the most impressive discount? Even after these rebates the Model 3 is still kind of pricey. The Chevy Bolt goes for $11,500 if the customer can cla

The easiest solution is to avoid trading any futures and then ignore the CFTC as they only have jurisdiction over futures trading. This is not a new problem, nor a difficult one.

You capitalized the wrong word. The CFTC is the Commodities FUTURES Trading Commission. After all, a commodity is defined as anything traded with a futures contract (except for onions and movie tickets)! https://www.law.cornell.e

They have no obligation to give legal advice, free or otherwise. It is the job of a company to keep in compliance, not the job of the SEC to be their outside counsel. Write to your senator if you think this should change. This is all hypoth
