The person who wrote this blog also wrote the very popular and famous D3 visualization library for Javascript. It also looks like this is javascript from the code.

Are you sure about this? I believe you would prefer a share value increase of $1 instead of a dividend of $1, as you are taxed on dividends as income (income tax) but stock appreciation is capital gains (lower tax than income tax). This is

you still have the issue of "junk in, junk out". Being on a block chain does absolutely nothing to ensure that the information on the chain is correct. There isn't really any reason to use a DAO for this vs a standard databas

Are they releasing the weights for download? The links to HuggingFace in the readme are giving me 404. This dataset they built on-top of "The Pile" sounds interesting - looking forward to evaluating their claim that 3-7 billion pa

It is interesting that there is no direct deposit requirement for this account. Most traditional (Truist, BofA) and competitor banks (Sofi) offer incentives to encourage direct deposit for the end users. I wonder what other strategies Apple

As someone that writes Node as main production language, I will say I am very glad to have been taught my DSA courses in Java. I think a strongly typed language like Java that also requires explicit memory management (if you restrict yourse

where did this come from? The person you are responding to didn't say anything about Soviet workers. Also, having recently visited Cuba, while workers in a Communist society may not worry about layoffs, they still need second jobs in t

what if you had wheels instead of feet? there is zero mechanism for this and tech workers have shown again and again that there is not interest in a professional union.

their entire function is to serve as a "tax-evading dividend". I fail to see why there is a difference besides on tax revenue for a buyback vs a dividend. Can you expand on why they are so bad? Would you be equally unhappy if an e

If you want to legally move the money you still need to do paperwork and pay fees, as well as the additional slippage from introducing a third currency.

Any true blockchain (Satoshi style) MUST have a token of value. Thats a huge part of Satoshi's innovation! The miners need to be "paid" in a token native to the blockchain, which is what drives the validation mechanism. Anyth
