Seems like a bit disproportionate reaction. Most of YouTube's value is in the videos.. not the dislike counter. Help me understand the trade-off here...

awesome - bookmarked! small bug: go to page 2 of some search results and enter a different search term. You'll stay on page 2 and if there are not enough results to fill page 2, it will just be blank.

Really bad advice. Risk has a time-dimension. If you want to invest in triple leveraged funds, do so on a very short time-scale. ie a few days. On a longer time-frame, months, years, these funds trend towards zero. There are a lot of articl

What about compression for numeric-type columns? When will PostgreSQL have full table compression for row-oriented tables? When will PostgreSQL support column-oriented tables? PostgreSQL is amazing - but these 2 missing pieces create quite

This is somewhat the point of "title insurance" in the US. In this case the buyer would be protected since technically the real owner never actually sold the property.

Just a thought experiment: but could we have designed better protocols to not need companies like Google (search) and Facebook (social network)... For example: a public index service (akin to DNS) where all pages upload all hyperlinks they

There's a lot to unpack in your comments. First off, I don't think a typical investment thesis is: this thing will be less affordable in the future. People invest for many other reasons other than simply capital appreciation. With

Having worked on a trading floor: noise is all around you: whether its people shouting at each other or the non-stop drone of CNBC in the background. I can say that the former was always very distracting but the latter was always welcome an

Is this how evolution works? The article implies a cause and effect. But i always thought genetic variation was random and if that variation conferred some advantage in the world, it would dominate over many 1000s of years. Also, i imagine

Incredible move today in $TSLA. I believe Apple was the first trillion-$ US-listed company and made it in August 2018 - 38 years after its listing. TSLA accomplished the same feat in 11 years... That obviously says something about TSLA... b

People often claim to "find" new market factors - but in reality they're just re-hashes of some other very well known and mathematically defined factor. I think in this case, its just called "momentum". Sentiment an

Its really tough being a comedian. Generally, in society there are lines drawn over which you must not cross. Comedians typically get to push those boundaries under the guise of comedy or free-thinking or equal-opportunity racism or bigotry
