You are absolutely factually correct in your analysis, but you are completely missing how business works. Fundamentally, there is value to most businesses in being able to just buy a decent solution to a non core competency. That’s where Al

I think this is a bit unfair to SOAP. SOAP was\is a pretty stable technology that did exactly what it promised to do, without too many releases or breaking changes for about 10 years. Even today it has a good utility for the situations it i

that stood out to me too... not the monorepo really, but the fact its a monorepo of a billion lines of code. seems almost impossible to maintain when you have a dependency change at the lowest levels that affects numerous projects.If i am u

Well according to the people quoted in the article it's a textbook scenario of fed either acts aggressively or recession. That's the take away. Now the quoted folks might be wrong, or they might be right but sometimes the textbook

Honestly, my understanding is prison are supposed to be a deterrent for the free, and a rehabilitation for the imprisoned. Most prison terms are not 40-60 year virtual life sentences, so most people who go to prison will see the outside aga

I think we already do this. Its built into the fabric of the web. Not sure why we are proposing arbitrary limits and additional user opt in for this. Wether a website wants to be inefficient or has a good reason for having a lot of resource

They are literally laying off 9% of their employees. Saying that they are laying off people is not "bias", it is stating facts. The fact that Tesla is taking steps that typically are associated with "financial trouble" i

Good point and this 'logical' way of determining an object is a cube is something i wondered about as well. It should be possible, if the subject is given enough time and approaches the task from a rigorous angle, to deduce that t

The thing is, philosophy in this case was using the knowledge available and applying reasoning to drawn conclusions. While it was entirely possible that Locke's prediction would prove to be incorrect. It was not 'dumb luck' i

Serious question, Keynes was born in the late 1880 and didnt publish anything until 1900s... we had boom and bust cycles long before this. How do you explain that?

I think your point is 100% spot on. HOWEVER to be clear no one really should be investing in anything they don't truly deeply understand. There is no invest X amount of money, not understand the business, get X + Y money out... unless

your point is valid... however i think its going to get into the same feedback loop as regular movie studios. fundamentally even if you have 100 million to make 5 films, you really cant afford a 20 million dollar flop. As long as your a rat

I agree with a lot of what she is saying, but two points: 1) The basic solution outlined is 'do a lot of work'. Which is kind of a no brainer, you will learn if you do a lot of work. The tension is how do you get the most producti

What you describe is a great program for certain kids especially 'gifted' kids, but is extremely detrimental to most children in general. Most children need guidance to learn, and do not have (yet) the self discipline to just read

I think you are misunderstanding... there are multiple dimensions to 'getting-away-with-it' power. While you are correct that Microsoft is under way less legal and public image scrutiny, they also have lost the lock in that gave t
