What's really insane to me is that all the walkable cities are out East and get run over by a glacier for half the year. If there's anywhere where walking and biking and taking transit should be preferred it's LA. It's b

It's called "blue crystals" in marketing jargon, after literal blue crystals and other pointless things. Anything that can be used for market differentiation or that creates a "health aura" effect can boost sales.

Ahh... so it stays a single entity until the company is large enough that having a ton of shareholders doesn't matter. That's clever.

That's not necessarily a good thing. Take VC out of the economy and you don't have much funding for innovation outside of academia, and academia fails miserably at bringing the results of research to the product / usability s

It will also likely increase the cost of insuring SpaceX launches. I'm sure it's like car insurance. Of course SpaceX is so much cheaper than their competition that it may not matter, and reuse is about to make them cheaper still.

You're correct, but unfortunately there is nothing about personal sovereignty over one's own biochemical processes in the constitution. The constitutional also permits the Federal government to enforce laws on interstate commerce,

UDP is just a thin wrapper on an IP packet that adds port and checksum. This in turn is just a thin wrapper on whatever underlying network packets you use. So UDP packets are as reliable as TCP packets in principle. TCP just hides the unrel

Browsers became OSes because existing OSes have a poor security model and a very poor application delivery model. The browser offers an alternative way to ship an app to a user without having to go through the pain and suffering of building

That's a great alternative take. I was seeing it as a conflict primarily because the world does not provide us with an infinite supply of resources or human capital. This pumping can therefore only work to the extent that it can genera

It's ideology. That would be "giving handouts" to "lazy people," etc. Oddly enough the strongest support base for this ideology is among those who would benefit from pumping the demand side the most. Many of the wea

This is why I don't think a 2001-style crash is coming. A slowdown maybe, but not too hard a landing. Since 2008 global central banks have made it abundantly clear that deflation in any major asset class will not be permitted. If it be

This is common in older C++ projects that predate good quality STL and good compilers everywhere. They should factor it out, but that would break a ton of code.

I've heard of startups, even those with more than one founder, taking out key person insurance for the company to mitigate this. It's basically a life and disability insurance policy on the founder(s).
