   IMHO Google was somewhat psyched out by Facebook and made the classic mistake of copying their rival. Google+ is almost an exact copy of Facebook.

   A lot of people think Rand defended capitalism as we know it, which is quite untrue. Her conception of it was something very different. She referred to the present finance industry types as the "aristocracy of pull." Not that I&#x

   A more general statement can be made: A central problem in all modern economies -- whether socialistically or capitalistically organized -- is the accumulation of monolithic stores of wealth exceeding the cognitive capacity of small groups

    What you describe is another problem: a high degree of naiveté among libertarians when it comes to the connection between economic power and political power. Large concentrations of economic power almost always proceed to purchase politic

    The rich are simply not smart enough to intelligently allocate their capital. Things like rent extraction schemes (formulaic investment patterns) and bubbles (indicative of simple herd behavior) dominate because they are easy, dumb ways to

    In other news, it's 2014 and people still use non-bounds-checked string libraries in C to deal with unvalidated and unauthenticated inputs from a network.

    I know lots of people ask this question but: what, in your opinion, drives this and why don't we see more of it in other places?

    You don't want to copy Silicon Valley, since there are many things about the Valley that suck. What you want is to become something different, and perhaps excel in slightly different niches. Take a look at other places with booming tec

    Another related danger of amphetamines: because they make you feel good, they create a dopaminergic illusion of proficiency. Whether or not they are actually improving your proficiency can be difficult to judge.

    The climate change thing is almost a red herring vis a vis fossil fuels. The supply of fossil fuels is absolutely limited. We don't know where these limits are exactly. But what we do know is that if we have no alternatives, our entire

    You also have to take time into account. Self-hosting is going to take a bit more time to coordinate, administrate, and possibly even fiddle with hardware. I'd also like to see a comparison with other cloud providers, since Amazon is r

    I get those messages too but I have monitoring running and don't actually see detectable downtime. So I guess they're brief or very selective outages.

    I've had no appreciable downtime on Digital Ocean, and have a network scattered around: NYC2, AMS1, SFO1, and now Singapore (whatever they call it). My app is low-RAM, low-CPU, but possibly high bandwidth and their stuff is ideal for t

    By default conservatives tend to assume that social differences are explained biologically while liberals assume they're explained culturally. Both are extreme and likely very wrong positions.

    I don't think anyone is arguing that males and females are identical. The problem is when the current social state of things (e.g. few women in CS) is used to make unwarranted extrapolations about what those differences are without str

    So the tragedy of the commons, obscure forms of financial fraud, bank runs, and the marketing of addictive substances are examples of non-problems?

    Kudos sir or ma'am. The same argument can be levied at racism. If you go back to the year 1000AD, it's obvious that Europeans are of vastly inferior stock. The Chinese and the Arabs were doing optics and stuff while the Europeans

    I wouldn't say it's a scam. I'd say it's the cryptocurrency equivalent of Lycos. I'm sure the cryptocurrency equivalent of Google is coming someday.
