My pet theory is that he's just one of the myriad of early developers who made hundreds of millions from crypto and keep relatively private. At that point he'd have nothing to gain and a lot to lose by revealing himself.

NYC fully meets the definition of walkable.

> My assumption that it's always been this way, was wrong. On the other side, it's interesting to note that beautiful walkable bikeable Amsterdam was a traffic and cars hellhole up until the 70s. Nothing has to be permanent.

An AI would be trained on human decisions, and unless we're careful it can easily have the same biases as human decision making.

This happened at Blue Apron while I worked there as well and caused a big morale hit. The company was preventing engineers from selling shares while simultaneously enabling founders to sell.

What do ZKPs add to this? You're just talking about a database that companies can't interfere with, right?

Monolith refers mostly to the code, not the distribution of app servers. There's one app (a monolith) served multiple times.

In both cases, something is dependent on your body to live. Are you morally required to sacrifice your body for theirs? That has nothing to do with convenience. If anything is adding "pseudo-moralism" to the discussion, it's

Obviously air conditioning is really useful in a hot climate. As someone who does a lot of moving between places with/without it, it's interesting to see how overused it can be in much of the US. Your office in the northeast does

IIRC the hard part with this thing is the lenses. I wonder how hard it would be for astronauts to swap an SSD if it came to that.

This makes me think of Anthony Bourdain, the man who had probably the most envied job in the world, but still suffered from depression and took his own life. A perfect job does not prevent or cure depression.

Typically no, because higher energy collisions exist naturally with cosmic particles, so we would have probably observed some of these stable particles by now. But in practice they could be rare and hard to detect.

I watched it as a child and I wanted to kill bugs too. Then I watched it again as an adult and realized “holy shit, I would have been a fascist. Like all people, I too have that capacity.” It was a seriously enlightening moment. A satire su

My guess is that exercise implies that you're doing something important (fighting, fleeing, etc), and it is not the time to be distracted by hunger.

On the contrary, sex workers would be a lot safer if they were able to turn to the police without fear of arrest. Decriminalizing their work makes them safer.

Sure, but it's still more equal if both sexes send the same number of likes rather than having 2x as many men swipe 10x as many times. And maybe women get more swipes per day, I have no idea.

It also restricts the number of men likes, which means a more equal number of likes are given out between the sexes. In addition, the limited number forces both sexes to be selective, rather than just the women.

Some dating apps are better than others, and most (but not Tinder) have a mechanism to prevent this kind of thing. Hinge, for example, only shows you a limited set of people per day, and it filters those based on who it thinks you like who

Yup. A lot, relatively. "On Thursday, NHTSA said it had discovered in 16 separate instances when this occurred that Autopilot “aborted vehicle control less than one second prior to the first impact,” suggesting the driver was not prepa

What's your alternative? Tesla has also faced criticism for turning off autopilot less than a second before the crash, and then claiming that because the car was not on autopilot it was driver error. "On Thursday, NHTSA said it ha

Well if your coin says "no recession" on one side and "recession" on the other, you'd get 50/50.

Only if the probability of the true positive is 50%. If I had a model that told me with 50% certainty that a black swan event was about to occur, that would be pretty valuable.

There are so many things we could do though. At least make it so I can easily rotate my SSN if it gets leaked. Currently I'm stuck with a SSN that gets used for fraud every once in a while. While it can be changed, it isn't easy.

Similarly, I got Cs in math in middle school and early highschool. Once I got to calculus something clicked. Now I have a degree in physics and am pursuing a graduate degree in applied mathematics. The math I do now is nothing like the mat
