Not only that, there is also diffusion caused by difference of concentration, which is increased by heat. And you have that concentration difference at the p-n boundaries/junctions in an IC. Though I'm not sure how much actual dam

First of all, this is a typical example of survivorship bias: look, we picked exciting tech and we've succeeded. The point of using 'boring tech' was never to state that everyone should stay away from new/exciting things

Nope. Their are humans. And (seeking) happiness is one of the most powerful motivators (if not THE most powerful one) for such beings. Also, happy people just produce better results. Especially if the way for them to achieve happiness is th

I'm pretty sure he refers to hashcash. And while you are right, PoW is not widely used in email, I think the quote just wants to say that it's used the same way as it's used with email if/when used with email. (So the cl

Indeed, depreciation (inflation) and (hopefully) being able to control it is an important feature of fiat money: this is what motivates people to invest it as opposed to just keep it under the mattress, i.e. out of the system. Economists ma

Not really. Company stocks indeed do have an intrinsic value: companies pay dividends. Now they can go bankrupt, sure, but that's an independent issue. Indeed the very fact that they can go bankrupt (in which case your stock will pro

I, like many others, have been saying this for years. Too bad I didn't see this link before, it would have helped convincing a few people in the past. Now, fortunately, it doesn't seem that much of a heresy to say that monoliths (

The fact that the ad revenue share shifted from publishers to facebook may indicate that it's not such a huge deal for them. I'd argue it actually shows that the traffic increase may not exist at all. Anecdotal, but what I see a l

I was careful enough not to say that most people are sitting in front or close to their personal laptops. I said a lot of people most of the time . (And also didn't say personal, but I guess that doesn't matter.) The point of t

Still, most of the time a lot of people will be sitting in front of or pretty close to their laptops. Having the clients available on the phone should not mean that we can't have it on the desktop as well. Though, of course, the number

I think GP meant how the fib function was written (and not why it was chosen for the measurement). The `if n == 1 or n == 0` thing hurts my eyes too.

Agreed. That's one of the things I was trying to say. (Not the attention thing, because that's, for most people, a learned deficiency for sure.) OTOH, he is probably right if you take a less extreme version of his claim: given a v

I don't see this strong dichotomy exists. At least not here, in Budapest/Hungary. Even though the city is (was?) kind of a regional party hub attracting a lot of tourists. The 2nd type definitely does exist, though even that one i

Most of the time, maybe. But it depends on what you are measuring against (even if this is just anecdotic). My guess is that your intuition comes from what you see around yourself or even in the industry in general with accomplished, succes

It's classic case of double talk. Everyone is free to interpret it as they will, he washes his hands of all this. If he really wanted to send people home, he could just have said: please go home. Or even: look, we've tried everyth
