I appreciate your honesty here. I would argue, you should appreciate your employee's honesty as well. If you have a market based salary view of the world, and an employee says they're actually worth more than what your merit&#x2F

But is this actually a problem for a company? I think most companies can only afford second rate talent with the top tier talent going to FAANG companies anyway. What most companies are really looking for is undervalued high performers. A

Black screen detection and audio cues are often used to detect commercials. With sports it should be even easier, since ads don't look like the field or court the athletes play on. Personally I think it might also be easier to convert

Yes there's lying in poker, but there's also fairness to the rules. This changes when you get two or more people at a table working together. There's lots of different strategies they can employ. Side channel communication

I don't expect people with lots of money to necessarily have the same views that I might, but it does help if they are honest about their views and actions. I don't really like Marc Andreesen / Chris Dixon these days but at

Does that include teaming together to game the system? E.g. The game of poker changes if two or three at a table are secretly working together. Counting cards in black jack is harder to detect if a there's a team behind it.

Observations: 1. Both sexes are willing to lie. 2. Some just want sex. Others want companionship. And yet a third loves getting attention. Others are looking for financial help. And criminals are looking for victims. 3. Any metric th

To be fair, gate keeping is the literal point of the interview process but I think I understand what you mean. Is it fair to set the bar higher than what it was set for you to be hired into a company? Yeah, I think so. The problem though i

I'm asking a question here that I don't know the answer to. Has anyone weaponized MRSA? Not just weaponized it for mass casualties, but able to also only target a single individual with it?

You don't have good end-to-end connectivity with NAT, right? With CG-NAT my IP address is the same one that infected computers are using, so I'm often treated like a second class citizen on the internet.

Either way, they're not coming back into the building, and Google would probably rather fight a law suit than dealing with these people personally ever again.

CG-NAT really isn't great.

NAT is broken by design. And CG-NAT can't do any kind of port forwarding on the routers. And adding more NAT is just breaking more networks. RFC 4941 is currently old enough to be taking it's SAT's and preparing itself for

So if a stock price crashes there's no one around to buy the stock, so HFT doesn't help in that scenario. They're not going to reduce the buy/ask spread. But if a stock is going up, HFT inserts themselves between the bu

United has their own mechanics. So, it wouldn't surprise me if United has no warranty except for defects from the factory, and also with a good rate on replacement parts. Otherwise it would probably be like a car. What you can't

I take offense to being labeled a bad-faith actor trying to control a narrative. It's just an argument. You either agree with me or don't. In war the economics are money and people. E.g. We could invade Iran. It might cost $30

We've had the idea of directed energy beams, but I don't know. The US likes to spend big money at small problems. And then we're surprised when Ukraine (e.g.) uses low cost tech to make big advances.

Metrics of success are going to be: Ratio of cost of defense vs attack. The US and it's allies spent X on the missiles. Iran spent Y on the attack. If the ratio of X/Y is 1k or more, then it's probably not a feasible long
