I wonder what fraction of consumption people who’ve been lost their income during the crisis is. If 20% of the workforce is laid off, does that mean consumption will go down 20%? Is the salary/spending power of the group who were laid

Buzzfeed News has some very high quality journalism. Separate division from their entertainment division, I wouldn’t dismiss this out of hand.

I think we’ve known for a while that the stock market is not the economy. My two cents: 1) Uncertainty is anathema to markets. At the beginning of the crisis, there was a ton of uncertainty about how the disease would progress, what it’s im

I don’t know, is it that impractical for a group of conspirators to meet in person a single time, exchange a bunch of 1TB hard drives with identical one-time pads, and then conduct their business accordingly? Surely that’s enough for a subs

I suspect that whatever replaces Linux will probably involve a paradigm shift at the lowest level. Perhaps capability-based IPC, perhaps seamlessly integrating local and networked nodes, etc. It’s going to take major major improvements to m

While true, I wonder what fraction of those automobiles are used to get into the areas below Central Park on a regular basis. I've always had a romantic idea of making all the surface streets below 96th street between 2nd Ave and 10th

Title is misleading, it’s still a desktop app but will probably use electron (so “technically” a web app, I suppose) but title implies a fundamental change in functionality/usability on Mac which is not happening.

It’s the intention. Intention is really important in the US legal system; killing someone on purpose is murder but by accident is manslaughter, even if the result is the same. Same goes for finance; failing to do something you intended to d

In a lot of ways, the field has already come to this conclusion. At NeurIPS this year some of the biggest topics in Deep RL were model-based RL and meta-learning for RL, both of which aim to learn a generalized representation of an environ

Just a minor technicality, it’s not that Bob travelled faster than the speed of light, it’s that the distance between you and Bob increased faster than the speed of light. Nothing can travel FTL through space, but space itself can be made s

You’d probably lose a lot of the advantages because you lose the naturally extremely effective radiation shielding of the earths magnetic field and atmosphere.

It's almost certainly the carriers imposing this restriction. The reason these features took so long is because, as they did for SMS, every single carrier across the world has to get on board with this. , so I'm sure that's t

From what I have heard, the toolchain story is being worked on heavily. There are some legacy reasons why toolchains were designed the way they were (mostly due to the fact that Google essentially only uses one compiler for each language, a

This is a simplistic view. When push comes to shove, companies don't behave with political principles. Apple is not going to throw away access to 1/6 of world's population over a political dispute. It's unrealistic to ex

The major difference here is the economies of scale. When you have a centralized facility, you can afford to invest in expensive, high-throughput machinery because you make up for those investments with volume. However, centralizing necessi

At FAANG companies, it's not unheard of for new SWE grads to command $200k+ starting compensation. For someone with 5 years experience at the company it would actually be unusual for them to make less than $200k, in the US at least. Th

This seems to be a fairly obvious finding, doesn’t it? Any change in business practices that gives you a competitive advantage gives you, well, a competitive advantage! The study seems to say: if your company automates jobs away, you’ll act

This is a policy problem. The benefits of automation should be enjoyed by everyone in society, not just those with capital.

The coverage and accuracy of the information provided by the MTA APIs is poor, in my experience. Additionally it doesn’t take into account crowding or any of the other quality-of-trip components (i.e. closed elevators, altered service, etc.
