Calling the oldest trade in the world “late stage capitalism” seems kind of humorous. There’s nothing fundamentally new with OF, except scaling, and it’s not dead in the many places that have both legal prostitution and casual bars are ever

Though for 80-90% og cases out there you seriously don’t need k8s, and when the small internal IT dept that used to “manage” a dozen virtual machines starts talking about “need to keep up with the times and use new tech” what they are reall

There are products and studies now with Liraglutide and semaglutide, which show consistent and maintainable weight loss, but neither has been on the market for 5 years yet afaik, and the longest study only ran for 2 yearsit seems. Though it

It’s not. Mathematica is extremely flexible yes, but it’s not hindering optimization. You can literally parallelize code and compile to c automatically.

Sounds like the typical case of someone not understanding Mathematica. The 40min -> 5sec speed up can typically be achieved in Mathematica just by changing 1 to 1. The default is slower but always completely accurate, which is important

Technically I guess their are selling links to public domain images as NFTs which seems fair. I mean why would you not be allowed to link to public domain images?

> Cool, you don’t want to buy video games skins that way - who cares?!? This isn’t about micro transactions, you don’t need or even use NFTs for that. Replace NFT with gambling and it should make sense. Many people don’t like it when vid

It’s a process circus. Once something gets raised as a critical IT issue in a large org, it’s not enough to “just fix the problem” or state that you aren’t affected due to network security etc. You have to report about it, which means you l

There’s a story about two stock brokers walking down wall street, one of them spots something on the ground and goes: “Look, a hundred dollar bill on the ground!”, the other responds: “That’s impossible, if there was a hundred dollar bill o

I mean obviously I wasn’t doing moderate swimming, I was fighting for the top places in swim.com at the pools I was swimming in, and the number is low, and my weight is different but let’s use it and show my point. Assuming 3500 kcal per lb

I was doing meal prep both before and after, so I can attest to the fact that I didn’t change my diet down to the g amount of skyr I was eating at lunch. So no, I didn’t subconsciously change my diet.

Yes, and you could be a sysadmin at a university commenting on the dwindling share of Macs on campus arguing that it proves Apple is becoming irrelevant…

by boublepop 5y ago
I feel like claims that Mathematica is dying fall in the same category as people who claim that Apple must be dying because hardly anyone uses Macs compared to PC’s, and they don’t even have the majority of the mobile or tablet market. All

That is a pretty weird perspective. If a flash mob stormed your home and stole 0.07% of your yearly income, I’m pretty sure you’d consider it a problem even if the relative amount isn’t higher.

It sounds like this study has a series of problems. No control group, no reference measurement, no predefined hypothesis, and it doesn’t seem to mention number of participants, unless I missed it suggesting that it’s a small number. From th

There’s a difference between marketing material and fraudulent claims made to investors. You won’t get far claiming that your perpetual motion machine was just “filmed under ideal conditions” aka, hiding the magnet or air blower providing t

That is a quite naive question to be honest. You might as well had asked Zuckerberg why Facebook isn’t open source.

I think your point has been pretty thoroughly proven wrong by tether, which started out as just a claim without evidence that they had a 1:1 backing of USD to USDT, and then later provided evidence that they did in fact not ever have that,

Its also illegal to make weapons yourself. “You can’t prevent it” is a silly standpoint to argue from. Should you make it legal for American school children to shoot their classmates simply because apparently the country can’t prevent it? N

It’s not a tax on the business. If Elon musk is forced to sell a percentage of his shares in Tesla that’s not going to change their bottom line, it just means someone else, other than him is buying that ownership. It’s a tax on the billiona
