Interesting. What about hiring people from the leading companies? Isn't that how a lot of knowledge transfer happens in all industries? Are non-competes enforceable internationally?

Could you elaborate how? Is this specific to capitalism? or is cronyism the logical conclusion of any societal system that lasts for a while? For example, and just to choose an example that is obviously not capitalist, would you say cronyis

I'm not trying to poke holes in the analysis, and as I said I'm not blaming the author for what they did. I'm just repeating what the author said: > We can see a correlation between GPU prices and the value of crypto curre

The article only attempts to show there's correlation, and ends up by saying "correlation doesn't imply causation, but maybe there's causation". So basically, we don't know. I'm not blaming the author, bec

"real programming language types" There are a few languages where types only exist (for the most part, though with exceptions and hacks here and there) at compile-time, like Rust, C++ or even Haskell IIRC.

Your point is not against GP's point. It seems from your comment that you don't want to deliver a high-impact product, and that even the thought of your program as a "product" is offensive. Well, GP is not forcing you to

At the same time, there's plenty of things that people "know" that turns out to be false when examined closely. It's good that someone tries to verify things using as robust a methodology as possible.

I think placing the value of baseball cards on the fact that they are made out of cardboard is mostly trying to rationalize a preconceived notion that baseball cards make sense whereas NFTs don't. But even then, similar dynamics to the

If the argument is "we shouldn't use vaccines because of escape variants" then I don't see why we should fear escape variants more than we do any other kind of variants. If the argument is "we should build up a big

I get that. I just don't see why an environment where half the people are vaccinated would lead to worse outcomes, even if mutations take place that can bypass the vaccine's protections.

by bvaldivielso 5y ago
As far as I understand (I don't have any background in biology), mutations will happen regardless of whether people are vaccinated or not. There might be mutations that make the virus circumvent some vaccine protections, but those muta

You can be dismissive about literally anything that way. Computers: another variation on the same ol' "input in, output out" pitch. You find stablecoin's failures interesting. Crypto enthusiasts (which admittedly are a t
