Financial markets do. Where acting faster than your competition is essential you don't have a lot of choice. As for the blackmail and war starting you probably couldn't do much with public tweets (nobody is going to go to war over

On the flip side there are positive racial biases. i.e. if you're the only non-white but otherwise fit the part / especially if dressed on the smarter end some people are less likely to question you because they don't want to

Apple has all of the APIs needed. You can compile and run chromium on iOS today (or at least it used to be possible - I work for an enterprise that did it for internal apps) - it'll just never make it through AppStore review.

Not sure where you are but in the UK Timpsons are absolutely everywhere (although the quality and pricing of repairs seems pretty hit and miss - some stores are excellent, others less so). And there are still plenty of independent shops kic

A lot of it is drive and people skills. If senior people like/trust you and you're willing to stand your ground/fight for something you can normally achieve significantly more. That and luck on how those above you are trying

Several countries have forced CEO pay to be published in hopes to guilt them into taking less pay. In most cases it ended up skyrocketing as a result. CEOs could see exactly what every other CEO was on when negotiating. Meanwhile boards did

I commute Canning Town to Bank. Daily its £5.30. Weekly cap is £35.10 / Monthly £134.80 so you won't hit them on just commute. In reality I have a railcard so its actually £4.50pd / even less likely to hit caps.

Modern building standards make it extremely likely a fire cannot pass between units (you can never realistically entirely remove it - people occassionally do things like hang sheets off balconies or store tanks of fuel etc). This is before

Rain, luggage, bike theft, having a driver so you can work from the back etc. Also depends on time of day. In the early hours a car is definitely faster than a bike in 95% of the city.

A lot of corporate employers have an internal travel agent. I.e. you tell them where/when and they book the tickets for you. Also in European shorthaul a lot of airlines don't even have business and for those that do you're n

As someone that flies short haul in europe fairly often by far the biggest factor for me is having to wait for my bag. Not only is it the entirely random amount of time it takes (from the luggage beating you there through to the best part o

That might actually be where these companies are useful. They can do that to you because there is no benefit to them to decrypting (and a cost/risk that these actions aid in them getting caught). If a single company handles hundreds of

I think this is almost what he's saying. Once you're past say $100M that is the case anyway - being the 83rd richest person on the planet has little to no real additional impact.

If you don't trust the manufacturer then the OS is the least of your worries. You can't trust the hardware, microcode or firmware either.

But clock speed doesn't really mean anything these days either. 1Ghz is just as arbitrary - the instruction rate through two CPUs at the same clock rate can vary massively. So a vCPU is an arbitrary unit but as each is equivalent then
