   That's a good point - I don't have kids and don't have any good advice on how to work around them. :)

   One of the best things I did for myself was moving all of that free time to the morning. Now I wake up at 5, have coffee, exercise, play or work on whatever hobby has my attention at the moment, then work all day. I have loads of focus and

   The int** is not dereferenced three times. The cast says "treat this int* as an array of int*, then the first dereference says "give me the first element of that array", which gets you back the original int*.

   I'm very much like this. I can turn it off and on at will. Meditation is easy for me, I just "turn off" the voice and sit. I run long distances and will sometimes realise that an hour has gone by without any thoughts other th

   This is also why it's much more valuable to look at user metrics than actual feedback when making design decisions. Individual pieces of feedback can be valuable, but if you let it do the driving then you can end up making changes that

   It's a mistake to assume the marginal cost scales linearly with payload. Fuel will (ish), but many other costs are fixed per launch. I'd argue your estimate is not aggressive. SpaceX continues to claim an eventual marginal cost in

    Falcon9 still throws away the second stage every time. The idea of Starship being $10M is that it's fully reusable, so your marginal cost is only fuel/maintenance/launch.

    This is a very insightful way to put it. When the wheels fall off USDT will become valueless in no time at all.

    To a first order effect, stopping production would decrease supply, increasing price, and therefore decreasing demand and therefore overall oil usage, shifting some energy to alternative sources. Of course second order effects might dwarf t

    Of course the system was built by humans, but we are discussing the proximate cause of the outage.

    Human error is a cop-out excuse anyway, since it's not something you can fix going forward. Humans err, and if a mistake was made once it could easily be made again.

    But in this case the Compound contract specified this was intended to happen, therefore it's not an accident nor was the money transferred to the wrong account. The whole point of the contract is that it's a perfect, unambiguous,

    I too thought of SpaceX while reading your first paragraph. I've heard Elon Musk described as a "nanomanager".

    That's ridiculous. Seat belts exist in all cars, and making it mandatory to use them imposes only the tiniest of costs. The cost/benefit is overwhelmingly positive and the anti-seatbelt lobby is nonexistent. Motorcycles, as danger

    Energy is fungible. If base load were to drop due to crypto miners being turned off, the energy with highest marginal cost would be turned off, which means fossil fuels, not renewables.

    Just because an asset is near an all-time high doesn't make it a good investment.
