Stocks "represent ownership", is such fiction I don't even know where to start. If you really believe this, I'd like to sell you 49% ownership in my next venture! I of course have 10x voting rights and can issue more sha

I had hoped to not wade too deep into this discussion for privacy reasons, but essentially I have quasi-rented it to someone close to me who I trust, and isn't in need of the place. They cover the utilities they use, and I don't c

As a potential landlord who is doing this very thing right now, it isn't really "throwing money away", because of asset appreciation. If you get stuck with a bad tenant it's way more hassle than if you had just let it si

Perhaps, but that reminds me, I forgot to mention the Bible. Facepalm. Of course the religious texts will still exist, and provide evidence for why I disagree with you. The surviving "books of the Bible" per KJV were simply the mo

If I had to put money on a longbet that in all likelihood I won't live to see the outcome of, it would be anything Marvel or Disney ( with fragments of the Star Wars franchise being most likely ). Has enough global appeal and likely to

Bloomberg is even more at $415, and that's just the baby bloomberg! I pay for it and think it's worth it too.

Afghanistan won because they literally lived in caves and herded goats; they had nothing to lose but their lives. Modern adversaries to Russia have plenty to lose.

Something that I’ve recently started doing is pomodoros of 25 minutes with 5 minute breaks. Finding discipline to just do real work is difficult if your work isn’t well specified beforehand. So I use a few tools for this: * pen/pencil

That would just further isolate working class Russians. A dictatorship doesn’t need consent of the governed to start a war so many Russian people may not approve and now you can’t even communicate with them. I think this would be incredibly

I’ll start out by saying I agree with you on Tor being a layer in a “defense in depth” strategy but to imply my response to this is fearmongering is quite premature. Feel free to give a point by point rebuttal for the community. I have give

I would say that if you're caught and ... somehow manage to delete all the evidence linking you ( you have device explosives or, idk, 2048 bit encryption ), you may be able to escape, but come on, who are we kidding: the FBI has li

As careful as some of the things he suggests are...if you're truly wanted by a state-level actor or sufficiently motivated attacker, you won't be able to hide by simply using VPN and Tor. Especially if you're running somethin

> You shouldnt be taking legal advice from the internet. Why not? I always find this "don't take advice from non-lawyers" to be annoying when I've listened to a lot of really idiotic theories by lawyers. And who knows

This is likely time biased. Future generations will not be so skewed towards those with degrees, in fact, it may revert slightly, as crushing student debt isn't rewarded for holders of worthless degrees. This should be a self correctin

Been going pretty well for about 1000 years now. ( how many revolutions have there been in the last 1000 years, and did wealthy people stop being wealthy? )

Somewhat disingenuous, you should take into account nuclear black swans which could easily make a whole state uninhabitable forever. That said, what I’ve read ( not much, haha ) about newer nuclear thorium tech seems to indicate this argume

A human brain can only paint what it has observed or derivatives of observation. How is digital remixing any different?

Your answer illustrates why, after all these years, HN is still one of the best places to lurk. As someone who forgot most of what he learned in HS chemistry, and didn’t take any collegiate courses, what material would you recommend to lear

It's still not very good. The state of the art vocoders ( StyleTron et al ) are years away from getting intonation right. But then if you could get intonation correct, you still need to be able to get pausing and pitch correct, let alo

The problem is it's not very good and there is a vast uncanny valley. Phoneme / voice conversion is an incredibly difficult problem and not likely to be solved with any techniques known today, least ways not cheaply. Transformer

Not even. This is far past what is expected of a staff, senior staff, or even principal engineer. This is a full-on technical cofounder, or hybrid cto/vpoe.

A world without mobility is one without agency...and humanity has been defined by agency. Without it, we might as well not exist, not as humans anyway.

I don’t know much about how the biotech industry works, but are you saying that he should “work in the field” before pitching this idea? In software that would be almost laughed at as a suggestion, if the idea is indeed promising.

Get more stock / have more of your base pay be in stock. Tech has done especially well with inflation.
