Theranos survived for years after people first began raising the alarm... if you'd somehow figured out a way to make a large bet against it, there's a decent change the market would have remained irrational longer than you could h

Totally possible this time is different... but I'm more making the point that if I'd bet against Tesla each time it looked like they would tank, I'd be very broke. At least historically, Tesla stock has shown a consistent abi

Tesla has proven to be very good at lying, moving goalposts, and insisting that this time [x] is right around the corner. I don't know what would be different this time. They might launch it with, like, 5 cars total, or have it be 100%

I’m not sure if Postgres would have enough horizontal scaling to accommodate the insane volume of reads and writes. I would be super interested to be proven wrong though… anyone know of a cluster being run at that scale?

Opiates and amphetamines seem like they obviously have a different risk profile (and resultant societal impact) than nicotine or caffeine. Somewhat off topic, but I’ve always wondered if alcohol would still be legal if it wasn’t grandfather

How does it compare to uipath when it comes to orchestration? In my experience, a lot of the low code tools don’t make it easy to monitor automation health, validate outputs, and set retry policies… that’s an area where I’d kill to see a to

Credit union deposit rates are usually tied to how much they need deposits, as opposed to what prime/sofr/fed are at. Credit unions whose lending isn’t keeping up with deposits (which is especially common in smaller CUs) will keep

Excel can open, modify and save CSVs, in my experience some users won’t even notice they’re not editing a native excel file.

Are lasers typically able to reflect off of surfaces that diffuse light (ie drywall)? I’m totally ignorant when it comes to laser safety, apologies if this is a stupid question .

The key is that for every Apple, there are a ton of companies we don’t even remember the names of that went out of business or otherwise did not beat the SP500. Put another way - if you can reliably pick the next Apple before anyone else, y

Is that a method anyone has ever used to distribute paid, multi-GB software (or ever will for that matter)? I’m pretty sure Kaspersky is fully closed source anyways. This argument seems really roundabout and ineffective.

I'm not arguing that speed plays a factor, but you should still wear a helmet. I know two people who had brain damage (like, serious damage that persists years later) from low speed falls - one was literally standing still, and the fal

Would this require a temperature gradient to function? My understanding is that a device that converts heat into power would violate thermodynamics.

I think the concept is somewhat fatally flawed, so I don’t really have any suggestions about how to improve it. I totally get that I’m just throwing a bunch of problems at you without providing solutions, sorry I know that’s not very fun to

How do you tell the difference between someone being boosted by a cheater, and someone playing with their friend, who they don’t know is a cheater? I think the distinction to me is whether there is reasonable doubt. If a player has a VAC b

I think a service like this is incredibly prone to false-positives and abuse, especially if you’re going to try to flag subjective things such as throwing or smurfing. It also seems like it could be damaging, and I’m skeptical of this the “

The scroll bar appears to be missing from the article. In case the author is reading the comments: was this deliberate? If so, I'd be really interested to hear the thought process behind the design decision.

In my eyes, the fact the UUIDs (or specifically v4, as mentioned in the article) encode no information is an advantage. I don’t think encoding the creation date into the UUID is likely to be a huge security hole, but I can imagine some inst

I always feel like I’m taking crazy pills when I see how vitriolic the discussion around EA gets. I’m sure you can find some crazies in who adhere to EA in wacky ways (as with any other group), but the brunt of the focus of EA has always cl

He’s a talented and intelligent engineer. It’s hard to see a world where he gets the “self-driving by end of year” thing wrong, like, four years in a row, but is still operating in good faith when he sends out the tweet for the fifth year.
