Do you have a source for that? I watched all the GOAT episodes and would both say that they were MUCH harder than typical Jeopardy games where I can typically answer 60-80% of questions and did not notice such a high percentage of questions

It’s either that or attempting to trivialize the content of the link to let everyone know that they could do the same thing in 4hrs after work on a Wednesday.

I was the same way for a while. I used the SE and swore I could never use one of the huge phones. Then I got an iPhone 11 Pro after I realized people weren't really designing with the small phone in mind and that it wasn't the fut

The scapegoating of NIMBY property owners is due to their use of political power to entrench their position, making economic solutions impossible/improbable. Can't do any expansion of housing supply or implement a land value tax w

Did you expect them to fall on a sword and commit seppuku? Obviously they did the most cost effective measure. Why try to snidely vilify them for acting according to the law in payment for their illegal acts? Vilify them for the illegal and

I'm not sure that that's the reason, actually. The reason is that not everyone who suffers from disease X necessarily goes to get treatment for disease X which would be the only way in which that case of disease X could be reporte

Mozilla's revenue comes almost entirely from selling traffic to Google. If you think Google is unethical, the same can almost certainly be said for Mozilla. This is just Tethics a la Silicon Vally on HBO.

I can't believe this is getting downvoted. It's the equivalent of sticking your head in the sand and hoping that if you can't see a bad thing then that bad thing doesn't exist. This is a clear case of incentive design an

There's Intel today but, also, presumably this could be done with GloFo? They were in the midst of research into 7nm processes but stopped due to competition. Feels like investment there could work faster than 20+ yrs.

Comments like these add nothing of value to anyone. At least _try_ to dispute something in his post to show why it is "vile" rather than express vague, preemptive distain at its future success because you disagree with it.

Sure, but that's not what we're talking about here. There was even a case where we hired someone directly from my prior employer to be on my team but it was very clear that I wouldn't be involved to prevent any kind of non-so

You're right! Seems like it may have in some part been in connection to litigation surrounding the company level no-poaching pact they were in prior. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/google-ends...

Is that true? I was definitely under strict orders from my employer to not solicit anyone from my prior employer throughout 2019. I would be surprised if they didn't realize it's not enforceable...

If you want inspiration the Computer Chronicles was a show on PBS documenting in real time the process and rise of computers. I believe all episodes are on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/user/ComputerChroniclesYT
