The problem is not men's _rights_. It's men's _mental health_ and _education_. And, feminists do definitely support those things. But, when your answer to your problems is "We need more power" and you already have a

Resource scarcity generally creates economic depressions, not growth. In general, something like a food shortage will cause people to freak out and try to horde whatever is left which causes commerce to start siezing up. This is why wheneve

Since this is YC backed, is there a plan for monetizing it?

You've got it backwards. The principals of economics accurately describe a shitty situation created by corporations. They do not determine how the corporations must act; economics models exchanges of wealth. When the corporations contr

You are looking at it a different way, but the conclusion should be the same. You are saying there is more demand for specific CEOs because they are the ones who control the industry (this is actually why they "can't be replaced&q

This definitely feels like a very hopeful and intentionally narrow sited analysis. Like, we're saying that Waymo's accidents were primarily low-speed collisions but also they were only allowed to go 35mph max and drive in off peak

Pretty much all software companies now have ongoing costs associated with the software after you would have purchased it - ops, hosting, security updates, and backports for compatability. In order to sell it to you and have it make sense th

Encoding and compression also have the property that they vastly change the data _representation_ of information (often changing it completely). Yet, the underlying thing reamins the same in a way that's easily recognizable by a human.

I'd still much rather see real art. It's kind of the difference between eating a homemade meal and eating manufactured crap out of a vending machine. And, from what I can tell, the art generators are basically just stealing other

If all they expect are passing test cases, then just use canned values in your code to make the tests pass. This is way more performant and even more efficient to write.

A lot of your framing has to do with what's expected of the system. Like, scaling from 100 users to 100M is an expectation not a property of the software. Making that library _more_ secure is also an expectation. Expectation becomes de

My GPA was bottom 10ish at my high school. I graduated high school essentially because I already had most of the credits I needed to graduate from middle school. I got into college based on test scores alone (and I was surprised that this w

To me this reads more like "Even though humans can be modeled as distributed computing systems, we have to remember that they are humans because ethics" which is not my point. My point is that the human element is what makes peopl

Humans are probably a lot more like plants than distributed computing systems. Everyone likes a different environment. We bear different kinds of fruit. You can't just uproot a person randomly and move them around and expect everything

Pretty much every billionaire in existence has, at some point, taken millions of investment dollars from someone else. This is ultimately where the vast majority of their business value comes from. Compare to value generated by individuals

This only works if you're leveraging your judgement through other people. The people who put you in a position to make the meaningful judgement are just as important. For example, if the person who made the monitoring system that you&#

If you gave his workers a choice between splitting the company equally with Elon and letting him have all or most of it, they would all choose to have the benefits of ownership. You can't say that someone "agreed" to somethin

What you're talking about is using other people to leverage the value of your judgement, right? This is similar to what a manager does when they manage a team - they make sure that things flow well in the team or the whole project fail

No billionaire is contributing anything close to what they're receiving in return. They should be compensated with an amount that's commensurate to the role they fill within an organization. Elon, for example, is a glorified manag

The problem with income inequality is that the people at the top are actively stealing money from everyone else. Elon isn't out there building rockets. He just gets the rockets that other people made automatically and for free. This is

This post is really narrow-sited in terms of economics. The argument is essentially that "Absentminded regulations forced those poor truck makers into building bigger trucks and then consumers just had to buy them". Unfortunately,

Maybe I've just been lucky, but most of my contracts have essentially been worded so that work related to the business belongs to them, but not everything.

I'm definitely a fan of type checkers and formal verification. The problem is that even those tools permit not just specific bugs, but whole classes of bugs through verification; there are inherent limits on what any tool can give you.

Yes? I think we all agree that the point of a debugger is to repair stuff that's broken, right? Do you actively read and improve the surrounding body of code while you use the debugger? If so, what do you get out of the debugger?

by d0liver 5y ago
Surprised nobody has posted this: https://lwn.net/2000/0914/a/lt-debugger.php3 . The big problem with debuggers in general is that they encourage you to repair bad stuff rather than to create good stuff. When

How did you write 200k lines of code in nine months? Was that all functioning code? Was some stuff generated? Retaining ~730 LoC per day including weekends for nine months is a really crazy pace and I'd love to hear more about that wor

One thing that’s problematic is that Slack has the “wrong” notification settings on by default (it notifies you of everything). You should flip the default to “mentions only” and then don’t worry about looking at a channel unless you’re men
