> I haven't seen much evidence he's good at delegating. You think Elon Musk created two of the most valuable companies in the world without being good at delegating? I think pretty highly of him, but not that highly.

Not the OP, but for me this is a matter of principle. If you don't have root on your device, it isn't yours, its the manufacturer's, and you're simply renting it. I rarely if ever actually use my root access for anything

I can't believe nobody has pointed out that the original article debunking the DK effect is in fact an example of the effect. Truly poetic.

Any brand recommendations?

Let's not forget though that a great deal of "science" is in fact trash[1]. The problem isn't really people being anti-science or pro-science. The problem is science being done poorly, whether by scientists in the creden

It's a secured loan. The bank doesn't care if it makes money or not.

He can easily get a loan against the value of his shares for this, combined with his own personal wealth (he recently sold a huge amount of stock, he has lots of cash on hand). It's not bullshit at all.

The only modern examples of censorship coming from the right I can think of are the anti-CRT and "don't say gay" type bills. These laws are certainly problematic, but as tools of censorship, they're narrowly targeted at

As a former opiate addict myself, I don't think that's true at all. Moving the choices of addiction from the simple parts of the brain to the higher parts is the whole game. If at any time while I was an addict, you had told me &q

Totally get that, and to be clear I think what you're doing is super cool. I should have given a more relevant example to you. I think the general category of "user autonomy" over how/what kinds of content they see or do

As other people have mentioned but I think not quite nailed perfectly, restrictions on behavior aren't quite the right solution to the problems that plague social media. Some people think that the right move is to eliminate engagement

An extension to that question: Why do people say elevating your heart rate is good in relation to exercise, and bad in relation to cocaine? People frequently say things like "stimulants stress your circulatory system", but so does

He can't manipulate it into a 22% profit, for exactly the reason you articulated. His buying pushed the price up - his selling will push the price down. He might might make a small profit from the increase his buying news generated if

I thought that was the point, though. The brand Facebook is well known, but had developed negative associations. So they wanted to start fresh.

Adjusting for confounders on an n of 13 is statistically ridiculous.

It removes trust from several components of the system. It does not, in this case, remove trust from all components.

It's pretty obvious that you can't implement a trustless assurance anonymous assurance contract without a blockchain.

by darawk 5y ago
You don't. You have to rely on reputation for that piece. Blockchain solves the problem of the assurance contract.

Is there another system that allows you to implement an anonymous assurance contract without a trusted third party?

His point is that nature adapts to these things and learns to consume them eventually. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with storing plastic in the earth, as long as it isn't disrupting ecosystems.

Because there isn't the same kind of social pressure for them not to be. Pretty straightforward.

The currency crash doesn't need to impact them. They can just raise prices. If your theory were correct, McDonald's wouldn't still be paying their employees, but they are. It's very clearly a moral, or at least reputatio

A big part of the point of these sanctions is effectively communicating to the Russian people the scale of the rest of the world's disapproval of their government's actions. The Kremlin can propagandize all they like, but it'

This doesn't work because of the Flynn effect. Raw IQ scores have been consistently increasing over time. So much so that the average person in the 1920s would be considered mentally challenged today, if you used their raw IQ scores. H

They certainly knew there would be sanctions, but I don't think they estimated they would be this harsh. Almost nobody in the west even thought they'd be able to unite enough to do what's been done. These sanctions have got t

You very well could be right. It just seems to me that the surface area is large, and the value of exploitation is high. Anything from targeting sensors on the plane with lasers, to exploiting ground stations / satellites / IFF sy

More like lasers manipulating sensors on the plane, or MITMing/jamming comms with ground/satellites/IFF systems, or interdicting component supply chains and inserting flaws into chips/sensors/controllers that can be

No, but some firsthand experience in the cyber-security industry, and enough knowledge of how planes work to know its possible in principle. At least, assuming there are bugs in the onboard software, which i've no doubt there are. EDIT

You could be right, but if you acknowledge that it's possible in principle to do this, why wouldn't we be investing heavily in it? Being able to ground an enemy's air force without appearing to fight them would be an incredib
