For this to be true everyone must be logically on the same page. They must share the same axioms. Everyone must be operating off the same data and must not make mistakes or have bias evaluating it. Otherwise inevitably sometimes people wil

No, I’m saying I’ve seen reasonbly minded experts in a field disagree over things-generally-considered-facts. I’ve seen social impetus and context shape the understanding of where to draw the line between fact and opinion. I do not believe

I don’t think it’s so clear cut… Even the most adamant “facts are immutable” person can agree that we’ve had trouble “fact checking” social media objectively. Fluoride is healthy, meta analysis of the facts reveals fluoride may be unhealthy

I agree with your ideal. I used to be one of those people who would just talk about whatever in any context assuming everyone was mature enough to have academic discussions and not get personal. Political viewpoint is a protected class in t

I don’t think that’s totally accurate. If I live as a hermit but perform my civic duties like voting and paying any taxes, I don’t see how choosing to live in solitude is anything more than a lifestyle choice.

Are you from the US? In the last 15 years it has become impossible for two people to reasonably disagree over political positions because of how much vitriol is thrown around on the attention markets—even if both individuals themselves are

A lot of comments mention it has been a thing in various forms through the internet’s brief history. The interesting question is why didn’t it take off—especially when the technology was there. One possibility as you allude to is licensing.

Add a few zeros and I think we’d be in the right ballpark. You have to make up for the haircut before you start counting positive net value.

It’s not importantly different if the value you get from pre-IPO equity is less that the haircut you took to work at the startup, which is overwhelmingly the case. You want to tell me you’d be feeling like your equity was worth something in

People aren’t saying the chance is literally zero. They are saying it is low enough that they can’t consider it reliable comp for income purposes in their own personal situations. I can’t say my experience has been any different so I don’

That’s not what happens. Literally TFA covers the term “founders stock”. It really is a meaningless term to refer to common stock held by a founder.

If there were 2 other Amazons all with similar products and the same ease of shipping would you care where you purchased? Amazon is simply the best UX for online ordering. If anything else matched it I’d shop platform agnostic.

I don’t think “AI” as a market is “winner-takes-anything”. Seriously. AI is not a product, it’s a tool for building other products. The winners will be other businesses that use AI tooling to make better products. Does OpenAI really make se

I don’t think I’ve ever heard those two terms “video game” and “run everywhere” in the same sentence. Bravo.

Rust doesn't have a runtime so it looks just like C in compiled form. c-bindgen even spits out a c header. I’m not sure what skipping C practically means even if you can argue there’s a philosophical skip happening.

You joke, but I read stories at the time of developers saying their studio did just that. I shit you not. Because developing a “traditional” pc-like game for pc-like hardware on a pc is what their teams were tooled to do. Studios didn'

I would argue that the failure extended to the user-perceptible performance deficit vs the XB360 despite arguably more capable hardware. Released games didn't perform better on the PS3 even if they technically could.

by dcow 2y ago
The PS3 was a technical failure. It was inferior to its siblings despite having more capable hardware. This was super obvious any time you’d play a game available for both Xbox and PS3. The PS3 version was a game developed for Xbox then aut

I wish the discussion included the margins the fashion industry makes. In the labor sector, 10%-20% margin is respectable. But in the fashion and consumer goods sector at least 30% margins are expected. 80% margins are normal for “luxury” g

I don’t get the outrage. Trump did this with Mexico. He imposed tariffs and then immediately eased them when Mexico started negotiating. It worked . Wouldn’t a rational market understand his behavior by now (not agree with it, but understa

That’s a term of endearment if you ask all your exiled prisoners.

Except they implemented the decision and are responding to countries’ willingness to negotiate fair trade terms, just like with Mexico. Nobody is saying “just joking”. If people weren’t 1000% dismissive of the leader’s stated intentions t

Responding in good faith to other countries’ willingness to negotiate fair trade terms isn’t exactly flip flopping. In fact he did the same thing with Mexico. If the market was paying attention it would have accounted for this…

by dcow 2y ago
The fact that what they’ve been saying all along is that the goal of the reciprocal tariffs is to renegotiate with all countries for a more fair economic playing field. Many people aren’t so fickle as to just assume everything the party the

Same in mine. But mine isn’t predicated on the irreplaceability of human labor to derive value from human life. If we automated literally everything and we could all just live off UBI and drink wine and look at the stars all day, humans wou

It says it’s fully compatible which I take at face value. I guess I’m curious if there’s a real problem here and openrsync is missing support for 0.1% of use cases, or if it’s just pessimistic speculation.

GPLv3 I believe includes language that could be construed to cover your entire software distribution. IOW shipping a GPLv3 thing with the OS puts Apple at a very minor risk that a court could decide that the everything distributed with rsyn
