There is a disadvantage if it turns out that these people make on average a negative contribution to the economy (i.e. if the aid they need and damage they cause via crimes is higher than the surplus created by them aiding others, and produ

Mobile browser generally have a "share" functionality that can share anything to Facebook or any app that supports that easily, so that's what people would be using rather than copy and paste.

"Why not both?" The problem seems more like that those executives had little people skills (empathy, negotiation, non-violent communication, etc.), or no incentives to apply them, rather than a fundamental issue with pursuing mult

Some people might like that, but in general I think what would be really needed is some way of doing online dating without pictures, since focus on appearance is unlikely to be effective at achieving long-term fulfillment (both if pursuing

Because there is only widely used one app store per platform and thus no competition.

It looks like there's another issue that is not quite mentioned: the Chrome code generator is using %rbx to point to the start of the WebAssembly memory, which means that the available addressing modes are severely reduced and a regist

Isn't the premise that "real wage growth is closely tied to labor productivity changes [of that particular job, in all cases]" just completely wrong in itself? If increased productivity (of everyone in a profession due to som

This can be solved, in the odd-days example, by making either the second most popular or all other search engines operate only on the even days (as well as making the restriction apply to the most popular engine instead of Google in particu

IMHO a simpler and probably the only viable way to force competition is to legally force Google to not respond to any query on certain periodic time periods. For instance, if you were to forbid Google from operating on every odd-numbered da

Surprising that an unoptimized build could be fast enough to not be noticed.

Yes, obviously, hence the idea to make childbirth something that is done because the person is paid by the state or a corporation, so that the genes that are spread are not related to the willingness to raise a child.

Kind of surprised this is a thing: seems like showing up with a 5$ bill or credit card and getting coffee and change back (whether from a human or from a coffee vending machine) would be a fine process. If one is a regular coffee drinker an

The most efficient way of executing a non-I/O function is to just use the thread stack to store its data and optimize it for speed rather than for using little stack space. However, for functions that can block indefinitely on I/O

The solution is probably to have the state or child-raising corporations pay people to have children instead of the current model where 1-2 parents raise a child. Not having children at all and intentionally extinguishing humans is also a p

Yeah, in normal adult social circles if you behave like an asshole you get ignored and if you force others to put up with you you get kicked out and police is called if you refuse. If the social circle you are in doesn't kick assholes

The solution is to fix the school system so that people are not forced to stay with a bunch of classmates they didn't choose and not prevented to do what they would really like to do in life, resulting in activities like this as a repl

Yes, it's pretty obvious that Tab is correct since it has semantic meaning (tab = indent), is one character and has configurable width.

The hashtable implementation is taken from hashbrown but the default hash is still the same and not taken from hashbrown.

Another model is to just rent store space to toy producers, and make no or little money from sales. This way, they earn a steady income regardless of whether someone buys it in store or tries it in store and then buys from Amazon. The toyma

It doesn't seem ideal to require cutting to remove a radioactive capsule. If done for security, a lock seems better.

I think it would have been important enough for Google to be worth fighting no matter the cost, since it would have been the only viable way of replacing Facebook. The user would be consenting, initiating and running the procedure on his ow

I think you can just use 32-bit libraries from Debian for the most part (I assume Debian is going to maintain i386 forever).

I dislike the lack of arithmetic instructions with built-in trap on overflow (even imprecise with a fence could be fine), but maybe that's too expensive to do in hardware.

Isn't cmov just a normal instruction with 3 source operands? Or do you mean that the problem is having 3 instead of 2 source operands? Or that one of the operands is the flag register on x86-like architecture? (but you can just use a n

I think what they should have done is add functionality into Chrome that would allow and encourage you to automatically import all the data in your Facebook account into Google+ and then post to both accounts. At the time, Google had much m

I find LaTeX's math syntax quite bad, e.g. the fact that you have to use \frac instead of just the / operator, \left( instead of just (, and so on. AsciiMath is much better and actually works as you would expect it to.
