These examples you have are insightful, and they remind me of the saying, "the perfect is the enemy of the good." Zealots want the "perfect", and Moderates want the "good." It does seem to me that you are worki

Apologies for the glibness, but it sounds like you're a zealot for moderation?

I really appreciate this screed. You're opinions here are obviously warranted. I'm wondering, though, do you have any examples of folks who do have "actually workable plans"? It seems to me that you've set a pretty

Well, it's misleading now . It wasn't misleading when it was published.

It sounds like you do agree that life is unfair, though. At least, you call it a "fact". I think it is a fact, as well, because "fairness" is an ideal that we strive towards, and ideals never exist in reality. I don&#x27

When I was in a high school physical education class, if one member of our class wasn't ready (changed into p.e. clothes and standing in a line) 5 minutes after the bell rang, then the whole class had to do ten push-ups. I remember thi

Well, I guess it depends on your definition of "open". There is such a thing as an "open secret". And I think we all know which side of the fence Trump is on.

I find your comment extremely insightful, especially the second paragraph. So thanks for that. It makes me wonder if we could bring back more "trust in the system" by putting a cap on the price of litigation, or using "public

You need to think it through. Imagine the worst case scenario, that you do all the hard work, and then someone really does come along and gain all the benefits. Then what happens? You will still get the experience from doing the hard work,

It's a colloquialism at this point. Nature also abhors a vacuum, goes toe to toe with Nurture, and is a mother herself.

You might have misread or misinterpreted the opening paragraph. I don't see where the author classifies the trace of a matrix as trivia, though she does refer to some linear algebra concepts as "basic".

I think we're finding out that the coins that Coinbase's customers believe they hold don't actually belong to those customers. It looks like they belong to Coinbase, who is deciding what to do with them. You gotta read the fi

Then again, people wouldn't have an innate desire to believe in good and bad people if fairytales and religion weren't already so popular.

Rather, this is a reflection of an entire culture of woman-hating and female disempowerment that has been prevalent since Aeschylus wrote The Oresteia, of which these coworkers at this one small company are but a typical example.

Sure, but they're also being defended constantly by armies of programmers. When a vulnerability is discovered, the four projects you mentioned are all awfully quick to issue and distribute patches. Think about how Google pressured Micr

My recommendation would be to go back to the original sources. Hardly anyone (on Medium or Techcrunch, that is) would know about Arthur Samuel's checkers playing program. His paper, "Some Studies in Machine Learning Using the Game

Not in "droves", you're right. BUT, there is a very small, privacy-conscious, vocal minority that does not want an obvious backdoor hiding in their CPU. I am one member of that minority, and I won't be purchasing from AM

If you forget about blockchain for a moment, and just focus on your last question, then you can see that the internet itself is a type of "decentralized data store", which solves one major pain point of humanity, namely, access to

From what I gather from the few examples in the post, is that JavaScript has incorporated a lot of the ideas in JQuery, thus making JQuery itself a tad redundant. As for a "compelling enough reason", I don't know about you, b
