This is my first time in New York, I thought those steam pipes were a hack to fix steam build up in the sewer system. I didn't realize it's a separate system. Actually the heat and hot water in the building where I'm staying

To be fair, it probably was one of the three. I would put my money on the US.

I would argue that 10% still doesn't matter as much as other things. But it's starting to matter.

He just did, it's called Rust. And if someone invented a language 5% faster than C. He'd still use C. If someone had invented a language faster than C when he started working on Linux, he would still have chosen C. He didn't

The difference in performance between existing systems languages is greater than 1%. This is just not a big deal. People will not choose their systems language based on a 1% performance difference. It's so far down the list of consider

Perhaps that's the point. Religion is universal across human cultures, it must serve some, as yet unknown, evolutionary purpose to be so universally widespread. I doubt that historical purpose was higher birth rates, but it certainly i

I missed that, that's a huge ray of hope! It looks like it's already getting below real interest rates. That's excellent!

This is terrible news. Without a recession to curb inflation, the fed will have to get far more extreme with interest rates to get inflation back down. I thought that rates might top out around the end of the year, but now the fed may have

You can achieve that steady grid by over-building wind+solar, interconnecting larger areas of grid, as that naturally smooths out the variability as the system gets larger and more diverse, and adding storage. Storage is not quite there ye

You can build solar or wind plus some energy storage or long distance transmission to even it out for less than the price of nuclear and with income beginning quickly, not after 10 years. By the time nuclear projects started now complete,

They grew cloud revenue some 30%+ While I'm usually nervous about Google discontinuing things, they'd be idiots to cancel something with $6B in revenue growing that fast.

Yup, government coming in and distorting the free market in all kinds of ways is very wasteful. However, there are cases where the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. For example, it's nice to get your energy, metals, computers, industria

Only if the original manufacturer does the shipping, which is not always true. If it says "prime" it's warehoused by Amazon, original manufacturer or not, and subject to commingling.

Better yet, buy their land and you have your buffer zone.

Even New York is mostly empty. Have you ever been out of the city? I think the problem is you're assuming that the population must be zero. But it's quite possible to purchase a large tract of rural land with little agricultural v

Thanks for sharing! Ribbon filters, xor filters, these binary fuse filters, are all immutable sets where the keys are known at construction time. But there are many classes of problems where that's true.

Or simply that people who care more about their health are more likely to purchase extra virgin olive oil. Unsurprisingly, those people might have lower mortality. These kinds of studies are often useless. The authors try to control for som

The US is huge and most of it is sparsely populated. There is no shortage of space. People from actual, tiny, crowded countries must find you guys hilarious.

Thanks to Amazon comingling inventory, you can buy something from one seller and have it fulfilled from the inventory of another. There's no protection from fakes and counterfeits. Even the reviews aren't enough to be sure.

That would also throw me, it seems intuitive from our land based experience that the flag blows backward with moving things as they push through the air. Like flags on cars. But sailing vessels are propelled by the wind, and usually move sl

I'm not forgetting, just noting there's a difference between CCP and the US government which matters here. If the US government gets caught using that info to persecute dissidents and their families, I'll be sure to retract m

TikTok is very different because the CPP has leverage over them and can force them to do things we in the West would find abhorent. That's not to find Western companies or governments innocent, because they are not, but the magnitude o

by eloff 4y ago
Authors of open source software choose to put their code out into the world. The legal agreement is if you use it, you attribute the use and abide by the rules of the license. In practice this is not often done, and there is little conseque

Long in the long term, yes. Entering and leaving positions for short periods of time based on insider information seems sketchy to me.

If you're going short or long the entire index on non public information, is that really innocent?

How can it properly attribute it? The code is being "copied" by copliot from other repos that didn't properly attribute it. This is no different than if you found one of those repos and copied it yourself. Copilot is magnifyi

I think there are some ideas here that are low risk and low cost. I only know a little about the topic, but it seems doable and much better than the alternative of doing nothing and just taking our medicine. A very interesting discussion on

They love active solutions that distract from the fact that the only permanent solution means there can be no more oil, gas, or coal companies.

Get one of those people to manage the group. You call it the lead role, and pay them sightly more. You don't need a dedicated manager.
