What I have observed is that in Silicon Valley culture, when compensation becomes your defining identity, you can’t ever be satisfied with yourself if someone else with similar accomplishments makes more money than you. Also, many of people

You’re grasping at straws. Going by the Yelp restaurant review example, perhaps the people who rate a restaurant are either very satisfied or dissatisfied. In the case of Amazon ratings on Blind, it seems that no one is willing to advocate

I don't like Mr. Musk but the highly upvoted and analytical takes about how he is not serious with the offer or is just trolling did not age well at all.

"Go on reddit, the refrains of "eat the rich" are quite common. People there hate the rich and the elite." Well, an argument is lost if it starts by referring to the people who post on reddit. But do people really hate a

I'm not arguing about their existence. After all, there are very strange people in the world. The "eat the rich" mantra is a manifestation (although not really physical) of the incredible and widening gap between the middle c

As you said, Hawley (Stanford and Yale alumni), JD Vance (Yale alumni), even Trump (from a wealthy family and Penn alumni) are all political elites but also quite popular with the right-wingers. So it's not really about hating the elit

"the stupidity and moral ineptitude of lower-class people who avowedly hate elites" I have never encountered an individual who claims to hate the "elite". And I for one will not complain if someone hates a person who hol

I don’t believe something like Dall-E 2 would make a visual artist’s job worthless. Some of the cherry-picked examples were impressive, but the others, not so much. The output lacks the deliberation & thought that an artist’s work would

Then, if you live in a western country, stop paying taxes because it supports killing innocent people, and to a much larger extent than what is going on in Ukraine. Leave your job because tech companies have contracts with the government&#x

When did how most people “feel deep down” become a sound policy making strategy? To be candid: in some matters, the regulators should not give a shit about how you want your phone. Good for EU and their mandates.

Who do you think you are calling people struggling to get by to wake up from their “comfy lethargy” and “actually protest”? People don’t protest when they’re struggling to make ends meet and civil institutions are weakened. The only effect

Actually, RedHawk Linux is widely used in the US “defense” industry. It supports modern hardware and even provides real-time performance when using CUDA. It is not exactly the PREEMPT_RT though. https://concurrent-rt.com/pro

I agree that Linux with RT_PREEMPT cannot be hard real-time in the sense that it cannot formally guarantee meeting a deadline due to CPU firmware interrupts. However in many applications (e.g. robotics) where missing a single deadline will

Wordle alone proves you wrong. The "goodness" of the game is in its core mechanics and ideas, not what most people refer to as high quality (graphics, art assets, etc.).

I don't think it comes off as a sponsored article at all though. In fact, it's very skeptical of Carvana's business model and pricing algorithm throughout the article.

Of course, there are frauds in any industry/profession. But in my experience (math, science, & engineering), it is actually far less prevalent than in other places. Forget the overzealous #sciencetwitter people. I have found that a

Wrong again. The computers in any sizable business already have the pre-approved restrictions set on the OS level. Employers can’t just install any software.
