That's how governments around the world tried to conceal the deceleration of economy, encouraging people to get into debt. Was funny to see the Brazilian government commit the same error in late 2000s.

Would it be wrong to use a finance-textbook approach e.g. recurring revenue divided by a rate of return? (Or rate_of_return minus rate_of_growth, using the Gordon model.) For example, if I get 1k/mo in ads, dividing it by (0.25 /

I have a powerline adapter (made in 2014) that hangs every other day if I let it operate in 802.11n (and it hangs every day if in mixed mode). Pinging it from my Raspy mitigates but does not eliminate the problem. I even installed a wall sw

In Brazil we have a similar effect with shopping centers/malls, that tend to be pretty, clean and safe, not just a bunch of stores (the store rent inside the mall is higher than a street store). Shopping center becomes the default plac

Good, so they invented Keynote that is a ton better. I use it even for things that I should be using Photoshop/GIMP.

How useful would be a conscious computer? It would have to be protected by some rights (at the very least, equivalent to animal rights), they cease to be machines. The narrow-task AI efforts make more sense from an economical point of view,

Being a father is not easy as well, and it is unpaid work.

Quite old, plain Python is still slow but PyPy is in the league of Node.js. I rewrote the same program (compare two images, generate a third that shows the diff) in a number of languages. Considering CPython as the reference implementation

Machiavelli said, the man forgets the loss of a father sooner than the loss of property. Imagine you worked 5 years to buy something and it is robbed. Isn't it emotional damage? Human rights people tend to separate rights in boxes, whi

I had a slightly similar experience while taking antidepressants. The anxiety went completely away. That made me drive more recklessly (my parents and my wife began to dread taking a lift) and I contemplated getting a mistress. Of course, I

As I commented in another related article, I think it in terms of "nuclear reactors", whose reaction times are crafted to match human reaction times (tens of seconds). Trading could follow the same principle. Compounding with that

IPv4 won't disappear or exhaust. It will fade out like a white dwarf, but it may well be still in use, 20 or 30 years from now. CGNAT at client side (already in widespread use) and server-side public IPs that cost money every month wil

In some Brazilian variants of Truco, the communication must not be noted. If the adversary can tell that gesture X means Y, you lose a point.

Even if the 80% thing is true, this is not a difference to lose the sleep about. It should be fixed, but the statistical noise is too significant to aim at 100%. The marginal value of money is log(x), and log(0.8) is almost 0. When women we

Nuclear reactors are planned in a way that their response time is in human scale e.g. they take something like 20 seconds to increase or decrease activity. This leaves room for human intervention. IMHO markets should do something similar: c

Agree with this, but men are victims of stalking as well (considering the theme of the article). Perhaps the article insisted too much that it is a women's problem. In any case, if the laws related to staking don't exclude male vi
