A lot of times the idea is wrong (and thus not valuable), and that can’t be proven either way without the code and data. So an idea that depends on code without the code is less valuable.

This was done at my previous company near the beginning of the pandemic, where half of the company (about 1200 people) were laid off, entirely with one-on-one calls. It worked well and I appreciated it personally.

I agree that it’s not stock in the traditional sense, but neither of the people in the chain above me seemed to think so. Just because it’s not-for-profit doesn’t mean that it can’t sell for a lot (people buy team merch for a lot more) and

Their website [0] seems to disagree with you. They’re currently selling stocks for $300 each and have sold a total of 5,000,000 in the past, suggesting a total raised on $1.5 billion overall. Obviously that’d be in today-dollars, but the cu

So now the race to prove ownership is to upload it to a blockchain first? If you publish your art on deviantart but while you’re uploading it to the blockchain, I sneak in first and upload it, suddenly I can say that I have a tamper proof l

The second “chapter” of this post is pretty disappointing. It seems like one of the authors doesn’t like violent video games (and thinks that they’re the cause of school shootings!) and because of that thinks (or at least implies) that educ

And Github is a copy of Sourceforge, which is inevitably a copy of someone else. Source code hosting as a business isn’t new, it just needs to be executed well.

The problem is how Apple both profits from the app store and sets rules on the app store. It’s incentivized to create rules that make it money without helping users. Apple needs to either stop making money from the app store or to create a

The human population is expected to flatten out at around 10-11 billion in 2050 or so, and then decrease. Bringing people out of poverty decreases the amount of children they tend to have without having to go to any extreme measures.

Natural immunity is not as strong as the immunity provided by the vaccines and the immunity provided by both together is much stronger. Having already had COVID is no reason not to get vaccinated.

From my understanding, the direct delays are resolved (ships are moving normally through the canal) but there are global delays that could be indirectly caused by the Ever Given or lots of other issues (understaffing at ports, closed ports

I’m not the parent commenter, but I use Lichess. It’s free, supported by donations (so their incentives align with mine more than a business’), open source (which I like ideologically), and in my opinion just has a nicer user interface.

That only works if you can convince the 90% of people who are non-vegetarian to switch over. Assuming you won’t legally ban it (I presume you’re not planning a revolution), that means you need a product that people will prefer to normal mea

Animals in the wild live a much nicer life than most animals in factory farms today. It’s not a 1-1 comparison at all, just because both can be brutal.
