>Why should we give a platform to any random person? Do we no longer care about a persons expertise on the subject? In 2002 all of the media and the experts said that Saddam Hussain had WMDs and ties to Al-Qaeda and we went to war and hu

The idea that we have to silence these people because they are spreading incorrect information implies that no one has any personal responsibility to educate themselves. Personally, I thought that it was hilarious that Peterson criticized c

It sounds like you are saying that the bank will use a blockchain type ledger instead of a SQL based ledger on the back end. What problem does that solve? For people to want to switch to this type of bank there has to be a net benefit.

Agreed, from my personal experience, I think the criticisms of Amazon are valid. But at the same time, if you have switched jobs 3 times in 18 months, you need to do some research and take some time to understand that you have a responsibil

While I feel bad that this guy didn't understand what he was getting into when joining Amazon, it is the middle manager at these companies that have the worst jobs. I interviewed for an Engineering Manager job at MSFT and they looked l

If you have your keys then yes, you can sign a new transaction. But what happens if you lost your keys and no central authority has the ability to change your address?

Obviously you can create a blockchain that allows edits. Git is a crypto tree technology and it allows rebases. But the whole point of Bitcoin is that no one should have the authority to reverse transactions or print new coins. And all of W

But even in a world where everyone is a good actor, bugs and accidents will still exist. Then what happens when someone accidently sends money to a wallet where the owner is dead or unreachable? Why would anyone want to put their life savi

I would love to become a crypto dev for these people. Me: Hey boss the code is to spec ready to deploy? Just need my payment in USD. Crypto Entrepreneur: Yes, here is your 50k, I will now turn my 100k into 5M, with my smart contract. Me: ac

But are you using confirmation bias to find a cognitive bias that fits here. But, In all seriousness we don't have access to the data across all 60k FSD users to know what the intervention rate is and how it has been changing over time

What is success? Does 50 miles of geofenced and daily mapped streets mean Cruise won self driving? What if Waymo gets to 20k miles of geofenced roads and monthly mapped? What if Tesla gets to the point of one intervention/crash every 1

Funny Story: A recruiter sent me a detail post about a job. I wrote back and said I was interested. He never responded so I applied to the job online and got it. 4 months later he messages me and says sorry but it looks like the position ha

My problem with big orgs is how inefficient they can be. At IBM I worked 5 hours a week and still was in the top 20% of my team.

That is fine if you think things would have worked out better if we just treated Covid like another strain of the flu. 99% of ER Doctors disagree with you. If you think their opinion doesn't matter, that is fine too, but I don't s

I don't follow your logic. Because Fauci, Trump, Biden said things that turned out to be false, new medicines can no longer be created? Or are you saying that new medicines can still be created, but you will not take them out of spite

git is a distributed crypto chain technology. No one is saying it is a scam. It isn't the tech that people are calling a scam.

Yes, I discovered this back when reddit was just a few years old. Before then I was able to search google for a specific reddit thread and find it. Now there is no chance. I've been screen shit and downloading things that I like for ye

The tech is great. I'm a huge fan of all crypto use cases that actually exist today and are actually used by people and don't involve money laundering or accidental Ponzi schemes.

This is a hard pill for society to swallow. On the poor end people legitimately feel like they are not well off because they have so much less than many others. On the high end, rich people don't like the idea that 200 years from now t
