You misunderstood me (or I wasn't clear, sorry). When I said it was "Fine" - I didn't mean it was 'fair' or in any way a sensible thing to do. Just that you legally could if you wanted to (but it would be stupi

cannot resist that delicious bait Google and all the rest have many people all over the spectrum, claiming they were being fired for being too left, too right, gay, straight, white, a minority etc - and whenever it happens that little sid

I was about to write something sarcastic about semantics - but then I engaged my brain. If your company is a bowl of 999 blue M&Ms and somebody asks you to find a new M&M that will Fit That Bowl I know what I'd be reaching for

Not hiring because somebody because they're not a cultural fit is fine (if for some reason you like monoculture). Determining they're not a cultural fit because they're black, is most definitely not. "..article published

Again, I think it depends where you're coming from - and what you want to do. I work in the UK and have a number of Indian (national) colleagues (some previously subcontractors, some offshore brought onshore). Getting people into the U

Yes - none of this is magically making the borrower have more money. The sole purpose of this device is to ensure that from an amount of money that doesn't cover their outgoings, the car payment has a higher priority and is more likely

Sorry, how is their provoking of delinquency in any way more profitable than getting that 29% APR on an overpriced piece of junk, hitting their bank account each month?

Yep. I've had a couple of deliveries with stickers on the food saying "order directly from us and save"

I agree - but I'm not sure it's Deliveroo. In UK at least, they're seen as the 'premium' food delivery option (mainly restaurants, rather than takeaways) - and that's good. What's not so good, is that bran

I don't think it's solely the "price-tanking", it ties them to the company for a while. i.e. If I was an investor looking to buy, I'd be a bit worried if the dev team would all be made instant millionaires on the da

I'll agree with you that I find their reasoning faulty (I did), but what I dislike about my atheism is that I get lumped in with people who'll tell theists that "they're wrong" To my mind, most of the planet's

To cut to the chase "bullshit" I am an atheist. I am without god. I respect no external judgement upon me. Am I pure? Have I fallen victim to the seduction of mammon and the innumerable trinkets of existence - of course I have, an

My guess is that it isn't for "People who spend time doing hardware prototyping, or software development for custom hardware" It's for people who are interested in (using an example provided on the site) in making an &qu

My take is that a lot of the people jailed, aren't that dangerous. Issues with Education, Mental Health, Crappy Families, Substance abuse etc all seem to wash up in the criminal justice system - like somebody being lazy with their exce

I think it's more (and it's not just Apple playing this game) that the entry model/price is horrifically under-powered. It's there to hook you in on the price, and that's it. The rest of the pricing is then designed

Why just A/B? Could generate trees of filters applied to your content, with a separate channel output on each leaf. Breed the filters that work, kill off the ones that don't get the clicks. SEO for your appearance.

Not very hackery - but that was my prominent thought at the end of the article. I mean maybe there is a tech point, that hair has historically been a pretty hard thing to model, so I'd presume hard to correct with a filter - so maybe i

Indeed. Just looking at the M1 Air (which I am quite tempted by). $999 Starting Price. tempting +$249 +265Gb SSD (and a 8th GPU core) +$200 +8Gb RAM (to a reasonable 16Gb) +$200 +512Gb (to a nice 1Tb) So that's $649 for a 768Gigs of

Just wanted to say I enjoyed that story - whimsical little tech project, written up in an entertaining and informative manner. Not that I dislike more serious stories, but nice to have a mix.

It's a reasonable point, but if I can be a little bit "whataboutist" If you're against entirely fictional depictions of child abuse, then how do you feel about other fictional depictions of a crime? (That's a lot of

My point was that the only reason mining is concentrated in China is cheap power. If country X had cheaper power than china, than the majority of mining would be in country X.

I think I agree with you and think there's a parallel to other conventional currencies. Controlling the hash is similar to controlling a central bank - you've got the power to trash your currency, but that's coupled with you
