This software is headed in an amazing direction.

That is definitely the idea. But, the point here concerns the opportunity for crime-making by the incentivized Best Buy employee. Nothing in that process raises the barrier to that happening.

If that is true, I guess all the “sustainable clothing” brands are just achieving the impossible.

Sorry but let’s not forget the “fashion” in “fast fashion”.

That does not sound profitable.

The problem here is pseudo-philosophical at most but if there’s an easy answer, it’s definitely not to interpret the metaphor literally. If the entities are exchangeable (as you treat them) then the premise void. Are you sure you understa

Whether OP peanut it or not, patents “incentivize” innovation with a terribly simplistic model of what that involves. The difference between “innovation” and “implementation” is like the difference between a business and it’s business plan.

No. But we could compare against our individual cultural alignments and use that. And we can call it whatever we want.

One of his regular points that is hardly controversial as far as I can tell. It seems solid to me. I think your summary gets at a key aspect of it too.

The market rewards innovation, among a few other things.

Any evidence for this being “degrading”? Anecdotal evidence? It sounds farcicle, propagandistic, and at the very most an extreme rarity. Although sure, plenty of people in any line of work will take pride in what they do, you are shaming so

It’s the same one as far as I can tell but I changed the link to player.fm which might be a bit more clear.

Good question. I recommend the podcast Economic Update : https://player.fm/series/economic-update-with-richard-d-wolf... It’s also available on iTunes and all the podcast apps. For books, read Capitalist Realism by

I am curious how this effects the compiler in particular?Does the compiler measure this in some way and respond with different behavior? Or is it already designed less efficient to account for these types of operations? Or a mixture of both

Is anyone else unable to find the video? I don’t want to see it very bad, but I’d like to know if there is clear reason I’m unable to see it.

I am a 3ds Max User, and I hate the ribbon. I use this software predominantly because of it’s superior user experience design, which involves a GUI that some would say is dated but most still agree it is great. I love everything about the

Could someone define it for a non-mathematician? Or would that be Taylorism? EDIT: The businessdictionry.com links explained it well enough. I think this has already been done with creativity, many times over. I imagine it is more harmful t

That's a great point. Hmmm... I wasn't considering that. Oops. I'm glad I mentioned it! Thanks!

I don't think there is much motivation for people to realize this. Being creative is more painful than not. The thesis of this article is absolutely true, and the most creative people know it. But, it's so much more comfortable to

That makes sense. I use Python the for most part. I feel like I have seen this happen with old libraries where they used to be very popular and maintained then became abandoned a few years ago.

Yes, and I will add the more cumulative result is more one of being judged, unincluded, and isolated, not one of acknowledgement that the communication was impaired. When I have a conversation or a job interview and someone asks me how it w

Well said. I think this particular mixup makes for a lot of extra confusion on the part of people trying to understand ASD.

I have only been coding for 1.5 years and this kind of comment is validating what I worry is a very bad habit. I hate using dependencies unless they have reached a certain level of legend in the community.

What’s missed is nuance , which a two-sided narrative or imagination can do nothing for.

HN readers are quick to be enthusiastic in celebrating urgent acknowledgement and critical response in the case of server outages and security breaches. Why limit this regard to that? Sure, saying there isn’t anything we can do about it is

I think “progressive” is a fairly American term, and puts a certain sheen over left politics. It’s tough to say whether it’s socialist or not because it never seems to matter. It’s more of a feeling, or a vibe, than a critique. It describes
