In these cases, having a caps lock key somewhere on the keyboard probably makes sense. But sort of by its definition, you aren’t using caps lock anywhere near as much as return yet it takes the same amount of space. Swapping caps lock and l

Yes, I agree Apple spends much more on iPhone development than OS research. However, I'd be willing to bet that they pay their OS devs more. Further, the reason Apple gets to spend less on OS research is that everyone is working on OS

This is still false. As a concrete example, see the timeline for MacOS ASLR rollout. The fact that you think things like Haiku or Redox are revolutionary and you aren't talking about kernel locking schemes, file systems, protection aga

This is just wrong. Operating Systems are an area of extensive ongoing research. New and wonky OS's are coming out all the time (Hurd, nix, Qubes, etc). Even macOS itself is being overhauled pretty frequently (i.e. APFS, whole disk enc

States and cities often give large corporations preferential treatment to maintain a footprint there. I'm not sure if this is the case for Schwab/SF, but if they are getting a break then announcing a move might be a time for SF&#x

Why should it be a linear relationship? If talent is normally distributed then supply should decrease exponentially. Assuming that a company can afford it, wouldn't this make a linear demand produce an exponential forcing on salary?

I was skeptical, then I checked [1] and apparently even if you separate by state you only need a household income of $512k to be in the top 1%. High, but certainly not unfathomably so to HN readers. 1 - https://www.cnbc.com/

I specifically addressed profitability and why boring would lead to profitability in my original argument. Publishers, in this context meant the people who are responsible for signing off on the funding of movies.

I don't think superhero films are as popular for their themes as their predictability. The Avengers universe hit on a formulaic, y-o-y predictable movie strategy and Marvel has been taking it to the bank. By franchise, superhero films

I don't think anyone is arguing that they're the absolute worst carmaker. A comparison to Toyota or Honda would have been a better choice. I don't want a power plant that is advertised as "more earthquake resistant than

Perhaps even more relevant to your argument, most classes of problems lend themselves to an adaptive learning rate. I.e. we would like to learn our separator or weights quickly when we have no information but we want learning to slow as we

Even if Robinhood goes after them, they don’t have any assets or money. Unless there are criminal charges (which there might be), what could actually happen?

You don't even need concepts of good or bad to make this argument. This is just consistent with Blizzard's already political messaging. They are supporting LGBT rights, of course, they would be anti-anti-LGBT

The point is that this is a policy that is hard to enforce because it is ambiguous. The system worked as intended if you think that the point was to make only the most well-financed and technically savvy advertisers able to receive a benefi

It's not pedantry at all. Look at F1's battle with cigarette advertising for a concrete example. Certainly, explicit advertising is easy to stop, but there are many ways of advertising things surreptitiously. A great example of th

This is a completely different scenario from the op, but I don't think anyone projects Taiwan lasting more than a couple of hours if China decides to invade. Their only hope is that there would be a multinational response. The US certa

I think the point is that if you were to scale Assisi up to ~20m, with a similar population density as Sao Paulo, it would still be ugly. It's a problem of population density.

I started with Headspace, but feel like I get significantly higher returns without it. Something about having to concentrate on someone else's voice that makes the whole experience a little bit less effective for me. That said, I'
