I wonder if autopilot networks will eventually reroute vehicles around bug-prone locations like this. The only problem is recognizing bug-prone locations. It is interesting to think of some geographic locations as wells of danger that are b

I am far from an expert in these matters so I can only quote others who seem to know more. Peter Schiff sounds like a gold salesman at times (he is afaik), but he makes the argument that rather than fixing the issues that caused the bubble

College was rough for me, I felt best sleeping on a 3am to noon schedule and half of my required classes could only be scheduled before noon. I managed to get through it but still felt like I was unable to learn as effectively as I could ha

I'm not fan of conspiracy theories but that's where my head has been too. None of the Cambridge Analytica stuff is as bad for facebook as the media is asserting, and none of the data Cambridge Analytica acquired is available anymo

It's taken me a while to get to this point, but I enjoy the challenge of managing both sides of the house. I've learned that if I participate in a non-tech meeting, there is a high probability that I will be useless at coding the

They abstract most of it away. Marketers can set specific targeting criteria and can get a high level estimate of how an ad will perform. Beyond that it's tracking impressions, clicks, split testing, etc. The app API was different unti

This is only the first major company to experience an issue like this. More will follow. If it wasn't Facebook, it would have been another.

Always a good approach, but also recognize that not every duct tape solution is worth productizing.

Diverse crews bring more information and perspectives to the table, and among intelligent, open-minded people the best ideas are generally adopted. The more ideas and perspectives there are to choose from and combine, the more likely the gr

If you're not an accredited investor and want to invest in a startup you don't have many options. Cryptocurrencies unlock that for a lot of people, even if the startups are absolutely awful.

I think you miss my point and that you've never tried to sell a technology solution to non-technical consumers. The world is bigger than crypto speculators.

The general public shouldn't be excited about blockchain. It should be hidden by abstraction to them, like multithreading and device drivers. Products intended for non-technical users that tout their blockchain technology are either re

In Clinton years, conservatives called CNN the Clinton News Network. If that's the objective period you're talking about then all you need to do is look at how "liberal media" is discussed today and draw the parallels. T

Same reason you did. Right place, right time. If you were omniscient and knew everything that happened in the universe up to bow, you'd be able to perfectly predict the next instant, and the instant after that. It was only after I unde

Your experiences led you to "choose" differently. I had the same, though it took a while. Not everyone has those same experiences.

Wealthy people hold almost all of the power in America and the cultural reaction is to make sure other voices can be heard. I find that praiseworthy rather than something to disparage. I've known many wealthy people and many (not all)

I buy things that become more valuable over time. Investing has become a fun way for me to "spend" that cash I otherwise hoard. Spending money on anything else is very difficult for me.

The social issues are real. Water quality probably plays a larger role than anyone wants to admit. Beyond that, the puberty hormone cocktail does plenty of damage on its own. Most of the factors are out of any individual's control. How
