The productivity in office suits certain work styles that are people heavy. The argument for and against remote work isn't as dependent on the productivity time as people think. Sure, some people are unproductive for periods between 9a

What are you accomplishing daily at 6-9 am when most people aren't logged in? I know there's like a lot of individual work but when do you work with other people? Do you just work less efficiently during the day you mean?

There is no widespread condemnation of ahmaddiyas anywhere outside muslim nations. Whoever the fuck his group's first leader was is irrelevant. They may worship a false prophet, they may worship a stone, they could worship an imaginary

Yes, India has many faults but a long policy of offering refuge. They had refugee crises when the greeks were marching to their lands as well and had to resolve it. Of course, some recent decisions to favour hindu refugees is discriminative

What bias? I never even mentioned the other Muslim nations. What concern is it of theirs that Abdus existed? His own land disowning him is to their utter and ever lasting shame. This is of the order of the castration of Turing. The neighbou

So they say but tons of adults get glasses only later in life. I’ve been using computers since I was maybe 12 years old (very early 2000s). I finally had to get glasses when I was 25. Even then it was just a -0.50 correction. It deteriorate

They disowned their one Nobel laureate and maybe one of the greatest minds of his generation because of his Islam being different from their Islam. That place is a failed nation. Thank fuck for the internet so the people aren’t insulated fr

Yes. Not a bank.

Lol how stupid are these people. Just make a bank that only lends then.

It isn't just finance and economics, although I totally agree with you that they're especially bad. The forum has become too wide in scope and started attracting the usual online idiot horde that dominates all other sites already.

These people haven't lived in NYC. Even at 10 pm, I'd prefer a cab. I had to travel at 8.30 pm from lower east the other day and I was keeping my heart in my throat for some reason. Not that every ride is like that but some of the

It’s not the mobile OS so much as the fact that I want something I can troubleshoot easily and isn’t hidden behind several layers of UX. KeePass satisfies that. I just shared my mom’s database file with me on Drive so I can also access it i

My mom cannot understand how to use auto fill etc, but what I did was to set up a KeePass database file for her on her google drive and just sync it up on every device. She refuses to use anything but an android and she acquiesced to an iPa

I’d trust them more. They’re likely behind the same security barrier as the rest of Google’s / Apple’s services. They’re probably getting attacked all day every day and holding up so I’d imagine they’re way more robust than most smalle

There are no closed form solutions to uncomputable problems. You can encode them in math. You can also encode them in a program. The result is the same. In fact, the absolute limit of computability is so interesting that people have explore

The first part of your answer is incorrect about programming in a general sense (not the particular software programming most of HN does). I push it so far back as to call it programming in a computer science sense, which is very simply jus

I skimmed the thread but that is such a stupid thread. He’s using the number of stars estimate to prove books are wrong?! Wtf?! ChatGPT makes much much more basic mistakes. It’s like some mass delusion has gripped people. You can make LLM’s

All of crypto is a fraud in a literal sense because it is self referential and a zero sum game. But the regulators are not willing to face that question so the companies keep going. In that sense, the concept of a token created by you and t

He made several stupid claims on his twitter about trading that anyone in the industry would immediately infer was a complete misunderstanding of the basics of finance. As did SBF and Caroline. Nothing about them was smart. It was a lot of

In a lot of cases, twitter’s model is better. In topic oriented websites (reddit is a good example), it becomes a shithole if you happen to share any interest that hits closer to 100k people. So a math or programming oriented topic is effec

1) this definitely happens if your timeline is on the algorithmic version and not the chronological one. 2) the problem is precisely that I do not want to know what my very topic oriented follow is doing in terms of political tweeting. I’m

I think the interviews are a misstep. He’s taking too much meth to think clearly even though he was once obviously a very smart person. The insistence on innocence reminds me of a small child shouting indignantly that they didn’t do anythin

I’m a year older than him and in finance without an Ivy League education or any pedigree and I can swear to you that innocence act fools no one except people outside the field. This is like a programmer saying he drowned the company because

This is not about the hacker mentality. This is a researcher mentality from a daily life perspective. Some people just aren’t curious. I like to understand the math and the computing models behind many things I use. That doesn’t mean I want

Jupyter is incredibly powerful. I think a lot of the surprise (which I also had) is when you come from compiled languages and see the huge difference between running a compiled machine code vs just some faux interpreter. Python doesn’t have

I hope you’re being sarcastic rather than thinking paper currency is used for international transactions.

This is incorrect. The usd in existence are just reserves. They are not actual spendable money beyond circulating somewhere inside the plumbings of global banking. Said plumbings are things even experts do not fully grasp so I’ll assume no

This is not a policy choice. Step outside, touch grass, then open a macro Econ 101 book and understand how and why inflationary economies were created and settled upon as a working model. A non inflationary economy literally cannot expand.

The US is incredibly strong. That does not mean the dollar is in good shape. Too much strength for your currency of exchange / account is a bad thing. It is why crypto cannot be a currency even if the blockchain was rock solid tech. No
