This is like the stupidest voluminous comment written by someone who has never observed a market for any length of time. Just the first paragraph is enough to dismiss the rest of this, even if it is accurate lol

This is not strictly true. The recent Nobel was such an expedition which was ignored by scientists in the 40s-70s as an esoteric philosophical question that cannot be answered. It is still not “answered” per se but Bell’s formulations leave

In most companies the people who stick around will turn out to be the mediocre workers. Which is fine. Not everywhere needs to be staffed with the second coming of von Neumann’s. But the pattern is generally that competent people will leave

The idea of “putting information in people's hands” was seen as a net good due to the pattern starting from the printing press in the west. However the source of information was still controlled by the elites. This mostly creates probl

Any good articles covering this setup? I was looking for a one stop solution for streaming and file management but it always seemed like many systems had to be combined or I had to pay other companies.

The explicability of our decision making is like 95% of our progress. It is why we can identify biases evolution builds into us but we need to fight against. Or try and justify something beyond mere intuition. This is like asking how much m

Sharepoint is complicated enough as a system that it requires its own certification programs. People should really learn to get competent IT and ask them questions instead of trying to figure it out without any relevant skills and then comp

This is my answer too. The main git book is very well written. I stopped reading just before it got into rebasing and had to pick that up from the internet due to work requirements, but the book was so solid in explaining the basics that I

No it is an example exactly in the incorrect way that you took it. Just because electricity has been relatively constant in specification doesn’t mean it’ll always be the case. You can work with that assumption up to even a third or fourth

Indeed. But that is both from a less globalized and less open times. There have always been people who have recognized social idiocies and questioned why other people follow them blindly. We are not unique in that regard. Where we are uniqu

You can. Package everything you need with the environment and you’re done. Now whether future versions of whatever container you choose to run it in will support establishing the environment is a separate detail. There is no answer. You can

Before trying so hard to put your thoughts into the ether, stop for a moment and ask yourself if you can’t find the answer to that question. Is everyone on the fucking planet wrong? Or are you being stupid? Are stocks different from crypto?

I mean that level of breakage is good. You can’t keep running outdated stuff while expecting to interact with the wider world.

White collar work in the modern era is also very unrestricted. I can slack off during most of the day if I want (and nothing urgent comes up) and my manager will neither check nor care. Because of 24/7 systems, I can completely bunk fr

Lol it cannot borrow 10 trillion $$. Where are these make believe numbers coming from? And it can carry the employees at somewhere between moderate to severe risk of bankruptcy (in the case of amazon, it is lower than moderate). If you have

This is not a reasonable expectation for a digital assistant. At all. It is reasonable for a hacker to expect it. But the majority of the public doesn’t care that Apple tries to push Apple Music. If this was sold as a separate service howev

1) this is not the market. It’s just blockchain txns. 2) trust me when I say, no one in crypto except some very very select exchanges actually know how to make a market trading software. They think they can compete with NYSE which is large

From fdic insured banks, I’d imagine the answer is yes.

Yes, I feel so cheated that all I needed to do to get money for my ideas was to just talk like an ayn rand novel protagonist. At least Zuckerberg did all this but was legitimately a genius. Made sense that bankers put up with that shit cos

It’s not just that. But like if I made up bullshit like “the emerging market populations are growing hard and will strain earth’s resources. Our startup needs to kill them to save the planet, here’s a log Utility function to explain it”, so

The super stupidity of using math to dazzle people around you is my greatest lesson from this. In my highly technical field, I can use math without treating it like some precious scripture. But it’s good to know it is so unfamiliar to a nor

Regulation saved the economy from the worst of it. But this is the kind of uninformed ignorance that is common in these parts. It has been consistently proven that regulation and central banking have prevented the worst of excesses. But liv

1) I’m not trying to convince you. That is a fool’s errand in my online experience. I’m far more likely to come across adamant people than I am to come across sensible ones, so there’s no point trying to convince anyone. 2) if you think the

That’s because I’m not in real estate. I’m in finance - which is what my comment is about. Notice how I have no opinion of housing prices, only their effect on the system. In simple terms, I understand loans, debt and derivatives. Not actua

Because you clearly have no idea what you’re saying beyond the surface idea of “S0c1alizing L0s53s bAd”. Depth of knowledge is always and everywhere a good thing. Strive for it.

I’m in the field. I likely know more about it than you ever will. So yes, trust me bro. Or don’t. It’s a free country.
