That's complete hogwash. Homeopathy's core idea is that you can magically negate a poison by diluting it billions or trillions of times into a cure usually to the point where there's no detectable component anyway. Experiment

And why would you need to spend billions then? And why would you need to buy anything but a sugar pill instead of some unproven bs which is completely unregulated and might be something from glass clippings to something that could genuinely

That's not how that worked - real estate data was always fairly public and if you had enough money it was straightforward to hoover it up - the change in approach was more about the last housing crisis and then ZIRP buoying huge tech a

People spend billions on homeopathy, so... is it?

Not capturing the information and being able to use it in the future is a huge opportunity cost, and idling on discord pays no bills.

Yep, I would expect a platform to let someone to post on how to do basic ad hygiene, it's weird that you would think that's not ok. There's literally thousands and thousands of videos on how to do this on youtube that have no

How can we claim any high ground when we are handing off the need to check for plagiarism to a tool that in effect is the same as the student using it to create plagiarized works. It doesn't even work, its non deterministic, and most i

I think the problem is we think using another KPI will obviously solve the problem. Using job placement as a rate just encourages nepotism and self dealing though - uni's have been caught giving say, an average salary of an outgoing de

Good luck, it is truly a tax on your ability to ship, but if you solve it well its a huge moat.

I think the big wins for something like this would be where you can say to a company "you are SOC2 compliant on your database if you do this and don't export data to your laptops" and frankly the people who are going to care

Alright, let's add "crypto, wire transfers, and forex/options trading" - does that make you happy? And all of those situations have some corporation you can sue if their mistake facilitated the theft - you think you&#x27

Well, sounds like you are trying hard not to draw the connection. Because pretty much only in crypto is owning a private key the same as permanent irrevocable access to your assets.

Yep, and then they are much easier to lose, step on, have drop out of your ear while you are running and disappear. I have literally found a half dozen sets of airpods out in the world, whereas before wireless earbuds became popular I never

That would include almost all of the human race, yes.

Hah! I have seen and cleaned this up several times now; spend 80% or more of the total lifetime spend of the company in say year 4-6 after you got some basic traction, borrowing like crazy, gain literally nothing, fire everyone involved, st

For context, one of those events started in 1945, and one in 2003. One started because we won a decisive war against the nation, in the other we invaded the country on a flimsy excuse. We have entirely different cultures, times, mores, medi

There's very little "behind" here, just a bunch of speculation on public articles, many of which are recent and not about how S3 scaled.

Does it? I think Blindsight (the book) had a good commentary on reason being a thing we think is a conscious process but doesn't have to be. I think most people talking past each other are really discussing whether the GPT is conscious

English allows your "must be" to be interpreted two common ways. 1. A comment about how in general there should be a way to do that, but not engaging in the topic, ceding all power to the corporations which would be glad to take i

Many studies have shown watching things happen over time is much more useful for the human mind than being presented it completed. That being said, one way to achieve this is to play things backward or occlude detail while you get to the fi

Yeah, pretty much my experience with any large open source project - I find that if its a solo activity or a small focused group my bugs might get any attention, but after there's more than 10 or so contributors I politely move on by.

What a law says and what in effect happens is not really the same. How do you GDPR a data breach? How do you DMCA a data breach?
