Sadly, this is not new. Even in the Bible it warns: "There is one who pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;" - Pr 13:7 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dx/r1/lp-e/1001070124/16870

Really insightful comment. It's true. C compilers are so optimized, the day of re-write in assembly have long passed for most of us.

The rankings mattered to me when applying to schools because it seemed like a useful metric to judge the quality of education I would get, and the usability of that education. When you're making one of the biggest decisions of your lif

Sadly, every human attempt at creating a successful system of allocating capital begins to decay as time passes. With all respect to Andreesen, it is unlikely any of these problems will be solved before the entire post-WWII system collapses

Interesting. What do you mean that our immune system is without par? Do we have a better immune system than other primates and other animal groups?

I would love to see a study that shows how much money publicly traded companies are keeping on hand as a percentage of revenues over the last 75 years. My guess is: (1) The long period of relative peace post WW-II and (2) the collapse of th

Billions? That sounds like a vast overestimate, no? Are there any programs that approach a billion lines of code?

I see. I'm going more off of mindshare during this whole Coronavirus pandemic. I only hear zoom mentioned in the media and in social media. Organizations that are just now adopting seem to be defaulting to Zoom. All anecdata, I admit.

Interesting. I see. This helps. I haven't looked at market share numbers. Just observing mindshare. But this is good to know.

Lol. Hilarious. Who finances something like this? I have to imagine the robbers knew they had a buyer before they executed the theft. I mean... you can't just steal a Van Gogh and then, only after, start ask around for who's in th

I agree, I don't understand why such wildly profitable tech companies willfully ignore live support... I mean, even a paid option. As a business, I would gladly pay $99 for a phone call if I have a high-pri issue. I remember using that

This warning is from the Bible, written well over 2,000 years ago. "Woe to him who accumulates what is not his—For how long?—And who makes even greater his own debt! Will not your creditors rise up suddenly? They will wake up and viole

Wow! Finally a way to easily filter Netflix by rating and IMDb quality! How are you monetizing this? I ask out of concern that this thing sticks around!

Probably, the better way to view these measures by various organizations is in terms of liability. Child gets sick at home, that's on the parents. Child gets sick in a dorm, that's on MIT. That might explain a lot of the drastic r

Lower violence rates period? Or lower gun violence rates? Don't violence rates vary quite a bit from country to country? For example, parts of Central America are terribly violent. I'm also not saying that TV is the sole contribut

I'm absolutely fine with that. :-) After all, businesses exist to provide a service, and when I pay for that service if the owner gets to buy his wife shoes, that doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that I can't walk in

I am EXCITED to see how this plays out. It is astounding to me how locked down certain medical tests are. Like, if I want an EKG, why can't I just walk in to a place and get it done at a reasonable price? And without a doctor's ap
