Classic post-rationalization imo. If someone had written "conditions are now optimal for Wagner to stage faux-coup stunt to get what he wants" on Wednesday or Thursday, I'd be impressed. But claiming afterwards that the ideal

Thanks, that is a good read! I had a similar thought earlier today while listening to a podcast about UFOs: the photos of mysteriously phenomena are always going to be blurry because that's what makes them mysterious. Better cameras ca

I'm not sure how specific an answer you're looking for. But I would say the options now are the same as they were before the layoffs. I think the layoffs were a reshuffling of resources as far as software developers are concerned.

Well I might have worded it a bit flippantly. I didn't mean to flabbergast anyone! But I don't think what I'm saying is that far from what's commonly accepted. Mutually assured destruction is the widely accepted doctrine

Why do you think this might be more likely? Would you wait to see if the other side is going to nuke another one of your cities?. I could see it starting that way. One side gambles that they can nuke one city and the enemy will deescalate t

B2B, online, recurring rev. Yes I only found one company doing what I had in mind. But I had to dig a bit to even find them. In truth I don't have the faintest idea how much revenue they're getting but I can do some leg work to ge

I think this is a really good point. When I was younger, I would probably have told myself that they haven't been successful because they're not smart enough or didn't try hard enough. Now I've been around the block and

Great questions, thanks. They are all things I've been asking myself. 1: I think it's valuable, yes. 2: yes it's very rare as far as I can tell. 3 & 4, that's hard to answer but I think that every startup faces that

Thanks. Just to clarify, I wasn't looking for this to use. I was looking to build it for other people, to solve a fairly well known problem. It's one of those things that needs a critical mass to really work well, like a social n

I've said before here that aliens as a hypotheses have little to no explanatory power. What I mean is that if you accept that people have witnessed this marvellous tech then either (a) it's possible and someone has figured out how

I don't know about the stats used in the article, but I agree with the gist of it: stats only tell you the chances of a statistically average person being killed, but that isn't very useful or insightful because of the enormous ra

With respect, the height of the bar to getting what you want is your problem, not mine. The gist of your post seems to be that your right to what you want is a forgone conclusion and if you don't see a way to get it legally, then I hav

As a huge supporter of the 2nd Amendment, I'm glad you posted this and I hope it doesn't get flagged. I could hardly disagree with you more than I do, but it's nice to see someone acknowledge that they just don't agree w

So you are saying your i140 can be pending indefinitely?

That's to become a permanent resident, not renew a H1B. You cannot renew a H1B indefinitely.

That makes sense to me. Now that I think about it there are a lot of mathematicians in the US doing maths in English who learned in some other language, and you never hear complaints about limitations of English. But I think the thrust of t

I must disagree. There are many examples of mathematical concepts that are much harder to learn than they need to be due to bad choices of names. One we have discussed here on HN many times is the names of "real" and "imagina
