I think you're missing an important way of looking at DNA. It is clear that most people view the details in their DNA as being specific, private information about themselves and want to have control of what can be done with it. DNA is

My personal model for how to handle the relationship of tech manager vs lead developer (actually all developers) is that the manager should definitely supervise and understand the decisions made. If she has concerns about them, be straight

What you suggest is that insurance, as practiced for the past thousand years, not exist at all then.

It is probably wrong to think of DNA as personal property. Its public use more closely resembles a commons which is shared by many. We don't give individuals the right to pollute air, for instance, simply because they own property t

This article is blatantly false; a single tweet from 7 years ago which was apparently a sarcastic response to a real anti-vax comment does not make her 'Anti-Vaxx'. She was reportedly current on her flu shot when she died.

Companies do not create jobs. Consumer demand for products and services creates jobs. As long as the tax structure nourishes a strong middle class we will be a prosperous and stable society, and capital will flow just fine.

One indicator is the number of large venture IPOs. I see Dell going public again, for instance, as an indicator of Michael Dell not wanting to carry the private concentration of assets as a risk any further.

> Do MMT proponents just advocate literally printing money that is never tied to an instrument to be paid back? They don't see any problem with that, and they have some evidence to support the idea.

I think I know what you're getting at; I'd like to read a much better comment than this one explaining what you see as the core truth of what the author is saying.

I'm assuming you mean wide-scale commercial internet service providers and the world-wide web application(s). The internet existed long before 1984.

It depends on how you measure that. They certainly were the first to make serious money by using simple regression to suggest 'people also bought'. In general I think that all of the personal surveillance / categorization wi

There is a difference between iterative or incremental development and agile. Iterative processes have been used for 70-80 years. The first example on the wiki page [1] is the Mercury rocket program. [1] https://en.wikipedia.or

This is a fatally flawed analogy. A more apt analogy would be one involving a professional engineer designing a system that creates uncontained electrical arcs for use in an environment known to be explosive.

I used a 'typical' driver earning $75,000/year in 1975. $75,000 today, after expenses, is considered well-payed. New drivers earn $20,000 to $30,000/year. According to the BLS CPI inflation calculator[1], $75,000 in 19

Truck driver earnings today are roughly the same, in nominal dollars, as they were in 1975. So over the past 40 years they've taken a 70% pay cut. They are getting squeezed so tightly a lot of them don't even make minimum wage.

I've never been much in to trends like TDD, and just now heard of TCR but it reminds me of a bug that once happened in the GHC Haskell compiler: if your code failed to type-check the source file was deleted. There was some discussion

There are several comments here about Khosla and his efforts to convert public right of way to private property on the California Coast. It's fair to ask, "why is this relevant to a video of his views on the future (tech)?"
