To call professors "lecturers" is a straw man. Sure, I had classes, too, that I didn't attend because the material was straightforward and covered in a text book, but other classes were not like that. I got the most value fro

There is a position in between "all rental arrangements are okay" and "no rental arrangements are okay". I think the parent and others that dislike rent-seeking would have no ethical objection if the landlord charged an

This is only a useful comment if it includes an alternative (and also widely used) definition, or at least a critique of the definition provided. In fact, the wikipedia article on startups includes the grow fast component, suggesting to me

Well, it's easier to see the distribution of distances. Knowing something is the 3rd closest is less useful that knowing it is actually 30 minutes away.

If you click on A, you will be able to see if it is close to B or not. Or, more generally, clicking on a few points in a cluster on this map should give you an idea of whether you'll be able to travel easily between places once you get

I think part of the point is that it's not the "best job" if you have to work 40+ hours a week, at least for some people.

"liberal on economic issues" means people/companies are free to do whatever they want with their money and property. So artists and event-planners are free to sell tickets to scalpers, scalpers are free to sell tickets to con

This is an interesting analogy. > Bikes use far fewer resources to accomplish the same thing Bikes use a lot more time, which is a pretty important resource to most people. When I drive, that's usually why. So, are the additional fe

This is a strange story. Why did you download and install Atom and decide to test it for the first time on a large log file? Did you think that was what Atom would be good at?

Original title was something like "Enigma's ICO hacked, $500,000 stolen. CEO reused password. No 2FA." For one, my understanding is that the Enigma's "website, email lists and other property" was compromised, n

Can we get the title fixed? The editorialized title is misleading/inaccurate. (edit: Thanks, it's fixed now.)

Why would they care about extra traffic referred to their site if they can't profit from traffic (other than with even more traffic)?

If CB can't easily allow customers to withdraw the BCC, they probably can't easily exchange the BCC themselves either? (I recognize that people not being able to withdraw the coins at all is an issue, just curious also about the a

It's more like, while transporting the pregnant cows, one bird jumped on each cow in the trailer along the way, and now you're demanding X gives you not just the cows, but the birds, too, even though they're hard to catch.

I don't really follow these cryptocurrencies very closely. I assume that Coinbase is sitting on keys/wallets that own Bitcoin belonging to their customers, which would mean that they are now also sitting on keys/wallets that

Upthread I see arguments for why there won't be many fewer cars, because everyone still needs to get to/from work and they do that at roughly the same time. Ride-sharing is what helps. Parking outside of the city has nothing to

So all the cars also drive back out of the city around 9am and back in again around 3pm? That sounds like more cars on the road (over the course of a day) rather than less.

> The metaphor to stealing simply fails to illuminate any of them. I think it illuminates that you got to have/experience something without paying for it, despite the fact that the distributor wanted you to.

It really seems to me that the knee-jerk reaction here is the one against the shoplifting analogy. All analogies are approximations; you're meant to focus on the similarities instead of the differences. If you're choosing to foc

Isn't that 3 dimensions (amplitude, time, and frequency)? The plot of course fills 2 spatial dimensions and uses color to represent the 3rd dimension. But I don't know very much about this.

Obviously I agree that scientific results must be reproducible. But I also realize that it's simply infeasible to repeat the entirety of every study, and much less to also go to the effort to write and peer-review those repeated result
