This is a massive sign that Trump's double down strategy is failing badly. He only has one play: Be a bully and double down any time someone fights back. It works when you have the leverage but as soon as you don't anymore you loo

The argument I am making is that you can only say something was cheaper if it provided the same level of service or better for less money. In the case of the bus transition it provided worse service as indicated by utilization dropping. I a

That is a statement that really needs citation and qualification to back it up. I'd argue that 'cheaper' is used in a vacuum here. By that I mean that the point of mass transit isn't how much it costs, but how much value

I am 50/50 on this particular argument for why OSes are in a rut. I think there is actual competition in the form of the various distros out there and they have passionate advocates with real skill trying new things but they don't

Looks like there is some negative feelings towards this comment. So if we aren't in a rut, what are the big revolutionary OS advancements that have happened since this time?

I'm just surprised that it feels like very little deep innovation in the OS world has happened since windows 2k. 3.11 brought networking in. 95 brought true multitasking to the masses and 2k brought multi-processing/multi-user (ye

Why does the market like this? Tariffs are in place and unpredictability is now the norm. Tomorrow something new crazy will come out and then the next day and the next day. Even if US markets like this right now, the long term damage has be

Is there a solid 'trust this paper' site out there? I would think that something could be built that rated papers on how much they have been reproduced, supported or refuted by other papers.

These cherry-picking arguments are a huge problem and we need to acknowledge that they are. So, we focus on one problem and ignore all the benefits that helped us in that time? The world-wide effort to understand the disease and rapidly dev

I keep seeing people advocating that the idea that we should build everything, and every piece or everything, here is a good one. Why? Is this just an isolationist dream? The reductive, absurd, extreme of this is why don't individual p

Trump has two basic strategies: 1) Double down because the one with the most money/power will eventually win with that strategy. 2) Bully everyone he thinks has less money/power than him so he can use strategy #1. The thing about

The obvious methodology at work here is 'fire everyone then hopefully re-hire only what is blindingly obviously needed'. There are many, many problems with this approach in a business setting but even more from a governmental sett

This is the payout difference between perato optimal and minmax solutions. Trust is gone so the sum value to all players is lower overall than it was before. The only thing is the rest of the world still has trust with each other so the ult

This will probably lead to what, I think, python has led to in general: A lot more things tried quicker and targeted things that stay in a faster language. All in all this is a great move. I am looking forward to playing with it for sure.

Sadly people keep buying these types of devices. Every time I walk by modern devices all I can think is how I wish I could buy them without the fear of what they will do once I turn them on. I don't want a new car because of the spying

But isn't there still the kernel of an idea here for a package management system that intelligently decides to build based on platform? Seems like a lot of performance to leave on the table.

This is actively improving health outcomes for millions of people so of course insurance won't cover it and it is being taken away from consumers. If the shortage is over, why does it cost $1k or even $500? Sounds like there is still a

I think the evidence says you can have both. When I say 'the evidence' I mean just looking at nature. In nature you clearly see animals and plants that are massively more efficient at tasks than their ancestors all while living in
