Think of it more as supply/demand and marginal revenue. To simplify - a company should hire more/pay more until the marginal value of that employee < the marginal employee cost. If the 2nd best option for CEO would result in in

Make a 256 bit password. Problem solved?

Yeah, that’s why I dislike it as well. Imagine the same “sign in with google popup” but it’s just a floated div on the page. A user who uses the “continue as button” might be comfortable typing their password in there, thinking it’s part of

Or in SF, that’s the cost of 1 employee. Only consider running it yourself if your compute is by far your largest cost, or if it’s a huge component of what you’re selling (for instance a cloud backup service, a video hosting service, a CDN,

Imagine watching a movie with this. I believe apple actually does something like this, slightly delaying the video playback so the AirPods can buffer and the video stays in sync. But this only works if the video player and headphones can c

I don’t think anyone is arguing for totally 0 checks. People just want to not need to unpack their bags, empty their pockets, take off their shoes/belt, and to be able to carry a water bottle.

Compression doesn’t imply decompression… see JPEG, H264, etc…

This isn’t true. “If anyone can verify a transaction, it's obviously traceable.” is probably false. And you can verify all Monero transactions.

This makes sense, intuitively; if I gave you "8f434346648f6b96df89dda901c5176b10a6d83961dd3c1ac88b59b2dc327aa4" (sha256('hi')), and you quickly told me its K complexity was 2, I would become skeptical that sha256 was a o

I would guess it’s about genetic variety. If a female duck had complete control, genetic variety would likely decrease quickly as fewer, genetically similar males fathered all the children. This group of ducks would be more susceptible to d

Sounds very much Uber’s fault, although there is not quiet enough information. It’s perfectly reasonable for a payments API to return “error: not enough funds” on the first call and “error: rate limit exceeded” on the second. This just read

Ah yes, the “Tens of millions of years ago, the climate was also different!” silly excuse. Modern humans have been around a minuscule fraction of that time. If we are affecting the climate in ways that normally take millions of years, “ther

This is completely inaccurate. Every millisecond of load time affects conversion so much that they would trade huge amounts of CPU to speed up a page load.
