Let's be brutally honest - most of the successful businesses are about selling harmful (mostly in the long run - people should be myopic, not entirely dumb) bullshit. And you have to possess certain qualities to succeed in that, which

For me it does. The only side effect is I can't enter any office without taking antinauseants.

I don't think physical automatic wire transaction cost is more expensive than SMS. High transfer/transaction fees in most banks are, on contrary, are subsidizing losses from other risky activities.

With recent introduction of cheap high-RAM VPS and dedicated boxes like Scaleway, I don't feel this is a problem anymore. Running of Clojure on Java gives excellent multithreading environment - I personally don't want to sacrific

Fascinating. My 2014 2.5 GHz i7 MbPro is just 10-15% faster in 7z benchmark.

In this type of the task only payoff makes sense. With 30B+ paths and additional f(x) of path and sum of paths, real life optimization is not really possible - I'll bet in the middle of the night that some simple heuristics (e.g. prox

I think you don't understand what "to scale" means.

Terrorism scales, it is fat tailed distribution (9/11 again, anyone?). Cancer, guns and car accidents - no. Article is plain bullshit.

The one who erred (and recovered) once is more valuable than the one who never made mistakes.

The hard truth is that nobody loves voluntary slaves, and even less of all - their masters. > These people make it seem like employment-based immigration is not as respectable or legitimate, compared to refugee/asylum and family-bas

Have to say, JavaScript itself also can't "just use" all the JS stuff.

"system died from autoimmune disease" - this is gold! I can't imagine why would anyone want to have an untested set of semibuggy functions just to replace them at will. However, I can imagine the tinkering code approach, not
