Alphabet is the most profitable company in the world. For all the criticisms you can throw at Google, lacking a pile of money isn't one of them.

> more experience with niche hardware than literally anyone is a stretch. This is why I said "almost anyone." If I changed your words, I could disagree with you as well.

I don't necessarily disagree with your logic, but that's not what the legal term is referring to. Too many people on HN think law is what they want it to be--not what it is. That term is generally reserved for things that are tota

The author, Jeff Geerling, is a very intelligent person. He has more experience with using niche hardware than almost anyone on earth. If he does something, there's usually a good a priori rationale for it.

Nearly all people value good articulation over intelligence. This is why people who interview well get jobs over people who do good work. It's why Steve Jobs makes billions while Woz doesn't. And why Trevor Milton can bilk investo

Generally, no, because jobs can be reinstated and money recompensated. Irreparable harm is harm that is... well... not reparable.

Do you have any reason to believe you have a good algorithm to predict who these privileged few will be? Anecdotally, I've seen little evidence that being a good student at age X is reason to invest more heavily in that person going fo

Re: reliable energy. Even in low earth orbit, isn't sunlight plentiful? My layman's guess says it's in direct sun 80-95% of the time, with deterministic shade.

It depends on what you're doing. If your system is a linear regression on 30 features, you should probably use floating point. My recollection is fixed is prohibitively slower and with far less FOSS support.

I've used Auroa Units to do this. You can define the dollars dimension, and then all the nano-micro-whatever scale comes with.

All your price field messages are sent to the exchange and back via fixed point, so you are using fixed point for at least some of the process (unless you're targeting those few crypto exchanges that use fp prices). If you need to be e

Using your constitutionally granted executive powers is pretty standard.

Did that sound clever in your head? Again, the head of the executive branch can quash any charge he wants. You're the one contending that a person doing X is evidence that they support not-X.

Do you know what "de facto" means? I didn't say "de jure," and you're asking for de jure evidence.

DAs of all kinds have enormous discretion. A significant part of our legal system is entrusted to them to act honorably, regardless of what judges and legislators say. DAs can't force outcomes that judges say are incorrect, but DAs can

You need to read what I wrote more carefully. The entire point is that whoever is in power decides which law actually gets applied and to whom. Do you think for some reason that the Trump administration risks being prosecuted by the Trump a

While you are completely right about the impossible/conflicting legal standards here, this is not an unusual state of things. For example: it has been illegal to discriminate for a very long time, but it has also been de facto illegal
