While this is true in theory, I don't know if it's been established in fact. There's some sort of rumor/myth/legend that Southwest's open seating is most efficient in practice, but I can't see any data to

With a little googling, at the very least it's clear to me that some form of back-to-front is most efficient, and Southwest inevitably doesn't do that because the first people on want to be closest to the front in order to get off

You live in a place where the government is for the people, not for themselves.

Seems like a testable hypothesis. Choose the four times a year that the stock is at a fair price, and buy when it goes below it and sell when it goes above it?

Oh, waaaahhhh. "The mechanism by which GOP blocked it was different from OUR mechanism. The proper way is to waste everyone's time by parading him in front of the Senate, belittling him and his accomplishments publicly, and then r

You're smart. Here's a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nominations_to_the_Sup... Notice that whenever there was an A1-A2 party split, especially when a nomination was approaching an election, eith

I was just bootlicking the Fox news narrative as hard as you are bootlicking the NYT. It was parody. My real opinion is that no one is more trustworthy than the other. They're all people. But there are constitutionally delegated duties

Yes. We do it all the time. And at the margins, sure, it's unfair. But when a random poster using sophomoric logic is going on some pretentious rant about knowing more than Neil Gorsuch, all you need to do is note that one person has s

Insofar as you think you were responding to what you identified (and then conveniently changed to fit your narrative) to be his arguments, I would say it's not hard to see the difference between a law changing every 4-8 years versus on

The fact that you think this is hypocrisy, and are willing to voice that "opinion" (i.e. regurgitating what some news outlet told you) with such assuredness within this community using such passionate and extreme language is why I

ACB and Jackson? I am about as well-versed in the law as any non-lawyer, and I have 10% at best of the legal knowledge of either of them. The hubris on legal matters of some of the people here is laughable. It's the equivalent of some

This is so incredibly ignorant, which is fine. We're on a startup forum after all--not a conlaw round table. We aren't supposed to be experts. But to think you have some superior intellectual standing on this issue compared to any

That's very charitable. A less charitable view might be that corrupt, know-nothing political friends use their ability to "interpret a gap" to make sweeping legislation with no accountability and in-house courts to adjudicate

Well, for example, the SEC has used a law from 80 years ago about retaining memos as justification for billions in fines against companies whose employees used whatsapp to say "the market is crazy" (or similarly benign things). Al

This isn't actually clear. The duty to legislate arguably cannot be transferred... even with legislation.

Maybe. I just think of all the other things that my eyes want to be doing. I figure that would interfere too much in the usefulness. But i agree. We should just test out all the wacky ideas and see what works best.

Explain the math on leveling up. Each year, Meta hires more Jrs than there exist L7+'s at the entire company.

Those aren't entirely overlapping skills. There are plenty of founders whose attitudes and generalist skill sets make them unhireable in the management ranks of FAANG.

Listen. You don't get tenure confirming centuries-known ideas. You get it upending known doctrines. So if your research doesn't upend the doctrine, find a way to make your title say it does

Every linked list discussion I've ever gotten into ends with someone finding a way to modify the std::list data structure in such a way that totally breaks the definition of the LL data structure. We may as well call it "the law o

Given how much of today's computer needs are dependent on a database query, this is no surprise. Who cares about the micros you gain with added efficiency while there's a 100ms db query return in the path?

Linked list benchmarks are amazing.... if you don't thrash your cache on inserts so all its elements are contiguous. You get all the benefits of a vector and a linked list, without the reality that linked lists mostly don't get po

To add, this is a part if the legal process that isn't well understood by the public, and often misrepresented in the media. It's not even well-understood by experts, frankly, but it's important to note that this is a stage i

Yeah. This is what I imagined should be how these things work. But it is tricky. The system needs to pattern match on what types you've been using, if possible. So you need to vector search for code to do that. Then you need to vector
