I’m curious if EU antitrust watchdogs will try to stop this. The US will gladly accept it, since this is a massive plus for national security. This deal would mean a US entity owns pretty much every important chip architecture. It’s already

For landlords, you're correct. Rents will go down as more housing floods the market and the profiteering will cease. Look at Vancouver BC, where rents are significantly lower than land prices. But I don't entirely agree with this

Sitting in USD is more risky than tech. Tech is still the future. Recession isn’t hitting tech as hard as others, recent financial results prove that. The dollar is being printed on a massive scale. That’s what’s pushing up stocks. It’s not

That's so so many steps and requires knowledge of so many things. It has the big two fundamental problems, and a major third one: * Its value prop is poorly explained. As an engineer with a CS degree, I still barely understand what it&

I didn't say it's just complacency that keeps the credit system going. Low friction purchasing (complacency) absolutely plays a strong role. Trust is important, too (but is less strong than complacency) because the system wouldn&#

All central authorities are built on trust, fear, or complacency. Americans are complacent with the credit card system and trust it for the most part. The Experian breach has shown that breaches of trust are easily overlooked in favor of co

This is a great point that I hadn't thought of. Well said. I'd rather, as a company, risk managing all of my users' identities (vulnerability to a data breach, mitigated by a well-trained security team) than trust my users to

The UX isn't the most looming problem, but it's one that needs to be solved. My question is: How in the world would you convince people to use keys to verify their accounts to one unique, anonymous, identity, as the OP suggests? I

If anything, my bet is the future of identity is more centralized. Decentralized solutions, as I've read about them in their current form, require a significant amount of technical knowledge to understand. That is, to understand both w

The problem is that standardized tests worsen the gap between the privileged and not. Test performance correlates strongly with how much prep you receive. Wealthy, white & asian students have the advantage there. Not to mention that I a

Training a GAN to generate people without a significantly large dataset (if that's even possible) is probably just as difficult of a problem as just building the model you want in the end without sufficient data. Assuming those image s

The answer is no, since when you generate data, you either * Have a set of data as a "basis" 1. This diminishes the "equalization" factor since you need a lot of data to get a good approximation of the distribu

Interesting concept, but the models powering it need a lot of work. For example, searching "Apple" brings up "cider".

Here's a link to the basic boilerplate, if you'd like to see what the code looks like: https://github.com/electrode-io/electrode-boilerplate-univer... Looks interesting. If it's as scalable and performan

I had 4 internships in software engineering and 1 in web management during high school, if you include the summer afterwards. Four were paid, one was not. I also know quite a few friends with SWE internship experience in HS, but more often
