Maybe it would help if Boeing 737's crash wasn't making the case for such incompetence.

He doesn't have to be. Tech luminaries who can understand compromise will figure out what will practically work after listening to him rant. The world still needs raving mad prophets like him to help us understand where the poles are.

Error correction, packet broadcasting per node, dynamic load rebalancing... the real world costs of any network increase proportional to the square of the nodes.

by lr4444lr 3y ago
Yeah, but generally network costs grow with n^2 the number of users.

Because it kept them under the FCC's thumb as common carriers, forcing them into inefficiencies to comply with regulations. There's a ton of stuff I want the govt. more involved with on the internet: data privacy, clamping down

That comes with exclusive content, though - not the same thing at all as what the NN acolytes were warning us would happen if common carrier status was lost. The goal-post shifting is not admirable. We were told there would be the end of th

The sky was supposed to fall if net neutrality were abrogated, and IME, that hasn't happened. The only change I (and people I know) witnessed was throttling once broad data limits were exceeded, which IIRC wasn't what was at stake

Sorry for my ignorance, but what harmful bacteria predominant to meat will live for that long on a surface? After using my wooden cutting boards for meat, I throughly scrub them and let them dry for at least 48 hours before even putting the

Ignore the naysayers, and keep posting back when you have major updates. Also keep in mind that it doesn't have to be full featured to be incredibly usable and useful. Would love to have a minimalist browser that can run HTML/CSS&

I did state though that all second derivatives of u would have L^p norms bounded by that of the Laplacian. Kleinermann asked me for an elementary explanation of this, but I couldn't think of one. I haven't the foggiest idea of

Liability. It all comes back to liability. I can't tell you what kind of cases have legal standing against YouTube for showing videos of an alleged abuser, but I trust that many smart and less scrupulous lawyers could.

Because it can't borrow as easily of its credit rating is weakened by carrying a high debt load. You might as well ask why it issues debt at all if it can just print. Why bother having a central bank if we could just have a treasury?

How much is executive comp really at a publicly traded company as a percentage of revenue? 40% raises for most employees across the board probably dwarfs it. I don't see how stock buybacks relate more directly to anything here than r

They were in no position to negotiate back then. Plus, there was probably heavy influence from retirees to save the pension fund.

They have the highest accountability.

My unsolicited advice: stick with a company you like for a while. You will earn the right to work on hard problems that resist simple solutions and mere "plumbing". And those problems will come up sooner or later. Keep an eye out

Everyone thinks their own #%$@ doesn't stink. "Aesthetically pleasing" code often looks different to me than other people.

I avoid all 4 of those last things you mentioned as much as possible. Now you have me worried about milk! Will casein really fry my synapses like the vegans tell me? I thought that was just a scare tactic to save animals.

I met my wife on OkCupid. The original format attracted a much smarter and more worldly crowd of women, to put it bluntly, than the other services. I exited the dating game before Tinder, but if OkCupid lost that quirky, artsy, college educ

100% agree. I think it is because we can't get out act together to create a professional organization to gatekeeps credentialing, so that we can "police our own". Hence, the whole tech interview drama, because there is no uni

And those 20% won't even be compensated 2-3x higher under a union: likely just in lockstep with their years of service. A union might figure out a couple of tiers within the payscale for specialized or managerial work, but I expect tho

I can't be the only person who thinks the monumental effort spent on config formats is bike-shedding. JSON is good enough for anything I've done. Not perfect, but no serious flaw that can't be fixed by just adding a simple ap

No, they just treat everyone, and their employer sends you a bill. (Sorry if that wasn't clear.)

You plead poverty with the ambulance company and hope they'll settle on a reduced amount with you. They may also put you on a payment plan, or report non full on time payment to the credit bureaus. Sometimes all 3.
