Many choices in life have some risk and some odds of failing. Calling them all gambling is plain wrong. Are you gambling that you will not be implicated in an accident every time you leave your home? There's definitely a risk, and a si

The thing is my gut is telling me this is a nothing burger, and I'll listen to my own gut before yours - a random internet person insisting this is going to change the world. So what exactly is the usefulness of this discussion? You th

A hash table makes sense in memory. If it's loaded just right for fast access, it has holes - empty entries. That makes little sense if you are building a file that will be transferred to many places over the internet. Bandwith waste w

And isn't it strange when a company publicly declares that you can't have any expectations based on their brand? Seems like they're drawing customers' attention to the thing, instead of hoping they don't notice.

Yeah, but I don't think the subconscious factor is strong in the case of some pagers sold to Hezbollah. Disney was an example someone chose, and it ceases to be a useful example here.

It definitely is the case in the EU. Where did you get the idea it isn't? In my country, which is in the EU, having someone work for you without a contract is a crime. Because by not having a contract you're denying them rights su

This article is about the ingredients for bread . If you can't get water and flour without "access to the best of the world and the benefits of specialization", that's on you. Of course they can't make competitive

If you buy the boxes from an Apple store, or from an approved distributor, Apple is at fault. What's the meaning of "approved"? If you buy them from the back of a truck, then no, Apple has no fault of course. But there's

There must be some other ostensible purpose for a brand than "to make money". People who would buy the hypothetical Disney phone would have other reasons than "to give Disney money". Nobody has that as a goal when buying

Even if brands have died, companies admitting it is somewhat novel.

These declarations sound so stupid to me. What's the point of having your brand on a product, if you're going to claim you have nothing to do with it? What is the point of the concept of a brand even?

That won't undo any of the damage done by the war, nor bring anyone back. It will pretty much not have any effect at all.

> the clear way to deal with this is to make them choose My understanding is that the whole problem stems from companies being able to choose. Apple chose to pay taxes in Ireland for some things, because Ireland gave them a tax advantag

Amazon's current answer. Companies or their managers sometimes get a reality check after some confident answer like this. Not as often as we employees would like, but still. Remember those people who tought there was a worldwide mark

Is there any way to get similar behavior as inside IDEs like Visual Studio or Eclipse or IntelliJ? Where each tile has tabs, and I can drag tabs to another tile, or create a new tile by dragging to the left/right/up/down of a

The leader needs to have both vision and an understanding of the job separation you described. Many don't, in my opinion.

If you approach it with mathemathical universality, yes, it is false. But what about "95% of the time 95% of the rich do not face consequences"? It's still a huge problem, and probably what the commenter meant.

No, S3 pricing for example is predictable, and written in a contract. There's no way for AWS to charge you 3x amount of dollars for 1GB tomorrow. They need to announce it in advance, and give you time to exit the contract if you disagr

The thing is it might increase in cost after you've decided to use it commercially, and have invested a lot of time and resources in it. Now it's very hard to move to something else, but very easy for OpenAI to increase your cost

There's never an answer to this question. People say management is not at fault, and when this is pointed out to them... crickets.

Push the work closer to the edge, and multiply it by quite a lot. Generate each image many times. Why would we want this? Seems like the opposite of caching in a sense.

This is my question too. Is this a proven thing, or is it just the author's opinion or intuition? How do you even measure "better citizens"? Lots of drivers will say we should build more and wider roads, more motorways, and s

You say you distrust government, but you propose to tax large corporations out of existence. The government would do that, who else. What's worse, any single rule against large corporations will be worked around. You will have a loose
