Wouldn't Italy be a worst example than Spain?

Yes, current crisis. Everyone agrees on the fact that the virus will probably spread and become much more widespread. Isn't it logical that costs will go up too, especially if the state decides that the economy isn't worth the los

What more couldve been done? Not a rhetorical question. It's just that I dont see how the governement could stop the initial spread since little to nothing was known in the really early phases of the epidemic. Even the early mortality

At this point those measures won't help at all when it comes to travel. Temperature scanners and protective medical gear should instead be used to deal with the contagion inside cities, counties etc. Trying to limit international/

What? This has nothing to do with the slippery slope fallacy. . It's not because we're aren't there yet that saying that it could happen is a fallacy. With that logic any type of planning or forecast about the virus is just a

What's the range on the used leaf you bought? Maybe 100 miles without AC/heating? There's a reason why the Leaf didn't succeed in the way Tesla did, and it's not all because of Musk. Also, a new model 3 is 40k, and

Yep, I think people tend to forget how bad the blackberry line up was compared to the iPhones and even androids they were competing against. Their flagship in ~2011 was the Bold, which could barely browse the internet, had a horrible camera

I think it's always best to avoid comparing neural nets with biological neurones and their networks. The comparison just doesn't hold since they are completely different in almost every way. Also I think that it actually proves t

I totally agree that misinformation is everywhere but I still think there's a huge difference in just how impactful/dangerous misinformation can be in countries like india vs the US. I'm not indian, but a very similar pattern

SoftBank lost 250m$, basically subsidizing purchases of thousands of clients. Matt Levine really hit the nail on the head when he said that the Vision fund is effectively redistributing billions of dollars to the public. But even for a Visi

Yeah it is kind of worrying how hyped up the stock is because of the fantastic last 2 weeks. I 100% could understand "hype" investing in Tesla when it was under 350-400, since the brand is cool and they make a good product even if

This is 100% just the short squeeze. The TSLA was heavily shorted by people who were really committed to the short and held on until the margin calls. What's worst is that there was an uptick of short interest when it got to 500-550, b

A fresh bootcamp graduate can be a good developer, but I would argue that someone fresh off of bootcamp is way less prepared than a CS grad to directly start working in a small team with mostly non technical people. A CS grad is usually wa

There's actually a recent ruling from the SEC that allowed raising funds from non accredited investors when it comes to crowdfunding. So it's actually legal to sell equity in crowdfunded projects to pretty much everyone [0]. But t

You don't have to "actively" seek investment from non accredited investors for it to be illegal. So a crypto currency could still absolutely be subject to action from the SEC even if they only had a "invest now" opt

Oh, yes in that case you are right! I totally agree that the BBC shouldn't be allowed to post some of their content only on Facebook. Especially given how Facebook is probably the most walled off social media around.

by mardifoufs 7y ago
I don't think that's true. You still own the content, but give Facebook a temporary license to use it until you delete it, which makes sense in the context of social media. It's written in their ToS [0]. >You own the intel

Wow, I think you are maybe a little too hyperbolic here. Facebook didn't "ruin" America. Even if you think america is somehow ruined, how is it Facebook's fault? Why not blame the ISPs, or the hardware manufacturers at t

I think it probably reaches more people with Facebook. Public services like the BBC usually try to have a presence wherever the audience is!
