Founder is not a profession, and this kind of impenetrable jargon here doesn't add value to the conversation. It's marketing talk where some jargon words make sense while others are more of a "professional fence".

Look, ICEs will eventually die unless a new type of fuel is found for them (none on the horizon so far). Which means the vibration of the car that's not even moving will go away for good, and we'll all probably forget about it. Ho

It's the initial investment, too big to even start thinking about it. Also I presume to improve your chances you need some serious names in your team. Probably not the "former Ferrari/Porsche product designer" caliber bu

I can't agree more and very strange your comment is downvoted. Right now the EV market I think is open to electric cars for people like us: physical gauges, just the bare minimum for driving (I'd include ABS for safety and cruise

I think in psychology it's called mirroring, if I'm not mistaken. A lot of the times those who lecture others (especially when nobody asked them to) are lecturing themselves without realizing it.

I think glueing punctuation to the previous word but always having a space before the next one makes the words more readable. Probbaly makes sense although you always need research to back up such claims. For example there's research t

Sure, but it's anti-mathematical let's say :) Left and right brackets should have symmetrical formatting. Never seen a style with such asymmetry, it's pretty odd.

if( ! fits) Why this (constently) terrible formatting though? Never seen anyone using this style.

To rephrase it, we always find ways to keep ourselves busy. Blacksmiths are gone, now we have more lawyers and psychotherapists. A lot of manual work is gone, but now we have a whole communications infrastructure that didn't exist befo

True but I think competition is already factored into the hypothesis as the lowest price nobody is willing to pay, which in case of a hamburger and given the competition could be only say $25. So you will be looking for a peak in the range

As much as I love jazz music, it's not evolving anymore. So it's dead in pretty much the same way as baroque music is. It's beautiful, it's great but it's not evolving, no new big names like J.S.Bach or Miles Davis.

This article I think comes very close but never answers the central question here: how to find the price that generates maximum revenue. I have a hypothesis that price tolerance follows Pareto distribution, i.e. the function of the number o

I think what the author meant to say was to blame copyright (he literally mentions it in the first sentence) and commercialization of the music industry. Something similar happened in the movie industry too. I don't think the divide be

Let alone back in the day landline phones were used as wiretapping devices, even when you are not speaking on the phone and it's on hook. The telephony standard was designed with this in mind, i.e. the possibility to turn any phone on-

Looks so weird by today's standards. I can't believe it was once such a cool language for me. I did write some code for MacOS 6 back in the day.

I don't think relocations are necessary at all. Within one system each file has a fixed place. Relocation and resolving happens only when files are copied across systems, where serialization should happen anyway. So e.g. once you recei

Pointers could be valid if each file in this new OS resided at a specific location say in a 64-bit address space. You could allocate for example 4GB of virtual memory to each file and guarantee that a file will always be found at the same l

Some big part of the data movement can be eliminated by introducing persistent RAM, i.e. the memristor that never happened unfortunately. When the missing component is finally invented I think we'll have an opportinity to revisit some

But you could as well say, the same part of computer's memory where the execution binary is stored is used for the same thing again and again. I don't think these parallels between the computer and the brain are valid though. The

Possibly, but there are other kinds of compromises such as allowing arbitrary order only within a class, the C++ way. Or another one: the first (quick) pass treats all function and reference type definitions as forward declarations and skip

Sometimes you introduce certain restrictions in the language just for the sake of simplifying the compiler. This is allowed, valid and will be understood by the developers. For example, for decades most static languages required a symbol to

Absolutely. One of the things I hate most is this thinking "run-time is more important than compile-time". Well the compiler and the IDE are runtimes too, we developers are users too, we sometimes work on our laptops unplugged and

I wouldn't say Kotlin is significantly better than Swift in terms of syntax, they are largely similar to the point you sometimes think: someone copied this from the other, I wonder who was the first. To me personally though the showsto

The opposite is also true: the interestingness and explosiveness of a novel idea is a function of its hereticity. We all create interesting business opportinities indirectly, by resisting to change.

Users are free to block the execution of client-side scripts though we all know what that means: much poorer to non-functional UX in many cases. Plus, to an extent browsers can control what can be collected on the client side, e.g. location
