OP here. Did not mean to imply that web5 sprung out of web3 in any sense. Really I just found web3 to be a useful reference point for explaining SSI. Lots of people understand how web3 works at this point, but there's way less mindshar

Definitely possible that Apple will win the identity wars. That said, I don't agree with the characterization of web3/web5 as "having to trust nobody". If anything, all the efforts around identity are meant to allow for

You comparing apples and oranges. Subsidies are a direct transfer of wealth, whereas Amazon's investments would remain assets of Amazon.

This is the first time I've come across the approach of storing database snapshots and saving them in a data lake. Do you find those snapshots are useful/used for analytics or data science end-uses, or are they more there for debu

As a startup employee, I'd say a big con is not necessarily the amount of equity, but the type of equity, and difficulty of evaluating it. Common stock really only provides exposure to the tail end of good exit outcomes, since other en

A more apt question might be, would you be willing to take a pay cut to achieve an increase in happiness and live wherever you want?

I like Altair, and have built a couple analyses and products with it. In general, it's a convenient way to do exploratory data analysis. But I have found it to be sort of inflexible for simple variations on common chart types -- especi

I think your argument is logically correct, but you are using numerical assumptions that are off by one or two orders of magnitude. Your typical successful algorithmic trader is probably flipping their metaphorical coin 1,000,000 times, and

Not odd at all, actually. Numpy might implement certain functions differently from other libraries. With a background in algorithms, you could make an educated guess as to complexity, but without knowing the exact implementation it's s

In the U.S., the main reason prices go negative is because of the production tax credit. Wind producers get a subsidy per MWh produced. Since the unsubsidized marginal cost of production is zero, the result is a negative effective productio

A few other big ones IMO: 7. Energy density (as opposed to power density; i.e. c-rate matters) 8. Temperature sensitivity (many batteries lose voltage at low temps, e.g.) 9. Ability to hold a charge

This comment got my gears turning about good ways to split up Uber in an anti-trust case. One possibility is to have Uber A provide dispatch as a service, while Uber B collects fares, disburses driver payments, and provides the front-end UI

Gooulo, agreed insofar as we should reject hate in its various forms. It's ugly, terrifying, and has nothing to do with what has made this country what it is. But even as a progressive democrat, I feel sympathy for djschnei's resp
