I (and the GP) believe there's a profound difference in starting a company knowing that you'll be breaking laws (Uber) and running an established company that just had a law passed that negatively impacts your business (Tesla). Yo

What is the conflict? Unless there's a federal law that says that auto manufacturers can sell direct to consumers in states, I don't see what conflict there could be.

Or, alternately, Uber ignores local taxi regulations and then is surprised when cities fight back. I haven't been following the Tesla issue closely, but their attitude does not seem similar to Uber's, which, personally, makes all

The stated claim seems entirely in context. And in fact, your restated argument is still rebutted by the post you're replying to. You can't just say "straw man" or "out of context" and then provide no explanati

I'm not familiar with many details of bitcoin, so correct me if this is wrong, but aren't all bitcoin transactions public for anyone to see?

Oh please. Do we have to drag everything to its extreme? The consequences of not paying your taxes are not anywhere near the same as the consequences of not accepting a job in a government position. One lands you in jail. The other lands yo

Agreed. I actually like these types of products, but I object to the idea that a massive amount of data is going to define whether or not you're happy. If you need to sift through a massive amount of data to determine that, then no, yo

If people are distracting you, maybe you should, you know, have an actual conversation with them about it. Not everyone views headphones as the universal sign for being busy. Some people (myself included) just like listening to music while

No, you don't need pages to describe your moment of clarity. In fact, the author did it in four short sentences. >He wasn’t paying attention. He missed the elevator. >I bet you that’s exactly what happens in my code. If the remot

You made your bed. Now lie in it. You can't hold all your wealth in a currency that is built to avoid government regulation and to send transactions around the world instantly (both of which would help in the event someone tried to rob

I would argue that there is in fact a public interest in learning more about the inventor of what is "arguably the largest financial innovation of the century". Learning more about his life and others involved in bitcoin can help

What makes you say that? It seems wildly speculative (at least, far more than the opposite opinion of believing he likely still has the coins he's believed to own).

And this is why I always find font debates useless. I, personally, found the font very legible. In fact, legibility seems like a pretty low bar, so I can't even imagine how one legible font could not come close to the legibility of ano

I like the design of the UI and think that there are a lot of good ideas here that could be used in other domains. But you started the video saying current designs are filled with intangible buttons and are therefore hard to control and are

A point you repeatedly make in your OP is that everyone uses torture -- not just the bad guys -- and that it's just a tool to extract information. So it seems certainly relevant that your selection of examples are all of bad guys commi
