How does that change anything? The amount of ease of use you get from the internet is not zero-sum; everyone benefits from it. Calling the internet "cable television as a service" is ignoring the incredible reach and user-friendli

This might just be my experience, but I've found Quora to be of extremely poor quality questions/answers with a few outliers. Reddit on the other hand seems to have both good answers and people just horsing around, but not as much

As an aside, I've been reading the Matt Levine newsletter over the last few days, and I've really enjoyed it. Does anyone have any recommendations for other good newsletters of this kind?

If you're interested in reading about AI goal theory further, I suggest Superintelligence, orthogonality and CEV as books/topics you could explore.

Where's your line on what constitutes politics then? Is a discussion on let's say patterns of harassment of female employees by senior staff and ways to avoid that a political discussion? Is a discussion of salary disparities at t

This is akin to the idea that you don't need privacy unless you have something to hide. Freedom of speech is important, but at the same time, so is the responsibility of a person to his team and community to maintain a minimum level of

And that is the problem, isn't it? If the majority had been left to make decisions, things wouldn't have changed. Things only changed because the minorities spoke up and convinced the majority that change was needed. This is why d

For Indian developers that's above average pay, and HCL has a heavy Indian presence. Prices for developers outside of the US and Europe are actually quite low, and part of the reason is the low costs in other countries that let compani

By creating a weapon of mass destruction that destroys whole planets? I think the scale of that endeavor and the resulting destruction of Alderaan is justification enough for destroying the Death Star. But destroying Alderaan itself? I don&

From personal experience, this is not really true, there are some languages that do maintain some sort of mutual comprehension, but the vast majority in India have no guarantee of that apart from a few choice root words. Speakers of a parti

Tala Moana, exile! Very interesting to see a GGG answer here! I admit to being very curious about the Path of Exile architecture, and your answer has barely whet my appetite. I have some questions that might give me better clarity over arch

He mentions this in the earlier post. He tried that once before with a game, where he put quite a bit of effort into making the graphics better, but people didn't really notice the improvement, they still complained about the graphics.

Docker containers don't have a robust security boundary, due to the kernel sharing that they do. These micro VMs combine the low resource cost of a container with the solid security boundary of a VM, which is very useful in a multi ten
