I did catch that... but.... I am sure that there's a whole number of investments that aren't brand-name that take place. But, then it made me wonder about the con-jobbiness of it all. Targeting unsophisticated investors, seems lik

The lack of accountability and governance by investors is fascinating and confusing to me. If I was investing meaningful portions of my savings, I would read every single document and maintain careful diligence on how the firm & executi

That's also a great point. The 70s have a lot of divergence vs the prior 20 years, but what if we run the clock back to, say, 1875? (I don't know. But it has to be asked)

YouTube Music is so bad I shut down my use of Google for music, unplugged my Google home devices, and migrated to Alexa. Amazon Music is worse than Google Music, but better than YouTube Music. There's a wide open market for a good mus

Actually, it's about paying for service received. You pay by ads or you pay by wallet.

AU has slightly different framing and expectations. I've had a few conversations with people from AU, or who spent significant time there. It is different there in certain base assumptions about the role of government. I don't w

Watching the divergent responses by governors & states who, more generally, trust scientific experts (E.g., Hogan in Maryland, Inslee in WA), vs governors who don't... I'm glad I live in WA. If I lived in one of those other st

It's also the case that, in practice , we regulate and politicize much - maybe all - of the free market. So really, we're not having an argument about "Free market vs total centralized system", it's "how much

I really like learning about Soviet perspectives. Often it provides a fascinating counterpoint and alternative ways of approaching a problem. So much work was done, but it is, of course, all in Russian originally.

The answer is ... no. Not because it wouldn't solve the problem, but because at some point cameras will be so ubiquitous that there's no point in banning the State from putting up cameras, because every tom, dick, and harry has a

Things related to shopping and widespread embedding of chips/networking are very much already coming in. Having an Alexa-alike in common toys is probably only a few years out. The high end medical therapies are probably also going to b

It's not wrong, but it's backwards looking. They aren't addressing the root problem, which is "internet cameras everywhere", and the answer is to figure out how to work with that reality, not to turn the clock bac

Intention is a component of the law. Youtube-dlc apparently intended to assist in infringing the copyright. We're still fighting over the color of bits. It's all a bit technically bozo, but, sigh.

Well, that part of Google is less trustworthy, that is true. One reason I keep an orthogonal backup system that isn't Google.

Interesting. I don't particularly stint in my usage; Google reports I use 34 gigs in my old G Suite Business account. I will definitely pay more if I need to. I have some level of personal storage backing it, along with paid backups, b

Are there white papers / briefs out there that have hard information on what quantifies a good location vs not?

One big takeaway here from this is that you can compete on inventory. Keep the high-volume items that are popular, but also sell, e.g., masks, sanitizer, other knickknacks that are relatively disposable and are good impulse buys.

this is correct. conventional statistical functions rely on a whole host of assumptions about the shape and type of data. Typically that its a bell-curve distribution & ratio style data. The more you move away from that parametric style

Helm is a wannabe package manager, designed for people who really like writing yaml instead of executable code. K8s doesn't really have a fully built out "apps" resource, so that starts the whole process down a gravelly slope

Yeah, that's one of those remoter areas! No doubt about it. If you need an AED, definitely get it.

Cyberpunk qua the earliest novels has been increasingly a rather nerdy fantasy future since sometime in the early 2000s. Looking at the "cyberpunk" today, it's a fashion trend in a lot of ways. Futurist rooted in the way tech

I pay Amazon for them to take a deep analysis of my entire existence? How about no .

by pnathan 6y ago
Yes, I am. Most of that is already in play already after about 30 people are in a group, we as an industry haven't formalized it, and there's no legal teeth around it.

The solution involves large companies, not startups. You have an infrastructure and a pool of highly qualified applications that aren't going make or break their personal finances on these problems. These are classic coordination prob

I would agree. I've worked in critical infrastructure work and retain an interest in the field. A professional software engineering license should be legally required for certain classes of risk. Ultimately the answer to an irresponsib
