I suppose a finger is typically attached to a hand and won't slip down a wide-ish gap, which is nonetheless too narrow for the whole hand, to retrieve the phone. That doesn't necessarily mean the finger would get stuck in that g

It sounds like by the time she knew about the problem, it was too late; the top floor was already fully flooded.

I think fully legit letting is a massive risk. People can be reckless and ultimately there is very little you can recover from an unreasonable, reckless person. And AirBNB, well it's legal but it's certainly leaving hosts in some

Oh, some kind of, "ISPs want to tailor a good service and do some clever optimisation but can't with NN"?

Not an American: what is the non-libertarian public-facing argument against net neutrality? I'm sure its opponents say it's bad for the general public for some reason, and one of them might be some kind of "let market compe

I believe FDIC guarantees private deposits up to $250k. And FDIC itself is guaranteed by the US government so it's basically backed by a dollar printing machine. Excluding deposits over 250k and non-personal deposits but I believe thes

Most BoA deposits are likely guaranteed since they come from private persons and are below the limit. So a run is far less likely even if they are / get in trouble.

We need to figure out what exactly we want to ban. Banning AI generated porn just because we had, since deeply Christian days, banned anything sex related just doesn't make sense anymore as a sole justification. I'm not for it o

Ah, that's cool, I didn't realise the etymology. UK east coast has a lot of place names ending in '-by', supposedly from Danish invasions around 10th century (for example Grimsby), it's nice to see there's a li

Holocaust is terrible, and terribly complex subject to study. In this particular context, I also suppose it is hard to find balanced views. Most people who speak on the topic have a significant agenda. Without in any way attacking or discre

I can well imagine this was the case; for example, there was a famous case of a "fake" Nazi death camp in Warsaw [1]. I don't understand the background, but for whatever reason it turns out this supposed camp was a right-wing

It sort of is and isn't different. They are both a pat on the shoulder from the government, saying "we've got your back". You run your business very differently depending on whether you know you have that backstop or not

If your VC funded business fails, you probably still collected a salary. Also "failed" could mean, you had a $50m exit. You could still argue it's a bad trade, poor work-life balance etc. but it's not like 1% chance of b

Is SpaceX also not a recipient of de facto subsidies from US government? No shame if so, and they are doing good work, just that might be a better point if comparison.

OCaml is used by Jane Street but no one else in this space (certainly no major player). Jane Street are a successful and respectable company but no giant, by any standard. If anything, I'd say their fame for using OCaml is greater than

Regardless of what you call it, it seems a reasonable wish for an artist for their work to be broadly available to humans and not used to feed an AI algo.

I don't quite get the holy outrage at commercial websites including ads. I mean, I like annoying irrelevant intrusive ads as much as the next person, but that's part of the damn product. Don't like it, don't use it. Or p

For better or worse, econometrics defines productivity as GDP per hour worked. Then, PPP-adjusted GDP per hr is not much of a leap, and arguably mildly better.

That's different, isn't it? An RTG only produces heat via radioactive decay. A nuclear reactor is a controlled chain reaction.

I can't quite tell if you need a job :) if yes, quant trading is certainly an option. If you want to do something else for any reason, I can't see how this will be very different. A SE job interview will revolve around technical

You could look for a job in quant trading outside of crypto. Or even within crypto, there's still plenty of big reputable firms doing it. As for track... half the interview will revolve around technical questions and knowledge of the m

Well, whatever it means, and as far as one can extrapolate, it's nice to know that death itself is not traumatic or painful.

There is the durability aspect, both physical exterior and battery life. I'd say these are the only reasons I upgrade phones. Two years of being carried in a pocket and dropped by kids tends to knacker these things out. In fact, this l
