All of that's handled by the treasury department payment systems, so as long as those are left alone, I'm sure it'll be fine.

We’re not reliably feeding 340M people eggs right now, either. The current system has significant friction points and deadweight loss.

"Cheaper" varies by the costs of the various inputs. A local chicken farmer which sells to a local market has, aside from the costs of the land, chickens, feed, and labor, the costs of putting the eggs in a truck and driving the t

Well, then you have to account for certain jobs and hobbies being coded, as well as word choices in the personal statement. Once you blank all that out, though, we should be good to go.

The next person to suggest the Dems need to swing right needs to be thrown in a volcano, or at least outed as an obvious fifth columnist. Harris ran so far to the right she was campaigning with Liz Cheney on being tough on immigration, and

Yeah, we found this when we started doing take-home exams: it turns out that a junior dev who spends twice as much time on the problem than what we asked them to doesn’t put out senior-level code - we could read the skill level in the code

You’re putting in a lot of effort to avoid actually answering any of these questions. I’m sorry if your work leads you to not want those answers. You bear moral responsibility for the outcomes of your actions, whether you do them on your ow

If your argument is that employees are not responsible for the results of their work - not legally accountable, but morally responsible - I strongly disagree with this. You are always morally responsible for the results of your actions. Alw

Legally liable is one thing, but if you contribute to a piece of software that has real-world consequences - your trading algorithm generated the money used to fund an election, your guidance software was used to bomb civilians, your algori

So I'd started writing a response to this, but it got a bit long and abstract and it was a work day, so I kind of left it, but an article dropped into my lap today which was almost too perfect as a demonstration of what I was trying to

If the reason for the takedown was "we don't allow ads for drugs of any variety on the platform" or "regulations prevent us from allowing ads for medicines on our platform" then sure, I have no problem with that. I

One aspect I’m curious about, especially given the younger cohort, is the causal directionality here - especially when I was younger, I knew a lot of people who were self-medicating with cannabis for things like anxiety and ADHD, which also

There’s a recent book, “Bitch: On the Female of the Species” by Lucy Cooke, which specifically targets the traditional “strong males weak females is the natural order” trope. It’s brilliantly written, comprehensive in its dismantling of the

I really enjoy David’s art, and I’m always happy to see it posted here - I think he does a great job of meshing the mechanical and the natural with enough of a dose of the absurd that I always find myself smiling at his work. I really love

Re: delivery fees and minimum orders - for all intents and purposes, a burrito delivered via door dash costs $30. I’m pretty sure if you’d offered the sandwich shop $20 more to deliver the sandwich, they’d at least have thought about it. It

It reminds me of the early days of Uber - the value add over taxis wasn’t in the ride itself*, it was the app and the fact that a car would actually show up. I suspect DoorDash et al are similar - the value add is the restaurant selection a

It’s been noted that these drugs have been out for 20 years and in pretty widespread use for managing diabetes for well over a decade now, so they’re not particularly novel as drugs and have been pretty well studied. I’m still sitting on my

From a geopolitics standpoint, the effective question here is “whose guns are the owners of the company worried about?” Elon is a bit of an outlier here because he’s effectively bought the government now, but in theory, if the US government
