I think that is what is so hilarious about the situation. The US is forever creating situations where companies want to be first in and fastest scaling at any cost, offering free everything to begin. If they were a bank they would realize t

I think that's exactly the criticism. They are good at raising money that will be thrown away because it is acceptable to choose the technically incompetent to run a company and hope technical people they hire will somehow steer them f

So at what point did immigration become unacceptable instead of part of our system with natural political consequences? Do we need to take the vote away from Irish Americans and re-examine whether the Know Nothings should have won elections

I don't see how it is a criticism of a rainbow coalition that they are able to redirect people away from intolerance even if the only motivator is self interest. This is in fact why the republic is structured as it is, should we preten

It sounds to me like you've got some kind of self loathing thing going on. Political arguments are mostly about whether illegal immigrants should get at best a gradual path to citizenship which doesn't mean they will be a tool to

Green teas are really quite safe and pretty low in caffeine, but even black tea with Bergamot is apparently pretty safe until you are drinking 4L a day.

Immigrants can't vote so this logic is bizarre. The people who make the most money off illegal immigrants in the US are rural land owners, meat packing plant owners, etc. They don't want illegal immigration to stop they just want

No it's been trivial to make cracked unsigned binaries via disassembly for a long time. Only a 1 bit change is often needed to disable something important. It's unclear that anyone making malicious binaries with their keys will bo

I wouldn't consider that distortion. Its a significant problem that firearms are highly successful suicide on the first impulse. Children who try another means are much more likely to have a chance to contemplate if they really want to

I think no tech support is the only real defense against SIM swap.. Then you need other redundancies that are equally impervious to social attack to be able to withstand a lock out from one of them. Actual security is a real pain, pretendin

Yeah, from the article I get the sense that he is often agreeing to add his name to papers for network affect, perhaps even as the main author.. So his own criteria for what he writes may be factual, but seems a bit off topic for what a rea

I hope Andrew Ng was correct that a great many methods end up largely equivalent given the same amount of input because the current methods deliver a rather useless result. With a google search you are getting citations and stuck finding th

These kinds of arguments seem very similar to the Israelis arguments with their occupation of Palestine.. The numbers on one side are 10-100 times higher than the other, with one group having losses so high it is mere statistics while every

I don't know if that's it. The old joke was if you get caught its time to expand your business since it will need to support a legal team for decades.

I think the Oxycontin/Purdue scam is pretty typical of how corruptions that were once targeted by the government to intentionally victimize minorities in ways not large enough to wash away other gains in overall life expectancy have sp

That just seems to feed the point to me. Google was competing with organizations particularly created for a new tech market that didn't exist before them. NYC library was maybe the largest player available to consumers? (Before the eme

I would interpret the Apache Licenses terms on breaking the license to apply to patents and there it is pretty clear that the party who starts litigation loses their own license. I don't think any open source license writer would inten

Sure most people who use brokers are actually interested in wider arrays of risk and we can't really find anyway to lower the corrupt advisor incentive as that tends to go straight into a complexity trade off. I don't think there&

I think bonds themselves when bought through a normal broker's normal account are usually true investments in your name that can't be "pledged and re-pledged".. I generally accept the argument that people are having trou

Seems like fair warning to me. If you have a few million in a bank you may lose it. That's the law. Pretending you are going to break the law by issuing fire insurance on houses that are on fire and then not doing it wouldn't real

Defamation that questions someone's ability to do their profession is in a special class. You don't want to be the slightest bit wrong about anything in that, i.e. were they misquoted or overheard instead of talking directly to a

I don't actually agree. SQL did replace the need for programmers, especially for complex questions. We sabotaged its interfaces to existing GUIs for mundane questions and made CRUD a limitless profession. The funny/sad part about
