Then you adapt to the new reality. If you worry about changes making something impossible you can't start anything.

The only case I see is against "10x" and overachievement in general. My morning yoga routine keeps me in shape and healthy. It's very pedestrian, I don't try to improve much, but it works. Maybe people should learn to re

I think a problem gets more problematic the larger the market is. A monopoly in a 100 million market is probably less harmful than a monopoly in a trillion market. It also depends on the lock in effect. I don't think this company has a

Obviously this will all go into research.

Same here. I had to switch from doing crazy stuff to just maintaining health. Hiking really fits the spot. I still get a lot of cardio (I have hiking trails with 1000m elevation gain within 10 minutes of driving) that way. But things like r

I would argue the whole system is fraudulent and highly corrupt but profitable so it's ok. Insurances reject legitimate claims, hospitals charge exorbitant rates for procedures that never happened and much more. Look at what PBMs do.

CO2 is not the only factor. You also have to look at the plastic bags that are floating around in rivers and oceans.

It's good that there is research in this area but I always doubt whether it can be scaled up to a meaningful level without doing other damage. In the end I think we need to work more on reduction and reuse even if it's mildly less

That's a very unsatisfying way to work. I like software design and architecture and even arguing about it as long as people do it in good faith. That's what makes the job interesting to me. I think I would get depressed if I just

"Robot" is a little misleading for basically a remote controlled boat. Definitely very useful.

Linqpad is one of the few tools that do what they need to do without much fuzz and in a straightforward manner. Beyond Compare is also in the same category. I am glad that the UX people haven't gotten around to mess it up yet.

I am glad that they haven't. Usually only a butchered version gets integrated or it gets abandoned after a while.

Go to Northern VA. There are a lot of mansions owned by non profit higher ups.

Makes me wonder what Waymo’s endgame is. Become another Uber, become a car company or provide the tech to other car companies?

"Luckily, newer languages make constructing such monstrosities harder and discouraged." They just encourage constructing monstrosities of a different kind. I don't think people who do stupid things in one paradigm will do any

I have concluded that smaller is better and straightforward is better. I think it’s easier to scale up a small system than to maintain a complex system that was built for scale from the ground up but usually got some things wrong because th

They pay out big money to execs and give BS contracts to their friends.

That's very good. All the DEI brochures I have seen portrayed young good looking people of different colors. I hope we will get more diversity and inclusion for disabled people.

"The VA is the penultimate example and I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy. That's where our veterans go to commit suicide in the parking lots waiting on help." The people I know who use the VA are quite OK with it.

Lowering cost for patients is not an objective of this system. They will take the money and pay their execs and shareholders more.

That's the theory. In practice it incentivizes a lot of corruption.

Yes, let's pump even more money into an already obscenely overpriced system.

I always wonder about "safe" for who? If the current economic system continues, we may end up with a lot of people out of jobs. Add to that improvements in robotics and we will have many people ending up having nothing to contrib

With way more money. ITER's budget is so far 22 billion. I would think development could be accelerated if they put more money into it. And I would argue that 22 billion for fusion research has the potential of doing way more for world
