I agree. My point is not that the current system needs to be reinforced, but that it needs to be improved, and we should be willing to eat the cost to do it, because if we let the current system stand, it will fall apart, and if it falls ap

What a person needs to know to function ethically and practically in contemporary society is only increasing. I'd love to hear how the majority of children can be expected to be taught what's needed outside of a public school syst

If you have ever witnessed a child learn to speak, I don't know how you could maintain such a thing. The rate of change is incredible. Even aside from that, which might be argued to be a biological oddity and explained by early develop

Schools have their issues, but children learn essential skills and knowledge of the world at schools. Without public schools, most children would learn almost nothing in comparison and society would absolutely deteriorate. There are scarcel

It's a ridiculous assertion. There is no correct, deterministic path from natural language expressions to directed machine behavior, as there is no correct, deterministic natural language expression in the first place. It's not st

People complained. You just didn't hear it, for whatever reason. Musk has been a known idiot for years and years, but most people only heard the narrative he pushed and approved.

After he had the horrible judgement to interview Kanye West, I feel he lost credibility. He was never very insightful in the first place. Largely a veneer of sincerity papering over poor discernment of bad actors who don't deserve a se

That's not anything to keep in mind at all. There are many different kinds of therapies and therapists. Lumping them together and writing them off is brutal and insensitive. People need help understanding how to live. Therapists are tr

Because in my day to day life wearing clothes is not a prerequisite for interacting with technology. I frequently exercise. This requires many showers and many changes of clothes. I walk around in the morning just wearing my boxers for the

The fact that your comment is flagged and dead should give you pause. The fact that it doesn't give you pause should give you pause. The fact that you think I am objecting to your specific assertions rather than the mode of assertions

I don't need my YubiKey just at work. I need it with me all the time regardless of whether I am even wearing clothes.

Holy moly. People cannot escape cognitive biases even by knowing about cognitive biases. This includes you. It seems that you think you have somehow transcended this condition. This is just another bias. And this particular one is maybe the

I've tried multiple times to work YubiKeys into my workflow and failed each time. The key needs to be with me all the time from room to room, building to building, location to location, not get lost, from change of clothes to change

Unlikely. We can't even get a decent home automation voice assistant today. Total garbage at this point. So bad Amazon is getting out of Alexa. If we have one of those in 5 years, we'll be lucky. People like Elon Musk are over pro

Are you depressed? Do you have any substance abuse issues? Do you have sleep quality issues? If yes to any of those, bingo, very likely. (Think real hard before saying "no" to any -- these problems can be hard to spot, sometimes.)

Every experience has something to teach, but that just means all experiences are alike in this one regard. It's an absolutely horrible way to justify the various strains of hell that run through the world. Please replace the word bully

The bet itself is reasonable and laudable even. The execution is total garbage and the snickering and memes over Horizon are justified. It looks ridiculous. If you want to make big bets about creating the future, then you better make sure y

100% agree. Totally irresponsible move to interview Kanye West. It's borderline parasitic. There's no intellectual value in pretending someone's psychotic delusions are valid discourse. Lex should take the interview down.

It's not clear what you are asking then. You should clarify. The info in the link provided addresses the only concrete portion of your comment, which is that, yes, most Russian employees have moved elsewhere.

This is so snarky. People are putting work into solving classes of bugs that cost us billions and billions in GDP per year. This is one solution, and sure, like TDD, has tradeoffs and problems. The details, circumstances, and implementation

I think calling it meaningless drivel is a bit much, but you are right that we should be careful drawing inferences. It's "at the very least" worth considering: What does it mean that under specific circumstances we can be so

Yeah, there are probably differences. I suppose my overall point is that if you're buying mall brands, you are paying for brand first, and everything else second. I wouldn't expect good zippers from a mall store.

If you pay a huge amount of money to go to college and then have trouble supporting yourself for the rest of your life, there is a money problem. The problem is money. Framing it as a money problem is narrow, but accurate with regard to wha

Yes, and I meant to convey that the quality of the clothing material and construction at banana republic is no better than the gap. It's just branding.
