That's nuts, we're at 70F most of the time and like 65F when sleeping.

I just default trust Wirecutter for everything these days. I know they might not be optimal - there's probably a better alternative for my specific usecase if I spent the time on it but I'd rather just let them make the decision o

Re: metaverse, it's not really a handwavey after thought - they've been investing quite significantly ($10bn lost last year alone while all of Google's bets including deepmind and waymo lost ~1.45bn. >10k people working on

Thanks! I'll take a stab at NestJS and try to get a server up and running. I think it'll also give me a good chance to play with public clouds, containers etc.

I would love to know more if you have pointers as well. I always assumed it was a no-go and released a few apps for free over the years.

Pretty graphs, but I wonder how it stands up to the tests of the real world. I've personally tried to use mind maps (a bit more general than solving technical problems) but gave up pretty quickly. I think part of the problem was the te

Isn't that fine? Let's get a bunch of robot armies in one place like we used to do in the ancient days and let them duke it out. Whoever wins wins. Army jobs getting automated is one thing I could get behind. Just keep the drones

I agree with this - when there's an economic incentive to get clean data, you get clean data. For instance, there's a lot of manual clean up work put into things like training data sets for speech recognition because there has bee

oo those are my favorite types of games as well.. along with things like Frostpunk, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Ceasar, EU4, CK3 etc. I've never heard of Settlers before, any other games of a similar mould?

After a couple of levels of indirection, I think the whole argument hinges on one anecdote. It might indicate a general pattern, but no actual authoritative sources back it up. Original Article quotes "growing evidence suggests these s

What exactly do you imagine will happen if your cells run someone else's RNA code? They already run someone else's RNA code when you get infected by any random virus.

And yet entrusting it to the platforms themselves seems equally bad given the Trump v Platforms saga. Either let the government make the rules on what speech is okay in their countries or let the platforms decide what's okay. You can&#

It’s not really specific to coal mining - everything has so much red tape in India. Part of it is colonial heritage and the other part of it is socialist roots of the founders. India has never had an economic right party in power at all. It

Have you heard of hire to fire? When there's an incentive to game a metric, the metric gets gamed.

Ads that they sell, not ads they buy from big tech. Big difference.

I think practice interviews are a thing but people generally do it only when they're actively in the process of moving jobs. e.g., I want a job at Facebook, so I'm going to go interview at some random startups first for sharpness.

I'd say it's pretty common with cloud providers actually. Bring in data? (Spotify playlists, Photos, Contacts etc. etc.) come on in, we have great APIs. Want to take your data out? File a GDPR request and get it in some opaque for

Yes I agree, but still trying to figure out what impact that has on the broader eco system if USDT ends up being worthless starting now. How exactly will it impact the BTC price?

by safog 6y ago
I don't think there are any claims that Tether the organization itself is doing anything like that. They just print USDT and send it to people who are interested in buying USDT like exchanges. The two problems as I see them are: - Is U

You'd need to do better than that. How exactly does printing USDT lead to BTC price inflation? I haven't heard anything convincing yet. Most of the vol doesn't come from the BTC USDT pair. Exchanges don't seem to be doin
