How is it not dumb? It's an arbitrary number of digits in base 10 numerals. Perhaps your point would be better addressed during your next regularly scheduled Bloomberg interview?

Thanks for the pointers. Looks fancy. I'll check it out.

Well, our base tools are crap. C is awful. Linux is awful. Docker "containers" are awful (i.e. fancy branding around cgroups; no actual 'container' at all unlike solaris zones which did everything properly 10 years ago

You may be a little oblivious to how Facebook has "like" buttons, which are also javascript tracking beacons, on basically every site online. Well, "Facebook" doesn't have them there, the site owners include them w

The book was awful in all the right ways. It was a perfect example of SV employees "going native" and surrendering their entire sense of self worth over to the desires of their employer. It tracked the ways startups indoctrinate

We know how to do a lot of things well, but when all our tools are made by hobbyist hackers creating out of love of fun instead of love of sustainability (or worse, short term hacks for love of profit ), we end up with the mess we have n

Isn't it kinda obvious the long game of facebook is to become the single globally mandated identity service? Governments will contract with them to maintain your official citizen ID records. Game over.

Visas are already heavily tied heavily to employment. It's not much of a leap to just become a citizen of a company since they already control your (employment-based) foreign immigration eligibility.

We should invite the world to live in America, then when the rest of the world is empty, take it over, make it all modern, then we can all have our non-polluting futuristic countries of equality and proper environmental regulations and buil

nihilist-chic Yeah, as this comment node pointed out, the whole " I knew about it first" force is in full effect here. The other root cause here: when people have self-pride over the information they are sharing as if it were n

Nerds tend to operate in a sphere of "once I know something, nobody must ever tell me again." So, they know something and, just by feelings, assume everybody else knows it too. They assume hearing repeated information wastes the

It's like how the Affordable Care Act had to contain mutually reinforcing requirements for insurance. You can't have insurance that covers pre-existing conditions unless you also require everybody be insured. Otherwise, people

As far as I can tell, we aren't licensed and bonded economists either, so there's no ground to take down another not-an-economist (No True Economist?).

Simple fix: people should be citizens of corporations instead of citizens of countries. Then they can move freely and their (literal) parent company will take care of healthcare, benefits, social services, etc.

Well, nobody knows the TPP yet. It's not public. The parts that have leaked are pretty bad. The comic mostly argues against a common hybrid republican/libertarian economic branding of "free trade." Free Trade brand

It isn't free trade without also free immigration. Global free trade without global freedom of movement is just profit rearranging for corporations.

Google used to have twitter results a long time ago. Then Google got a little pissy and decided they wanted to be The Only Social On The Internet and killed Twitter priority indexing (e.g. receiving the firehose). It was probably the mo

Musk lives in LA and takes his private jet up to San Jose every week to work at Tesla (then back to LA to work at SpaceX). If anything, Musk has two full time jobs (priorities: 1. SpaceX; 2. Tesla; 3. everything else) and actually does 80-1

It's okay to resubmit things that don't get attention. But, this paper is really weird. The abstract makes no sense (from a readability perspective, it just dives right in). It's more of a brain dump from the creators than

Perhaps something like a lateral vote meaning "the comment may have a point, but they are derailing the conversation." Then we could have a "sort by interesting (relevant)" and "sort by interesting (diverging)"

Employers aren't benevolent entities. You always have an adversarial relationship with regards to compensation and benefits.
