Value stocks give better returns because they are riskier, not because of the quality of OP's analysis into what companies are worth. And why do they ignore the fact that indexes can be diversified across countries? These counterargume

It seems to me like a "reactive intelligence" is basically equivalent to an "adaptive intelligence" which just hasn't begun making use of all of its possible outputs yet. Obviously even though we adapt to our enviro

That clearly doesn't explain how you get from the biological system to intelligence though. NNs can be imagined as a (highly simplistic) form of repeated experiment too.

Carbon nanotubes in fact have similar pathology to asbestos. I don't think that specific issue applies to graphene though.

It does mention app passwords on this page, but it's not clear that they are saying app passwords will continue to work after this change.

What about clients which don't support that, like Google's "send mail as" feature? I suppose that won't be supported anymore?

Based on historical trends it seems more likely to me that $90 computers of the future will simply be able to run the most advanced consumer software locally and thin clients will just be unnecessary complexity.

Right, I mean to say why would potential contributors want to afford those benefits to the original author so that only the original author can monetize it?

I don't think it's a matter of maintaining the purity of the meaning, it's about maintaining the intent. The point of FOSS isn't to let people benefit up to the point where they start being able to outcompete you, the po

I don't think those are really reasons for choosing an OSS license, they are reasons for choosing a source-available license (of which OSS licenses are just one kind). > I'm not denying AWS is adding value, but it sure is odd t

Don't you think there's a moral issue expecting free contributions to something which only you are allowed to monetize? And how can you satisfy users to the greatest extent while also preventing them from using the provider that i

The steep part of a sigmoid curve DOES grow almost exponentially though. What's the point of saying this? It's like saying, "sure we are making great progress, but eventually the universe will come to an end and we'll al

I would argue that programming is one such application which makes math interesting. I'm not sure they are really seperate worlds of problem solving at all.

Agreed, this was upsetting to read. Why is the author wasting their life in a field which they don't even see as a valid creative endeavor?

But those same proxies/firewalls probably won't understand QUERY either, right? And if they are updated to add support, why can't they be updated to add support for GET with request bodies?

Supporting stone age system administration tools is basically Red Hat's core business though. That doesn't really seem like a fair comparison.
