That would be true if this was actually a number, not a percentage. To take a hyperbolic example, there could be 100x more startups at 0-2 years right now than in '85 and 100,000x aged 2-4 years; you'd still see a percentage decli

I'm not sure "the startup is disappearing" is the only explanation for this data. Isn't it possible that companies are just lasting longer than 2 years? What if there was a larger percentage of age 0-2 companies '85

To me, the hidden crux of this whole issue is "can this system be as effective to deal with as a human who is good at their job?" If that condition is met or exceeded, none of this voice stuff will matter. People won't care i

Question, do you use any of the Elixir linter/debugger/highlighter plugins? Have any recommendations? I'm early on in evaluating ElixirLS and vscode-elixir but have run into some issues with both.

I find it suspicious that every one of these causes is a form of fiscal or monetary policy. Keywords that don't exist in this article: Job, Workforce, Education, Technology. None of those even get a place in the top 10?

OneChronos cofounder here. The NMS order protection rule certainly doesn't make things easier, but periodic auctions have a unique compliance and fairness advantage there. The question most continuous limit order books face is "Wh

I don't think they really have a choice here. If you think the SEC rules on "is X a security" are broad, take a look at FINRA's rules on advertising and recommending securities. The crypto litigation mass is approaching

Nice work and grats on getting to the elusive "done" stage :) Income tax is a big piece missing from the expense model. I'm guessing it's easy to add that line item, but it even if so it would be cool to have it computed

I think you'd find the philosopher Jean Baudrillard really interesting [0]. He wrote extensively about how humans create structure/models/frameworks around everything that approximate the "real" world into something

Exactly true for stocks, but I don't think Apex or any equities clearinghouse is clearing cryptocurrencies (exception: clearport for CME futures). So we're left guessing as to whose balance sheet holds the crypto assets.

Intuitively I'd agree that "best intentions of self vs. others" is probably the mechanism behind this type of cognitive dissonance. What I find harrowing is that in all likelihood, this is true for myself as well in ways that

This thread is a really interesting example of how easily humans can simultaneously hold conflicting beliefs/opinions. I'm gathering that a lot of developers and businesspeople here: a) are very concerned about collection of their

Quote in the article, directly from Crashlytics: > "and get insight into your users, what they’re doing, and inject live social content to delight them." It's also analytics, and ads.

Potentially. But then for biological, you'd also need to include whatever system generated the ATP, oxygen, electric impulse, etc to power the muscle, right? IMO, the crucial piece of information: how much pneumatic energy is needed pe

Would you mind elaborating on which aspects of the language reflect poor design? And what was done well for that matter? I have no strong opinions on Solidity, btw - just generally interested in people's views on developer experience.

It's really unfortunate. There's a great book called Metaphors We Live By [1] that digs into this same observation, using "arguments" as an example: you "attack" another person's argument, you "defend

Nope, I don't wait for courts when I think I have enough info to form my own opinion. I'm just as outraged about the Equifax breach as anyone else, and would never do business with them in any way. The key is, there's more ev

Just a friendly reminder that due process is a thing in the US. Let's allow some time for the texts, emails, testimony, etc. to come out. Everyone seems to have reached conclusions about this on very suspicious circumstances, but almos

Interesting that under the Chalmers theory, there's plenty of room for computers as we know them today to be conscious. That "critical point" where quanta become qualia, if it's purely a matter of complex arrangements o

Well, the very first assertion "Banks make currency" is not accurate in the US (the context of the article). Currency is "made" by a combination of the US Treasury and policy set by the federal reserve. The fed is a bank

> "This is like someone who makes a salary of $60,000 having suffering loss of $6,000 to $12,000." This line had the opposite of the intended effect, for me. Someone with $60k salary, a $12k loss could take years to recover fro
