We need a law that says that CEOs and C-suite writ large and board members can't receive stock/options/RSU. Otherwise, we'll always be stuck in Goodhart's law. Maybe they make enough already and don't need bonu

Agreed, the best argument for most people is the fixed payment for housing. As time goes on, your income will grow but your payment won't (minus taxes). Additionally, you are paying for tomorrow's housing at today's pricing.

Everyone isn't going to switch over in 1 month or even 1 year. There will be a slow progression. We never have "doubts" that the grid can actually handle the demand when for each new 200+ person development we build. I'm

I think that is what most people want.. However, I don't know how to make that self-sufficient let alone profitable .. People want free and free means ads and ads means click-bait/faux outrage/addiction. The old model was thi

I don't understand why they don't just open source an engine that uses OpenStreetMap .. Why do we need a new project and new foundation? .. It just seems like a new wall around it so that AWS et. al. can lock people into EC2 and d

I really really really wish that Apple would always use DHCP and get an open IP instead of assuming their last one is still good just so they can say they connect to WiFi 100 ms faster than anyone else. It is so infuriating and causes all

Very interesting. Does this imply (assuming these jets have been occurring for a very very long time) that we'd be able to see the consequences of other jets in other galaxies/planets? Said another way, have we ever observed s

It seems like this use case would be pretty easy to detect and disable. There should be a way to give a fuzzy location to give you a general idea of which geo-fence you left something. Only authorized via warrant LE should be always able se

Vitalik is a clearly a smart guy but I don't get this "All solvable problems" mindset of him and others. Saying stuff like "supply chain apps" is a key application at the same time global supply chain apps on the bl

Release it how? They can't load it on an iPhone without Apple's cert. The only path would be to require jail breaking and most consumers trust that even less.

Thinking, Fast and Slow is also what I came to say. There is a lot of insight in how all of our thoughts are anchored in some way. Once you understand that, you understand the power of introspection which is our one true super power. Everyo

Agreed, I've moved to only commenting WHY the function exists. The what can be stepped through. The why gives insight into intent, purpose and origin.

Read about the company Aereo. That should have been legal too under fair use. The argument will be that this fictional company isn't licensed to be a transmitter because they are transmitting unlicensed content. YOU can store your

I don't think any company would ever get into that space. RIAA (etc) will come after them for not verifying that each user has a license for everything song uploaded. The best the community could probably do is have a 1-click AWS insta

Serious Question: Do you think that all software should have to be completely and constantly open-sourced? Do you think that all blueprints must be made public? Do you think that all recipes for food must be made public? Creation is hard an

I agree this is weird. I guess it is meant to highlight the other party wants to get rid of social security. It is strange though to take credit for not doing something that someone else says they will do in the future.

If they are blind or disabled, someone likely brought them physically to the voting precinct or they can do a mail-in ballot.

The challenge here is that too many people will assume it did it right and not verify. That creates an attack vector. That creates another thing for people to yell fraud about. With paper, there can be no bait and switch, you physically h

Are these layoffs even legal under the WARN act?

Voting machines should only ever be used to automate counting of votes. They should never mark the voting sheet. Having the physical paper lets us easily recount or reverify. If it was marked erroneously, all is lost.

That is an interesting thought and I'll have to think about that more deeply. I think one thing that we need to remember is that with a fixed mortgage, you are paying tomorrow's mortgage at today's prices. As inflation rises

We should outlaw ARM for most people. It should only be for "accredited borrows" like we do for investing. People who don't really understand the risks get screwed and it creates unnecessary bubbles.

This is interesting to think about but I disagree with the framing of the example: The studious man marries the first person they date and commits to life-long faithfulness regardless of any potential misalignment. The curious man dates lot

Every time that this topic comes up it goes the same way. I wish that we could all collectively agree that this is a PREFERENCE . One way is not objectively better than the other. They both have trade-offs. We could actually make some prog

Serious question: What would be better? What would that look like? (I think the current one is perfect for 1:1 conversations .. Multiple people is more of an issue visually)

We also need to remember that 75%+ of the plastic in the great big garbage patch in the pacific is from fishing. But we also need to be clear that this is ALL our faults. We may say we dutifully collect our plastic bottles and separate th

At this point, I see crypto as nothing more than digital penny stocks. It isn't all scams, just mostly.

Or it could give plausible deniability. Maybe Twitter is trying to help the activists without explicitly saying so to keep Twitter accessible in Iran.
