If all the waste heat was using for heating, then you might have a point. If you have to start burning extra electricity (fans, cooling systems) to keep your GPU or ASIC cool, your argument falls apart. I also don't think people are us

Exactly. The Wright Brothers weren't thinking about going to Mars, they wanted to make a "bird" that people could ride like a horse. New inventions spur more new inventions and new ideas. Sometimes it is just an old problem s

Well, some places are making education illegal so that is problematic too. I think the way you get rid of racism is always just via exposure. It is easy to hate group X when you don't know any X or are never in contact with them. Peopl

I've always found this fight for search choice on iOS to be bad for Apple. If they had to give a choice for search engine on setup or make it easy to switch the default, 99.99% of people would still choose Google and Apple would lose

I think it is trust in the trust and verify sense. Meaning, we trust each other to do our best but let us verify that we are all on the same page and aren't breaking things or doing something harmful.

Well said. Afaik, people aren't getting compensated by LOC * $X. Sometimes the value to the team/product/company is higher by going to pointless meetings than it is by being a code monkey in your basement. No process is per

Nothing. It is all a pyramid scheme so literally do whatever you want. I'm surprised someone hasn't written a script to copy existing ones and re-upload with a lower price.

One thing I learned in my many years in this life: you can't fix inequity by inching slowly in the "right" direction. However, the "right" stopping point is too often controlled by the same oppressors. You have to b

How do you define efficient? There are lots of ways to slice the data. Large farms need economies of scale to pay for $1M tractors. I don't see anyone paying for something that expensive and raising a family on 40 acres.

Well, that makes a lot of sense since covid is particularly lethal among those that are immuno-compromised.

Well said. Also, you get to decide everything. There are no meetings or planning sessions. You can change your mind halfway through and no one else cares. Control can be quite satisfying.

We should just drop to 50 years. Most people have a working career of 50 years. Having 50 years to earn off your creation seems fair to everyone.

I listened to a recent podcast on NPR that talked about this. (This is just one source so find others.) One couple was drawing down retirement money and slashing spending rather than work horrible conditions in tv/movies. They both sai

If the government pays people to not grow crops, do you have a free market? If the government props up certain industries with $BB in subsidies, do you have a free market? If the government approves mega-mergers that remove the ability for

Exactly, a "bad" process followed completely will always outperform a "good" process followed intermittently.

Designing card and board games. This started pre-covid and I have always enjoyed card games and board games. Playing games has always felt a bit like trying to solve a puzzle. Designing a game is simply making a puzzle for other people to s

Agreed, I think we need to change the narrative to get the politicians to "get it". Instead of all the talk about protecting us from __________ (random evil), we need to highlight the consequence of these plans. We need journalist

I agree we aren't close to civil war but it isn't as simple as saying 'get rid of extreme elements'. All "media" is specifically designed to foster faux outrage to sell more ads. When is the last time a headl

I don't know enough about this subject but does anyone know if this bacteria is harmful to humans? Like could it eat the micro-plastics in our water and food and still be safe if we later ingested it?

The thing I don't understand is why aren't we building something here on Earth that is underground designed to be a self-sustaining system. It seems like if we can't figure out how to do it here, we have no chance to do it on

Not just want, they feel entitled to it. It is their RIGHT . This is why we have such a wealth gap, the game is rigged.

Sure but it becomes an arms race. There is also a lot of people that have shown that you can make images of dogs and cats that hash to Apple's hash detector. At some point a white hat is going to start making memes that cause hash coll

I wonder if in the future we'll need a "unique-inize" app that will make trivial changes to pictures and videos that change their hash and their size by a few bytes to defeat this kind of nonsense. Changing even one pixel&#x2

Health care overload is mentioned by others and the main reason. I hope you don't have a heart attack when the ER and ICU are filled with people who don't need to be there. It is heartbreaking that someone made this health crisis

For my previous boss, I have the rule of 3. Until he asked for something 3 times, I just said "yep" and didn't start it. If he asked three times, he wasn't going to forget so time to start moving it forward.

It also depends on the company. I've worked at companies where the #1 project can change weekly and by that I mean the previous project is completely abandoned for the new shiny. If you've worked at a place like this (there are lo

Another very promising treatment for type 2 is DMR. We need to do a lot more research on the duodenum as it is clear it is a major linchpin in type 2. [ https://gut.bmj.com/content/69/2/295 ]

Among other things, mostly encryption. Most of our current methods depends on P != NP. So no need for 0 days if you can just read at encrypted data as if it wasn't.

Globally, we have done a poor job preparing people for the shots. I only had symptoms after my first jab but I immediately ate lunch and started hydrating heavily. Nothing at all for my last two, maybe some very mild fatigue and injection s

I think we have to be very careful with data from around the world. There are a lot of co-factors. We already know that generally being immuno-compromised makes covid a much riskier proposition for those groups. In a recent deep dive into t
