That ignores the case of feedback loops where the person who got money out of the market then turns around and re-invests at the increased price (iterating several times). Your double-entry accounting is technically correct, but that metric

Well, Facebook bought the Israeli startup Onavo explicitly so they could track which new social apps are starting to become popular on user phones, so they could quickly acquire those or copy their features and kill the competition.

1. Is this much repair indicative of abnormal use, or are Apple products not really robustly designed? 2. Why are repairs so damn expensive? Several hundred dollars each to repair a scratched screen or replace a torn earcup fabric!?!?!?!?

Regolith is literally just i3 (plus Gnome) with sane defaults. FWIW, it's also slowly getting decoupled from the underlying Ubuntu infrastructure. Eg, here's regolith for Arch linux: https://github.com/gardotd426&#

That logic ignores the potential criminality of the activity. If a bunch of robbers incorporate an LLC, would you want to limit their liability to their tools and the getaway vehicle so the LLC can “declare bankruptcy”? Those sponsoring the

Do you mean the exact idea behind MADDNESS or just "ML for multiplying matrices"? The latter doesn't mean much without the former :-)

Depending on what they are seeking, Zoho [1] might be a good choice (has most pieces of the office/apps/IT suite). I've also heard that Zoho has been having very good traction in Europe, especially among users looking to avoi

I was disappointed by how much of the previous discussion [1] avoided what (in my reading) was the most interesting point -- the absolute situated and interactive nature of development which almost no other language/system supports

IIUC, Mailspring (Nylas?) inserted their own cloud layer in between your device and a cloud email provider, to store email and provide "value added" features; so it's not cloud-free and requires trusting one more entity.

Since it’s not exactly clear to me… what’s the idea behind the project? Is it just being able to compile generic (linear algebra like) beam forming code for XLA/GPU backed a with self-tuning parameters? Is is more than that?

Great vibe! To add to the mix: As a teen when I first started frequenting the interwebz, one of my favorite sites was personal website with a lot of great science content, with a very hand-crafted vibe (which continues to this day!): https

It’s “data humans might be interested in” rather than “data as we happen to implement using semiconductor circuits”. “Data-centric” is an overloaded concept that means different things to different groups of people (all legitimate).

Quick thought: reminiscent of Stewart Brand’s concept of pace layering. —— Can’t shake the feeling that I’ve just read something profound I need to ruminate on a lot :-)

We often exhort the public to “follow the science” — but provide no tools to distinguish between good science and bad science. Heck, it looks like even journals and expert reviewers can’t differentiate any more! The average person is as lik

Something I’m struck by in reading such discussions (esp on forums) is how often people’s choice of programming languages (and tools, more generally) is from a defensive stance. I understand that when working on problems where better techno

Actually, I forgot to pay homage to LightTable. It had a fantastic vision, a compelling initial demo, and showed it was possible to radically innovate in the editor landscape. IIUC, it played a role in inspiring Atom. Pity things turned out

Maybe it makes sense to integrate the editor’s auto-save with git, so that every file system save call is paired with a git commit (referenced by time stamp). Whenever the user manually snapshots a commit with a message/tag (or after s

This article nicely articulates why counting might be problematic if counts are not representative of what they’re proposing to measure. Another way in which it’s very hard to get counting right is when the phenomenon being observed canno
