I think that considering Amazon, a company with independent business units in completely different business (retail and cloud computing) as an entity with a single personality is about as accurate as thinking everyone from the same country

I imagine there's a lot of value in having your employees share a timezone for the benefit of easy cooperation, so it might make sense to have at least timezone-dependent salaries. There might also be value in having your employees be

I think any single-seat election, regardless of voting system, stabilises when there are only two popular parties from which candidates can get elected. I don't believe voting systems such as instant-runoff or approval voting can avoid

Isn't YouTube banning certain content exactly what free speech is about? YouTube, a corporate entity with its own goals and beliefs, exercises its right to say what it thinks is the truth. It's similar to most newspapers: they&#x2

While reading I wasn't convinced this was going to work due to the collusion problem, until I read the comments on collusion which add an extra condition: "we need votes to be so private that even the person who made the vote can&

There's a lot of talk in this thread about what intelligence is. Personally I found the AIXI model from algorithmic information theory a very convincing definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIXI I'm surp

So, what would be an effective way of making censorship impossible? I imagine a system where you publish news using your device (a mobile phone), and encrypted in a way so that only a small group of other devices, which you have explicitly

What's the use-case for many virtual threads? I thought the main case for using threads was performance, where you need to use them to fully utilize the machine, although rather you wouldn't be using threads. Another use-case for

Although I don't agree with their way of communicating, I think the protestors' concern is valid: they will be forced to move because Google's rich employees will price them out of their living area. This is because of two re

Well, I think I can make a simpler argument. Google will change this neighbourhood. The culture will change, the cost of things, not just rent, will increase. Assuming that the author is very happy with how his neighbourhood currently is, I
