It's a bit fuzzy but I remember a chapter in the Count of Monte Cristo where the Count bankrupt an enemy by bribing a telegraph agent to pass a false geopolitical (Spain?) report to cause market crash of bonds of that country and push

The way I see it Facebook+ is a societal problem and so is a larger one than the usual tech monopoly problem which Google fall in (which is still a problem though, just not on the same level).

Comprehension is different than approbation though. Maybe it becomes too philosophical but for me we can grow to appreciate the different perspective of others, what we have in common as human beings, and not judge them harshly because we a

Thinking we should grow out of morality because it's childish is a good excuse though.

Maybe tangential but that makes me think how opposing mathematics/science/rationality to art/intuition/emotions with people falling in one or the other category seems a relatively recent phenomenon, whereas in the past (

For institutional investors it will react maybe one quarter before it actually happens, and for retail it could continue even with their feet in water with good marketing.

I see that Rapamyacin is a mTor inhibitor. From my years of lurking r/fitness my understanding is that is the “growth pathway” that you want to activate for muscle building (with whey for example). But it doesn’t look like people with

Actually for me I sleep better at night with caffeine in the morning. I find it helps with having a proper active / rest cycle, i.e. concentrate energy and stress during the first part of the day so I can start to wind down in the afte

Given the reactions I’m not sure Americans are uniform on this, also it’s especially puzzling that in a country with Christian roots people would say that (I’m not talking about defending your life, children or home of course).

I think you miss my point. I’m not questioning the self-defense, it’s pretty clear in the video, but the moral responsibility of someone protecting a property by being in the street with a rifle in the first place (I’m not talking about per

I am not American and I didn’t follow these events but sorry for me after watching that video it’s still complicated: the self-defense seems justified, but the initial issue of protecting property with guns is not: material possession and p

Saying that corporations prefer something they can profit from without giving back vs something they can not is circular reasoning to me. Conversely if you look on the other side you'll see developers bitten by permissive software lice

It's a good point, management and execs always take the blame for that kind of behavior but engineers are guilty too.

I recommend to start with "Elements of Programming Interviews (in Java or Python)". It serves as a nice practical overview of the main algorithms and data structures and when to use them. Personally I found it more complete than t

Also the issue with aggregates indicators is that some expenses can be more easily adapted than others: it’s easier to buy a less powerful smartphone/TV/GPU than to heat or eat less.

And who is right? This kind of illustrate my point: there is no universal natural intrinsic value, it can differ a lot from a person to another. Bitcoin or Van Gogh pieces have value for those who chose to see value in them, no matter the r

The entertainment value is insignificant compared to the cost of the piece. To me it looks like Bitcoin just put an uncomfortable fact in plain light: humans are irrational and sometimes like to arbitrarily give value to some things and not
