He is still a part of Comma, as far as it seems, he is just by his own admission not the best guy to lead a company that got big enough for him and which needs certain stability and adhere to certain bureaucracy if you will. In some way, I

So he was appropriately dressed to be in a snowmachine in the Alaskan outdoors, and could start a fire. Which to me reads that he cleared the absolute minimum essentials to not be a complete idiot. That still doesn't explain how he was

So I guess until Apple came up with this, people living in remote parts of Alaska where pretty much screwed unless they had a satellite phone. I'm no expert in what living efficiently and safely in such a place is, but I know that in p

So would I. But if I decided to traverse dangerous largely inhabited terrain and my only means of salvation are my phone with a brand new largely untested feature, then I'd be an idiot who took a big risk.

Einstein is allegedly white. But it's completely unproven whether this game was played by either of them.

The origin of this game and its attribution to Einstein and Oppenheimer is greatly disputed. And yet it has been floating online for more than two decades now without a proper source.

Yes, people are still using Twitter. TikTok is a very different thing, it's not a replacement for Twitter.

It's not the case. And the two different tournaments used very different time controls, which essentially makes a different "kind" of chess. One was rapid (and played online with computers, but sitting across from each other)

No GM would be stupid enough to cheat playing 100% engine lines, they of all people know which engine lines would look particularly suspicious. All they need to know is to avoid any serious blunders, and play some important moves here and t

It stands to reason that they don't care for HN referred donations as the hoop seems to be very deliberately put in place for a reason.

And then there is Pom Poko, which is in no small part about the giant and magical testicles of Japanese raccoon dogs. edit: I think I'm being downvoted because people assume it's a bad joke, but that's really in the movie. An

His background is as a developer himself, and he co-founded x.com which was very much a tech company, which later merged into PayPal. Musk was CEO of PayPal for a few years until the company was bought by eBay.

I think it would be fair to say that "fixing Twitter" would be more in line with Musk's actual experience (ie: running a tech company) than rescuing kids in Thailand or fixing water supplies.

Choice is generally good in my opinion. Considering what the majority of Github is as a community I would very much doubt that the majority is going to be making their profiles private. Making it private makes no sense if you collaborate an

According to what do you conclude that the track record for real therapy is pretty poor? Some study or just some subjective perception?

Sorry to have to be that person but I think it's plainly irresponsible to put yourself in a position to want to help people who are troubled, lost and confused and possibly in need of professional help on which you claim to have no tra
