How about a Hippocratic Oath for business leaders? This is shifting the responsibility from management towards the engineers. It's not the engineers who pulled the trigger at Facebook - or Microsoft. They build the weapons. Management

Isn't this the reason why it is called Rome? In JavaScript history, we are past Babel (and the Greek city states) and a centralized tooling will allow for an unprecedented language economy? Constantinople and Moscow are waiting, as wel

Because they like milk. You can justify anything if you want it to be true. Where does this end? Industrial farming kills insects. We obviously don't have the same amount of love for insects as we have for cows. But why should cows liv

Long-term, the only valuable resource is attention. Content is accumulating, faster and faster due to automation, thus its value is declining. Artists can make money with concerts so they will pay you to become part of your life. Even now,

Maybe because Bezos stops being involved and there is nobody inside the company who dares to change whatever Bezos has implemented? Reading the tweets, it seems like Bezos made all the important decisions. If he is not around because he is

What can you do, what do you know? If there were a clever answer that fits everybody, all the banks would already have poured all available money into it. You maximize your returns by beating the market. You beat the market by being more cl

If you have an orchestra with 100 musicians who receive something like $10^5 per year, you pay $10^7 per year. You need several years to practice and to form the orchestra into a team with a repertoire. If it takes 10 years, then that is $1

Seems like they have enough resources to train their translation NN and speech-to-text NN. I don't think google has introduced those features for the users in the first place but they were a means to get training data.

It's a crisis because it is happening abruptly. The price for hydrocarbons will rise much slower, like the increased consumption of the growing population of the world. Meanwhile, more renewable energy will be installed. There will be

However, will it lead to a crisis? The hunger for new things simply dies down if they are not affordable. It's already happening. Energy is much more expensive than it used to be. Resources are more expensive so that new products have

You also can't guarantee that you won't be hit by a meteorite and yet you leave your house. If you worry about the signal not being received and the inability of air traffic control to spot the irregularity, then only initiate saf

How do you create planetary structures but with super-companies and rich people? People don't innovate by themselves. The workers and/or engineers of the US or the world could have pooled their money and built AWS or space rockets
