Yet another business model that doesn't add up if you account for all negative externalities. Do you think the founders of these companies knew that before starting?

Sounds weird when you ask the question that way, but if you ask "is there a non-black marble in the bag?" the answer is clearly no. So the question is more like: Should "all marbles in the bag are black" be exactly equal

Seems like the correct response is no response because you don't want to confirm that the number is in active use? They must at least record a bit that you replied, which makes your number a more valuable commodity.

The only way I can see this making sense to anybody who is paying attention is if its presented as a tool to help their political side, which is obviously correct, against the opposing side, which is obviously the devil. Surely if _they_ ha

You can search the space of evolutionarily adjacent entities faster by semicloning once and letting the fittest of those semiclone further, compounding the mutations. Such a strategy will likely out-compete a slower searching one into extin

If you like Sudoku, check out Sudoku + extra rules. This channel solves them daily, which I really enjoy watching, but they also have a link in the description to a great website where you can solve it yourself, for free. They are all hand-

The tax wouldn't affect all properties equally. It would punish undeveloped / under-developed land much more. Those owners could try to pass it on to the renter, if there is one, but the renter can move to better developed land th

I don't think this is much deeper than modern media abusing a strong expectation set-up by past media. The short-term mysteries are only as interesting as the audiences expectation that they will be resolved in an interesting way. We a

It seems easy to draw a 'commodity' box around Bitcoin and thus explain what it going 'mainstream' means: just as easy to trade via legitimate institutions, on behalf of people who have no idea about managing money. A sm

Yes. Nonsense line. EVs and self-driving are orthogonal concepts. The only reason to combine them is to make a cute story for gullible buyers of Tesla cars and Tesla stock. If you assume that he knows that we know that, then he is simply pu

Stories about popular topics will have a natural leg-up in becoming viral. However, while a mundane story could become popular it will be hurt by people wondering why they are seeing it, other than simply because its about a popular topic.

I think the global recession triggered enough companies to worsen their products (cost more, get less, more ads, etc) in order to increase / maintain profits that a tipping point was reached and other companies simply followed suit. A

I disagree. I avoid implicit casting, including truthiness. "== true" is indeed suspicious because you aren't avoiding anything, but to me "!= 0" or "!= nullptr" are crisper.

Thing is, seems like a lot of those questions are not answerable simply because they use ill defined terms. Can those terms be well defined? If not, what good is the question beyond confusing humans with a surface reading? If yes, then very

There is implicit lying by omission, in your favor, in these kinds of situations. You create value through scarcity but some won't know why the value is there, while others will take a long while to catch-on, giving you plenty of time
