Interestingly this cousin comment of yours illustrates precisely why we definitely cannot trust every driver to be a responsible adult -- and would be foolish to pretend that we could: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29

I should have chosen my words better. The point is, given that there is limited capacity for MIQ slots -- some citizens will inevitably be bounced by pay-for-visa holders who are also in line.

The article clearly didn't claim it was "sufficient". So I'm not sure what you're driving at, here.

This is just Agile/Scrum to me People were doing milestones decades, generations, centuries before "Agile" came along.

This isn’t what’s happening. I don't know how you can say that. It's the inevitable result of a system with finite capacity (once capacity is reached).

The history of the industry is littered with the carcasses of counterexamples. A great team is defined by what it actually, in fact, creates (which is determined by many factors). Not by the sum of the potentials of its contributors.

No, but we'll all become incrementally better by understanding the difference between necessary (what the article said) and sufficient (what you said it said).

As a New Zealander, I am super supportive of easier pathways for wealthy people to bring themselves, their expertise, their connections, and their money here. Do you support denying re-entry to people who are already citizens as a means o

In almost all countries you can buy citizenship if you're rich. This isn't about simply "buying citizenship". It's about literally bouncing people who are already citizens out (for the duration of the pandemic).

Look up Andrej Karpathy on GitHub I'm not worried about Karpathy, but rather Musk, whose public conduct is positively unhinged. And I know that even Elon cannot predict when we can take off that steering wheel. Which must be why he

Anyone who urgently needed to return had the ability to secure a room in December. I don't see how this is relevant. Moving forward, citizens and migrant workers will still be forced to get in line behind wealthy investors.

From first principles, I think the most we can say about any of those future goodies and gizmos we've been promised -- warp drives, longevity, colonies on Mars, asteroid mining -- is "we're not getting there anytime soon&quot

The problem isn't that the software is overprotective. But that these companies specifically (fraudulently) market these assisted driving capabilities as providing more safety / autonomy than they actually do. By giving these feat

Anything is "straightforward" after doing it for 20+ years. Just ask a COBOL programmer.

The opposite of "selective ignorance" is not publishing their verbal flatulence in full and as-is.

"We do not tolerate racist language regardless of intent" Which is plainly false of course. Within +/- 2 weeks of that famous pronouncement there was a Times Magazine article (no less) featuring that very word, spelled out

In fact, in June, comparable paroxysms of internal and external outrage were directed at Ms. Weiss’s one-time boss, James Bennet, head of the Times Opinion pages, after he published an op-ed written by a U.S. Senator arguing that federal t

Why the attitude? I didn't mean to come across with attitude. Only that your question about intrinsic value seemed rather .. weird. My point with that parentheses was that there are a lot of things that has no intrinsic value but st

I prefer documentation, I do too, in theory. In reality though, 90 percent of the time it's essentially unnavigable / unsearchable / basically intractable to use. What you want is simply something that tells you "how

I don't claim it has intrinsic value (what has?) Gosh, I don't know -- a loaf of bread? A shiny new car? Do you understand the meaning of the word, actually? But it's still scarce. So what?
