With Bitcoin cash wouldn't be so cheaply available to the selected few. Gentrification means that the demand for urban space is growing. The huge inflation in fiat supply means that more fiat can be spent on buying urban buildings and

A part of why people are buying Teslas is because of the vision of getting rid of most CO2 car emissions. If the vision would change, people wouldn't buy as many cars which would impact the value of the company quite badly, so it won&#

When was the last time you tried to rent an apartment in a city (close to the jobs available)? I'm sure the official inflation rates are low, but when you're looking at real life of real people, they _need_ to move to a big city i

Pushing dinner later is just a signal for people that the company doesn't want them to have social lifes. Most cuttings from this list can be OK, but I think dinner time isn't strictly about cost cutting and I am not sure that&#x2

What is the biggest cost in the equipment? I'm sure a big part of it is engineering but there must be expensive hand craft part as well.

''After the 28nm node, we can continue to make transistors smaller, but not cheaper.'' As computer vision and reinforcement learning improved dramatically in the last few years, robots will take over a lot of manufactur

I'm in Europe and it's unusable for me as well...it all depends on a lot of factors, it's easy to get cheap flat if you are OK to live far from the city center of a city with good job opportunities

The more free money printing is going on, the more I'm incentivized to buy/use Bitcoins from my hard work's money. UBI centralizes power to the money printers even more, gives a little to those who don't work (for their

The tax fraud doesn't have anything to do with Bitcoin. The top comment explains it more, but it was clear from earlier news about him as well.

It's quite different. Still, even if the revenues of big companies are real, and the P/E ratios are in a smaller bubble than in 2000, the problem is that if there's a deflation in the world, the ad revenues will dry up as wel

Of course he wants to be left alone: he didn't pay taxes. Also of course there is no real public proof as he's not Satoshi.

This problem is quite similar to the GAI problem: the more automation we have, the greater damage an attack can have. The question is whether there is any way to limit the biggest attacks that can happen? I don't think, but I wish ther

I think Haseeb wants to offer genuine help to women. If this woman doesn't want to take the advice, it's OK. Just ignore it. But please don't write a blog post about how he communicates instead of what's important: the m

It means it won't take long after we are doomed. Singularity which can bring doom and eternal life comes at almost the same time. I would pick longevity over Singularity any time.

I'm sure that many women in tech have problems, although I view them as equal whenever I work with them. Also I am sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings with my comment. I'm just not sure if it helps the general view on women in

Is this to improve taxation for David Copperfield or to get money in some other form from the government?

I don't know the exact reason why all banks and central banks are long stocks and not short right now, and I'm sure they will change their position when they think it's worth it, but currently QE money has a big correlation w

Thanks, so the main message is clear: it's worth to interview with other companies as well instead of just focusing on getting promotion. It was just not talked about that much before in the software community.

QE and the banks buying stocks is the same thing: QE helps banks loan money extremely cheap which they can use to long the stock market.

Yes, and it was always the case for people in not-so-lucky countries. Still it's new for U.S. centric people, because USA had a good headstart.

It looks like the journalists lose their freedom and full anonymous data leaks with much more data to mine will replace it.

Script analysis would take much more effort probably, but it could work if the colour is in the movie script...in that case object detection gets important as well. Just using more training data to cover all the dog breeds and car colours w

You're right, it would be a fun side effect to see the color change between different scenes :) I guess there's not enough in commercial interest in fixing these problems, but it can be probably done with the current algorithms.
