I thought the same thing. These kind of analysis will point you towards already flooded markets (how many fitness apps there are already? My local gym has one..), when you’d be way more interested in going after markets unknown to most peop

I get the idea (although I’m not sure I’d call it a ‘fallacy’), but the examples are horrible.

Why is “making most of your money from interest” better than “making most of your money from credits”? If you asked me what’s more likely, for interest rates (to customers) to fall or for emission credits to stop, I know where I’d put my be

Maybe it’s me but what I read in that paragraph is: If you use the SRD, you are required to report any vulnerability. If you didn’t, you are not required but encouraged. It doesn’t say if you used it you aren’t eligible for reward

My security model actually is “I don’t trust myself”. One of the obvious conclusions from modern security research is that the user has become the number one vulnerability in pretty much all systems. The corollary that a lot of people miss

It doesn’t suggest that you aren’t eligible for bounties, but rather that you are not allowed to not disclose a vulnerability.

It implies that a higher than average percentage of holders weren’t institutional entities, since they knew the price would go down (even if they didn’t knew the magnitude of the drop), but rather small investors unaware of the warrants

I’ve started to learn about options, but for now I’m staying with long term stock investment. Maybe I’m not understanding the language, but I thought RH and eToro and the like made money through enabling high frequency trading against their

A lot of people are missing the obvious way to avoid scrutiny, use another big twitter account to tweet what you are about to do. You might be the only trader taking investment advice from Taylor Swift, but plausible deniability is all yo

There’s no way this is cheaper than just shipping water from other parts of the world. I don’t even believe that “comparable to Fiji price”

They're expensive until your application require that level of performance. The idea that prices should depend in any way of costs is ridiculous.

They can do both at the same time, it's just that a time series is not a very useful representation, you want something similar to an FFT.

That conflict is only there if you assume redistribution is forced rather than opt-in.

I always find these email threads very hard to follow, specially on mobile. Is there anyway to have them shown more friendly?

Maybe it’s that I have very weird friends, but pretty much no libertarian I’ve met has defended zero redistribution. They all hate the way it’s done now, and favor other arrangements like a negative income tax or UBI (as a substitute for

I know that this is an appeal to wikipedias authority, but the “Justice” article starts with: > Justice, in its broadest sense is the principle that people receive that which they deserve Which contradicts pretty harshly with your concep

I’m not saying it’s a good bet. I’m saying that if you are going to throw the money out the window anyway, throwing it at new stuff is a much more promising heuristic (even if in this particular case it’s a bad move)

Whatever the incentives were, I actually prefer this choice to the alternatives. This project (like Galileo) is about subsidizing the space sector first, and application is a distant 34th. I'd rather see the money flowing to people try

I’d agree that 100% consistency is harmful to communication, but the primary communication happening in programming is with a computer. Even when it comes to other developers looking at your code, their internal process is “let me simulate

I’m starting to wonder if “politics” in english has a different meaning than in spanish. “Everything is politic” is meaningless to me, in the same way that “everything is top priority” is. If everything is top priority, nothing is top prior

That’s not the point of the article, the point is that if a developer gets to the point of having to break things, it should think on how to mitigate the work is forcing upon those who use its tools. It’s about being conscious about others

Most of the pain from this comes from python repos with multiple developers (on different OS) pushing code. Using indentation for control flow was a bad decision, even if most modern IDEs now have good solutions for it.
