Who do you think kickstart a bullrun ? SBF was a huge part of the last one...

Cryptocurrencies were meant to extract value from naive anarchists. They do work.

Free and unlimited ? I had a water leak that took time to fix, I saw it on the bill, and the utility company too, fining me for "industrial-grade" usage. If you consume yourself more than everyone else in your building, someone wi

It is know since companies have existed that this is indeed bad corporate governance. The CEO should be firable at the leisure of the board, and the board at the leisure of the shareholders. What seems to happen often is blurried lines: the

It is because you should separate the style of execution from the target effect: Musk sounds like a bumbling idiot but... he s halving payroll... it's gonna reduce the load tremendously for a while and if he stops innovating, swallow a

Honestly I quite companies while being grateful to them... I m not sure why the need to be salty here: they cant keep these people, what can they say?

Well it's less pejorative than "white tech bros" which encompasses an even broader range of cultural variations.

No, and workers rights are usually about the amount of compensation for all this. In France, which we cant argue is laissez-faire capitalist, they can burn the company to the ground with all your work stuff for all we care so long as they c

And you dont buy Champagne only because it tastes good, or in fact, it tastes good because it's a small luxury you afford yourself rarely. It has to come from Champagne and be a bit expensive or there's no point. If we needed spar

But that s ok and acceptable: you didnt pay, you didnt insure, you must accept best effort service I fear.

Which sadly means nothing, so many details being hidden behind the words "general", "intelligence", "running", "quantum computer", "ought", "oberve" and "existing". If yo

But you underestimate our ability to downsize, turn around and build them locally on a 5-year horizon, and our ability to backtrack tensions anyway if we re reaching a nuclear point. We will give Ukraine to Russia if we can save Paris.

It is very unlikely, if not impossible: China has repeatedly stated Taiwan is in China, Taiwan has repeatedly stated they, in fact, are the legitimate China, both prepare day and night for an invasion they never dismiss, and both are a dire

Even for frontend, repurposing on the frontend stuff that were done in the past on the backend can be ecoterrorism squared. For instance, a small team of 40 people found no issue sending 4MB of json english to chinese string localisation to

Your only mistake, then, was that unlike a consultancy based solution, not enough people were able to take credit for it. I know it sounds counter intuitive, but to sell an idea, it's best to make every buyer think it was theirs all al

What we can do is wait: as with all bad things, the more it happens the less it works: one day, being "cancelled" by morons will be as seeked by film markers as having a fatwah or a catholic church disapproval. It will mean you sa

I work in an authoritarian country (Hong Kong) and it s not what you think. You cant transplant a well paid foreigner expecting a breakthrough: his entire team will spend their time enforcing the red tape to teach him to adapt and by the ti

Defund was probably a bad choice of word, and reform a better one ? But if people can only deal with single-word manifestos, then you re bound to misinterpret.

Maybe unvolontary sexism ? There s a difference between the base macho sexism, embracing the gender divide, degrading women as sexual consumption near-objects, and the simp putting women on a pedestal so high he d even rather they don'

No it's a well known phenomenon. It's like opening the door only to women to simplify, but it will impact for instance a vote decision: "women are too precious to be dragged into political fights". Another analogy I&#x27

Come on, a multi screen setup at home is better than some half asses 3D VR attempt: at BEST we ll have multi screens inside the 3D world because we need flat surfaces with tons of written stuff on them...

I dont even care: im fine with 20 chat windows with history I can cycle through as they illuminate... Anything the VR stuff is doing feels like a "good on paper" awful distraction.
