No economics is "economics 101" stuff. Economics 101 is a gross over simplification to get students accustomed to basic concepts. There's a reason economics is called the dismal science. You've got a system where everyth

It's a lack of appreciation for how complicated the brain really is. The "secret sauce" is "it's really frickin' complex and we don't understand a fraction of it". It's like comparing an abacus t

The benefits are similar to when you consolidate tasks with a lot of similarities. Advancements in one area can be immediately applied to another area. You can consolidate your effort into a single point. Training a network is increasingly

The article talks about trust but doesn't even mention the insane amount of trust blockchain solutions are expecting you to put on the cryptography that it utilizes. This idea that crypto is some impenetrable fortress is ridiculous. At

Maybe this worked for you but this isn't going to work for many people. I'm guessing clothes coming off a chrome shelving unit would look like you put them in a waffle iron. You can buy drying units that use dehumidification. The

Most of the commentary I see focuses exclusively on the technical aspects of drying clothes, heat exchangers, humidity, mould problems but I haven't seen one comment on the labor aspect of it. It takes a significant amount of time to t

Nobody cares about decentralization - they just want to X, and X can be a lot of things. It's like the saying, "people don't want a quarter inch drill, they want a quarter inch hole". My opinion is that I don't mind

It feels like a lot of the replies here are dubious and I suspect a large number of them are from antivaxxers who are trying to amplify a message of, "See, even people that got the vaccine are sick and tired of it. They're with us

I was waiting for someone to bring up IPFS. Unfortunately it only serves to obscure the absurdity of NFTs. It makes what the NFT points to immutable, nothing else and it still doesn't guarantee that it's actually available. I real

This article has nothing to do with wealthy families losing their wealth after two generations. The 70% number is a complete fabrication, they couldn't even be bothered with coming up with a more believable number like 73%, or even def

Ah, the raw underbelly of the semantic web exposed for all to see. The semantic web is what you get when you let the Lisa Simpsons of the world run things. It all starts with a seemingly reasonable premise. We need unambiguous names for thi

Thank you. Some perspective is warranted. If society can cope with crack and meth without completely falling apart it can survive Facebook. What I do think is that this is covering up for more fundamental problems, like people being worked

You’re very welcome. If you think that’s brutal just wait until you step out of that bubble you’re living in. Your entire list is, “do I want to make more money or a lot more money”. You seem to exhibit very little self awareness.

I've always thought it would be fun do say, "Ok, this sounds like a fun game. It's only fair that if you get to ask me a question I get to ask you one." I'd be willing to bet 90% of the interviewers would crumble on

What's really great is if you can get the interviewer talking about themselves. If you're lucky you'll spend the entire interview nodding and saying things like, "wow", "that's really cool. How did you com

I don't get why people lose their minds about basic economics when they talk about housing construction. It's not like you can't get bricks and concrete in the US. You can, it's just going to cost you including the added

I've found that to be generally true but there's one caveat, it only hurts your neck looking up from horizontal not from horizontal down. Think about how you read a book. You don't hold it directly out in front of you, you ki
