I don't think C is un-opinioniated. It's opinions are just quite popular, so people don't think they are opinions.

I'm not sure; that's part of the reason I was asking. I do think, however, that a 12 year timeline seems too long for any project. Usually people can't work effectively toward goals that far in the future. But maybe this cont

From the link, could anyone explain why there is a $148 million dollar contract for F35 testing expected to be completed in 2032? Why would it take 12 years to perform testing?

I have no knowledge of the startup world, but based on the article, if both the founder and employees have common shares then their incentives are aligned (i.e. the founder wouldn't want to sell the company unless the price was well ab

I'm really enjoying this memo collection. One suggestion for future memos you might add: it would be great if each document had a date.

Tor doesn't work for torrenting and anything high bandwidth.

I don't get why this is different than thinking of it as servers vs serverless. Isn't a "code runner" rather than a complete computer what serverless means?

I've thought of a good way to put this perspective. The block reward is 12.5 BTC (and fees are neglible), which is $100000. There's a new block every ~15 minutes, which means 35000 blocks per year. ($100000 * 35000 / 73 TWH)

I think you're wrong that this affects conservatives significantly more than other groups (and maybe that betrays your personal bias). What is true is that people who are beliefs much are out of far outside the norm for their workplace

No the point is that there are other voting reform laws that will have an actual effect on improving representation and don't have the practical effect of preventing black people from voting. I'm suggesting the problems we have wi

So if the U.S. makes a law that fines companies for criticizing the president, and then Blizzard fires an employee for criticizing the president to avoid the fine, it's Blizzard's decision in the end and everything's fine? I

Designing a system where people in power take actions that cause them to be less likely to remain in power is probably one of the most intractable problems in political science. It's why the U.S. has first past the post, why gerrymande

I think they're not because of free speech. The question is whether banning people from your platform counts as speech. Which it probably does.

That's because Blizzard did the "right" thing in the government's view. Just because the influence isn't visible doesn't mean it's not there, and invisible influence may be even more pernicious.

It's significantly different because in one case the corporations made the decisions without government influence and in the other they made the decision because of government influence.

10% of households don't have a computer and 15% of adults don't have a driver's license. Maybe your experiences don't generalize to the rest of the population. Also, many states require you register to far ahead of time

Considering I believe that we discover physical laws, rather than invent them, that definition makes less sense to me.

by zucker42 7y ago
Considering that "the laws of physics" means by definition "the things that are observed to happen in the natural world" I don't think observable phenomenon can break the laws of physics. They can change our underst

Most free fare experiments have been failures from what I've seen. City Beautiful has a video about it. Free fare can attract people who are less desirable to ride with, even potentially decreasing ridership.

One involves breaking U.S. law, one doesn't. Completely different situations considering Adobe/Apple are U.S. based.

Why is trading volume the metric for "most used". Shouldn't we be measuring the actual use of the cryptocurrency in exchange for real goods and services?

It doesn't have to happen in the entire U.S. all at once, just a city at a time.
