It’s not self centered at all. People act because there is some benefit to them in their action. You suggested I take an action without providing a convincing benefit. I was actual…

And yet, there are upvotes and they’re displayed to the poster. Also, I used the word ostensibly to imply I may personally have some other motivation. But in either cases, the broa…

I wasn't aware one died of a staph infection. The other officially died from suicide.

Two Boeing whistleblowers "committed suicide" within a few weeks of each other.

Definitely the people working on the model. It ultimately doesn’t matter what the users want because you can’t arbitrarily deliver an experience. You can only deliver what it’s pos…

Being the one best suited to meet your customers needs is a sales strategy. That might include staying open late if you can convince people they’re going to regret not tasting your…

It’s not a captive market. It’s a market where the buyer has a need and if they don’t have that need met, then the buyer will suffer. That’s FOMO, and that’s when sales happen. If …

I disagree. For instance, let’s say I’m an auto manufacturer and I need some parts made. If I don’t get those parts, I have to stall my assembly line and lose a lot of money. If I …

The flaw in your logic is that you’re taking too myopic a view. In your world “making something worse” is somehow divorced from the tyranny of convenience, but in reality it’s not.…

You should read this piece in the NYT titled “The Tyranny of Convenience” [1]. It asserts that your entire worldview is essentially flawed. En masse, people do what is most conveni…

Reducing variance in a random outcome still has value. For instance, you might have the money to cover an adverse outcome, but if you could guarantee you wouldn't need the money, t…

How does it not work that way? Password cracking is infinitely parallelizable.

So 99 of them could crack a password in 1 year? That is easily obtainable and not secure at all.

Also in the NYC area. There seems to be a major shortage of blue collar labor: contractors, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, etc. the cost of home renovations is truly staggerin…

Even if the copy the header, they can only perform a replay attack, which is an improvement over leaking an API key. Also, you could include a timestamp in the signature to limit t…

It’s really unclear to you why a long term neurotoxin that leads to lifelong disability is worse than allergy producing pollen?

Yes, but isn’t lead getting into your bloodstream worse than pollen? I mean oxygen gets into your bloodstream via inhalation…

I don’t really consider making an API call as “logging in”. The term sounds really out of place other than in a few specific contexts.

Everything is interconnected. People who commute to work need a car. If parking is unavailable, then commuters cannot live there. If workers can't live there, then property taxes a…

Clearly there is a limit. Otherwise, you could circumvent all copyright by saying "The contents of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is ". While technically a fact, it's pro…

There’s definitely an element of evolution: domesticated animals have evolved to have human recognizable emotions. But that’s not to say they’re not “real” or even “human.” Do huma…

All this should tell you is that inflation is vastly under-counted.
