    Today's analogy is bitcoin... Will all Bitcoin just be lost one day, because all keys get lost? I am aware that "there are solutions", but are they (really) enough? Isn't "breaking…

    The solution to this problem is very complex and occurs once you scale. The companies facing this problem are big and have the resources to solve it. The solution is non-trivial an…

    It seems to make no sense the way they do it and he is pointing that out. I am an Airbnb host and once rented to a black couple for a month. After that I had a lot of "black" conte…

    Who? Everyone knows Steve Jobs. And after small, portable music players (iPods) and smart phones (iPhones), cars and space are just the next big things ripe for disruption. Also th…

    They work 24/7. 12 hour shifts "day" and "night" with 3 and 4 days off each other week. They also distribute the work properly in parallel and have the perfect visionary (Elon) and…

    I am being ironic (which is not allowed here, actually) and I am mocking the SJW an PC pressure, which very few but loud proponents shout out on the internet, mainly social media, …

    The originator of the (generic) concept "alpha" (please let us know who this is / who you think this is) has discontinued the term "alpha" (quite an alpha-decision from him, I woul…

    A few man have a lot of offspring, which is how it makes sense again.

    The guys weren't cutting it any more. They were not delivering on the expectations of the group (growing it). Life became too harsh and stressful for them, they are not even mating…

    I read it as ironic. If it is not then: Wow. Ridiculous statement: "It just goes to show, it's never about gender, just about choices, ambition and how brave you choose to be." Fol…

    Gender doesn't matter, except when it matters. We just seem to not be able to agree where and when it matters.

    Elon's new, transplanted hair. He is very proud of it in the video, combing through it with his hand all the time. Especially with his current new hair-style: Short on the sides, l…

    In the beginning of the video they were high up and I feared Elon could fall to his death and that would bring "all of human's progress to a halt". They not only work 24 hours and …

    Yes! It refers to that all web-applications are "just" CRUD-applications in the end, reading and writing data to and from a database (e.g. Angular and React).

    Yeah, baldness must have a use / evolutionary advantage (cooling, maybe) and isn't an illness. Like having 2 arms and 2 legs, beeing gay or having black skin color.
