The problem I see with this approach is threefold. First, from a technical standpoint the required context window would be massive if you're looking at a person's career/life holis…

One issue that I see with this type of system is that it doesn't allow for parental/guardian oversight of what kids are doing or discussing. Ever gone down the auto-suggestion rabb…

China has spent the last couple of decades making inroads into Africa to secure raw materials, not because they want to annex anything on the continent.

So no one working on railroads before 1907 was a "real" professional? That's more than 100 years after the railroad was invented and took off. The Bar exam in the US didn't start u…

New unicorn founder 10x success signal just dropped

>my engineering licence would be revoked and I would be kicked out of the industry. This isn't because you're a "real" engineer, it's because of regulation and industry licensing a…

Unregulated capitalism breaks things for sure. That regulation can stem from government intervention or private ownership (or both). Regulation can also break things if done incorr…

Is that 2.5x number the average of the whole of the US compared to Switzerland? Because NYC probably has higher density than Switzerland, but Oklahoma probably has much lower than …

> To trigger building inspections in my county it can only be forced if there is compensation or commercial intent for building or use of the house, but you have to use a special p…

Velocity of Money is the term to look into. Governments also like it because as money circulates it generates tax revenue through sales tax/VAT.

Yeah, people who talk about how "fiddly" it is to game on Linux must not have tried recently, or have a very low tolerance for doing anything other than clicking play. I occasional…

Competent underlings just means that delegation works to make him look better, it doesn't make him or his actions any smarter or more effective.

A lot of those VPS instructions these days recommend a reverse proxy like Caddy or Traefik for that exact reason. I think it's also a valid argument to say that anyone playing arou…

Again, if your router or perimeter devices are appropriately managing your network then it's a non-issue. By default most home routers have IPv6 disabled, and if you're setting up …

Tossing in my two cents here to agree with you. I worked remotely on and off from about 2014 onward until post-COVID RTO brought me into an office for 18 months before I became rem…

My understanding is that docker will expose the ports to the host machine's network interfaces, which is a crucial difference. For my home server running docker that means exposed …

>The current SpaceX is in a far better financial and operational position than 10 years ago. By an order of magnitude. 90% of all payload to orbit right now is SpaceX alone. Starli…

Their leverage is a result of having the time to be involved in politics, which is itself a result of working for decades to build up to the point that they could retire. They're a…

This seems a bit like a corollary to "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent". On the timescales that matter to an individual it won't matter if the ev…

I wouldn't call it a honeypot, but it's probably compromised by the feds. It was shown a few years back that if you control enough of the exit nodes (more than some specific % that…

Less a gentleman's agreement and more of a question of economic incentives going away. Companies aren't paying out bounties at the rates they used to (possibly because they've real…

Sometimes called the "cold controller" effect as well, and not necessarily requiring sleep but rather just a break from the game.

There's not enough nuclear to go around, and the approval/permitting process for new nuclear power plants is nothing to sneeze at, both in terms of time and cost. That's also ignor…

The reality is that unless and until the PR hit from failures like this impact their stock price or their bottom line, companies won't care to fix the processes that created them.

The ideal system as far as I'm concerned is one that regulates Roblox out of existence for a variety of sins. At this point I'm just waiting for someone to dig up a name associated…
