Right? As I was reading GP, all I could think is that there are a million other instances of an issue having two interested but opposed parties, one being larger than the other, an…

It’s unfortunate that it’s third party, but conda has the unquestionable advantage of being the only Python-centric packaging system that has a reasonable shared binary library sto…

I guess you'd have to see historical margins to make any sort of reasonable projections, but I think GP is saying that they've so increased their unit margin on the ride-hailing to…

I live in lower Manhattan, and there have been many shootings within a mile of me in the past year, even a few within two blocks of me, but because the per-capita numbers are so lo…

I’m not aware of any evidence that that’s actually the motivation behind preventing deflation. Just about every economist will tell you that deflation is undesirable because it inc…

Why was upkeep that expensive? Would you be maintaining the entire estate as a perfectly manicured garden?

If anything, the "best and brightest" folks in Hertz management who drafted the policies that both the phone assistant and the person behind the counter had to try to navigate (and…

In what sense was Martin "doing the right thing" by hoarding documents seemingly for its own sake/to satisfy some tick? I don't think it's fair to the others you listed to lump Mar…

What would the power law effect look like here? 0.1% of branded retweets being worth $20,000?

Can you expand on point 4? Conda-forge releases perfectly fine tensorflow-gpu builds, with the caveat that they don’t ship stubs or the actual NVIDIA driver with them so it’s not t…

It shouldn't bother you if you have a long investment horizon, like the average retail trader.

If you're a market maker or broker, it is illegal for you or any part of your firm that you have informed to front run client orders, plain and simple.

Well, the Javits Center is still standing

Thorsten Ball very recently gave an interview on Software Engineering Radio [1] where he discusses the books and the language and his thinking on each. [1] https://www.se-radio.net…

It'd be amazing if there were an open smart device protocol (maybe there is one?) that was widely implemented. There's no reason turning on the lights in your room or changing what…

Yes, but you’re still free to turn around and sell Linux as part of a SaaS offering as Amazon does. It saves you from someone surreptitiously forking your project and selling the f…

Sure, but in this case e.g. GPL vs BSD is only marginally relevant (any modification needs to be GPL in the GPL case) to the particular case of selling OSS software as SaaS since e…

I don't see this. Are you saying the author has a bone to pick with Amazon in particular or that he has a stake in seeing OSS-based cloud services become non-OSS because he has mon…

I don't think it's that hard to understand. To some degree, Amazon's behavior is exploiting an idealism that has given us software such as Linux that we're all benefitting from tod…

I still do that if I come across one when I'm thirsty. This is the first I've heard of their dangers!

You don’t think the Soviet economy would have collapsed much earlier than it did had it taken no signals at all into account? There are signals other than price that give you a sen…

I googled "Firestone Ford" before reading to the end of the sentence and seeing your link, and amazingly, the first result is a woman named "Martha Firestone Ford" [1], whose name …

How is that an effective repercussion without them also telling you that they're giving you a lower rating for that reason? Do they expect you to somehow intuit over time based on …

This feels like a circular argument. Not everyone needs HTTP/2 support (especially for internal services for enterprise applications).
