It isn't clear to me that regulations could or would cause that. Or that not being regulated would prevent it. FDIC / SIPC type protections would be beneficial to consumers in case…

I don't claim to understand corporate structures or the best way to organize a large group of employees but metas problems seem to stem more from betting on the wrong thing which s…

It really feels like he used to have advisors who would push back on his more outlandish ideas and that provided a good hype / pr vehicle for Tesla and SpaceX. That seems gone now.…

Wasn't FTX considered a reputable custodian before it imploded? That's been my understanding but I didn't pay much attention before it went belly up.

Why would this ever be a smart move? Afaik he couldnt realistically dodge more taxes than he lit on fire at Twitter.

I think it's a pretty good explanation of why he didn't gain more traction than he had -- he's always been a zealot with a proclivity of misguided rants that he proclaims loud and …

I write mainly in c and like most aspects of it but its the absolute minimum standard for built in library support. The fact that simple reusable utility functions were/are complic…

If you are inclined to think the CCP knows / is covering up a lab leak; you are also inclined to think that they'd release fake disclosure data to cover it up.

Or you are good enough you don't have to try flagging every game for a chance to win!

It doesn't crash; it's sluggish. It's hard to quantify but it's like there is a quasi animation effect that you can't turn off. In something like 3|2 it's not terrible but in 1 min…

The lichess app is all around better. Bullet is unplayable on chess.com's app.

I've been considering writing up something for extended kalman filters like this. Kalman filters are great but in my experience extremely limited without the non-linear extensions …

This technique only works if the object inside the area is moving, and if you can shine a laser into the space in question.

> At this point, this is not a complete black box, “novel virus.” Not sure why you insist on being pedantic on word choice here. It obviously isn't a novel virus at this point; but…

The article addresses this very point. I have 0 trust in the CCP to do or say anything not in it's own interest, but on the whole the "They found a novel virus in the wild, sampled…

This kind of thing would have been found by address sanitizer immediately though no? rr seems useful in it's own right but not for this kind of issue.

Does twitter get away with hosting way worse content? Parler explicitly does not moderate calls both subtle and overt to violence -- much less just blatant propaganda. Pretty sure …

Is this not the guy who went to the presidential debate as a guest of Trump's?

Governments would absolutely try to ban locks if they were as effective as encryption at keeping anything secure.

The anti-masker crowd is annoying but not the majority. You aren't going to ever fix stupid. The failures of the various governments to respond promptly is more alarming. Guidance …

> But if there was a button that said "save the planet but destroy a few ( Of course, you are assuming the button actually does what it says. Maybe it just kills 50 people and save…

What University has 100 to 1? That's way, way more unbalanced than the typical cs program.

I'm really confused. I've only run into maybe one person working as a developer that didn't touch type. Is this really not nearly universal? My version of this would be learn not t…

It's embarrassing that the flow of the conversation went from "The power disparity between low and high skill labor is causing terrible working conditions" to "But the employers ha…
