I get the point, but I assume the people keeping the museum open at 2 AM for some rich dude are the same people who do exactly that kind of job in normal hours. In other words, the…

A great lesson for system design job interviews - if this is a popular payment system in a country with 1.5 billion people, your theoretical system you're designing for a small com…

>“Anonymization is hard, and you’ve got to have the right technical experts at the table to come up with the solutions,” Adkins told Wired. So Google, with hundreds if not thousand…

Let f(t) be the price of RAM per GB from 1960 to 2026. Let F(t) be the price of RAM per byte in the same period. At every point in time t , f(t ) is the price per 1 GB of RAM which…

Well at least Anduril refers to a sword used by the “good guys” so, industrialization aside, it is a somewhat reasonable name for a US defense company. Palantir really doesn’t make…

Not just that. Inflation and purchasing power are other concepts describing price and the "value" of your money over time.

>Meanwhile the economic model says, it is impossible for the condition of the car to get worse through a mere passage of time Source?

Also, a gravity-like model makes even more sense in ancient times which were really constrained by distances, unlike modern economies for which this is more true for goods than ser…

Maybe it's just me but this post is written in a confusing way. I think the argument here is: - laws are slow - innovation is faster - if you let laws regulate AI you're basically …

Economists can be useful as observers, much like the Universe doesn't need astronomers or the weather doesn't need meteorologists. >The first thing a rational economist would do is…

Yes, markets have existed for a lot of time, well before established economic theory. I don't think this surprise anyone, especially given that Adam Smith, who is known as the fath…

You lose the concept of DNS forwarding. Usually, if your company has example.com, your DNS server is authoritative for example.com, which means it will actually contain (fqdn,ip) e…

If the only person who can get the money is you (or your partner or children or whatever), it’s fine as a form of compensation for potential damages. If anyone, including your surg…

Engineering is not just about the tests. It is also about following standards, making decisions based on data and requirements not just personal preferences or trends, and especial…

It lands on both. "It was just a job" or "I was just following orders" doesn't excuse you from doing unethical stuff.

You can but it’s not part of a plaintext standard. You could certainly build a text editor which can decode a base64 string, but to transform that into a picture you need something…

I think the real limit of plain text is pretty obvious: you cannot embed pictures in it. It’s like SMS vs MMS or modern chat. With pure text, you can at best add a link to a pictur…

How slow is “too slow”? Do you happen to have any benchmark?

Interesting perspective

Compatibility with existing code, middleware and so on.

Wouldn’t you argue that lower instincts are not well managed by modern humanity, which means religion is still necessary? :)

No, quantum physics is not a sham. Lasers are an application of quantum physics, for example. Usage of quantum physics principles in non scientific (thoughts are entangled!) or arb…
