This is how most people work. They value their own lives and their own happiness over that of others. They will gladly buy their luxuries and let dozens of people die as long as th…

>What makes you the judge of a "great programmer"? What makes the market the judge? It's picked some really terrible technology. >Sorry, no matter Bill Gates' programming skills, h…

>That's just how economics works. I find it interesting that people who talk about how things are "simple economics" very rarely understand economics. The economic definition of "e…

>Being rich had nothing to do with him selling an OS to IBM. Yes, a stolen OS he had no part in developing. I don't doubt that he's a competent programmer (or was at one point). I …

Gridcoin is the biggest I'm aware of. Most people who mine it (that I've spoken to) think of it as a way of subsidizing their hardware and electricity, not as a get-rich-quick sche…

Some of the models even have 8-way SMT!

>So I'm much more thrilled about Amazon developing a series based on Banks' "Consider Phlebas"... So they're adapting the worst Culture book. It's probably the easiest to adapt, bu…

I am not entirely sure I agree. Maybe it's slightly paranoid, but I find it shocking how much information people share on the Internet. I still abide by the old idea that you never…

I'm not protecting the status quo. I just want breathable air. Cryptocurrencies are an environmental disaster. We should go out of our way to destroy them.
