Existential threats are a hell of a drug.

Show that it is easily programmable and hackable by end users, like an Arduino.

Want to know a really good way to increase the power of a separatist group? Build internment camps. Congratulations, you played yourself.

Psychopaths just pay better.

Aren't they all?

Some improvements are ensuring that when there are too many interactions, we slow down time, and speed it up when there aren't.

I don't have that impression. I do believe we need a coalition that builds towards the ideals promised. The closest we have is the FANG cohort, but even then in only a few vertical…

Difficult to bring about the singularity without historic levels of technical competency and financial investment. Anything less is simply being contemptuous of the true challenge …

Not the time or place.

Strongly concur. Also make this a yearly habit, so you stay on the ball, know where the market is at, and become comfortable leaving at a moment's notice to avoid this life changin…

This is brilliant. My day just got so much better.

Like I said, you just suck at hiring.

Pretty much. Ever notice that anytime anyone wants to "fix" hiring they end up developing systems that are just cancer. If you can't figure out if you want to hire someone in < 1 h…
