To the extent that is true, I agree, they should see the positive impact of what they do as well. Your blind faith in the regulatory regime, however, is deeply undeserved. Many app…

I understand some people are checking boxes, with no space to consider their impact. Please generously reinterpret my point to extend to their management stack and the political es…

Regulators are, in general, too sheltered and disconnected from the impact of their actions. Incentives matter. When you get to make decisions that impact others, but not feel any …

Counting lines of code, commits, changesets or any other simple metric will destroy your culture. The team _will_ find out, and then instead of contributing to the success of the b…

He almost surely means Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools by Alfred V. Aho, Monica S. Lam, Ravi Sethi, and Jeffrey D. Ullman [1]... or one of the earlier versions of the …

The OP did precisely this!

Which platforms don't ban consistent winners?

This is merely a series of opinions in academic article form.

I went ahead and flagged this. It is not HN quality. It is not even Globe and Mail quality. The other comments have already expressed why that is the case - but in summary, there i…

I am generally against often-called "excessive regulation," but the regulator -- perhaps FTC -- should aggressively prohibit the misleading marketing message here. The entire probl…

I'm having a hard time speculating about what phones are "encrypted cellphones" by this count. Are they counting iOS devices with a strong passcode or is there some other functiona…

Giving him 1 star is part of the "economy" here, he won't be allowed to drive if people don't like this process.

`whyever` said _end-to-end_ encrypted, presumably meaning "between the intended recipient and I," not "between a middleman and I." Of course, you also need to trust your hardware.

So, where did the $50 million come from? That is a significant amount of money for what has been a handful of people, not taking venture capital, now operating as a nonprofit to "s…

I'm pretty sure CoinMarketCap just updated to include the previous minting issues: http://omnichest.info/lookupadd.aspx?address=3MbYQMMmSkC3AgW... What is interesting, is it appear…

This is what I get out of his writing. He is a great pop-culture writer, expresses some important (and mostly, relatively old, repackaged) ideas about convexity and natural mathema…

The linked paper is empirical counterevidence to that theoretical model though. Admittedly, we can always just say "we're not in the long run," I'm not sure how useful that is. I'm…
