Unpopular opinion: there has been a steady decline of standards in the research community in the past decade or two. First reproducibility crisis. Then, some topics becoming politi…

If you know how to get stuff done yourself, start your own company, get stuff done, and enjoy the profits (or losses, depending on how good you are). It's your risk and your reward…

Surviving at BigCo is all about saying one thing, and often doing quite the opposite to advance your career. If you don't like it, working at a BigCo could be quite soul-draining.

This looks like an additional incentive to channel owners to somehow convince their audience against the ad blocker use. Makes sense, better than trying to win an unwinnable arms r…

They probably got what got left of it in a cashless deal. Basically, the shareholders got to exchange X shares in a fatally wounded company into Y shares in a still-alive startup. …

Space exists around things with mass. Also, above-absolute-zero temperatures cause particles to jump around randomly. Now if there is "more space" around particle A, particle B wil…

No point in setting yourself on fire to keep others warm though.

The lie generator can very efficiently pull the relevant parts of the documentation and tutorials, and it's not that hard to programmatically ask it for a quote and compare it agai…

Knowing how big corporations usually work, dropping the FreeDOS option completely due to incompatibility would require approvals from 7 layers of corporate management, while shippi…

>You agree that you will not work around any technical limitations in the software provided to you as part of the Services, or reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the softwa…

Not a crypto optimist at all, just trying to be objective. For both crypto and gold, the price is supported by the amount of people willing to buy it as a store of value (yes, gold…

This is a good point, but there is a counter-argument as well. America is currently divided into the rank-and-file class vs. the stockholder class. The governments' actions so far …

There's a third strategy of "index minus bullshit stocks" where you would include both INTC and AMD stocks for risk hedging, but would leave out things with questionable sustainabi…

It's worth noting that the fixed-price unlimited support only works if you are charging north of $1000 per year. This limits your users to those who actually know what they are doi…

You need to handle your PR better, dude. Whenever you speak out, always get a chance to acknowledge the help/ideas of others, unless they are your competitors. Make sure your work …

They are likely using some fuzzy logic to detect people evading bans by creating multiple accounts. Could be some combination of IP address, OS, browser fingerprinting, etc. This a…

As an engineer running his own business, that had to learn all those skills the hard way, I can tell you - you can't. The job of a startup CEO is a 100% full-time hustling. Use obs…

Easy. Having people change their ways on your demand is called power. And since our brave new economic order eliminated the constructive ways of gaining power, more and more people…

>I argued that we are avoiding dealing with our economic challenges and are focusing on non-economic political problems. Well, yeah, since all major media companies and social netw…

Economy and politics always go together. Optimizing the economy for the retirements funds (creating favorable conditions for existing big companies) has eliminated the paths to pro…

This will probably get downvoted and flagged (who wouldn't like to shoot the messenger) but here's an example [0] of a person posting a long chain of twits that would almost certai…

This can be equally well explained by both software changes and the usual patterns of the public attention. When any kind of high-impact news breaks out, it immediately sparks peak…
