Yeah, I suspect the closer you are to the optimal voice/movement the better the effect is.

THey don't need a majority. They'd use it as negotiating leverage, ie, I'll vote this way if you vote that way. What's interesting though is that Germany is an industrial powerhous…

Yeah, peaceful economics far outweigh military. Military cant hire talent because talent can make more money building products for the world. It's a nice trend. Trump's anti-trade …

They're both in the wrong. Epic for screwing it up and rushing rather than investing in security, and Google for trying to score PR points at the expense of their users. Google is …

You mean google? You're right though, Google does a crap job auditing the playstore. It's ludicrous how they'll allow apps get access to everything on the phone without any kind of…

7 days seems awfully short and not in the interest of users.

Yeah, it's definitely possible. It's a biz model in the crypto currency world.

Venture capital wouldn't exist if this weren't the case. Hell, hacker news wouldn't exist if this weren't the case.

He's slowly re-inventing communism. Give him time.

That's capitalism, baby. He who controls the capital reaps the rewards.

Ok, this doesn't make sense. Maybe APPL, but there is no way Google is that dependent on app store fees. "If app store commissions fell to a blended rate of 5 percent to 15 percent…

Isn't it replicated every day in prisons?

I have no problem giving a number, but I know how much I'm worth. I really don't want to get paid more or less.

This is sort of true and sort of not true. It definitely does currently work, but if companies like Google and MSFT decided to, they could make it not work by providing search engi…

At some point, there needs to be a backlash about our right to be shown advertisements. I mean, if it creates a nice discount and shows us relevant services - please DO track me. H…

Yes, though I do wish there was a better way to read HN in a focused manner. Here's a little experiment: Set aside a scheduled chunk of time each day to specifically read HN. You'l…

So 650M is enough for NYU. The top 10 universities have endowment funds > 10B. Shouldnt they all be full rides for everyone as well?

No, College is expensive because it's horribly inefficient. Professors are paid terribly.

I think what you're referring to is pentesting. Agreed, for pentesting I highly doubt the course will be of much benefit. However, for developing compliance and architectural plans…

Downvotes coming from people who lack cognizance. The whole fact that we suffer from tragedy of commons shows a general lack of high level cognizance in humans, no? Sure, we're a l…

And there sometimes we don't want wiggle room, thus the blockchain is good for that.

Not sure guardian understands how training AI works.

At like a 10% profit (in the best case), that's a pretty terrible full time job.

Unreadable, but very very listenable. These books are amazing on audio tape and fantastic to listen to when going on hikes or runs or whatever. I find there is a very pleasant atmo…
