inflation is low because people are buying less; remember that inflation is calculated based on actual expenses (a "basket of goods" but that basket is adjusted based on how much p…

that assumes that external suppliers were not already at their cheapest price point and that they were not competing with each other already it also assumes that there are no other…

Recursive parsing of CFGs is only better when they're LL grammars, but LR grammars (which are the most common grammar used in programming languages) are definitely better with an e…

That’s only used for .NET and other ms technologies. There is a totally different ecosystem surrounding WebAssembly.

You didn’t adjust for risk in your comparison. The s&p 500 has many companies in it that are far riskier than a grocery store chain. Now I can’t say for sure what the aggregate ris…

I don't know about the mind uploading... but the fact that device is applying electric shocks to a person's body and physically destroying them is a massive problem. Any respectabl…

That is horrifying that your medical issues could be used against you in insurance, mortgages, and licensing... I'd suggest just leaving the country at this rate or getting the dia…

That's not that big a deal since the UK is essentially cut off from foreign countries by water (except for northern Ireland, but there's already a ton of exceptions around that...)…

This is certainly true in some jurisdictions (including Canada where my home country bias lies), but I don't think it's generally true everywhere in the US.

Also, a lot of people may not just need a CPAP machine but a more advanced bipap machine that also pulls instead of just pushes.

This is a great idea. Have you considered moving into the closely related field of localization? If your managing copy all the time then you also have to manage it in different lan…

Keycloak isn’t really for authorization. It’s an openid connect provider so it really does authentication (identifying who the user is). Maybe they’ve been adding features to make …

Latency has always been part of the CAP theorem. There is a strictly stronger generalization of it that says in a consistent system the latency of a transaction is bounded by the l…
