Correct me if I'm wrong (please), but don't we still lack any kind of fundamental definition of what dark energy/matter is other than..."the cause of the difference between what is…

I feel the same way about the red 'N', and that association on a large scale is very bad for business. Once your logo becomes a marker for something to avoid, your brand is toast. …

It's interesting how legacy companies are not making exciting consumer/commercial products anymore, but infrastructure and technical projects are booming. Google TensorFlow and Dee…

Just because the Great Pyramids were built with slavery doesn't mean that slavery is okay, or that there is not a better way to build a pyramid.

Exactly, which is why I am advocating precisely for giving people what they need . Some people need pressure to perform optimally, others don't. Some people need to put in 80 hours…

Indeed. For example, Musk fancies himself a champion of "hard work" but what he fails to realize is that humans have not actually merged with robots yet, and we still have human ne…

Here: https://truthout.org/articles/the-indisputable-role-of-credi... If you think this is not really happening, you are naive at best, complicit at worst.

I honestly cannot tell if you are joking/trolling or are just completely ignorant to the reality of what happened.

It's the exact opposite, bud. You very strongly compared my theories with QAnon , which is actual Alice-in-Wonderland level crazy. To compare financial crime theories that (given t…

Lol, right, because things like this have never happened before. In particular, the years 1998 - 2008 were devoid of financial crime, and are a decade of restrained, ethical capita…

I really hate to do this because it sounds lazy, but I strongly encourage you to watch The Problem with Jon Stewart's episode on this. He explains it very well, and it's a lot of i…

Wouldn't it be wild if a market maker also controlled a hedge fund, and also had members installed on regulating bodies, but then like, PINKY PROMISED they wouldn't abuse their pos…

Back office systems are exactly where Citadel, the market maker , could put a tiny little window to peep at data they shouldn't, so they can frontrun every trade retail investors m…

Spoiler alert: they had help. Robinhood is a wolf in sheep's clothing - they are controlled by, and beholden to, criminal enterprises such as Citadel. This "in-house" trade clearin…

Let's just embrace the chaos and develop a new flavor for every browser until there are precisely 31 different flavors of Markdown. We cap it there, Baskin Robbins style, and then …

If I may suggest something unorthodox - have you tried psychedelic therapy? And I don't mean just taking a psychedelic, I mean working with a therapist to go on an intentional heal…

Oh my...what an awful way to get back from vacation! It's such a shame when egos get involved like that. I deeply appreciate that level of wordplay though! Glad it worked out for y…

The Fediverse sounds like the Federal government's even more dystopian version of the Metaverse. (I read the article, so I know it's not actually that, and in fact is kinda neat)

Exactly! It makes no difference to the compiler what you call a variable, but it makes a difference to the human. Whenever I do a pandas dataframe melt, I name the variable "melted…

And here's a link to Story of Mel, for anyone who doesn't know who "Mel" is :) https://www.cs.utah.edu/~elb/folklore/mel.html

This sounds perfect for me, because I don't actually know git, and just use some stupid gui. And even that's a step up from my old VCS called "clone a folder and slap a date on it.…

I am having a bad night with drinking, and needed to read this. Commenting live, next to a toilet bowl!! Thank you, stranger, and I wish you well on your journey.

+1 for this. Would love to compare all the algos on the same maze, so you can visualize the differences in their pathfinding approach.

This! I am coding something right now that Mathematica would honestly make 100x easier, but I refuse to use it because I want my software to be FOSS, and not depend on a proprietar…
