Wouldn't the people around you also benefit from these advances so in theory they wouldn't be dead in this scenario?

I think this is a huge misconception and I don't think it works this way. have you heard people say 50 is the new 40, etc.? The same thing would work at older ages. Sure the last 1…

Yeah makes sense, if you already have metal ships carrying goods there is no need to make additional ships just for protection. I suppose there could be an economic advantage if th…

What if, instead of building a full carrier out of pykrete, you instead build very simple pykrete ships that follow around the outside of a carrier group to add a layer of protecti…

Downtown Costco, is this Vancouver perhaps?

This is amazing. The other day I was looking to play "Don't Look Back" by Terry Cavanagh and the game is broken on his website: https://terrycavanaghgames.com/dontlookback/ But thi…

Wedbush Center in LA is another classic example of this trick. https://www.wedbushcenterla.com/ >

The whole argument comes down to bursty vs. non-bursty workloads. What type of workloads make up the fat part of the distribution? If most use cases are bursty (which I would argue…

The submission page has a text box for submitting the story on a Google form. This seems like a bad experience. Can you also allow for submitting via a link to a Google Doc at leas…

Why would it circumvent DRM? I'm assuming they would use the same DVDs for rental they currently use (similar to physical rental DVDs used by Blockbuster in the past).

Hypothetically Netflix rents you a multidisc DVD player at their HQ and rather than mailing you the DVD they insert it for you and you can stream it back to your device. You pay mo…

I don't have a dog in this fight, however, I am curious. Who exactly are you? Who is this "we" you are referencing? And why does this comment need to be avoided?

Does any of this announcement affect Google Datalab? It feels like they keep Datalab as some second class citizen, that doesn't even get a spot in the menu bar in the cloud console…

Any chance there will be cron jobs for functions? Right now, I'm using AppEngine just to schedule a function to run.

To conclude that: > Google couldn't care less if their customers can figure out how to use their products. That feels like a pretty strong leap to make from your complaint about us…

I just did the free trial and pasted in a current JD I have on some job boards. The user interface is nice and easy to use. I like that I was able to make updates and it would show…

What percent of the population would have to stop eating meat all together in California to reduce consumption by the 20% that the Governor has called for?

Even if it is a global phenomenon, and even if the US is not the worst in terms of meat calories consumer per-capita, that doesn't negate the fact that we could still improve our e…

This link states that beef are normally fed corn: http://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/crops/corn/background.aspx Also, cows can drink up to 30 gallons of water per day: https://beef.unl…

The number 1 way to conserve water is to eat less meat. I don't think that people have learned this yet and most people have not changed their habits to consume less meat. Serious …

Programmers have been automating "programming itself" through the creation of higher level languages (ASM->OOP) and through things like libraries. Programmers are always thinking a…

Ok, so I've been sitting here thinking for awhile now because I have the exact same feelings that you do about the growth hacking buzzword. I went and read your blog post and I hav…
