I think it's not about diversity, but lineage. The phenotype for "fish" is so tight and well defined; a salmon is closer related to a human in the tree of life than to a coelacanth…

Crab mentality, the closer proximity to your profession / place in society the more resentment/envy. This is a win for some of us in tech, it's just not us, so we cannot allow it! …

As a Brit it's really quite amazing how strong the West Country accent has been retained, almost like a comedic caricature. As a segue I'll recommend "Time Team", if you listen to …

Make no mistake, this display was a disgrace, but... after the annexation of Crimea the EU (Germany) moved ahead with Nord Stream 2, we are culpable too, massively. Ironically ther…

I've worked on such a platform: Hyperledger from IBM et al. It was generic enough we could deploy our own "smart contract" / business logic layer via a Lisp dialect built in Go.

That aligns with my point, rather than make it moot.

Because it's a cultural arms race. What kind of nation do you think is capable of manifesting in those local conditions, a progressive social democracy like Sweden?

There's probably high genetic kinship (Britain) for Canada and Australia amongst 'white' people, the US too has a large body of genetic kinship with Britain, it's definitely not yo…

Likely because some core components of health care cannot be comoditised via technology, there's still vast human involvement from diagnosis to surgery, all the way to social suppo…

Since the Tudors, before the US as we know it.

Ireland having tax sovereignty was doing what it felt was best for itself, the low tax ecosystem it has fostered is in its benefit. Much like car and farming tax incentives favour …

Because tax incentives do not exist in the EU, like the German car industry.

I think it's an Americanism to think humans in Africa are a monolith. At least here in the UK the idea of having the most genetic diversity goes hand in hand with correlating with …

Isn't the actual idea that any given individual has more genetic points of difference to any other random individual, even within a racial group, than genetic differences between r…

It's funny in the context of Google's past motto of "don't be evil". I feel the right thing for Google here would have been to decline any deal regarding exclusivity, then Reddit w…

Looks like it should be supported: https://docs.rs/jiff/latest/jiff/struct.Span.html#impl-Add%3...

But it's a one time event. What comes next and what if there are negative externalities? It feels like a land grab, the real failure here is a lack of construction, and that isn't …

Is shared memory access naturally async like IO/io_uring? If not, asking for async is misplaced and any implementation would be synonymous with wrapping sync calls in `async fn` wr…

My preference is common nouns, generally it's the most concise and precise naming, I understand the issue in Go however, so the argument carries weight. What I would say is redunda…

I get it, it feels like a regression to me too, but there is method to the madness, their MTD idea is that you don't just plop numbers into some boxes, that they are a product of a…

My provocative take of your thought experiment is that there might be social strife from the fallout, from the mass bricked devices and effects on communications. This in itself im…

What are you trying to convey, something along the lines that we should be grateful? I suspect unless they destroyed everything the gov would force them open, after all their produ…

They were colonizers and practiced genocide. It's a great source of pride that Jews were banished from the Arab peninsula (or forcefully converted). Other branches of Islamic histo…

I'd honestly class that as reductio ad absurdum, quantum mechanics dictates it is a probability my car might spontaneous become a pink elephant. I'm all for evidence showing the la…

Occupancy rate for commercial property is mostly over 90% in London, and I believe the residential market is even more efficient. How would LTV help if occupancy is so high? Don't …
