No, it's average poverty ≝ average(1 / annual income) Inversely proportional to the harmonic mean of average yearly income.

I've had *very* much the opposite experience. Very nearly every AI skeptic take I read has exactly this opinion, if not always so well-articulated (until the last section, which lo…

Huh? On Android at least, re-routing in navigation requires an explicit confirmation from you.

The headline, as always, is disingenuous. They were asked why they couldn't lock third parties out of this level of unprotected system access, and said that the 2009 ruling prevent…

You're maybe not wrong, but I'm pretty sure I was reading this same comment 10 years ago, when we were just calling it deep learning.

There are hundreds of millions or billions of us, though, depending on how broad a brush you use. Any given issue or value is going to have someone , in fact quite a lot of someone…

It's only "hypocrisy" if it's the same people saying it. The media zeitgeist is not a person.

You gotta remember, what's being sold in this kind of pitch is not a business model. They're looking for unicorns. What's being sold is the maximum possible size of the market you …

Maybe, but it's not as though that sentiment comes out of nowhere. If we compare the general consensus on the success of Prohibition vs, say, the campaign against drunk driving in …

The "radiation hardening" aspect is metaphorical, this is referring specifically to removing characters, not bit-flips from gamma rays.

Telescope[1] is pretty central to navigation in Neovim these days. Think Ctrl-P in VSCode, but for any entity in your editor or workspace, not just files. Files in workspace, buffe…

Thank you for phrasing the comment I came here to make better than I could. This article (much like a lot of views expressed on this site) mostly just reads as someone jumping from…

> the situation where those APIs and team boundaries are exclusively (or at least primarily) composed of separate applications communicating over the network

Sure, I guess if you completely redefine the word "microservice" to something completely different from the common understanding, it makes more sense. If someone is writing about "…

Tickets are 10-15 dollars, the assumption here is that bill is mostly food.

I don't think that was the expectation, not sure where you read that into it. The two examples he gave were for the bar in the lobby and a total bill that would be mainly food. Thi…
