Well I mean someone killed them. So whoever did it is who OP is talking about.

I can't think of another regulated utility that doesn't provide service to (essentially) all humans directly in their homes. Everyone knows what water and electricity are, the vast…

The market will more efficiently settle on a price if market participants can push the price up (buying) and push the price down (shorting).

How is shorting a stock gaming the market? You feel a stock is overvalued and you short it. You feel a stock is undervalued and you buy it. What's the difference?

I know plenty of line level engineers (mostly non-software) who's main interaction with unions is things like waiting for a week to move their desk to the other wall of their cubic…

Even if I do accept your claims that cooling in space is not insurmountable, you still would grant that launching and cooling (and shielding??) a data center in space still cost mo…

I don't really follow the politics and GPU drama in this space, but I'm surprised GPUs owned by SpaceX are going to Claude instead of grok or whatever AI stuff Tesla is trying to d…

Most algorithms doing this charge lower prices to the wealthy since they are more valuable customers. Total spend is higher. And if your $20 tricket breaks you're less likely to bo…

>> Where does "grey" end and "black" begin? >When the color is 100% black. But what does this mean? Only vantablack is black, everything else is grey?

Can you compare daily active users to peak simultaneous users? Seems like apples to oranges. 150 million DAU could easily be the same as 45 million peak online. Also how believable…

What's the public good that justifies the government dictating which networking stack people use?

I think the people complaining about compatibility are more talking about the concepts in IPv4 and IPv6. IPv6 could have been "everything is the same except the IP address is 16 by…

That sounds like just describing the way the current global system works, not entitlement. Transitioning to another system would work (and seems inevitable at some point in the nex…

I'm clued in to that but at this point who cares. All the models are fungible for the coding assistance use case.

I live a thousand miles from another country. No I don't have friends in another country and I don't even know anyone with friends in another country except immigrants or spouses o…

Pretty sure OP means liberal in the sense of "classical liberalism". Ideas like free market, rule of law, private property, etc.

How do you figure that? Capitalism has been chugging along for hundreds of years before artificial satellites existed.

This is a problem, but unrelated to what the parent is saying. If you taxed 100% of the wealth of all US billionaires it looks like it would pay for social security, medicare, and …

Are we still talking about yogurt? I do not find it difficult or have to put in any work to buy low sugar yogurt. I buy large amounts of full fat zero added sugar Greek yogurt and …

I certainly don't think the industry's hiring processes are perfect, but $100k on top of a normal wage for an incompetent worker is a lot of money to throw down the drain and not e…

The original seeds and farm equipment still exist for the most part. Farmers use GMO patented seeds and no-right-to-repair complex farm equipment "systems" because they're more eff…

That happened to me when I was a student. Crammed all night, napped, and slept in. The adrenaline from rushing to class somehow made me both ace the test and be the first to turn i…

23&Me was hardly a big corporation at the time. Or does this saying apply to all companies with a few hundred employees?

> More practical people see it as pretentious bullshit. Or they just like spending time outside messing with plants? You could even call it a type of hacking if what you're trying …

What’s high risk about churning besides the risk of wasting your time? Forgetting to pay a bill with all the accounts you are juggling then wiping out your gains with one late fee?…
