Whether or not authors are credible, instead of the claims, is not a scientific discussion.

Since when is ad hominem a part of evaluating claims?

I did not say I consider private research in some sort of higher level than public research. I only said they have no incentive to do full disclosure right now. Without knowing exa…

Original authors have been working on it for 23 years since they first found the material in 1999. They are part of private institution and have no incentive to rush the disclosure…

Algo trading != HFT. HFT is a type of algorithmic trading strategies, categorized by trading interval. In the same categorization there are mid-freq strategies as well. The term "h…

OK so Tether went from 83bn to 73bn... what's the big deal? It's not like LUNA.

I think Tether can get away with less than 100% collateralization. At the current market cap of 82bn, even if they are only 20% collateralized, it takes 16.4bn one way movement to …

Which part of it is "stupid" ? Please have some respect.

From my experience, this is true, but reward is not why such behavior becomes culture. Culture is ingrained by leaders who act and lead according to value organization adheres to. …

I sense negative images on the term "growth". Yes, "growth" often employs methods that are borderline scam. It's exactly what they are hired to do: enlarge and fix funnel at all st…

A society where quickest decisions are made would be either 1) dictatorship or 2) non-human, i.e. AI based. Would that be a good society to live in, I can't tell for sure. I can sa…

I don't agree with this argument. Open source contribution is a fine art. Half-baked pull request is a nightmare for already-strained code reviewers. It does not help open source c…

It's not politically correct nor polite to say this, but Japan's problem is their education and cultural system ingrains subservience to the point that Japanese people are subservi…

I'm not sure what you mean by "employer can prevent employees from taping them." Do you mean you assume management corner offices are not taped? That's a problem with corporate cul…

Why is video surveillance a problem? It seems to be most efficient at protecting employees from being falsely accused & spares from witch hunting. It also helps prevent crime for s…

Nothing "wrong" with PHP itself, but it's clearly not designed for modern web programming patterns which makes it feel outdated. No separation of model-view-controller, not friendl…

It looks like a typical machine can manufacture a mask 50~100 per minute. For 40 hour work week that is 200k masks per week. So technically we only need 5000 of these machines to p…

This is probably before the virus was better understood. Some argue that the virus can be spread by the host 48 hours before a symptom is developed. Whether true or not, what's so …

It's OK using same mask every day. It still helps the virus stay local. CDC should tell everyone to wear masks right now. If we just tell (or force with fine) everyone to wear a ma…
