Like high frequency trading players front-running trades, faking liquidity, manipulating prices, and changing infrastructure to benefit them to really screw people that want to buy…

It's only marketing. There is no integrated assistant. It's a plain old button that can be used to activate one of these useless voice assistants on your phone because some people …

They already expensed $3 B last quarter.

It's really about planning. Modern Swiss towns mostly consist of high density buildings with parking underground and most of the areas around the buildings are for walking & biking…

Teach them QWERTY. I use Programmer's Dvorak and I love it. But I also have a very specialized setup and everything optimized for myself. Your kids will have to work with different…

You mean like the Dark Ages?

Incinerating toilets also work with propane, which makes more sense for vans etc. I didn't check this specific one but they all work similar no matter what creates the heat.

You could try something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rdkGUFzvfc . It burns your waste and you'll have to empty the ash tray every 2+ weeks. It's more expensive initi…

Did you check inside your company. E.g. Google gives a lot of freedom to people with 10+ years with them and I know at least one other company in the same area, which did it with e…

What happens when the battery is dead on this device? Why can't they make a simple USB C stick and focus an security instead of adding new potential entry points?

The problem with that is that it depends on what you measure (same with GDP if e.g. education is free). E.g. Germany and Switzerland have different branches in education that are w…

It's an advantage to have wealthy and/or educated parents no matter what kind of system you have. But in Germany your chances are much better than in the US. No one in my family we…

Memory usage is still terrible with Java but at least there are plans to address part of it with value types etc. But for a web service performance is pretty good (just look at tec…

At least EU citizens should have no problem to immigrate at the moment.

Can't tell much about contractors but e.g. Google pays you 10-15% more in Zurich than in Mountain View and you pay much less taxes (and you don't have capital gains here). It's mor…

No capital gains is what does it for you because it means the money you earn in your sleep is tax free (at least if you are not a US citizen). There is no need to use the banks or …

A better example would be you own 75%+ of the cinemas but revenue wise you only control 50% of it. And in that case I think it's fair to do it. If they would force Apple out that w…

I agree that assumption is the wrong word. But do you have examples of monopolies that didn't take the profits and control the pricing of the markets they control?

The problem with this definition is that it also assumes that if you have 75%+ market share you're likely having a similar share of the profits which is not the case here. If you t…

The Waldo zk proof isn't a good example. You can easily fake knowing where Waldo is by gluing a Waldo to the board you use to hide the book. That way you can even proof you know a …

One important part you need to add: The equity vests over time. So if one of the co-founders leave they just walk away with the part they earned over time and not the same share as…

Try sending money around the world and you will get to know how much manual work and paperwork is involved. Banks don't live in this century yet and if multiple countries are invol…

Sadly I think this is the new way of doing things. It gets more and more acceptable to crucify people using social media. But at the same time I don't agree with your conclusion th…

That's great. Thanks.

Do you have any plans to add memory usage to the benchmarks? It adds an extra dimension and sometimes even shows if there's a problem with a specific implementation (e.g. in the be…
