There are dozens of us, dozens!
They absolutely sat on this and waited until a competitor announced something, so they could suck the air out of the room.
I think it's interesting to see an article like this every couple of weeks. The way I view it is that we're watching the five stages of grief (with regard to the "death of the office") play out in real time, at…
This would require spacetime to be quantized (presumably at the Planck length or something smaller) though, yes? I've always thought entanglement makes more intuitive sense on a graph substrate of some kind, where the…
Baby boomer mass retirement. This will increase the selling of shares across the board, since boomers will need to liquidate their assets to finance their living expenses when they are no longer taking salaries.
"Passive investing" is a largely beaten-to-death turn of phrase because you can't truly be a passive investor in anything. Every "passive investing" focused fund has some degree of selection bias, because the index…
So this is probably indicative of a scandal of some sort right?
I like the notion of breaking job satisfaction into "motivators" and "hygiene factors" (Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory [1]). Motivators actively cause job satisfaction. Things like finding personal fulfillment,…
This depends on broader society accepting that COVID is endemic though, and the cessation of all sorts of regulations. I don't doubt it will happen eventually, but I'm not sure if another year is enough time. There has…
Judging by the historic job changing trends in the last few months, I think your suggestion that "through quitting everyone reorganizes themselves" is already happening. The only question that remains to be answered is…
Fees and chargebacks are the ones that usually come to mind. Oftentimes major credit card provider networks set a "minimum" interchange fee to disincentivize small transactions (a chargeback on a ten-cent transaction is…
In my opinion, a lot of these problems are organizational in nature as the tech industry wrestles with how to integrate data science into product development. Too often there are siloed "data science teams" who do the…
Richard Bartle is a luminary in the field of game design. He invented a system for classifying gamers' preferred game actions called the "Bartle taxonomy", which helps game designers understand player motivations…
I think people are so accustomed to having to trust each other that the notion of something being "trustless" is really foreign. If you tried to live a trustless life, you couldn't get surgery, ride on a plane, get food…
The inflation rate is transitory. Price levels won't come back down unless we get transitory deflation of equal (or greater) magnitude.
Precious metals are also risky long-term in that we don't know how "precious" they truly are in a solar system-wide context. We can make well-informed guesses, but until there are boots on the ground of the Moon, Mars,…
I would contest that assertion - some blockchains regularly change their PoW algorithm in an attempt to stay "ASIC-resistant."
Assuming we establish communication relays between the Earth and Moon, Moon dwellers would probably be able to use the internet (albeit probably with a laggy connection by Earth standards). While remote socialization…
Here are a couple good articles explaining it. https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/227720-how-intel-lost-10... https://semiwiki.com/semiconductor-manufacturers/intel/28919... The TL;DR is that Intel has always been a…
I completely agree with your point about the algorithms. Anecdotally, the point at which Facebook became an unbearable mess for me was when they defaulted the newsfeed to "top stories" in lieu of the chronological feed…
Like all things we deal with in our profession, the choice to raise money is a tradeoff to be evaluated, not something inherently good or bad. The cons of raising VC money? You are forced to answer to someone else to…
Sounds like it (I've also heard of zinc being added in with HCQ and the z-pak as part of that treatment protocol, sometimes called the "Raoult protocol" and referred to hereafter as such for brevity). Both the Raoult…
Is there any confirmation that this phone will/won't support 5G? It seems to be omitted in the marketing materials. While multiple years of OS support would be nice in this form factor, not being able to use 5G data…

An important aside here is that the US shale oil revolution now means that the US can produce oil domestically at similarly cheap prices. KSA is actively losing its leverage. MbS might not have those ten more years for…
