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…
Different generations have different investment preferences, so the best hedges are going to be things Millennials want that Boomers do not typically own.
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?
If you have any more I’d be interested in giving it a shot!
Whoa, that is crazy! TL;DR for folks is that they left a lot of debug information in the build. The C code was compiled with no optimizations (and included debugging symbols), and GOAL uses a string-based table for…
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,…
If your "shields" went down because you had a negative workplace experience, but then you found out that you could double your salary once you started looking, I think it's totally fair to consider both the toxic…
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…
Lightning network theoretically makes micropayments possible, and that should be celebrated for enabling new ways of online monetization that the tech world writ large can explore. Imagine if you could buy access to a…
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…
I think the premise here is that there is some sort of physical limitation that causes cyanobacteria to have a maximum "carrying capacity" of oxygen, and stretching timecycles causes that threshold to be exceeded,…
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…

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…
