This guy is accurate to a degree which I didn't think was even possible before seeing it. Here he is guessing locations based on just grass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOCR73U8t6E The scary part of this being…
Norway has a "tender" system (not sure if that is the right word) where the public entity create a list of requirements and firms bid on getting the contract. Doing some research it seems that there were few bidders and…
I actually think it might. My experience is that the people who pay to get their replies to the top do it either because they have something to sell, or because they agree with Elon's politics. So the result is that…
I am a self taught programmer who first learned python and then learned Haskell. A lot of concepts in python were difficult when I was new and the same is true for Haskell. I found the Haskell community to be very…
It often makes me very mad that so much gatekeeping has been sown into programming circles through the invention of pointlessly-obfuscated terminology for everything. Programmers are really arrogant most of the time,…
So you would say the same for programming in general then? Should programmers not use the word "function" because that word is foreign to non-programmers and might push them away?
One adjacent example of this is the case of Sirous Asgari, the Iranian scientist who refused to spy on Iran for America. What happened to him is really a disgrace and something one would think could not happen in…
So you are actually saying that the reason that Taleb has "destroyed his credibility" is that he shared a stage with Craig Wright, it has nothing to do with anything he has said?
And so what? I haven't watched his talk, but by the summary of it it seems like his talk was consistent with his previous statements. Did Snowden destroy his credibility when he "shared the stage" with the scammer in…
As someone using Evernote for ~10 years, it has been terrible for me recently too. I have been getting a "Sorry, we’re having some trouble loading Evernote Web." error about 80% of the time I open their web app for the…
I dont use TikTok, but its pretty clear to me there are some unique creations coming from it. Its absolutely not only about "lip syncing over existing songs". Here are some great examples of the remix phenomena:…
Please explain how the wikipedia page says the opposite of what I wrote. Here I will spell it out verbatim from the article: - By 1916, the Ford Motor Company had accumulated a capital surplus of $60 million. The price…
Because people equate capitalism with America, and "fuck everyone, get money" is literally required by law there. In 1919 Henry Ford was sued by minority share holders because he wanted to increase wages. "The Michigan…
Sure, almost any system can be exploited so at some point we just have to compare the advantages with the disadvantages. I am not aware of any abuse of this system. Everyone knows that their tax and income is pretty…
Everyone have pretty much unlimited access in practice so I dont see that the press have any special advantage. The press have guidelines that they should only publish the tax of public figures and I have not seen them…
Arbitrary businesses cannot access it no. However the press can gain special access for a small fee. This means that when the lists are published there are always a lot of news articles about how much various public…
Everyone have access but you have to log in with your ID and the ones you check can see that you checked them. You can check 500 people each month. Your scenario seems pretty far fetched to me since this information…
And this is why as a European I think that we should take a long and hard look at our dependency of US technology. Its becoming more and more clear that US is not a stable actor. I think it would be prudent for us to…
