This is how most people work. They value their own lives and their own happiness over that of others. They will gladly buy their luxuries and let dozens of people die as long as they don't have to see them suffer. We…
>What makes you the judge of a "great programmer"? What makes the market the judge? It's picked some really terrible technology. >Sorry, no matter Bill Gates' programming skills, he was a genius at running and growing a…
>That's just how economics works. I find it interesting that people who talk about how things are "simple economics" very rarely understand economics. The economic definition of "efficiency" is not just "everyone doing…
>Being rich had nothing to do with him selling an OS to IBM. Yes, a stolen OS he had no part in developing. I don't doubt that he's a competent programmer (or was at one point). I see no evidence that he's a great one.…
Gridcoin is the biggest I'm aware of. Most people who mine it (that I've spoken to) think of it as a way of subsidizing their hardware and electricity, not as a get-rich-quick scheme. Since it lets you choose what…
Bear in mind that Apple keeps 30% of App Store revenue, which is tens of billions of dollars a year. If they just sold the hardware they wouldn't care at all how much users use it, but if users are on their phones for…
I think it would be harder than that. Bear in mind that this will use images of moving targets from strange angles in poor lighting. Is there any system that works that well, even out of something like Facebook or…
Is there a good test for this I could take (preferably online)? I suspect I have a mild case and would like an objective test.
I have read that the SAT is basically an IQ test in disguise. If that's true, there's no need for it to correspond to real-world skills. That's not what it's meant to test, and the only reason it deals with vocabulary…
I would look at Youtube Feather. It was a stripped-down version of Youtube Google made several years back. Sadly it's discontinued now. I think you've gone too far. Tearing out bloat and psychological manipulation is…
Some of the models even have 8-way SMT!
POWER doesn't have that many more threads. The top-of-the-line is 22-core 88-thread, compared to 32-core 64-thread from AMD and 28-core 56-thread from Intel. I have no idea what having that many threads per core means…
>So I'm much more thrilled about Amazon developing a series based on Banks' "Consider Phlebas"... So they're adapting the worst Culture book. It's probably the easiest to adapt, but it's by far the least interesting.
I am not entirely sure I agree. Maybe it's slightly paranoid, but I find it shocking how much information people share on the Internet. I still abide by the old idea that you never share personal information on the…
I'm not protecting the status quo. I just want breathable air. Cryptocurrencies are an environmental disaster. We should go out of our way to destroy them.
