This gets at one of the core beliefs lots of people seem to have about socialism: that human nature means it will be implemented poorly. It's pretty hard to test that out, though, when one side of the political spectrum is so convinced

That's clearly not the kind of research that's going to be done. Funding of gun studies means we can make arguments backed up by data instead of partisan bickering. Calls to arm teachers in classrooms or mandate trigger locks on g

These rules were created specifically because so many people were profiting off the ad revenue of music in videos. There's not a simple way to determine if the audio just happens to be in the background or if the content producer is be

It tells me that you didn't bother paying attention to the spellcheck in your writing tool, probably didn't take the time to carefully re-read a document for errors, and likely had no one else look at your resume for feedback. Non

It is kind of hilarious how often rent-seeking behavior is called out as evil when it comes to software companies, but actual rent-seeking with real estate is seen as virtuous investment.

It's a lot longer from zero (or negative, in you have student loans) to a quarter million if you're working outside the SV/software engineer salary bubble.

This is the downside of having an AG who has been indicted on criminal charges for thee last 6 years. How much can you trust the guy?

Is it productivity, or is the work to mine new "knowledge coins" just harder now that we've done some of the easier work?

I thought it was a pretty compelling idea when I first saw it in the original Jurassic Park movie, even if that was a metaphor for "hacking."

Uh, it's pretty clear there's a board level leaker here. This kind of leak is how the board forces action onto the CEO.

Maybe bylines will become important again. Also, wasn't this a plot point in Neil Stephenson's "Anathem"?

What exactly is sane about figuring out how to make 200,000 contractors full-time employees inside of a week? I don't think there's a company in the world that could pull that off. If a company says, "hey, we're a market

Ridesharing is profitable today. The reason these companies lose money is because of investments in other areas. Whether that's wise or not is up for debate, but both Lyft and Uber are public companies. Neither is seeking VC money at t
