upvotes & downvotes are just the most obvious solution to the noise problem that plagues the internet. Nothing at cost is a blessing and a curse at the same time. We won't solve the internet until we figure out how to solve these f

It's not the same thing to develop and keep an exploit for yourself, as it is to require the public companies in your country to report the important bugs they find while effectively also under a temporary gag order. They are super

You're not wrong, but neither is the person you're responding to. You responded with logic for why the vaccine was a good idea, while they only talked about what was typical in the past. Past American medical philosophy has mostl

Safety glassed would have been a good idea, any rubber can suddenly fail. But he is absolutely right that "creaking noises" are common in wood far far far below their breaking point. I suspect he calculated the strength of all th

Which means a giant physical structure to support that giant lever arm. When you scale up to things that can knock down castle walls I suspect the difference is incredible.

Is the abuse typically just people re-signing up continually every two weeks? Or are there other super common abuses? This isn't my field and I have always detested the commonly required CC inputs for free trials, so interested to kno

How sure are you their assets are really worth 2T? Isn't that a lot of the question here?

I think it's also important to keep in mind that at minimum it would take a generation to truly solve in a root-cause way (one that won't just come back the minute you focus on something else). Many of these biases get built durin

His point is that being fat and being unvaccinated both increase the risk society bears that you will a) give someone else covid and/or b) use hospital resources.

I look at New Zealand and see close to the opposite. A near-complete failure. They've isolated themselves from the world for nearly 2 years, and have approximately zero things to show for it. They're not significantly vaccinated

Also, Ethereum Classic has been 51% attacked and then reversed transactions a few times. So not sure if author is recommending ppl avoid altcoins entirely?

What a generous universe to give us a second gentle reminder in such short time that end-to-end software testing is important.

But most things of this type specifically arent settled, they're settled in cash and rolled over, again and again and again, forever. Look at the volumes traded for these derivatives, numbers are insanely high. People don't mos

I don't think this is a good argument at all. They'd have to be "technical" enough to write down 13 words when instructed, and they'd have to be "smart" enough to happen to be early. So basically no techni
