We have talked about “pull off the bandaid”- to have 200M people get the disease means we’re going to lose somewhere between 1-2M people (just in the US). Doing that quickly means hospitals and morgues overflowing with dead from COVID. We H

That's actually an incredibly short-sighted risk calculation that intentionally weighs some unknowns as higher value than others. For example, I can make the same kind of argument in the opposite direction: if UBI creates a disincentiv

I have no inside information, but the pattern suggests to me a plausible explanation. And I'm typing on my phone, so I might not explain fully. Suppose I were wanting to overinflated the value of my business to show to investors or for

Some of the other stories on the topic seem to indicate the most likely indicator here - calls to 911 are automatically matters involving "law enforcement", and are shared between countries. It's actually something I hadn&#x2

Thanks. I watched my partners struggle with wives and kids. Me, I only had a wife and cats... which made it easier in some ways, and harder in others....

This is one of the funniest things I've read in forever. Some of those lines need posters. "You can’t just place a LISP book on top of an x86 chip and hope that the hardware learns about lambda calculus by osmosis."

IDS was only one example. When technology evolves, we tend to break the things that we used to work around the limitations in the previous technologies. There's a whole suite of technologies in security that rely on the idea that we ca

This made me sigh. Don't get me wrong... As a lifelong time security guy, I'm happy to see more encryption. But implementing more security at one layer adversely impacts security at other layers. (e.g. IDS) We're really bad

I'm not saying that's the only step in design... In my attempt at brevity, I lost the nuance. The point I was trying to make is that if you're taking the view that your users need to have a significantly higher than averag

Great thoughts in this one, but missing what I think is the biggest key to hiring correctly in the startups I've been part of is what Paul DePodesta said in Moneyball - ""What gets me really excited about a guy is when he has
