Wouldn't the dethroner of Google be some new technology which is not a search engine like Google but better at solving the original task of finding information on how to solve problems? Just like how iPad dethroned Windows PCs for aver

Hi, Interesting idea. Definitely see an overlap with eReader markets and looking at text only contents. How does it work? It ignores pages on which it detects frameworks for ui and ads or any javascript code at all?

It's the problem of diminishing returns. If one is at rock bottom then working hard and being productive can get them to middle class lifestyle. It works. Helped billions of people in the past few decades. But starting from middle clas

That won't stop organizations with lots of money unless the cost for more credits raises exponentially. Everyone will have to stop when millions and billions get into play.

It could be the case that they 'hire' someone internally from role A to the advertised role B. But due to some legal requirements they have to run an Ad so they appear open to all candidates. I had pretty good experience with recr

Ford was paying more money to employees who were more conformist to his standard of ideal living. To the hyper individualistic culture like USA today this can only seem bad but this is Japan with factory towns [1] and generally more collect

Can speak and will speak are two different things. Many people can speak English but would like not to. This is especially the case in groups where foreigners are much less in number than natives. They can all speak English but feel unhappy

It's not that simple because that way you lose too much information. Actually it is more likely the whole system would fail if weights at any layer are reset. There is a way to selectively unlearn something via Memory Aware Synapses (M

Bingo. All of Apple's share price and consequently of Tim Cook's income here comes from people paying money to Apple and boosting the earnings. Don't like Tim Cook earning a lot of money => Don't buy any Apple product

Speaking of Tesla's share price. It has Price/Earnings (PE) ratio of 1095 while a normal ratio is around 5 to 10, perhaps around 20 for tech companies. Apple's PE is 29. Share prices have definitely lost all sense in March 20

Why there should be? We live in a global free trade era. Every entity buys cheapest and sells dearest as they can to the best of the information they have. Labour is just one more thing available for buying. Not saying this is the best poss

That's the biggest problem with the current monopoly capitalism. Centralization of power into single people making decisions with momentous impacts (be they 140+ IQ or total idiots as some other CEOs are). A good economy is made from s

To do anything software dev you need some basic level of smarts. People who have them can also be trained/educated in any other scientific disciplines and create value there. Talent is a zero sum game. If one works on photo apps then t

The main selling point of Uber/Lyft are the network effects (same app working everywhere) and the ability to judge drivers by their rating. Price IMO is not that important because people who are price-conscious drive their own vehicles

I wish people who dislike Uber as a service lived in places with bad cabs and bad public transit. Uber is a blessing for the user in such areas. Pricewise it is sketchy and likely unethical but on the service level it is 10x and well worth

Words change their meaning as languages evolve. Nothing unusual. I can share this experience that in a more professional setting hacky code is bad code. But originally back in the 80s and 90s and even the 2000s a hacker was someone who did

The central idea of the black swan is that impossible events, as in 6+ standard deviations from the mean in a Gaussian setting, are far more probable because the underlying distribution was not Gaussian but one similar to a power law distri
