I'd say destroy your $8b and take it out of the money supply, making everyone else's money slightly more valuable. No overhead. Except it wouldn't evenly distribute the value and most of it would go to rich people.

Serious question. Which parts of it aren't true for you? Have you found that making extra effort to be interested in the other person's ideas / topics / interests, listening carefully, etc. isn't well received? Or i

The secret to being a good conversationalist is to have the other person do most of the talking, and everyone's favorite thing to talk about is themselves. Being, and therefore appearing, genuinely interested in what the other person i

Definitely! I have a beard. A surgical mask fits only lightly over it, floating a half inch away from my face. That's better than nothing I suppose, but it really is only filtering big droplets. All the air is going in and out that

Your description reminds me of billiards. You have to think several turns ahead, in a chess sort of way. But your "best" move may be a low probability move, so you have to weigh that. Same for thinking about what your opponent ma

The audacity of the plan itself. The dark patterns. The doubling-down-admit-no-wrong-non-apology defense of it all by the person in charge. It all feels like quite the specimen - something that should be preserved for study by future gene

I tried this the other day and ran into the same issue. Couldn't figure out a way to set it to covid.

Thank you. You're correct, I've wondered why this isn't mentioned more often, and maybe that's why. However even after realizing that, I personally still consider a design patent about rounded corners to be on the same

If it were any other company I'd get depressed and say it's another victim of the tragedy of software patents. But Apple deserves every post-Creative Labs patent victory ruled against them. For anyone that doesn't know, in 2

Definitely agree. Just like how a lion or a chimpanzee wouldn't make a convincing zoo for another lion or chimp, a human could figure out they're in a zoo made by another human. But when you make a zoo for an animal that isn'

I'm not sure where the corresponding boundary would be exactly, since we do seem to be on the verge of exploring other planets, but you could say that we also understand where it is we're allowed to roam - the surface of Earth. An

Does a lion born in a zoo understand it's being held captive by (in comparison) super intelligent humans? When it's tranquilized, does it know this isn't a normal thing for a lion? When the caretaker throws food out or pets

Between the Nest cam recording light becoming "always on" and this, it's like they've been brainstorming ways to be "pro-privacy" with the caveat that it can't affect the data they collect. We'll prob

I don't know if the strength of an LED is enough to move the craft significantly, but if it is you'd need to point it at anything _but_ the ship itself, otherwise the two forces would cancel out. Just shine it in the opposite dir

Sure it'll be nice to make easy money off the interest on deposits. And it'll be nice to make money on the analytics that can be run on all the worlds' transactions. Great. But the biggest pay off is that once consumers buy

Thanks, that's a perspective I never got. Shows how lucky I've been at the places I've worked. (Or perhaps, how underpaid I was at the time!) I should also mention that before these conversations, I had also been interviewin

What if you went to your manager, or whoever you feel is the right person, asked if you could speak one on one, and said... "I really love working at this company. The work is interesting, I love the people, the culture, <one more

If you want to learn as fast as possible, I think it does. For me, my computer science program in college was finally a place to get answers and move on when I did encounter that one stumbling block. Even if I could learn 99% of whatever ma

Django's ORM doesn't select *, but it will select every column unless you tell it otherwise.

It also means that as your data grows or shrinks, the optimizer will notice and change the plan accordingly if it makes sense. That means that 18 months after you implemented a feature you've long since forgotten about, you don't

I'm curious, how does Vitess compare to Citus? On the surface, they sound similar except that MySQL instances back Vitess and PostgreSQL instances back Citus. Though I could very well be missing some fundamental differences.

This is cool. Another alternative would be to use postgres savepoints, which are like transactions inside transactions, as a wrapper around each migration. You can do the same thing - set lock_timeout and catch errors when those values are

There's no 'CASE INSENSITIVE' option for unique indexes, but you can unique on lower(my_column) to achieve the safe effect.

Or what if you scrunched the audio down to a bandwidth beyond what was still intelligible, but still captured some semblance of the speaker's voice. Use the original audio to compute subtitles and store them alongside the audio. That
