It's cute, but in quite a few industries, a lot of these are driven by outside e.g regulatory forces that have proven to be necessary ("written in blood" etc), so the better question to ask is how many of these process encumb

It's probably coming from frustration with non-contributive commentary, of which the topmost comment unquestionably qualifies. It's in poor form to do citizen-policing pretty much anywhere let alone an internet forum, but I won&

If memory over the last two decades serves, this is a relatively recent degradation. Microsoft's security reputation prior to the recent (5ish years?) failures was largely built up on top of the work stemming from the Trustworthy Compu

I was hopeful YC coming to DC would've meant YC would've been tapping into DC's startup scene. Wishful thinking. Linked is the more common reason (lobbying), but I'm looking forward to more institutions recognizing the t

Wouldn't surprise me if schools go the route of forcing a cloud toolset (e.g Office 365 or Google Workspace) and measuring proof of work - in a very literal sense, not a cryptographic sense. Ripe for being gamed but is probably the onl

Teachers should be compensated as much as doctors and held to the same academic rigor, but then we'd run up against the rude reality that those of us who are well off tend to hate the idea of paying for such a feature e.g through tax

Depends on the work. The suggested solution may very well fall on its face with any media & entertainment work, which incidentally is one of the industries with the heaviest Mac usage.

Honestly, if there ever exists a web-focused LLM that's hyper-competent in media literacy, I'd be happy to delegate to it the job of teaching my kids. We don't expect the most of our teachers, nor do we effectively compensate

You certainly would, because not every case of obesity results from the same mechanisms. But just as with all the other what-about comments, this comment misses the point: this class of drug is wildly successful, and it's the most spec

Funding tends to be a constraint with larger studies, and it's best to keep studies focused anyway — less confounding variables. Here, I'll pontificate a bit. For instance, study 1 finds that Ozempic is associated with a reduced r
