Billionaires like Koch and economists fabricated libertarianism to do away with costs and pass on externalities to everyone else. It's a utopian ideology far polar opposite of Communism. What's sad is how many "smart" pe

Hmm. Why then do I see so many item comments blasting the media as "biased a particular way" and dismissing articles outright with derision? I see a lot of knucle-dragger-signal comments brigading like this, and it's disappoi

Suppose some piece of infrastructure along the way lacks a checksum or ECC, and gets hit by a cosmic ray or a hardware defect. You now have +2^17 USD - txamount more or 2^19 - 2^18 USD + txamount less in said account. Throw FDIC insurance o

Hell f'ing no. Traditional and inverse totalitarianism in one go. This would be "amazing" for taxation, mining people's habits, and financial crimes but brutal to individuals who can be located or shut-out of the economy

Not if you genocide it with antibiotics or your parents or environment didn't have it well in the first place. People may want to take a fecal sample before starting antibiotics to "reseed" themselves. Also, it will take time

Face time at the office is essential for career development. Also important for mental health is leaving the cave and a cognitive change of scenery.

Threat fatigue and ADHD probably contribute for me too.

Where I come from is Almaden Valley of San Jose and Palo Alto, so YMMV depending on where you are. Barely-adequate public schooling doesn't work for my family. Many moons ago, the high school I attended was rich af and an overachiever

That's not how the real world works, only an idealized one. And not all public or private schools are the same. In the US, private schools were motivated (but not forced) to adopt better approaches because they were often competing wit

In the US EUAs at the beginning, for me, it was 95% the technology and 5% the manufacturer convinced me mRNA vaccines were superior because of their precisely-targeted nature. It was a gamble between Pfizer and Moderna. Went with Moderna fo

Wow. A prior restraint injunction would be kinda unconstitutional for going against the 1st a. National security is the primary injunctive exception, which can be avoided by handing documents to something like WikiLeaks. I guess JNJ's

Private schools. I went through a Challenger School in the US in the 80's, and that was pretty good. Specifically, they taught traditional phonics when California went to some ridiculous, untested nonsense (i.e., whole word method) bec

It's a values thing, partially. Instead of publish or perish purely on research, publish or perish value to industry, academia, and knowledge. Seems like there needs to be a "LinkedIn" for grad/postgrad that can present

Not all code can be self-documenting, especially optimized algorithms and complex operations. Comments serve to add requisite context and clarification that code alone cannot provide. Simply regurgitating the obvious in comments is a waste.

Also, keyboards need to be split apart and attached to a chair like the DataHand keyboard (without the connecting board) of years ago. Typing on a single thing in front of you is asking for body wear and tear. https://en.wikipedi

Verus vel interdum mendacium. Poor Veritasium. Makes a wild claim that everyone else is wrong but doesn't back it up with experimental evidence. It reminds me of how cocky people, like doctors or conspiracy theorists, are able to seem

Quaternions are "non-intuitive" for people without a math background. If you're a professional software engineer, you should have a CS degree which includes a math background. I found 4x4 matrixes trivial in a computer graphi

First, you have be able to spell "quaternions." :) I think you meant vectors, points, and 3x3 matrixes. 4x4 transformations have the advantages of specifying translations and scaling in 3-space where triples and 3x3 cannot.

The MSM has been parroting "imminent attack" memes such as the recall of regional embassy staff. Trotting out a USS Maine "dem Ruskies gonna make some fake videos" looks like more of the same yellow journalism that loves

Coincidentally, my high school history teacher accurately predicted in 1995 that Russia would eventually annex Crimea. He was a Swedish-American who did his Master's thesis on the 19th c. Crimean War. Putin is a dangerous guy because h
