This is great. Really looking forward to learning more about this. I wonder how automated it will be.

It's a real breakdown of empathy. People only see skin color for their interpretation of "like me". There is so much to being a person, but this is the first thing people see, so it becomes insanely overrepresented.

Your example makes no sense. How would blizzard banning a wow account (I don't know the game particularly well, but let's just use this since you brought it up) be solved w/ Blockchain?

In comparing it to the mid 90s web, you miss three things: Everyone I knew was using 90's web. Home pages, websites for companies, movies, etc. It just wasn't really monetized or centralized into the big tech brands you listed. Th

Can you elaborate?

I am very open. Focus on the statement, not the person.

Are they? I've had no issues with remittances outside of blockchain. In places where I have heard remittances are difficult, it is usually due to regulation, something this does not solve either.

In his own example, it went from patent to useful in a few months. Blockchain has not gone from idea to useful at all yet.

Hard? Nothing. Useful? Nope.

What a strange response. Did you respond to the wrong comment?

Scam after scam, that's all blockchain is. Just another way to fleece the average consumer. There has not been a single valuable use, a single product, that actually improves anyone's day / process / life / anything

RTAPI is the internal name. Why would it be mentioned here? I left too late. The engineering in that company was abysmal.

I worked at Uber for a few years. This was a terrible layer. Everyone hated it when I was there. People ended up building logic directly into the API gateway because it was so difficult to use. I am so glad to never have to look at RTAPI ag

What in the world are you talking about?

Good. This is wildly overdue. The privatization of public infrastructure (ex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatisation_of_British_Rail ) was a crime of the highest corruption. Edit: Link broke? Edit 2: Thank you @bo

What a load of nonsense. Imagine thinking you are able to predict this kind of bunk. Straight out of a Monty Python skit.

Reddit's image cropping algorithm is hilariously bad. As is their video player, and their ads, and their ranking, and their messaging tools...

I looked up the author, he does not have any more than ~6 months experience at any jobs, none are at serious companies.

The Drake Equation always felt like gibberish to me. How can you have an equation "used to estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy" when we have nothing to test it with?

> Call me cynical, but I suspect the more important reason to keep these images blurred might be to stop the rest of the world from seeing what is going on. No, not cynical. I will call it for what it is - baseless conspiracy.

I do. Right now it feels like a carnival full of carnies.

> Write equations; not code This is a little odd to me - I generally prefer to write my math in code if its going to be executed. I find my preferences to be pen and paper (or whiteboard)> latex, so perhaps I am not the target demogra

I'm talking about type safety. Types matter, a lot, and python is a PITA to use without a system like pyre.

It's a problem the moment it has to interact with the outside world, especially DBs/serialization/... really any kind of I/O.
