You have completely missed the point of my comment. What do you think I am trying to communicate to you?

You really need to answer questions directly as asked, and not whatever question it is you think the other person is asking. Doing this only creates confusion. There are many occasions where I see this kind of miscommunication happening b

Are you saying that it's impossible for a company to become a monopoly purely under its own power?

I think you have it completely backwards. A smaller genome makes small tweaks much more likely to produce measurable effects, which means your data quality is much better. A larger genome with more gene interaction is more likely to produce

In my old org the policy was to flag every change, not just new features and behaviors. I'd even argue that refactoring is often a higher risk than adding a new feature path, because the scope of a refactor can touch nearly every user

I never found a great way to incorporate feature flags into my workflow without inducing significant mental churn managing 12-step rollouts over a dozen independent active flags. The changes I tend to make are sweeping, non-trivial refactor

Why are you asking? My hope is that you are asking this genuinely from a place of curiosity to better advance this discussion, as there is apparent confusion from people working from different definitions of the same word.

The term you're looking for is "surplus". The consumer sees a surplus of value because the price they paid is below the maximum they're willing to pay, and the producer sees a surplus because the price they charged was m

If the top 10% of people suddenly had their wealth double overnight, it would have absolutely disastrous effects for the lower 90% of people. Prices for scarce goods (e.g. housing) would increase dramatically. The price increase dampens the

I find it odd that so many comments here are fixating on the "AI can do my job 10x better" throwaway line. I've been grappling with a lack of meaning in my software engineering job for over a decade now, well before the adven

It's worth learning from people even if we deeply disagree with them, but we still have the choice to not offer them our patronage. I see nothing wrong with pointing out how prominent figures choose to exercise their influence. People

Very few people would agree that red hair is "abnormal". Why do you think that people in general are more likely to describe homosexuality as "abnormal" when the prevalence of homosexuality is roughly on par with that of

Abnormal isn't a good word to use here since it connotates an undesirable condition, implying a need for correction. Atypical, non-standard, or unconventional are more neutral in tone, so given your desire for a non-subjective word I&#

I've done the math on this many times, and it still puzzles me how anybody would choose to buy a house in the Bay Area today versus renting an equivalent one. When mortgages are over 2x rent, the calculation skews tremendously in favor

I honestly don't see what the issue is. "Pressuring" in this case just means "asking". Nobody was punished for not fulfilling these requests. And funding research grants into studying misinformation doesn't rea

There's a difference between a company directly backing a candidate and employees of company backing a candidate. Most of the contributions you're referring to came from employees, which makes sense given that most well-to-do tech

I hate to say it, but that article is inaccurately reported, and I cringe every time I see it linked. It conflates the PAL codes with the presidential launch codes, which are two distinct layers of security. Even if the PAL is hard coded to

Small correction: The PAL doesn't handle presidential authentication. It's an extra layer of security to prevent a third party from detonating a warhead should they come into physical possession of one, and is (presumably) a stati

Well over ten million votes are still yet to be counted on the West Coast. Is there a reason why you haven't considered this? If you add uncounted votes then the total count is only 5 million less than 2020. Such swings have certainly

There are many studies which show that surgical masks are quite good at stopping a majority of expelled particles, even those well within the aerosolized size regime: Surgical masks reduce outward aerosol-sized particles by at least 74%: h

Your assessment is a non-sequitur to the article. Surgeons wear masks to protect the patient, because masks are very effective at trapping both droplets and aerosols that are emitted from the wearer. They are not designed to protect the use
