This article states that minimizing grains is ideal but never defends that point. Does anyone have data defending that?

what's your source for the fact that they are not competing on latency?

bruv we've got enough people to work on setting up the lifeboats while bailing out the ship

Now that you bring that up, if we had a 100% accurate poll that would be really good for productivity wouldn't it? Perhaps it wouldn't give voters the same feeling of self-determination but it'd save a lot of resources in fundraising, going out to vote, counting votes

maybe this is just the trend towards greater understanding with increased information transfer speed - the average amount of knowledge one has will increase. The people back in hunter gatherer tribes knew very how to hunt and make weapons very well, i'm sure they would consider someone who knows about darwin's theory of evolution and newton's laws of physics a casual polymath, even though those are considered commonplace mental models today

how do you write a post on this without mentioning the flynn effect

bruv this some gamblers fallacy shyt

50% of those 10% positive cases were atrial fibrillation which is pretty serious (can lead to stroke), and wouldn't be diagnosed at a routine checkup as it requires an ECG

This is ridiculous, if such a device exists and can detect a new condition that 5% of the US population has with a 80% false positive rate, and the condition was as serious as heart disease this would really be a miracle device and people would be grateful that such a thing exists.

I really have distaste for those comments that attempt to mask ideology with a veneer of logic. You attempt to use a limiting case argument that actually proves the original comment's argument and then end with rhetoric about how the healthcare system is being flooded already. That may be true, but that isn't relevant to the utility of the apple watch in this scenario.

It's terrible that the argument here that there are no 10x engineers hinges almost entirely on a single anecdote. Whether or not there exist engineers who are order of magnitudes more valuable is debatable (I lean towards yes) but defending point of view through non-rigorous perceptions is where all sorts of false beliefs originate.

You know, i highly doubt any developer black or not ever looked and said “wow this master branch naming really makes me feel oppressed.” If this is you, please correct me. However, i do know lots of developers have bash scripts, terminal aliases, python workers that use the “master” terminology that will need to be changed. This seems like an absurd and unnecessary change to me, causing more net damage than benefit. Beyond git, i believe master is a power dynamic that exists and is sometimes the best way to model a system - and we should attempt to describe systems clearly unrelated to racism as accurately as possible

???? who corralled those workers? I always see this argument, if Milton has the same ability to bring together talented people as Musk does, his bullshit will be gladly accepted - both have proven the ability to bullshit, but only one has brought together groundbreaking teams thus far

PR nightmare is a bit extreme. A few students emailed the dean is all. I feel as though in these situations, you have a moral obligation not to back down if you did nothing wrong. Otherwise the bounds of what one is allowed to say gradually erodes away. Sort of like the “first they came for...” poem

how are retail options different from softbanks options. if there are 34 b of retail calls purchased that would dwarf softbank if done in the same time period

this feels like someone saying put a bandaid on a gunshot wound

What sort of an economic model makes open source software feasible at large scale?

you're an amazing human being

So if I buy into a 100m dollar powerball, I'm actually getting the net present value of 100m in 40 years? I'm amazed this is standard practice

damn this is true. hella shady marketing

This is an advertisement for the crazy rich asians author

Sometimes, when a cancer gets bad enough, all you can do is enjoy the time you have left

This is the question I want answered. I feel that in the human brain, many words evoke imagery. For instance, when I hear the word bleak, I think of a grey setting

I'm also curious, how does zola compare to jekyll?

Serious business only for serious people

Are you saying we should censor information if it only represents one perspective?

I agree with the sentiment that we shouldn’t propagate disinformation as much as the next guy, but this is a strawman. Nowhere in the book does it say anything about Bill Gates behind covid, or any similarly ludicrous conspiracies. The book mentioned appears to be reasonable and fact based.
