This is a lot closer to my thought as well. No one is saying extinction is beneficial. However, in the grand scheme of things, how critical was the unique Catfish that was only found in 1 river in Ohio? How many species have come and gone completely undetected?

Now that a species near the top of the food chain is missing, what species can grow and change to fill the gap? Isn't that evolution, you respond to a change in your environment.

Y Combinator has helped the world realize that inspiration should go the other way--large companies should try to operate more like startups.

What is the survival rate of companies <5years? What is the survival rate of companies >50 years? The author himself points out that as your organization grows, you become more risk-averse. You have more to lose, but that also means you have something.

When John Qian throws 60% of his total assets at a problem, you can get a few intoxicated engineers to work hard at it and have a lot of fun doing it. What if Amazon, or Home Depot, threw 60% of their assets at an entirely new idea every few months? It doesn't make any sense.

Startups fail all the time because they are doing risky things. Successful businesses take less risk and fail less often. You're taking a strategy that has proven to not work and saying it should work.

most datacenter's will recycle their water. Heat it up, send it somewhere else to cool down, send it back to heat up. Specific datacenters were called out on here last week for dumping heat waste water. The efficiency of moving hot water over long distances doesnt make much sense

What physician is saying no to preventative medicine paid for by the consumer? Why do doctors think we are visiting for their benefit? I would be very interested in the arguments against blood labs. For the doctor, they draw blood and review results, which is something they do every day. For the patient, you draw blood and review results and pay for it, which is something normal people are not greatly inconvenienced by. The money may be the thing, but why would your physician know your budget? If you want a zero risk preventative procedure, the doctor should tell you how much it is, not give financial advice.

What argument would a doctor have against order a wider range of tests? The blood is outside of your body, and the physician is not in the lab running the centrifuge or mixing chemical agents to react.

just checked, mine is 5,000

They let them grow up into meat for humans to eat before they kill them

I really believed what this guy was saying until I got here:

said Cinnamon. “Chickens are the most important organism in world,

And I just do not agree with that statement.

the article says it costs more to raise a male chicken to be slaughtered than they can sell the meat for

How are you managing biometric data to comply with BIPA?

Trump got vitamin D infusions in the hospital. It's also something that taking a daily pill for will not have immediate effects. If you take OTC supplements today you won't see your levels increase for days or weeks.

There was a big one in 2018 involving authentication. A handful of datacenters outside of Houston couldn't get enough power and the shutdown procedures prioritized saving data. Some critical Azure system service was only located in that geographic zone and the data recovery priority caused that low level service to fail its migration. It caused a huge authentication failure across all Azure services globally. MS got blasted about it at Ignite pretty soon after.

yup its authentication. So 365 is one of many top level MS services not accepting new sessions.

The NSA's job is to gather information. They have >400mil people to protect, and 6bn people to attack. They are in the business of using exploits, not closing them.
