The economics solution is to legalize drugs and give addicts an unlimited supply. Addicts do not want money , they are doing this because they have a near-perfectly inelastic demand for drugs. Satisf…

The United States/Canada don't have a "loser pays" rule, so this exposes me to legal fees. Right now, any lawsuit against me can be dismissed on summary judgement because even if …

I've always wanted to expose myself to unlimited legal liability by distributing open source software.

These are called take-home interviews. They exist and applicants HATE THEM for being too long/"free work".

It is. That's why SELinux and AppArmor were invented. Instead of having "root" and "user", both of these provide sets of permissions that can be granted to apps. In this case,…

Every time I try to install Docker there's a warning that being in the "docker" group is equivalent to having root access. You should probably know about this workaround by now.

Many open-source models prioritize alignment less than American frontier ones and respond to those instructions. Why haven't they adopted GRAM?

I attended a specialized math and science program (MaCS) in the TDSB. It was gutted by removing selective admissions in favour of a lottery, precisely because of the report you've cited. The &quo…

I traveled to Austin 3 weeks ago and there were entire highways not on Google Maps. Apparently they were built in just a few months.

The hardest part about Chinese is "weird spelling" because the written language is a separate language than the spoken one. If you're using pinyin it's already easier than English.…

English is one of the most difficult languages to learn, because there's so many irregular sentence/word constructions + irregular pronunciations due to vowel shift + foreign loan words like…

Would be cool if it ran until you had an intransitive preference. A is worse than B, which is worse than C, which is worse than A. I thought the point was to show how ranking industries based on "…

Had OP immediately sold, they would've provided a price signal that layoffs are bad in addition to making money.

> The cost would be insane. Yeah, that's why it'd be a good way for SpaceX to make money.
