A bloody pentagram is not good art. It’s juvenile, and frankly cringeworthy. The famous “Twinkie” bust [1], maybe. Baby dolls in red paint is just silliness. [1] https://www.sfgate.com/art/article/SFMOMA-to-display

The bullies. From an evolutionary perspective it would ultimately come down to those who get to choose their mate.

I didn’t do a close read. My comment was in response to this: “ research has identified some factors that predispose children to be targeted by bullying behaviours. These studies suggest that public health interventions could aim at prevent

“ studies suggest that public health interventions could aim at preventing children from becoming the target of bullying behaviours from an early age.” Sounds almost like victim blaming. If true, if there’s something about the bullied that

“Favoring component reuse can mean having less code to write and test, which in turn can reduce required time and costs.” Everything is a tradeoff. For voting systems, I’m not sure reducing dev time/costs is the right tradeoff.

Art critics and other “intellectuals” (non artists) are to blame. They spread the false notion that art should be provocative not pretty. So the tasteless imitators who pose as artists have churned out a bunch of cringy beevis and butthead

Better yet, build an operating system and link it to the cloud.

Sorry, wasn’t trying to imply you didn’t and I fully agree. Even managers that know stats can be busy or but into hype about ml or other shiny new things that they don’t have time or resources to deconstruct. This is another big problem wit

This gave me a chuckle. If you read the feature article you understand that this is also because management wants “decision driven data.” They have an idea and use ds to provide charts and tables to support their idea. The harder the idea i

Location matters. In Silicon Valley, many people you meet are not locals, they come and they go. Like the tide. Other places this is different, like small towns where everyone knows everyone else. Some places people are more defensive, less

All of the immediate applications I envision outside of entertainment are nefarious, sinister. I don’t want to share these ideas, but I know if this stuff has occurred to me, it will be implemented eventually.

Americans are mean to each other. We didn’t used to be. Various explanations exist. Isolation like many behaviors can be thought of as a defense mechanism, a reaction. Solutions are obvious. What made us different in the past?

Some people will pay good money to be kicked in the balls. I don’t agree with it, but those who enjoy it will make a strong case that the market be free for that sort of thing. Getting peed on also. There’s a market for everything.

We should ditch anyone that takes contributions. Get a pool of qualified political leaders, draw from this at random. Enforce term limits. This crap has to stop.

PowerPoint is better. Removes a lot of bike shedding over “turn of phrase” and sounding smart, writing good, etc. Also, more multimedia, better aligned with current communications tech, and designed specifically with the intention of presen

In the future we won’t see tanks driving over dissidents. Such barbarities gone, a safer more technocratic dystopia awaits. Smart cities. Chilling.

Gary Gensler. The public won’t hear that name on The View or Trevor Noah. Therefore there was no fraud.

“honestly don’t think I have ever had a $50 plus bottle of wine that I would not have preferred over Barefoot, which has approximately zero taste markers of a wine made to taste good.” I can’t believe that. I’ve never had barefoot and proba

Wine makers can easily pick out flaws of different sorts. Wine tasters and wine makers do not taste wines in the same way based on my experience. Some flaws, like Bret, can improve the score of wines given by tasters for certain styles, but

We agree. “The other guys are hypocrites too” is a truism. Great power competition is real a thing. People tend to be hypocrites, and whatabouttism is commonplace. But we can do better.

I regularly eat meals like a potato. Many people don’t want their food drowned in ketchup. Ketchup is a business plan to market sugar.
