Notable issues: 1. Trend line doesn't fit very well (fails the eyeball test) 2. We don't see how many complaints occurred in pre-pandemic years, so it's hard to know the baseline comparison. 3. We don't know how the tota

Does anyone have any good data sources that identify the problems everyone is complaining about? Every source I browse finds that crime is at an all time low . I keep hearing anecdotes about robberies and break -ins, but nobody every has

How much of this is just sour grapes? These sorts of posts are much more convincing when the OP has an admissions letter in hand.

How stressful is this for the family unit as a whole? I would imagine that traveling with a child is not easy, and as they enter school, there's much more pressure to just settle down in one place.

Human trafficking is rife on Facebook. It doesn't take very long to find some really disgusting stuff. There are some NGOs like IJM who have teams of analysts that scout for trafficking victims on Facebook all day. It's largely a

Thank you for this. I've noticed that Buzzfeed News almost always intentionally buries these crucial details to create sensationalist pieces. If the domain were banned from HN, I wouldn't be upset.

I actually worked on a startup to help with this. (We never got off the ground, unfortunately). There are 2 main factors to focus on: Pronunciation, and tone. Pronunciation is fairly straightforward; you can look up or listen to how words a

I wholeheartedly recommend reading the primary text by Kuhn because it's both well-written as well as historically interesting. But for those with a short time budget, this short playlist[0] covers his ideas in a very clear and concise

This reminds me of high-level equilibrium traps[0], a concept used to explain China's historical economic stagnation. Without market inefficiencies, there are no incentives to invest in improvements. In other words, when things are goo

While I'm a big fan of this NLP analysis, it's disingenuous to state ML can "prove" something. Journalistic bias is fundamentally a subjective judgement; 90% accurate ML models don't make the claim true. That said,

I never said this is a free speech issue; Twitch is a private platform so they can do whatever they please. My concern is that the quality of the platform is going downhill because Twitch's response to everything is the ban button. For

It's strange to see a company that once prided itself on active engagement with its users to find product-market fit antagonize its content creators so much. And as a user, it gives me the perception that the platform is just plainly u

In my experience, hackathons don't scale. The value is lost when the resources are spread too thinly across hundreds or thousands of attendees. Mentors can't teach, and hackers can't get feedback. It becomes impossible for me

This strikes me as an abuse of statistics. The author seriously lacks data (only 36 data points!) and seems perfectly content with sneaking in causal claims when the regressions plainly don't support them. Most of these correlations se

When we ask ourselves why healthcare is so expensive in the US, we never seem to point out that it's the health care that's so expensive. As many others have already said, the AMA puts an artificial cap on the number of medical

There's an interesting tradeoff here, to say the least. Writers want readers. So to some, it's worth sacrificing universal accessibility to gain all of the advantages Medium has to offer. There just aren't many reasonable, fr

I've tried so many of these diagramming tools (mermaid, draw.io, figma, lucid chart). But none of them seem to ever match the effectiveness and simplicity of PowerPoint. Why reinvent the wheel so many times?

What is "slam" even supposed to mean? Sounds like a handful of employees just left some disapproving remarks on a company live stream, but that's it. There's only two quotes in the entire article.

It totally depends on your use case. Indeed, the best perk, as you've pointed out, is the ability to reduce the quantity of data that runs over the wire. If well-configured, then GQL certainly makes network usage heavy mobile apps much
