I'm afraid there are only two options here: - A life-long educational program for the people, starting with study of basic logic, rhetoric, and obscurantism. Consider collaborating with people trying to do the same in e.g. Russia. - Jo

So is this the API for clients or for servers? I would like my web server to be able to slurp up all the images from my customer's Dropbox. Unfortunately, shared folders can't be downloaded if they are larger than 2Gb, which is qu

The article is an advertising piece for Wayfair, and doesn't even try to hide it. The truth is that retailers, especially large retailers have a lot of tools to fight back against e-tailers: - Demanding manufacturers to set and enforce

To this day this piece from 1987 remains one of the most wanted pieces of wisdom: I still remember the jolt I felt in 1958 when I first heard a friend talk about building a program, as opposed to writing one. In a flash he broadened my who

The business of the state is to prevent false advertising, because it deprives the citizens of making informed decisions, and because it awards financial resources to those who are willing to profit by harming others. It happens so that for

Yeah, Apple is like that. They charge you a pretty penny, but then they don't feel the urge to nickel-and-dime you through backdoors like this. The problem with crapware on Wintel is that Microsoft and Intel consumed all the profit fro

If you're keeping your keys in source control, you're only one mistake away from a disaster. It could be your own mistake, a bug in a VS, an error in GitHub, a mistake by a teammate, anything, really. It's similar to driving

Anyone wants to compare this with TypeScript? I'm using Visual Studio for the backend, in case it matters.

Except you don't have property rights over the radio spectrum, unless you licensed it from FCC. It doesn't matter that it's your physical territory - the radio spectrum belong to FCC and them alone. Similarly, you don't

Undivided attention is a skill, and it can be developed. Make it a habit to read literature, something you actually enjoy, for an hour at a time, each day. In six weeks you will have trained yourself to stay focused for extended periods of

You seem to be under the impression that this method abdicates judicial review? That's not the case, the metered punishment is delivered in pieces after the court order. That is rather than send a person to jail upon conviction, a judg

I think your point is too blunt in its cynicism, it's not too useful this way. Evidence is currency, and so are demagoguery, posturing, campaign money, endorsements, promises, actual political platform, public sentiments, etc. Sadly, e

I'm not proposing trying to figure out who is driving and who is riding. Once a person got caught breaking the law, he can't use his phone while moving; passenger or driver is not important at this point. The key is to training ne

How about this: If you're caught cell-driving, you either pay a large fine, say $750, or you submit to a program that bans talking while moving faster than 5mph for the next two months. The cell carrier will monitor the ban and issue c

It's not the novelty of this approach that excites me, it's the evidence of it working so well. We can take this data to a legislature and lobby for new treatment plans. A parent's hunch will not carry the same weight.

There is so much more to this experiment than drunk driving! It shows that modest, swift, carefully metered punishment is a lot more effective than the more traditional slow, but heavy punishment. This is a big deal, because it shows a prom

Paul is drawing his conclusion from seeing through hundreds of startups and still being involved in YC to this day. His opponents draw their conclusion mostly from seeing through zero startups, that is being in the middle of their first. Th

Very astute, especially the library reference idea. In the same vein: - Avoid news brought up by social networks - people like and share what's emotionally engaging, so the story writers have a very strong incentive to embellish. Major

Another problem worth mentioning is that computing e.g. Euclidean distance you end up adding up things of completely different types, and their relative weights are often entirely arbitrary, e.g. adding distance and weight. Imagine three po
