Why don't you subsidize it so it is affordable, but not free? In Canada I pay ~8k per term (and that's higher than most Canadian schools), which I think is pretty reasonable. Plus there are tuition discounts for lower income level

Probably not too much. Mice are cheap and everyone has one, I don't think there is much market for a phone-based one.

Why is it our job to determine how much time they chose to spend working? It seems kind of condescending to say that we shouldn't give them the choice to make a bit more money because we think they should spend more time with their fam

This seems pretty reasonable... It's not like you are giving them your passwords or anything, your just telling them your public online name, which they could probably find by googling you anyways.

What is unhealthy about factory farmed animals? Asside from maybe some growth hormones, they seem pretty much the same as regular animals.

Most of your data (ex. search history) is not reliably stored on your phone, and even if it was it would be much better to train on the server side instead of making your phone do all of the work. Also, they probably train using data from e

I would feel better if I got $600 free a month too... No one disputes that having free money makes people happier, at least in the short term, but the question is what effect it has on the economy.

I'm pretty sure it died because they started adding accounts and identities and stuff, which people didn't want. When it was fully anonymous it was popular, but once they tried to remove the anonymity, it started to die. It got a

Reddit probably has enough analytics to be able to show mathematically that it will be accurate without simulating any requests.

That would allow a basic UI change on Wikipedia to break your code. Sometimes it is necessary, but not usually the best option in my experience, and it's pretty annoying to do.

What are homeowners doing to prevent other people having houses? I don't think that someone buying a house in the Bay Area automatically makes them some sort of evil person forcing others to live in vehicles.

Does this guide have anything about references? Didn't find anything about that, but maybe I missed it, I think its a pretty important topic to cover. Also didn't see anything about the different types of constructors.

JavaScript is basically the only option for front end web dev (unless you do web assembly, but that's pretty new). There are lots of different JavaScript frameworks that you can use, including react, so I think they are referring to th

His wealth doesn't really come at the cost of the wealth of others though - he has probably been a net benefit to society through job creation and investments and things like that. If wealth was a zero-sum game it would be different, b

How would minifying and uglifying help? It's not hard to read minified CSS and uglified JS, and you can still use the minified/uglified versions in a knockoff app just fine.

I would imagine most of the complexity is from handling a massive number of requests from around the world, and needing all of their data to be backed up and secure. They have their critical data backed up to like 10 different servers, when

Their backend consists of hundreds of microservices that are frequently breaking, so it's more complex than just an app and a basic backend on AWS. Also they have been doing a lot of massive refractors in the last couple years, so they
