I've been posting this explaination for more than 10 years now: http://www.felderbooks.com/papers/bell.html I think I prefer Felder's explaination more than Quanta's. It's omitting some details (eg.

To understand the argument that 'facebook is evil' requires more context than what is explicitly stated in this article. It's more of a followup or continuation of a long running thread. Basically there is a long thread about

It would be nice if we all came to the same conclusions if we just read the same material. But reality doesnt work that way. Assuming we are just dolts who cannot read because we disagree is a bit presumptuous.

I just find it fascinating that a language can be fluid in the direction of reading.

This is why corporations need constitutional rights--something I have seen the left trying to strip away during the last 10 years or so. Yes, a corporation isn't a person per se, but it is a group of people. To decide which websites ha

"No keyboard. Less space than a BlackBerry. Lame." I don't know why it wasn't obvious at the time. It just seemed like a silly gimmick. Ive still never owned an iPhone, but it's clear their design won. What I learne

My guess is that they don't want people to blame the OS for their slow machine... I seem to remember reading years ago that vista was a victim of this (no way I can find that reference now though).

The great thing is that the desktop space is considered small-peanuts now. It's no longer hip or cool. And even there, they are increasingly niche (windows for businesses and gamers, mac for video chat, web dev, and facebook moms).

Disney should drop the Jedi line. That hero arc has been told (and then rehashed in the last trilogy). You have a galaxy with a million planets. There is so much potential in Star Wars. Tell a story about a boy who leads a slave rebellion.

I actually gently disagree. There is a lot of statements that education doesn't teach practical skills, but i think that's a mistake. We don't teach specifics like 'how to do your taxes' or different retirement acco

I know petty much nothing, but I cannot help but feel that knowing the result, any answer is equally explainable. If Greenland ruled the world we would all be discussing some nonsense about how easily sleds glide over ice. Nevermind that th

People use 'living at home' as a stand-in for a set of properties: unemployed or lowly employed, low ambition, single, excess time on entertainment, etc. Of course they aren't always true individually (I know some of my faceb

I believe the first blackout was during the release of 'It'. Of course they never called it a blackout... they just always seemed to experience technical issues... and always on Friday or Saturday... on always on a Friday or Satur

The purpose of the role is to be able to show that you have a diversity officer. Whether or not that actually helps diversity, or helps at all--is secondary.

I support his speech, I just despise the hypocrisy. Nevermind that this position has an unwritten rule that it must be occupied by a minority.

I actually really don't think most people know what it means. Personally, I was on a team of over 10 devs and I am pretty sure none of us knew what REST really meant (including me at the time). The author is practically correct--RE

The term really is a bit too academic to understand for a lot of people who are unfamiliar with API design, but comes down to fairly simple concepts when explained in plain language. I compare it to how monads have an ivory tower definition

People have been offering rewards for 'information about' or 'arrest of' forever. But as soon as a tech company does it, it's evil. The question we should be asking isn't 'what happens if they get it wrong

I think to take the name of an app and extrapolate that it means mob justice (and not just community watch style activities) is another example of reading into it too much. It sounds like they wanted a catchy name (and its a much better nam

Obviously getting it wrong is a problem--but i think you folks are conflating two issues. If the FBI had wanted to detain this man, would that have made it okay? What if this app had just broadcast the FBIs own reward? You're reading i

Sure, then they copy that nonsense command and send it to you, without really understanding what all of the options are, and just treating it like a magic blob. I could totally see myself doing this

Perhaps we shouod be rethinking the entire premise of school assessment. The goal is ostensibly to learn. We only assess so students can prove they learned to third parties, and perhaps secondarily for inatructors to assess how effective th

Its not that discrimination doesnt exist, but it isnt TikToks job to solve it. If the amount of discrimination remains the same between traditional job seeking and Tiktok, then i dont see an issue.

The concept of a living wage is fluid. Things tend to go from luxury, to aspirational, to ubiquitous. Electricity, cars, internet, non-dirt floors, children having their own bedrooms... none of these are things my grandparents had access to
