Or that no one trusts Facebook and companies realize that, and no one really thinks they need Libra?

That assumption is huge. The other problem is that this tech doesn't really solve a problem most people have, so there's no motivation against waiting for a different company to try this. Heck they could even use the same code and

I don't think the posted is making any discussion of efficacy here, but is simply stating that there are people (non-US) who have to make the economic choice not to attend school, so filtering by degree even outside of the US is proble

Let's also not forget they are avidly against buses too. Not sure what bringing their name up in this piece does for the point of the article. If anything it makes me cast doubt in the points if the ad campaigns they have run (shown to

Has any city ever argued against this? The thing is you need both, not just one.

There is so much misinformation here on college admissions. First, class rank is not reported by a majority of high schools, and many top high schools specifically for the reasons you mentioned. Beyond that, the class rank statistics don&#x

The problem of course is that it's cultural. Interviewer: So how did you enjoy your time in school? Interviewee: Oh Cambridge was a great place!

Wrong verbiage, point still stands. Probably a decent number of MAU on Facebook in that range but logging in and checking one thing twice a month is a big usage difference from daily or semi daily sessions that last for minutes, not seconds

Very true in my experience. While many (maybe 60%) still have an account, they basically do nothing with it. If you're a Facebook employee you may see that number of signups number and go "yeah they are using it" but the amou

So how many years until he ends up in jail? I feel like he's walking around a room with a giant bag of cash setting mousetraps for himself and he's gotta run out of room eventually. 2-3 years?

There's a setting to turn on flagged/dead comment viewing, which I find very helpful. I feel like many don't realize the underbelly HN has, and I think many should.

While true on the first part, these days many cases don't have insane primary efficiency needs that would be affected by that log(n). As always though, you choose the tools based on the job at hand, not the tools. In my experience, fun

This x 100. Most of Gen Z has become absurdist (memes only make sense to young people often for this reason) out of necessity. The "adults" have failed them and they have no power to change it. Depression and anxiety should only b

What's funny to me about all of these comments is that practically focused CS programs can hit the best of both worlds. There's a reason there's a direct Waterloo to Google pipeline beyond just the 4/4/4 timing. Co-

Google already stores your browsing history in the cloud if you're signed in, which most users are. The "keylogging" wouldn't really add any value to the data, and thus I don't really buy that cost. If you're n

Police brutality, racially targeted drug operations by the CIA/FBI, and the ignoring of the AIDS crisis come to mind in the past 50 years. The civil rights act didn't magically solve everything. Those are just a few major things,

Just want to highlight this with an additional comment - as someone who went through a CS degree and was heavily interested in CS pedagogy and compared many a CS curriculum, this is a great compilation of great resources.

This is way too tech centric. Most of the LGBTQ+ tumblr users are not Mastadon users currently.

Importantly left out here is what the default is. It sounds like the default is must log in - I can't imagine how many tumblr users would choose to only have logged in viewers. I've left a while though so feel free to correct that
