that’s insane, what causes people to act like that I wonder? do they have no compassion?

Sometimes, the features are really must-haves though. Let’s say it’s march 2020 and your boss wants you to design a mass-market covid vaccine. You have three requirements: it needs to be safe for human use, it needs to be effective at preve

It’s kind of sad how almost none of the replies to your comment are even related to anything you said. It’s almost strange to read. All of them except one or two seem to just be people who had their own message they wanted to say and replie

I make transcripts of all my work using Descript. It uses Google's speech-to-text algo (same as the one in youtube presumably) and gives you a transcript you can then edit. It costs $15/month I believe, and you have to spend some
