Oh definitely, and and it will always be a game of cat and mouse. That feature on your Dad's phone sounds like a decent step in the right direction.

I agree that it wouldn't catch all spam, but it might help reduce the amount of recorded robocalls waiting for someone naive enough to engage.

Would you support phones having an optional answering captcha system for untrusted numbers? Something like: "answer the following question to complete your call: if Sally has two eggs and Michael has one, how many do they both have?&qu

I know exactly what you mean, and I know plenty of people from my hometown who've made the same choice. I completely empathize with your choice. And I ask: aren't people leaving further exacerbating this issue? My family has bee

Thank you very much for those data. It does line up with my experience. > Is there a drug or industrial pollution problem? Are folks from the city buying up your housing stock? Yes, there are major substance abuse and lead contamination

I work remote in tech and live in a rather economically depressed and forgotten area of the country. Given your background in finance, I am genuinely interested in your take on this region and how we could improve it. The area is the Southe

I definitely agree with you and understand that. It just seems like everyone around me in my life is struggling more than they were four years ago, and are scared of being laid off whether they're in tech or not. I don't have numb

I forget now and can't find the code, but if I recall correctly, I had each tokenized word map to its syllables and used that in calculating the next word. I wasn't able to get far enough to make each haiku make perfect grammatica

Markov Chains are cool stuff. Back in 2015 in one of my senior class projects, I built a haiku bot that would take a seed word and make a haiku from a corpus of Tweets I collected from the firehose API.

Agree to disagree, but you're entitled to your (incorrect) opinion. I'm done here.

Contrary to popular belief, there are other states in our nation with people whose business has nothing to do with California or it's residents.

Personally, I don't think this works in real life. Consumers catch on to dishonest business practices and want choose new market options if/when they becomes available, and do not need a nanny state to pick winners and losers. If

This is from a US small non-profit, and small for-profit operating with way less than $1M in funding, and not necessarily intending to deal with people in the EU context: Not every company has money to pay for the hours to ensure they are G
