This is a much better article. The current one is just click-bait. I'm glad I read it but I'm even more glad it was with the context of other comments on HN.

I think a lot of people use downvote on things they disagree with. I personally try to downvote things that I see that are detrimental to good conversation not things I disagree with. If I disagree with you but it's good conversation

I like this plan because if we make biodegradable plastic cheaper than regular plastic then it would even help in places like the DR and it's neighbor Haiti where there literally is no garbage collection infrastructure and it's ea

I was in Haiti. This is true, mounds and mounds of styrafoam lunch disposal because there is NO place to put garbage. If it is collected it's burned. The people will burn it themselves because again there is no place to collect it.

I think this would fix high-schools but not college. This is a great idea though. It'd fix the no child left behind and become more of a, if you want college great we'll help you there. If college isn't for you, also great

I think this is also part of the problem. Why do they need a degree? I have seen many jobs that have a degree to enter barrier which don't need them. All of a sudden you reduce the debt of your workforce while opening up to a whole

The economy and the education system are out of sync. We are turning out a TON of degrees for a few jobs and expecting people to be able to just succeed based on a 4 year degree program. All the while the economy does expect a 4 year degr

I don't think it's the place of a pharmacist to diagnose people. But I do have a friend who's a pharmacist and they see doctors consistently poorly picking medicine for things they've diagnosed. I get that the initial d

100% agree. I'd love to see this in the US. most pharmacists have way more knowledge about drugs, their interactions and other issues that can crop up with prescription drugs. Given a diagnosis they are typically better at prescribin

Pomodoro timer. I work for 25 minutes at a time then take 5 minute breaks. This is more to help me start getting into flow. I know I don't do it right, but I'll start the pomodoro and that's my minimum. If I'm really i

There are two technologies at play here. Face Recognition (who you are). Face Detection (where the face is in frame). There really is nothing bad about Face Detection. That would have to be paired with other data in order to uniquely ide

I have a very little bit of experience here but I have a few questions based on your solution. What value does a recognition have? Is it just metadata they can act on in the moment? AKA age, height, race, gender? Are you ok with them kn

I have a couple of points. For the most point I agree with you but here they are. 1) People are people and what works for some kids doesn't work for others. While we're way past what I'd call ok as a society, kids still sho

Are you hourly? Do you get vacation? Do you get medical, 401k? I have done both, and I typically factor it all in for pay. If you're hourly that means that you get paid for what you work, which is great if you've ever worked a

I'm really happy that they open sourced their core code! That's an awesome thing for a company that's making money from this code to do. I know they've had some issues going from 1.x to 2.x (see other comments) but thi

Goodreads puts WoT book 1 at around a 4.18 and a downturn around book 8 to 3.90. Which exemplifies my point. Also my opinion, but you have to scale goodreads ratings between 3.5 and 4.5. That's about the lowest and highest I've

Wheel of Time the best book is around a 7/10. With some dropping as low as 3/10. There are much better examples of more immersive Fantasy out there. WoT, is a great example of a massive but mediocre series. EDIT: The ratings a

This was a fantastic read that isn't done any service by the CRAPPY title of the article. I can say that they aren't trying to get 10x the work on 1x the budget, but how to effectively manage a team so that your employees feel mo
