Oh please. I should hope that people aren't so intoxicated on the Kool-Aid that when Tesla claims the Roadster outperforms the fastest production cars in the world, people want to dig deeper. You're seriously implying that blindly

I find it really hard to believe you're arguing in good faith. What is the purpose of a comparison to Bush..? Even if the answer is that Bush was worse, it does not take away at all from how terrible Trump has been. And we're comp

That seems like a particularly cynical reading :) I can't say I got the same impression.

Ah, got it. I use Nightly; there's a Container Tabs > Settings page in Preferences. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

How did you define custom containers? I only see the 4 defaults of personal, work, banking, shopping.

I use one at work and never thought much about it. But reading this I have to agree. It simply works. I never had to think about my hardware because it silently and adequately does its job. If I owned any other Apple devices, I imagine the

Streaming requires little commitment to try out. You can easily have a normal job and stream at night to ease into it. The skills required are to just be entertaining. You can quit immediately if you want or need to, without dropping a beat

It may be less interesting to highly intelligent people, but finance employs an enormous number of them regardless. I assure you that plenty of highly intelligent people care just as much as anyone else about being rich. Your implication -

Yeah, I can imagine that hiding it would prevent excessive flagging, but when veteran users aren't even aware of the option, something is wrong.

Honestly, no. Because the flip side of that stance is that all information that has anything to do with me belongs solely to me. That just seems...naive? Unrealistic? I certainly don't find it morally repugnant or dehumanizing that som

You can flag comments. Click the timestamp of the comment and then you have the option to. Not sure why it's hidden away, though.

Amen.. I like to use exotic techniques just out of intellectual curiosity and to put my education to use, but ultimately a basic linear regression is all people want! Ease of interpretation is paramount.

I believe dsacco's posted about doing similar work before. Apparently there are teams of people at hedge funds that comb the web to find these kinds of datasets - non-obvious signals for financial metrics. Very eye-opening stuff. I alw

Did you misinterpret? Obviously it's not just you. No consumer would be happier if Comcast didn't try to provide a better product. The point is that judging by their past actions, Comcast won't do that.

Oh please. The US is laughably poor in every aspect of education besides US top universities. Don't reframe things, he never said the top institutions of the US were worse.

Man, this is timely. Work in data science at a startup right now, and table 1 is an incredibly accurate portrayal of my day-to-day. I had just opened a ticket about running analyses on production data before reading this article.

Only if you conveniently ignore the word "enlightened," which also happens to be the most important word there. More like a meritocratic oligarchy?

Even if your false equivalence were true, maybe both are bad? It's funny because this whataboutism is exactly the kind of thinking that Russian bots are accused of spreading.

Yes.. even if you figure out a perpetually unbiased system to do the fact-checking and labeling, uneducated people will still be manipulated into distrusting the labels. Fact checking organizations already exist and people still think Fox i

Never thought about this.. I have never had a huge desk, but I had a tiny desk for my last year of university - with my laptop on it, I could only write on half a sheet of paper - and my productivity was definitely at its lowest point.

The problem with the Pixel 2 XL screens seems to be attributable to LG. LG's own V30 phone has similar screen issues. Meanwhile Samsung's OLED panels are doing great so far - and Apple is sourcing from Samsung.
