I think this is wishful thinking. Reddit at its inception was sock puppet-boosted discussion of atheism and coding. Every choice its leaders have been made have been in support of further growth, not some philosophical ideal. It’s now one

Huh. So a DVD at 4.7gb would go from containing 5000 5mb photos to a 700mb model + 80,000 photos.

Nonsense. We wouldn't cope with it in the same sense we can't cope with the millions of colors in a 24-bit color space. Do we distinguish each individual color? No, but he full spectrum enables continuous color flow. When it com

"Willpower" is just another facet of attention. I claim it's easier to do deep work when not in a cluttered, crowded, overly-warm workspace with unasked for music, a dynamic precluded by the purely-incentive based model you&

For those like you who are gobsmacked, wondering what you’re missing, here it is: The scale of YouTube has counterintuitive implications. The harassment, deceptive self-promotion and trolling misuse of this feature was at such a scale that

I'll appreciate it quite a bit less, as this tantrum suggests that he fears being liable for just how much of is patients' experience he shared. The fear-of-doxxing charade never held water, borne out by how comfortable he felt s

The problem isn’t that we’ve locked opinion inside communities. It’s that doctoral programs are so poorly run. That universities are waiting for quantitative data to instill action is more sign of dysfunction. Here’s yelp for grad program

Whether it’s flat earth theory, a pundit eviscerating a college student, the global warming hoax, or exposing how exaggerated the threat of coronavirus is, the recommendation algorithm certainly keeps us clicking!

“But I learned something” Is an extremely low bar for evaluating an outcome. “But I learned something and applied it to make the next effort a success” is the natural valuable contribution...that we (quite tellingly) almost never hear about

I think it's this simple: Making successful, novel games is very difficult. Most people/groups fail. Adding an educational component multiplies the unlikely probability of success by a very unhelpful coefficient. Adrenaline, stor

Does it? If we'd had 330k deaths, and 70% were coming from nursing homes, focusing on care homes would still be more efficient, but we'd be left with 100k that weren't. I realize there is some (necessarily vague) policy thre
