I really wish simulated worlds would pick up. They’re just such a cool idea. And now we have VR!

I don’t think many people write light reading on the topic of unionization. That said, you should be able to find plenty of modern material on class, law and labor. If all else fails, read some classic sociology.

Disappointed in the lack of discussion of R-Shiny or Plumber. R-Shiny is a full stack platform for web apps, and it’s how I leveraged my data science background to get into web development. It’s incredibly powerful in my opinion, with the o

Even if you don’t find yourself reading biomedical research on a frequent basis, you should expose yourself to PubMed just to see how much care went into its development. Seriously, PubMed is one of my favorite websites for its simplicity,

I don’t think this is how it works. I haven’t played with the API but I’ve dug around a bit in the source for the Spotify client. More likely, it’s by sending a stream of data or otherwise its sending encrypted chunks for which Spotify has

This is a really good point and really reinforces the take that Amazon isn’t as big as many of us believe.

Of the research I’ve read, many scientists suggest that it’s the accumulation of plaques that cause Alzheimer’s.[0] There’s uncertainty as to what protein is responsible for the degenerative effects.[1] My bias exists for the fact that I be

Sorry, that was poorly presented on my part. I believe the most recent estimate was around 2-3% of all internet traffic was served on a web server being hosted by Amazon. I can’t find the original source, but this Quora post[0] and included

I’m skeptical, though I must admit that I’m not a subject matter expert. The disruption of serotonergic pathways probably isn’t something that can be amended by a serotonergic therapy. I’d actually predict that individuals with Alzheimer’s

Just looking at the numbers in the title, I assumed this article was going to be about AWS. The numbers are roughly 35% of commercial cloud market share and something like 5% of all websites. (The actual numbers are 1-3% less) But in light

The causal relationship seems like a stretch here. I highly doubt reducing air pollution will cure anyone’s depression. That said, it has other value in signally regions of high air pollution are regions of higher proportional depression. A

It’s to the point where I can’t blame Amazon for actions like these. The consumer has come to expect guaranteed overnight or 2 day shipping. When they don’t get that, they get really upset. Amazon doesn’t want its customers to get upset, an

To clarify, in many cases it’s actually states declaring Uber/Lyft as employment. They’ve managed to stay legally bound to the terms of hiring ‘contractors’ but states like CA are putting an end to this.

This article’s a couple months old, so it misses what I think is going to be a lot more definitive against Uber/Lyft. That is, workers are starting to successfully unionize. Both companies have delayed it as long as possible, but it’

It’s possible that Lime operates differently in Portugal than US, too. Also, I had a look at your repository and it’s fantastic. Great work on this.

The normal chain is app > server. Mitmproxy acts as a middleman. Typically you’ll run it on another device on the same network. app > proxy > server Which means every time the app makes a GET request (for example) the proxy can log

That $300 on Google Cloud is exactly what enabled me to learn as much as I know now about cloud computing. And to Google’s advantage, it made me really like the platform. Luckily, at this point someone else foots the cloud bill for me, but

I don’t use Robinhood anymore, but it’s definitely had an effect on retail brokerages. Foremost, it has attracted a younger crowd than most other brokerages have been able to. The $0 commission is now pretty universal, and most brokerages a

I figured out that you can technically specify type in Excel to prevent destroying the data, but by that point I’d much rather just load a data frame in R or Pandas.
