If this was good music I would applaud the ingenuity. However, it's handpan music, which I like, but it's so poorly recorded that it's... just wow. Bad. Lot's of annoying high end reverberation and a ground loop hum on o

But are you including your own salary into that cost? I believe he is comparing aws bills vs. engineer time+other hosting bills.

I never said that the rich shouldn't be rich. I am implying that the poor shouldn't be held down. And I'm also arguing that having a healthy society with a functioning welfare system reduces crime and ultimately reduces thes

And thus the cycle of poverty continues and meritocracy descends into hereditary meritocracy, which isn't a meritocracy at all. > I don't see how that money can be reclaimed except for the taxpayer covering it. I see that the e

Syncing doesn't even need a server if the devices you're using are online at the same time. I just switched to it from Dropbox.

To me it looks like they saved quite a lot of engineering effort, and the price was lockin. Seems like it was probably a fair trade for them. At least if it's sane and well thought out it can be taken back apart and repurposed for some

Their system seems very sane. I'm jealous, and I hope it stays that way (sane, not static). It's also entirely dependent of features of AWS. I used to work for a company that had a very insane hybrid datacenter/aws deployment

My university's career coaching always told us to dress at the level of the workplace + 1. I think this is a good rule. You look good, but not awkwardly out of place. Perhaps it's an unfortunate social rule that we shouldn't

This is still done. The incidental sounds you hear in movies are often (or almost entirely?) dubbed after the fact, and are not from the microphones on the filming set.

They got paid money to take the plastic off our hands and recycle it, not the other way around.

That was fast. Thanks. Also, the music and the birds are a nice progress indicator anyway.

Really beautiful. A nice little palate cleanser of a game. Well done! My only comment/complaint is that I wish I could turn off the rankings display. I understand that it provides the "level up" mechanic, but I long for the Z

You're misrepresenting the article. It's not so much about taking the videos down, as the recommendation algorithms pushing people in the extremist direction.

Hostelworld... ok so I'm probably not the demographic you're looking for answers from. However, Booking.com is by far the world's largest hotel booking website.

This isn't an isolated incident or new news. It's standard IBM at this point, and the world deserves to know.

I see what you did there. Meditation has boosted my ego, in some meanings of the word, and given me a sense of self worth. It's also taught me that everyone is interconnected and self is an illusion. Those two things go hands in hand t

> I wonder, is this what ego means in Buddhism? That's the correct question to ask, and the short answer is "no." Non-self means that there is no sperate, unchanging self. You are a constantly changing phenomenon that has

The data is fascinating, but the conclusion that this is somehow apposed to Buddhism is just absurd. A healthy sense of self worth does not stand in the way of eliminating the view of a separate, persistent self for the betterment of all be

At that point they've often turned into a type of drinking vinegar which, believe it or not, often don't taste acidic at all.

I always thought that "notes of blank" was kind of silly until I saw this flavor wheel for coffee [0], and it clicked that tasters simply had a vocabulary that they tended to draw from because flavors are hard to describe. [0] ht

That makes me think a little bit differently about filter bubbles. Filter bubbles aren't new. They're just changing from physical proximity into ideological or emotional response (as best as an algorithm can tell) proximity.

Yes. I agree with this. Having command line and interactive terminal experience and actually programming your environment the more fundamental skill to have on mainframes.

Maybe you could mostly learn it on the job if they thought you had interest? I actually had an internship in COBOL with zero prior experience. They were hoping to convince some of us kids to give it a shot. In my experience it wasn't h

The article is about the methods of new studies that are attempting to quantify something that many - but not all - find intuitive. Yeah, there are bigger fish to fry, but I found it interesting.

They just look at the numbers in the boxes unless they decide to audit you.

I'll strongly disagree with this one. After a day of driving I regret it. I don't own a car so o rent a variety of different ones. The headrest always forces my neck forward. The bucket shape of the seats closes my chest and cause
