Very nice, thanks for creating this! Out of curiosity, I've noticed that most neurotech startups are developing minimally invasive hardware, instead of invasive. Is there a particular reason for that? Solution efficacy, public accepta

I'm going to get downvoted to minus infinity but let me say this: consider also less techy firms. Or, companies that do have technology but aren't tech. I have some friends having a blast working with agriculture, there's lot

I feel that the time to migrate to Julia is now. The ecosystem is finally coming together and there doesn't seem to be breaking changes to the language anymore.

Imagine youre the first one to automate something many developers need, like converting IPs to locations or convert between two specific data formats. You can offer your API and make money from it. Check out this example: https:/&#x2F

I don't think they could be legally forced to use specific algorithms - most laws state the ends ("privacy"), not the means. In the old world of analog marketing, you had market research companies (Nielsen, Kantar, GfK) to me

This. Money and accountability are directly related. So are accountability and processes/controls, the "boring" part. I think the developer dream isn't really FOSS, but something along the lines of "very popular, st

I believe this is what happens with any open world MMO. There's no storyline to finish, there's no ending, and game devs have incentives to keep players playing forever (the more hours a player plays, the more likely he will spend

This. Compound interest is the key when the household income remains stable for decades. With monthly investments and dividends reinvesting a medium class family can achieve something... 20 years from now. Not saying the author doesn't

Yes and that's why many people look at both countries as equals, or equally bad actors. That wasn't always the case, though.

I'll believe it when I see it - they may shut it down at any time to funnel more investments into tracking, ads, lobbying and PR.

The same can be said of any arts & humanities -related industry IMO. I believe working conditions at an ad agency are generally worse than in an industrial complex because in the latter everyone's sure they're there for the mo

The streamer is 8 hours in, not the audience. Also, if you think how much free time children, teenagers and NEET adults have, yeah, 5+h per day watching games is completely doable during a pandemic.

Are there NFT plans that make sense? I'm sorry if I'm being too cynical for the general quality of this forum, but all I see regarding NFTs look like get rich quick schemes, so I'm not putting a cent in that. Am I losing the
