After seeing this, I just had to post this (btw I think it's probably a good idea). This clip is kind of a funny metaphor for what I tend to see in comment threads about many topics, but politics especially: https://www.you

I think the context everyone needs to start taking with internet comments / blogs / etc. is that "everyone can be part of any open community". The other important thing to take is "everyone can voice their opinion&

I think a legitimate fear, though, is that once general AI has become a reality, it's "off to the races". This, in my mind, is certainly a problem where the dialogue really should be had before-hand. I think it's no lo

I want to speak generally about new UI components, since this is the 2nd post in a week (about a new library of UI components) that reached front page (that I've seen) which are not addressing what I see as a fundamental issue that fut

I think in a "normal" situation a government could fund programs that will help citizens understand how to deal with this relatively new phenomenon (ubiquity of fake news). The problem is approximately 50% of the US doesn't

I don't get the impression the parent comment is saying "people are stupid". I think the point is "news != entertainment". At least it shouldn't be. If you want to be entertained go watch a movie. If you wa

Are there a lot of cars on the market with paddle shifters? I am not much of a "car enthusiast", so I'm somewhat ignorant in this area. Just need one to get from point A to point B.

I'm in US, and am always struggling to find new cars when I'm ready to buy because of this probably. Just recently I visited a dealership where the sales guy told me flat out "manual transmissions are extremely rare anymore&

I've been really looking forward to getting some feedback on some of the ideas I've been trying to bring to life in a side project I've been working on. May not be able to reply to comments tonight, but will try to revisit t

I think a lot of this is a result of probably not being able to recruit top talent as easily as companies who have "opened up". 1) Many people at top of the talent pool know that the internet makes it possible for them to not only

No problem. My mistake. I would definitely not accept the info as legal advice. But as with most things discussed on this forum people like to point others to what may be useful in their research? I, as probably most others on this forum

Oh, I'll certainly get legal advice. Just trying to make those sessions more productive by getting a bit of a head start. Also I think it'll be good for all citizens to get a heads up on what will and won't restrict them (t

I won't promise anything, but have been contemplating an idea for a relatively long blog post about exactly this. Having lived for the last several years in a very rural area of the midwest I would say that not only do you need the rig

Just one reason, among many. From the article: He often said, “It’s not enough to win—all others must fail.” I think capitalism taken to its extreme is counter-productive to society.

I'm interested to know if anyone with a decent amount of experience with this technique can vouch for the linear formula? It would certainly be great if that is an ideal formula. I'm curious to know if a slight curve in the form
