The unease is too abstract to me. I understand that it feels creepy at first, but personally that feeling faded away. As things stand personally, I'm consuming online services from Canada and I don't understand what's so bad

It's a nice theory, but also a very well tested one. Just read an article on bloomberg about the policy being a wash in San Francisco, with some concerns that it may have had some other effects they weren't able to measure. It&#x2

I guess if you only ever use the mobile app, but still there's a desktop app and the browser extension to practice your memory. The pin thing is a big time saver because typing on mobile still sucks, and I'd have to re-type the ma

I suggest you use Power Query to load external data. If you do, pivot tables and tables connected to those queries should all update automatically on refresh. Power Query is really the best feature in Excel to me, eventually users will stop

The typing thing also happens on 4chan and reddit for me. I wonder what's causing this.

Just thinking out look because that is just very improbable. But effort wise, implementing the win32 layer over linux is a harder thing than what they did with wsl1, surely right? But at the same, their wsl team was like what, a few guys? 1

The issue isnt that low-skill jobs are being replaced by robots, since many of them are kind of shitty and/or physically harmful by being repetitive, etc. So it's not necessarily a bad thing to see them disappear. The problem we h

As others have said, I'm not a fan of the red hat on a white background. Is it the color, the shape of the hat? I almost want to say that, had they simply extracted the hat from the old logo, I would've liked it more.

Huh? If you're asked to waive your right by your employer, I'm pretty sure you can get them in trouble by going to the media and make a fuss about it. This is a silly hypothesis.

Exchanging a dollar for a product means that I value the product more than the dollar. I didn't lose in this trade. Now, if I think the product is overpriced, in the current market I'd wait for it or a competitor's product to

You have to look at the brain-to-body mass ratio, but even that is not accurate by itself, you have to look at the encephalization quotient for a more accurate measure. As per the wikipedia's page on brain-to-body mass ratio.

It is still misguided. The idea of capitalism works because everyone is acting in their self-interests all the while everyone benefits from each other's work. The first thought that should come to mind where you see a corporation that&

This is wrong of course. Public housing does nothing to suppress the problem of growing demand while having limited supply.

It's not obvious to me how subsidized healthcare is both better and cheaper in all cases. It certainly makes it more accessible for everybody, but that also has many downsides here in Quebec, including a very long wait-list for many ty

That can't be true, if you're not a citizen of a certain country, you don't get subsidies for its services.

What does having no willpower mean? Is it even possible? Does having strong willpower mean that you will be able to resist every single one of your many impulses if you see them as negative? Let me reformulate that: is willpower generalizab

I wouldn't relate willpower to subconscious decisions. To me, it's about a conscious effort to refrain from acting on impulses. With that being said, conscious effort is not always required to get out of bed in the morning. What i

If all were forced to work or starve, I'd bet many would live in the same house and each work to pay their share of the rent, food, etc. I know I'm stating the obvious, but it seems to me that this reality is not as abject as demo

Interesting theory. Also surprising that the counter-measure to disease-carrying flies is not a stronger immune system but something that gets them fewer bites. EDIT: but thinking about it more, nothing says multiple traits can't gain

One step at a time sounds like a better strategy. Watch this and learn a bit more about why they're doing Starcraft AI. The Deepmind guys first appear around 32:00. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUTMhmVh1qs

The game where Mana won seemed to be primarily because he discovered an exploitable maneuver against the AI.

Well, that's pretty damning. I hope this gets an answer from some Googler now that's it's out in the media.
