This is flawed libertarian thinking. For example, if a scammer called your grandmother and got her to send them her life savings, it wouldn't be a good thing just because she is "too stupid" to have the money.

You're assumption is untested as well. I'd rather guess that with greater mobility and the ability to move between jobs without fear of losing everything, people would move elsewhere and invest in housing outside of expensive citi

I think UBI is the best compromise as well for solving worker's rights issues and poverty. It doesn't have to exclude all other governmental programs though. I don't think fully private healthcare works in practice. It disinc

Hi, I'm a Social Democrat. I want all of those things and a capitalist system. I don't think markets solve every problem, however. For example, I think universal healthcare is a good idea.

He's talking about generating interest in a security by tweeting about it - "pumping" its price so he can sell for more.

It's amazing how unself-consciously this was said. As if "pumping bags" has no negative consequences for others.

I cook up some meat and vegetables in 20-30 minutes and they last a few days. It's not that hard to do. It just takes a bit of learning what vegetables you like and how you like them cooked. I mix it up with some less healthy foods, bu

Write the pages you are scraping to a cache. The simplest way would be to write them each to folder. Check if the page you are going to scrape is cached before trying to request it from the server.

This is great. I think it would benefit from having a large catch-all public server ehich people could use if they don't want to set up their own, shile retaining the choice to do so. That would improve the UX substantially, I think, a

I agree completely. IPaaS tools are bad programming languages with awful tooling. The logic you need to transform some data, say, can become very complex quickly and you're stuck manipulating it with terrible graphical tools. When you

I'm incredulous that having a screen strapped half an inch from your eyes for 8+ hours is desirable. I have an Oculus Rift, my face is sweaty/red in a couple of hours and there is an indent around my eyes. I'm sure newer tech

I don't think the algorithms produce good art. Aside from that, I think changing the rating system from an emotion-based one to something more neutral like numbers would be better. Art that makes you feel "bad" can be good ar

You don't need ml. If you know the font and blurring algorithm (or a close approximation), you blur all letters of the font at that size and compare output.
