Just a heads up. Make sure you get both solar and powerwall at the same time if you don’t yet already have solar. I learned the hard way about the additional cost associated with replacing the ac inverter. Here we’re mandated by the city to

Can we try it again except this time without the power of an organization to push awful copyright laws down the throats of every country[1]? It’s like if you consolidate power it becomes easier to corrupt. 1. https://www.eff.org&

There’s obvious brain-drain problems. Turkey doesn’t want it’s smartest people moving and working here. Nor is it in the interest of the US for high skilled workers to go abroad.

Get out in nature and think about your problems. Go on walks. Hike. Take up photography and stargazing. Use the time to unplug. When you do return to your screen you’ll have a fresh prospective on a lot of your problems. You’ll also be happ

Totally agree regarding compiled languages. I’m surprised python et all don’t offer a way to check for file/script “correctness” without execution. It’s so bad that I will often add a “-h” flag to scripts I encounter just so I can run

It’s really silly how people are worried about this like it’s a looming legal crisis. Have you seen the types of videos that are used in courts? They're grainy, CCTV footage with a trusted chain of custody. It’s not like they take foo

A lot of people are like you. Myself included. Which is why this topic is a front-and-center part of the democratic strategy for 2020. And if there isn’t a working alternative proposed by Republicans I don’t see much hope for them.

I would also like to see this started on a state level. I’m not sure why we have to do it “all or nothing”. Id it presents so many economic benefits then they can make it work on a state level.

The answer to this is so simple: rather than trying to optimize algorithms for admission, we need to decrease the demand for admissions to these schools. 1. Increase the supply. More seats. More schools. More teachers. More locations. 2. D
