100k seems quite high for a specialized chat app.

I think the worst part about being clinically depressed is how it feels impossible to do a little bit for a few days at a time, and then all my context/momentum/enthusiasm burns up by the time I come back to a project.

I don't see DHS as a listed agency--which ones would be the most interesting for an average person?

Is there any reason to think there's a ceiling on these types of products or a big distinction between different types of engineering? I understand there will still be software engineers to validate, supervise, etc. But what if every t

I think some of us have our head in the sand about how disruptive this will be to software engineering as an industry. I find the applied stats-yness of ML really boring, but I also want to hedge against some of these companies creating run

Unrelated but Israel is so cool in terms of technological prowess. A nation of 9 million people and almost every article about cutting edge tech includes them. Really remarkable imo

Demographic collapse, irresponsible extractive industry, and in fact many citizens are excluded from the most dynamic parts of the country by the Hukou system. China is a really interesting place that has had an incredible meteoric rise, bu

That last part doesn't ring true. It's like saying a championship sports team would just chug along without any particular player or coach.

I had a similar upbringing. All the hours of my childhood in the local health and human services offices and WIC nutritional centers turned me off of civil servants and bureaucrats. It felt like they were always condescending and snippy, or

Why would NASA not release detailed topology maps? Doesn't that have a lot of value to al researchers around the world?

I understand this conversation is about Beyond Meat kinda stuff, but it's isn't no for the two oldest and most popular fake meats--tofu and seitan. And yet tofu especially gets beat up in terms of fake vs natural.

Unless this changed in the last year, this is incorrect. Everyone was pushed to Chime after it was released.

Nothing substantial to add, but I'm reading this book now and I'm finding it pretty interesting. The idea that the way colonial societies were organized and their institutional legacies affect modern nations makes a lot of sense.

Yup, I commented before finishing the text based on where she was arrested. The point still stands I think. Yes, it's not as flagrant as living in the US. But you'd think a person engaged in this kind of thing would feel relucta

Why would a person doing this type of crime reside in the US? I understand quality of life is higher than Russia, but Russia neighbors Latvia--her country of origin. It is confusing to me because if she were there, her activities would have

I think that the difference here is that actors in places with radically different COL can pariticpate. Imagine if a kid in a Northern Triangle country could sell drugs on the street of an American city--the risk/reward is much differe

I think this elite notion is over-simplified and inaccurate. It suggests that some significant portion of students are at these kind of "walled garden", elite institutions where students become disconnected from the struggles of &

I don't get it I thought k8s was like the perfect match for Go? K8s is even written in Go. I know that doesn't strictly mean it must be easy to use Go, but it seems weird that it wouldn't be K8s best experience.

If it's really just contained to media content, that's like saying Sirus XM means your car operates on a subscription model.

I think the current system is too much in Apple's favor, but I imagine they do have to spend a decent chunk of change curating the app store, validating submissions, hosting the apps for download, and maintaining the security infrastru

Imo TV is so much worse than the kind of entertainment the person you're replying to listed. The cable TV I watched as a kid was just garbage. I know it's still all ad driven, but the stuff kids watch now seems much more useful. R

I don't know if personal guilt or shame is the correct feeling either, but I also don't think OP should feel nothing . Time and entropy (empires dissolving or population groups migrating) definitely diffuse the responsibility for

I don’t understand. It’s a marketing tactic except for this place you’re doing this exact thing with?

I guess I just disagree with the idea that things which are polarized across party lines are political. Want to note that I’m pro Israel, think the OP said an awful thing, and I am a progressive.

by distribot 5y ago
This isn’t political though, it’s social. Unless political to you means anything related to the way society is structured and people relate to each other.

I don’t see how that is related since nowadays most people use Facebook products from mobile apps. They’d still be hosed right now.
