Thanks for your response. I suppose the biggest problem I have with this approach is that its goal appears to be saving as much time as possible for the message sender, with little regard for the time of the message receiver. Several of the

I'm curious what your thoughts are about the USA's response. In California, the majority of people obeyed the stay-at-home orders for the first few months, but then, much like yourself, started ignoring them completely. They annou

Could you train a GAN on pages of text, so that it learns what words look correct next to each other, and produces a readable page?

He gave more of a range at the bottom of the article, 55-70. Still good, though.

You may be right, but I wanted to share an anecdote anyway. When I was 8 years old, my dad offered to buy me a go-kart. I think he was concerned I spent too much time indoors, and wanted surprise me with an exciting idea. I knew that my dad

Do many people grow up with a love of math due to this common practice, though? I would have thought the opposite.

I think I'd rephrase this to "my interesting, hand-drawn ad got 150% more clicks than a boring, run-of-the-mill design".

I read a news article yesterday that had the same ad repeated roughly 20 times. Would the metrics show a separate impression for every one of those ads I scrolled past? Also, despite the repetition, I don't remember what it was for. I

When I was eight years old I had a teacher who told us that if we needed to use the bathroom, rather than ask "can I use the bathroom?" we should instead say "I'm going to the bathroom". She said she would never sto

When I was younger, I wasted a lot of time following the advice of online strangers who seemed to have a lot of conviction in their ideas -- much more conviction than I'd ever had about anything myself. To me, that was a sign that they

In my experience, video games didn't desensitize me to violence -- the world just hadn't sensitized me yet. I spent my youth playing first person shooters. Now, with a little bit more life experience under my belt, participating i

I don't like the fact that I have to work, but the sad reality is that I have to. There is no other option available to me. And if I have to do it, shouldn't I learn to find some enjoyment in it, rather than angrily gritting my te

If most people are using a word to mean something different, doesn't that mean the meaning of the word has changed?

The last few trades surprised me. A KISS-themed snow globe is worth more than a year's rent in Phoenix? Someone would trade a house for a speaking role in a film? You can read more about the snow globe on the one red paperclip blog. It

Right, I think I was getting hung up on the "beer" word because "free speech" is a comparatively much more common phrase. But it sounds like almost any word that doesn't imply "libre" could be used to illu

I think a lot of it is to do with what you're paying attention to. If you show up every day to make and think about art, then your brain will stay in that space, and eventually reward you with ideas. If you completely give up and disco
