I think the parent comment I was replying to was more concerned about the situation where we have UBI without full automation. In which case there may be a push for jobs not yet automated to be split into part time positions. If society rea

It's certainly something you have to seek out in any game. Just like somebody can sit in Eve's highsec playing missions, someone playing a traditional role-playing game like Skyrim can play it as a loot simulator (fun too). Eve an

Yup, I think the poster conflated libertarians with anarcho-captialism (much closer to Eve and how he described it). Happens all the time and american libertarians aren't exactly blameless for the reputation given their fringe.

I wish you could use that, the Pages app, and the Groups app with a deactivated Facebook profile (I could still connect in meaningful ways). I understand why Facebook has no reason to make it that way, but it is making me vote with my feet.

I am an avid redditor with a mostly dead facebook account, so I agree that the content is better, but it's different networks entirely. Reddit has still held on to its psuedo-anonymous roots, and thus hasn't lived up to the "

Consider the consequences if it is the same/cooperating state actors behind the 2015 OPM breach. At that point there would be mountains of blackmail data.

I think the poster was saying that proper unit testing would give false positives. Example: If I have a "dead" add() function with a unit test that asserts add(2,2) == 4 , then code coverage would report that function being cov

You're correct that there's a lot more overlap with the gamer space, but that's not limiting them right now or in the future. They'd be wise to court other communication needs. Anecdotally, I really enjoy the Reactiflux

This is really cool outreach on OpenAI's part. So many young people watch The International and I'm guessing that at least a few of them are more interested in CS and STEM from seeing this.

1. There's currently only one creator I'm supporting, so its not that hard to justify for now. But considering that he puts out ~2 hours of quality video content per day, and I watch 90% of that, makes sense. 2. I like to compare
