Obviously the study is not claiming that rates of THC use in general remain the same. One possible reason: the “new recruit” people who are now willing to use cannabis BECAUSE it is legal are also rule-following by being willing to stay off

> An open firmware repository, by itself, is not a failure Isn’t the complaint that the location of the repo is not publicized? Nobody would complain if it were linked directly from the company’s web page, I assume?

This is not sufficient because the TV you are showing the video on can (does/will) take the screencaps.

This is definitely a best case scenario. As important as I think questioning is, there’s another side of it where people push their own agenda with questions on topics that were decided by other/more senior people hashing it out. At so

I’m glad “super secure” is in scare quotes. I’m glad I have never heard of this app. Security and trust go hand in hand.

Nobody I know believes Duolingo is in it for anything but the money. To make money, cast the widest net. The people serious about learning don’t use Duolingo because it is so ineffective. Maybe the Duolingo CEO is sincere, I don’t know, but

I’m pretty sure the point is to have a conversation with someone (something) who is speaking correctly. As another poster here noted, the effect of error correction is nowhere near the effect of having correct input. (See the “comprehensibl

Look, we’re all here instead of studying our Anki decks, so… you got that “dopamine fix needed” problem nailed.

Nobody believes this is right. The question is: will you roll over and die without a fight for your rights? At least you have time you are spending on HN that could be devoted to learning to fight. The fewer people that fight, the faster yo

They shipped it to you. They associated a machine UUID with you at that time, as well as the SIM card. Now maybe you mean the TV? That’s not what this particular thread is about.

The point is what if you DON’T just connect something to bypass all the slowness. Maybe in a tech forum everybody has done it, but certainly not out in the “real world”.

Always wondered if this was a deliberate strategy to enable more tracking… but it sounds way beyond the ability of their corporate planning.
