Doesn't it change the incentive structure though? If Lambda only gets paid when students get a job, they are much more incentivized to work towards positive outcomes for the student. If they get paid regardless, then they might as well

Yeah the privacy issues are bit scary. Our app can only be installed by people who are in IRB approved studies, but the nature of the data collected means de-identifying it is impossible. There is also the issue of what happens if it turns

My wife is a scientist who has peer reviewed hundreds of articles. She has never been paid a dime. Worse, she is forced to pirate articles published in the same journals she is publishing in and reviews articles for, because she can't

How would you keep the footage secure? There is zero point in cameras if the HD's can just be carried off, a decent safe will cost > $1000 and be ugly as all hell.

The nostalgia factor of these for people who owned one years ago, and are now earning enough to waste money on one will be high. Not going to lie, I want one, even though I appreciate my Pixel 3 camera nearly every day, and this has a rubbi

The justification was for the statement that chips aren't hitting their clocks. That is not a controversial statement.

every forum pretty much. If you have been interested in getting one, and following along with the launch this is not a controversial statement. It's not 100% sure its the chips fault though, bios issues are still running rampant nearly

Damn, I have been desperately trying to get one since launch. Think the USA is getting them all, and the rest of the world is getting screwed. I paid on launch day, my store is getting 2 3900x's this month, they have 78 people who have

I don't get it. The Telegram GitHub says: "Since one can't use Google's push messaging in a FOSS app", but I can't work out why? Lots of FOSS apps on GitHub, mine included, use Firebase. It had never occurred t

Yeah I'm confused too. I run an open source Android app used by a bunch of Universities, I'm not sure what this means? Surely you can still open source apps that use Firebase to send messages, you kind of don't have a choice.

I assume its a function of altitude? Not much air at 60, 000 feet. Although the same goes for the propeller I guess. The altitude would certainly be where the efficency comes from, but it's such a simple solution, there must be very go

Personally I felt people on GitHub were being way too harsh. He built something, moved on, and gave it away. He had no way of knowing the person who took it over would use it maliciously. Seriously, some of the comments blew my mind. Becaus

I have the exact same laptop. I really like it. I purchased because my x220 lasted forever. In fact it's still running fine as my back-up and travel computer. And in case of emergency, I can always beat an intruder to death with it, wh

More to the point, what about the "exorbitant privilege" the USA enjoys from having the worlds reserve currency? If other nations make a concerted effort to ditch this set up, the USA can no longer run massive deficits. Imagine th

To add to everyone elses responses, if possible, when dealing with psychedelics, it can be mentally helpful to have a xanax on you. Xanax kills psychedelics completely and totally within about 15 min, and bad trips are not something you wan
