Facebook was leveraging Onavo at the time to understand growth trends in competitors. They 100% acquired Instagram and WhatsApp because their growth trends posed threats to the Blue app.

I can't endorse this more. I wasn't familiar with Robert Caro until this series started (I had heard of the LBJ biography but hadn't looked into it). The interviews at the end of each episode is super insightful about how th

There aren't three, there is every justice between when the decision was decided and now. Republican and Democratic judges upheld stare decisis for years. Note Roberts isn't of questionable character but if he loses the conserv

Wasn't this decision essentially made by the ultimate regulatory body in the country? How is the supreme court beholden to citizenry? They have life appointments, they're beholden to no one (except exceedingly rich "friend

So.... Feels like all this ignoring Stare Decisis is setting the groundwork for the court to get packed and become another joke of our governance mechanism.

By opening the package of salmonella you've agreed to binding arbitration agreement in the venue of their choosing.... Sadly I'm not even that far from serious.

In 1997-ish I failed to install Slackware from 16 or so floppies repeatedly. In 2000 I had a system up and running but could not get connectivity. In 2005 almost everything "just worked" out of the box. In 2013 everything just

VSCode and Markdown go a long way for me because it allows for index linking and some other nifty tricks. The main challenge is making sure the md files are organized.

If Brother Laser Printers didn't exist I'd be more worried. I don't know what people that need color printing do anymore.

Is this a piece of legislation with a serious chance of passing? How would something like this even be enforced?

Maybe 'educational plan' is a misnomer. How about 'strategy and tactics'. Both knowing what the child should eventually learn and adapting so that they learn it.

I said in another comment before I read yours: homeschooling, having more outcomes at the extremes, lead to many people to have observational biases (and strong opinions) in both directions.

by iaw 3y ago
I think the only conclusion I've been able to draw from anecdotes about homeschooling (having experienced it myself) is that outcomes are more varied than traditional education, whether there's a bias in that variance is not somet

I suspect many are aware of this but for those uninformed: Reiser committed premeditated murder of his (ex?)wife Nina around 2006 and hid her body so well they could not find her. He made his children think either that their mother abandon

I cannot endorse Muji enough. They are also easy to obtain in the US. I save my empty pens so I can refill them. I just got a full color set to use as well. The ink flow levels are always balanced, never too much or too little. It'
