I feel your pain. But please, do not lose hope! The good news is there is now exponential progress is neuroscience and brain-machine interfaces. And above all, try focus on what your child does have or can have. Our weaknesses sometimes

We are down to anecdotal evidences here. So as another anecdote, a guy I know went on a carb-free diet and developed diabetes as a result. His body lost the ability to process sugar. Bottom line, most people needs a balanced diet - includin

For someone who's already saddled with $100K in debt, a little extra risk of deferred or lower-than-market compensation is not necessarily a big deal. And if they get into YC, their after that is much lower than with an average startup

Yes, one of the nicest cars I ever owned. I am about to reach the end of my 3 year lease and would get another Volt in a heartbeat if that was an option.

In theory, the solar roof should absorb ~30% of the rays a cars is exposed to, so it won't heat up as much. Not sure if the effect would be significant, though.

How hard is can it be for an email client, e.g. Gmail, to specifically detect tracking images (literally 1x1 pixels or other similarly small/inconspicuous images) and to block them by default? Sounds pretty trivial to me...

Folks, the equation is quite simple: the US is a high-risk, high (financial) reward society. Unlike the EU, it's optimized for the upside: you have many opportunities to create wealth for yourself (and sometimes for others). The EU, co

Why apologize for admitting the woman was gorgeous, as if it was improper? :) If anything, not acknowledging someone is gorgeous - when one actually is - should be improper. Beauty matters - always did, always will. Instead of pretending

Also, the forces influencing the society are not statistical, at least not in this sense. A small minority in a group is definitely capable of challenging old norms and installing new ones. In fact, that is how it usually happens.

How about the full context, before we jump to conclusions? Was that sent to a co-worker or not? Was that an argument for or against "being owned"? Was that sarcasm or in earnest? Was that a quote from a book? None of that is cl

Patrick - a strong statement indeed, kudos you guys! To to diminish from it, but even stronger statement would be for Stripe to relocate the HQ to another state, or at least to a city lake Vallejo. It may be impractical at this point, but .

The idea that single family homes are the ideal environment to raise kids is seriously overrated. Yeah, kids can frolic, but in isolation - as opposed to community playgrounds that are often much better equipped and where they can develop e

Say what you will about Siri, but it was the watershed product that unleashed a new generation of mass-market voice assistants, including later bloomers such as Alexa, Google Assistant, etc. Yes, it was (is?) relatively rudimentary technolo

First, FastText is very similar to (a superset of) Word2Vec. Secondly. RNNs are far from being endgame for anything. In fact, recent research has been moving away from them towards more predictable and parallelizable methods (see, e.g., Goo
