My research is in urban planning so I mostly use city/state/federal data and occasionally data from court cases. Most of that data is sparsely updated and I'm not clued in on many real estate APIs to track up-to-date trends i

I misread it the same way--I've been praying for a good API to do some housing affordability data projects.

Wouldn't that just create simulacra of human language? Seems difficult to draw a circle around "human stupidity" while keeping the innate human qualities & also not amplifying similar AI aberrations

You're missing out on a billable hour per week! Two hours if you time all your updates correctly.

Hey just wanted to say I use your app for all my reading, both school and recreational. Having a good desktop ebook interface has probably 5-10x how much I usually read over the last year--thanks for that!

Thanks for this--it's like a performance art piece on what happens if you don't take any humanities classes. No notes!

You can throw out Reddit guy words all you want but that doesn't mean I'm wrong. I didn't exclude any discipline I said it extends to all of them. That's not how "no true scotsman" works. I gave you sources to

Poor "science" exists in any discipline. Look at these articles and tell me how many named studies are in gender studies, for instance. I don't really think you'll find bigger critics of the academy in other fields eithe

I think you're expressing an unhealthy resentment here. I work as a SWE and I appreciate the critical thinking involved in the types of problems I get to solve. I'm also in graduate school for something that often borders on human

While I work in data and do appreciate the sentiments in some ways, I'm not sure this feeling is unique to any type of office work?

My brother passed down my grandma's advice on college, which was to believe that you will pick up the things you need to know one way or another so take the opportunity to learn things you will probably never encounter again. It defini

Generally it depends what you need to get from it. If it's a standard research paper with introduction, methodology, results, and discussion you can use the introduction to gauge your understanding of the essential background and then

> The author doesn't address that blockbuster movies have always found a "trendy look" and run with it. Is what she claims Netflix is doing any different than any other popular cycle in filmmaking? I think this is pretty c

This is a guess although I work in "edtech" and wrote a thesis on institutional finance so it's a slightly educated guess--I think rising tuition rates coupled with stagnant real wages and increasing CoL change the cost-benef

I don't enjoy the genre of hiring managers writing self-servicing articles like this. I think a lot the issues they might face in receiving applications are on their end. For instance, are applicants writing "to whom it may concer

I agree here that school seems great. You might find out you hate it more and be able to come back to your job (or a similar one) with no real loss due to the GI bill. More likely, you will spark some passions and learn more about what you

Not sure practicality is the goal--Being inconvenient might actually be the intent.

In Death and Life she talks about "diversity", which was more about housing types and prices rather than like demographic diversity, but often accomplished the same thing. Definitely a way of making things more affordable.

Yeah there is a reason, it's that the developers don't usually set aside public space, especially not in small quantities like that. If they're required to, they will typically lump it into one large park with something like

They absolutely do protect people against being in situations with people who have repeatedly endangered others. What responsibility do the survivors have to make an "open, public accusation"? They're going to derail their pe

I like going on day trips, having two nights a week I can stay out late and sleep in late, being able to make brunch plans, go out of town for a day, taking day-long hikes or backpacking, being able to go fishing. I think you could probably

For sure man, give easy ($) access to favorable treatment and reach to accounts interested in self-promotion. Sounds like a really good outcome for the platform, what we need is MORE ads nested in the feed.

I would say little self-hosted servers. Especially as infrastructure-as-a-service takes off and people look for alternatives. We all pile on to one person's Plex, Minecraft server, host our projects off of it, etc. Things like Raspberr
