To be honest, there will be many companies who will discriminate against you due to a lack of a degree (a lot of big ones that have the most stable environments require it). However, it's not impossible to get a job at a place that has

Honestly, this is tantamount to negligence by the FAA. This plane should've been grounded immediately and all of them checked for maximum safety. But the US, as dumb as always, just goes "nothing to see here", "we'r

This is the problem when a society manufactures self-proclaimed experts on everything that do no actual research or scientific studies in the field they discuss. It's one of the many vices of the Internet.

I had a friend in elementary school that was a lot like this. As we stayed friends all throughout our school days, he would constantly argue with me about the stupidest things. Even when I was right and could demonstrate he was wrong, he&#x

Please correct me if this is disingenuous, but I feel like you basically just said you're used to having VCs subsidize your entertainment platforms and that you've extrapolated that entitlement into a justification for never payi

This is why I've never liked curated app stores and I hate the whole app store concept in the first place. I mean, what did people expect when you can't develop apps for devices unless they're "registered" by some c

Open source doesn't imply "does-not-cost-anything" at all considering you can still sell open source applications. And yeah, open access is a better word.

People don't want to pay for it because there are mechanisms in place that sustain these businesses outside of ads. Just think about how much VC money is dumped into these services that never or barely generate a profit and they'r

I don't agree with blocking users with ad block. Just embed ads in stream, it makes so much more sense. This is just an excuse so Spotify can run ad spam on their clients. I'll stick with Google Play. 100 times better. Only play a

Researches benefit from doing peer review so that quality research is maintained. Its part of their job. I don't get "paid" to put in expense reports for trips on the job, but I have to do them because its a job responsibili

Many of the open source journals are predatory. And they will publish anything , even complete junk. The problem isn't academic administers demanding publication in recognized journals. Its that they charge steep prices in the first p

Honestly doesn't seem like he failed at all. Sounded like just bad times for the business. I mean 2 years of difficulty seems like a minor thing in the grand scheme of the business lifetime. Not only that, the business literally keeps

Fortunately, Google exists so you can learn new things and develop foundational knowledge. Its all about what you do with the knowledge, and has little to do with the fact that you're Googling. For example, I was Googling how to create

Funny thing is, reality is based a lot in perception. For example, it was "reality" that the higgs boson didn't exist before 2012. It was simply part of a model.

Because I can check the sources. I can go to the Twitter profile and search the tweet. I can corroborate sources. Whether its the correct interpretation or whether the content of the tweet itself is factual depends on several factors. And I

What's fact is what is being stated on Twitter, not that the content itself is fact. People are known to say inaccurate, untruthful things. Is it wrong to report what people state? You completely misunderstood what I meant. For example

How does this make any sense? Why should you distrust news because they report on inconsequential stuff? Whatever is on twitter is still a real fact because they repeat, verbatim what people post on it. Distrust implies they're lying t

Well, forwarding really isn't any different because standard, non-forwarded mail often goes to addresses where the recipient isn't present either. Forwarding just requires it. So its an extra stop (which is worse), but the concept

I don't think it would be advisable to deliver mail from point A to B directly, physically. It would be too inefficient since mail has to be sorted and is often sent to intermediate facilities to do this.

Facebook lost a lot of stock value over the Cambridge Analytics scandal and the spread of fake info after it was reported on. Of course, this assumes this was the actual cause of its declining stock value, since it recently increased. So ye

Merit is relative. For example, it shows a lot of merit that you successfully completed a PhD program in machine learning. However, for some reason, there seems to be this constant need to discount people with academic qualifications when m

My guess is there's way too much stuff in terms of I/O for this form factor to even be feasible.

Comfort is not bad for a company period. Its what keeps the lights on, but it depends on how you define it. Most projects have horrible deadlines and they happen often so there isn't a lot of time to play R&D on a lot of things. I

Job interviews often hide the following: 1) What the people are like 2) What the benefits are 3) What your bosses like 4) What the company culture is like Pretty much everything meaningful about a job is kept hidden because of the game of &

Almost every social media site wasn't marketed. MySpace didn't have marketing, neither did Facebook, neither did Twitter, Snapchat is still popular even though it struggles to make any money. Those are just the few that come to mi

Facebook practically implemented a worse version of MySpace. The only problem with MySpace was security issues which I think ultimately killed it in the end.
