That would be congruent with them being unethical. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and a lack of ethics. No one wakes up in the morning and thinks 'geez it's a great day to do some immoral shit.

The first rule of experiment design is to state your hypothesis and controls upfront, and test only according to those. You don't get to update those parameters after the test is complete. Failing to reject the null hypothesis but then

So much ignorance and misinformation about this issue even on HN. The parent comment and entire thread is 100% correct. There is nothing inherently unstable or unsafe about the MAX 8. It has a pitch-up characteristic that's mild compar

This sounds like the kind of whataboutism you'd encounter on any thread negatively countering China, but it isn't. This is an uncontroversial fact about capitalism that Adam Smith covered before capitalism even emerged as a concep

What does telemetry have to do with the windows 10 start menu becoming a container for ads and not trivially removable partnered apps? There's nothing wrong with transparent, privacy-respecting, and configurable telemetry, but what win

Linux seems to be doing just fine keeping software maintained without ads or harvesting data. This mindset is toxic and needs to die.

As per TFA, reddit banned a list of 'toxic' demographics. A quick scan over those demographics makes it quite apparent that about half of them are not related to hate speech but rather some of the other categories I listed above.

The size and conviction of 'toxic' groups is growing, not diminishing. Marginalising them and pushing them to less-visible communication channels is only harmful from every angle except staving off short-term moral outrage of soci

Specifically Unity would have been much better served using something like Electron. Unity's UI looks bad, feels bad, and is a huge pain in the ass if you're authoring extensions.

Can you elaborate on what tidyverse offers you that the python ecosystem doesn't? 'Nothing comes close' is a couple degrees too strong a statement from my experience with R, but maybe you know something I don't.

You can plug any compute kernel you want into spark, that's not a pro or con of R. Column stores are standard in any analytics pipeline today. They make up Python's Pandas, R's dplyr, and Java's DataFrame. How or why doe
