I think that loot boxes should be subject to the same laws as slot machines in the US (since they are online slot machines, right?). If your state doesn't allow slot machines and online gambling then no loot boxes for you. If it does,

Is this targeted at junior data scientists? Is the intent for them to know that their code is inefficient, unformatted, overly specific, weird ass, and wrong? I don't disagree that large amounts of people graduating from computer scien

Does it really matter what youtube does so long as the community holds these content creators accountable? Stop giving them your attention (and youtube ad revenue) and they will have to make amends or do something else. Don't pretend t

I really respect the desire and the ability to do it all yourself. I expect that you'll see real gains over the cloud (up until a point) assuming that you're knowledgeable and your environment permits you to work quickly and indep

Don't worry, they've got a firewall so hot that no hackers can get close enough to hack it.

Not surprised at all. I worked with DialogFlow (building a Google Assistant app) for a major retailer. I had easy access to everything that anyone had ever said while interacting with our app; we saved it all in Elasticsearch.

"Frankly, I'm saddened that everyone seems to want to focus on the tool instead of the people once again. It's an infuriating tendency that more than anything I'd like to see stop." Me too. Not a big fan of though

Remember the last time you were supposed to fix a bug, but the code was so "bad" that you rewrote the entire application? IMO this is why churn is not going away. It's much easier to achieve flow-state from zero than working

Legal solutions don't tend to work great for technical problems. I will just continue to block and report spam for calls from all numbers which I did not myself enter into my contacts.

I guess... I'm sure they'd seen a keyboard, but likely never studied it. Lots of flip phones and people that used a computer once at the library. Seemed impossible in 2011.

I hope so! I've had so many software enhancements written off by product owners because the features were, "targeted at power users". It gets tiring explaining that while we might not have any power users before the app is re

Agreed. In the event that the land cannot be restored then you should be required to purchase a similarly sized piece of land and donate it to a preservation society. The destroyed land should also be donated. An eye for an eye doesn't

Good stalling tactic, but this really just inconveniences (i.e. makes mad) a bunch of extreme individuals who will undoubtably rally through other means almost immediately. We really need to start talking to people before they act and not s

I've found that at large companies, employees touted as having great soft skills often lack the ones that I consider key for productivity: communication, integrity, responsibility, and work ethic. Meanwhile, engineers possessing all of

I interned at IBM a decade ago. I was studying computer science in Tucson, AZ and was super excited to get picked up by such a well-known company. I never wrote a line of code for them. I decommissioned assets. That is, I scoured massive la

I think you've highlighted the one of the primary reasons that prohibition is harmful. If these substances were treated like medicine, studied, and understood then we would all be much safer. Perhaps there is an actual scientific means

This. We should be constantly striving for the minimal set of laws which produce the desired effects. After all, the more lines you write the more space there is to play in between them.

Don't ban things. Educate the population as to why they should ban themselves from doing things; and whenever possible, offer people better alternatives.

I agree... not only did the internet enable access to all the information, but it also provided the most convenient interface (removing the possibility of collecting a profit margin from the production of physical goods). I'm not sure

Why must we continue to insist on dumbing down our presentation of technology. Instead we must insist that users rise to the occasion. We are all inextricably linked to technology and yet I wonder if the newest users even know what a file e

I'm tired of the "harming our youth" angle. It's pointing out a needlessly specific example of our complete and systemic inability to control substances. Educate people the best you can as a society, use legislation to s
