Then why aren't you teaching? Go spend a few years teaching in a public high school and report back.

I've lived in Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Colorado and I've seen and lived in plenty of places with basements.

You still have to spend time adding content. I enjoy doing that, but not everyone has the time.

I wonder if it all gets lost in HR who looks at their hiring listing and sees there is no opening and disregards it.

When you say art is a way to give life meaning, in what way do you mean that? I ask, because for me, art, as ambiguous of a term as that is, has been a means to give me meaning in the moment. It later acts as a memento of those moments. A s

Not for numbers. 零一二三四五六七八九十百千萬億 is all you need to get into the billions. It's not as practical for computation, though.

As a former CS teacher the real barrier is finding qualified teachers. Most schools, even international schools which pay significantly better, seem to have math or science teachers with little or no coding experience filling the role.

You mean it sounds autotuned?

It's funny you mention vertical videos. I'm currently working on a toy project using MobileNet which classifies YouTube thumbnails as clickbait or not, as per my preferences, and I classify every vertical video as such. It needs m

I normally agree, but there are times when I want a short video. For example, my wife makes crochet and knitting videos. She has series which are 30-60s long and cover one technique. The opposite are people who want to waste your time with

This seems oddly similar to the arguments made by fraking companies when asked about polluting water tables and such.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. "Let's destroy the environment to make tech to save the environment," does not sound like a great idea to me.

He's saying it rains and the car gets clean. I only needed to rinse my car off once a year, max, and did that with a garden hose. It was fine otherwise. Car washes are a waste.

> In Europe, density is not a choice, they have to live on top of each other. That is not true at all.

If the US built public transport and changed zoning laws it'd get density.

> The overall form was: “I read a memoir about polyamory, everyone involved seemed awful and unhappy, and now I hate polyamorous people.” This is a common pattern. Is it? I read that article, and it seems a lot more nuanced than hating o

Do many people, when older, get upset about the lies their parents told them about Santa, The Easter Bunny and such? I'm skeptical these sorts of childhood lies cause any issues.

I'd say that applies across the board. For most, that kid is more important than anything else.

While I can understand the irritation, the tone of your response seems excessive for someone talking about food.

In the US it's common to see police out in areas like that. I looked it up and it seems NYC and Tokyo have the same number of cops.

by makeitshine 3y ago
I have hardly ever seen police patrolling. Traffic cops at intersections, but beat cops or cops at malls, train stations, etc.. seem rare.
52.
by makeitshine 3y ago
Not necessarily. There are places where crime is low and so is police presence, like Taipei or Tokyo. It's part of culture which is actually adhered to by most.

On what platform? Every single social media app I use has some form of partial matching in the search boxes.
54.
by makeitshine 3y ago
Standard in what way? It can't even do partial matches or words with close spelling. It's pretty much exact whole words only or nothing.

Discord search is horrendous. The chat and threads are nice, but finding previous messages can be difficult. I feel like there's a opportunity here for someone to make a similar platform with far better search.

These are differently structured and run than unions outside of China. There's little recourse for protest and negotiation through them.

It can be tiered, where more training allows you to do more. On the lower end you have unarmed police giving parking tickets or having to be accompanied by a more highly trained cop who is performing less critical roles. More training is mo

Not really, I'm saying the religion and it's outputs are an indicator of the sort of people it contains. An aggregation, a heuristic, or whatever you want to call it. I can't judge every single person in Christianity individu

America was created, is composed of, and run by people. Religions are as well. Looking at the products of the system people take part in is a measure of the underlying people who run it. It's the same as people looking at financial rep
