This is one of the poorest executions of an experiment I've ever read about. Read the post and the author obviously has no idea about methodology and then goes on to claim very precise results in his headline.

9/10 I think you can somewhat tell by the visual flourishes that a real artist will add to their painting that a computer will not. Also the computer ones while not completely obvious I could tell were generated from a real picture wit

Yeah honestly it's amazing. I've ordered some stuff from there and at that cost I can't believe it makes it to me. Though the post office does require a signature on a lot of these and then holds it hostage and it's not

Throughout this whole article all I could think of is how was Erle Stanley Gardner writing in a magazine that ran from 1882 to 1891. when he was born in 1889. He was a very advanced toddler I suppose.

Pretty much. Would you work as hard or take as much of a paycut if you got virtual lottery tickets instead (lottery tickets that even if you win may not pay out since VCs have a higher priority stake in them)

Anyone sophisticated enough to understand this method would be very unlikely to play the lotto anyway.

True but those who worked with those systems still have relevant mobile knowledge. Optimizing for various screen resolutions, working with many implementations by OEM providers that have slight differences (Android), etc.

I'm very interested but will wait until the reviews are out and to see what their long term business model is. Video game consoles don't really make that much money but rather the software does so I want to know what their plans a

If you actually research it at all they're very clear that they track users time spent in each app as that is how they pay developers.

Self reinforcing startup feedback loop is my guess. Also I suppose with the rise of social media being more accessible through search there's less importance on having your own domain to create authority. At least medium has got past t

Head off to work. Work 3 hours on bus in. Eat lunch have standup. Head off to home and work 3 hours. If you want an 8 hour day. My bet is that's frowned upon.
