We have gone a full circle from having cable with a bunch of separate overpriced packages which you buy for the sake of having access to one or two shows, to having the internet where you're signing up for equally as expensive packages

Oh man, so much this. When Photos just came out and Apple was making the claims about how they've taken everything good from Aperture and stuck it into Photos I was pretty optimistic considering how solid of an app Aperture became over

No-one is advocating for people to be full of shit. All that is being said is that mass censorship of "offensive" words/ideas is the stupidest, most counter-productive way to do it.

Not unpopular opinion at all. Reckon most here would agree. Used to be you could come here to at least slightly escape from all that shit and artificial outrage. Now I can barely tell the difference between HN and Vox.

That story just illustrates how insane things have gotten. Maajid goes "hey I'm a member of this group, I want to improve our culture/religion" and is labeled an extremist. Meanwhile others from this group are raping chi

I'm referring to it catching on in a political sense and becoming such a major part of the 2016 election cycle while neither the crying Jordan, the spongebob caveman, the sad ben Affleck and all else that was popular at that time didn&

And this is really at the root of the entire culture war. It used to be 'hey, that person said something stupid', lol ok what an idiot, anyway moving on to what we were doing' Now instead it's 'hey that person said

Exactly that. Right: Hey you guys just keep repeating the same thing. Left: You're a racist Left: You're a racist Left: You're a racist nazi Left: You're a nazi racist Left: You're dehumanising us you racist Right:

You're completely correct. Don't feed the trolls is exactly right. And yet every single time that the right throws out some more bait, no matter how silly, no matter how stupid, the left looses it's shit. Take this NPC thing

But with that said, what isn't 'far right' these days ... I'm just counting down the days until Bernie is called far right because he's not throwing bricks through Starbucks' windows.

Originally yes, that was the joke, people just repeating the same buzzwords and catch phrases in response to anything as game NPCs do. However as with all the memes over the last few days, it quickly turns from that into 'well those pe

2-3 double shot flat whites. Typically before 2pm - most of the time with MCT or Brain Octane oil and a bit of unsalted butter mixed into the milk while steaming it. Another 2-3 cups of black tea. No alcohol.

After having lived in metro Detroit for 16 years prior to moving in 2013, while a part of me thinks it's nice in a "better than nothing" sense, the more realistic part sees this as nothing more than a nice press release which

Exactly this. Unfortunately most developers I've met, look at their jobs as little more than churning out code to meet a spec that was handed down to them. Now if you're an early stage startup, you're putting together a team,

It depends a lot on the age of the kids of course, but as @jaakk said, play. It's hard to get kids to be interested in something if you're just sitting them down and trying to explain it to them. Get hands on. For the purpose o

You may be just making, but if you're making a good solution, does it in any way devalue it if you're not passionate about it?

Not at all. Worst case scenario even if it doesn't land you a data science job, doesn't mean that it won't greatly help in another job that you may be doing. The question you're asking is essentially "what's th

Spend a bit of money on some desk plants. My desk looks like a little rainforest. All the extra green keeps you happy, you get a bit of extra oxygen, and gives you something to take care of to distract you from staring at nothing but your

Came here to say exactly that. Not only is it proportional, but if anything is a sliver above average. The argument that TC is trying to make is on par with the people who advocate for workplace diversity and go on to say about how 50% of

I think the issue stems from how this is reported. Too much focus on race and gender and not enough focus on the real world. These articles focus 100% on the racial politics rather than on why a VC would invest in a company in the first pl
