Out of curiosity, is logging newborn activities a common thing? Do most parents do this? What is the value in knowing the counts and times of your newborn's routine? Is there a good use case for historical data or trends?

How does this ruin the scam? Couldn't the scammers just put other enticing page links that link to the end of the book and have the same effect? Is there something I'm missing here?

Do you have a recommended starting source for this practice? A book or reading that outlines the ideology and practices?

I'm glad someone else realized this too. The author didn't try to tailor the message to the medium and as a result his control is the medium that the message is best targeted towards. Not a great control if you ask me. I think tai

I'm going to second this and say that besides micro-transactions and apps, pricing at $1 is essentially signaling to the user that the product is near worthless. Its hard to imagine a product I would actively go out of the way to pay f

Can you elaborate on the issues that exposing bindings instead of values fixes or point me to an article that explains this? I'm not too familiar with the ES6 import system and I am curious, as I have used Python's extensively and

I've read The Inner Game of Tennis as well and I agree its helped me with an improvement mindset with video games. However I haven't seen much academic research around these topics and I'm curious if its out there.

Has there been any research of these techniques applied to video games? It would be interesting to know if there is a measurable benefit to say staring at the opposing character in a fighting game instead of the neutral space. Likewise for

Could you go into more detail about how you actually learned to study and what your technique is now for studying? I'm always curious how other people go about learning things, specifically about how they test mastery of knowledge.

I think US Presidential debates are actually trending towards streaming. As I remember the last presidential debate in 2012 was on YouTube streaming and CNN recently streamed their Republican Primary debates to anyone in the US. I hope othe

How does UNSW compare to say MIT? The pace of this course looks fairly relentless.

The HBO GO apps for things like Roku are also laughably bad. One of the best examples of truly not caring about UX is their default sorting of episodes. All shows sort episodes by most-recent air date, including shows that have fully aired,

This is true to the point where you can barely believe services release the products they do. The experience on Popcorn Time vs HBO GO isn't even comparable. HBO GO serves their content through a laggy flash player that you can't

4 months seems a bit short for this continuous cycle. I go to Northeastern University and they do 6 month cycles of work/school. They also start off with a year and a half to two years of classes on a traditional schedule when you firs

This doesn't mention a time estimate anywhere. As an interview candidate it might be nice to have an idea of how much time I'm committing to with this project. Even if it is a wide range.

I don't think the matter at hand here is using privacy as a shield, but rather having the ability to voice dissenting opinions because of privacy. Privacy is a means of preventing oppression/coercion against those holding dissenti

In my experience, the best thing you can do to keep yourself safe is use private trackers. With these you're extremely unlikely to get a DMCA request/ISP notice. You also get higher quality torrents that are uploaded in a more tim

The ASUS Zenbook line is probably the closest thing to Apple hardware you can get on the windows side of things. They have fairly powerful ultrabooks with similar style/form factor to Macs that you can get with SSDs and dedicated graph

This is a good point and largely the reason I vote. Many local initiatives have low enough turnout that you can actually make an impact. In a decent number of cases they also don't split directly along party lines, so your vote can mat

I would imagine the relation to the rest of the codebase is how/why it interacts with the rest of the code. This is often valuable to know as its rare you are using just a single piece of a codebase in isolation, and relations among pi

Its disingenuous to say that Dropbox has a file size limit of 10GB, when the first thing written on that page you cited says otherwise... The 10GB limit only applies to files uploaded through the web interface. Files uploaded through th
