But then why do star ratings, why not directly ask "Does this person deserve to continue working yes/no?" It's not like I get to pick Uber drivers based on their ratings.

That raises an interesting question. What ARE the Hanoi Rat problems of the internet?

I think it's also review shyness. My wife yelled at me once (like real, oh shit I'm in trouble, yell) for leaving a 1 star review for an Uber driver who sped the whole way and ran a red light.

I used to read the encyclopedia when I was little, before I had the internet. Was I fractionally connected to the internet, as opposed to 100% unfettered Wikipedia access?

It seemed like a near-mystical piece of technology when I encountered it as a kid watching The History Channel. Tech-minded people probably self-select here anyway...

This might be the first Oracle product I use. That means down the line I might have an informed opinion to share in business decisions where Oracle provides a solution. Pretty smart.

To clarify, from my understanding, in a libertarian society, individuals and groups would be able to hire armed mercenary groups a la private security forces, but with presumably less regulation. That's what I mean by "monopoly on

1500 pages to govern 330 million people. Was there ever a time in history when an individual understood all the laws of a country? The fact that the provision you mentioned was discovered is an argument FOR this system. The fourth and fifth

So like, if you don't deliver those shipping containers of hot sauce, I just click the "I was scammed" checkbox on my smart contract dashboard? Where exactly does the leverage of smart contracts come into play? The biggest re

Medical use notwithstanding, people who use cannabis on a daily basis will probably tend to produce and pursue bad ideas. I've been there when I was younger. That state of mind is like turning the temperature up on the generative funct

Who in tech do you hold up as an ideal persona? I'm not defending what happened to you. It's surprising to me that even someone like Jimmy Wales, who pioneered the most impactful knowledge-sharing project in the world, is vilified

I honestly probably would not have clicked if the retailer mentioned was Costco or Walmart. I assumed Amazon implemented some unique mind-blowing tech solution to the problem.

The examples show them realistically editing almost any feature of a face, cat, car, painting... Human, animal, object, art. What would be a better example or usecase?

What sorts of things do you have in mind? I've used the app Magic, which is sort of like an on-demand personal assistant. They're real people, but I'm imagining the sorts of requests I made being done by an AI. "Get me a

I had this idea but for YouTube playlists. I haven't gotten to it but it might be trivial to implement: noun extraction, salience sorting, then doing some searches on extracted n-grams and populating a playlist with videos that occur t

Oh wow I had never thought of this. My favorite method was to duplicate a daily task list in Evernote every morning, and resetting all the inputs. I'm going to automate that process now. You might have just solved the storage model par

There's also the issue that solutions to "unacknowledged problems" can be perceived as grifts. "Your app predicts when my lightbulbs will go out and it costs $1? Wait, why wouldn't I just do what I do now which is h

Airbnb's customer experience team used Hipmunk as a fallback for a long time. The last resort before just hanging up and promising a check was HotelTonight, until Airbnb acquired that. How did Hipmunk mess it up so bad? It was seriousl

I guess the clunky efforts people go to here to give the appearance of being neutral and objective console me. Maybe people with different beliefs really can communicate in a dignified way...

The far right. I'm on the opposite end and I still find it easier to conjure their talking points better than the ones I subscribe to. The right has more uniformity in terms of messaging. They seem to be able to more succinctly distill
