I think you are misreading the situation. Rather than a weak move, this is a small step in a long march. They are killing Elsevier but slowly enough to avoid disruption.

Grew up with an outdoor cat in a suburb with backyard. Would let her in when she wanted and out when she wanted. She would occasionally follow us on a walk without any invitation or leash. We were a little surprised "Do cats do that?&q

There are a lot of sources for error here. 1. You may pay more attention to ads you wouldn't have noticed. 2. Something prompted you to say what you said and Facebook may be aware of that cause. 3. Your behavior may change as a result

Nit: You should implement quadratic probing with triangular numbers by addition for a slight speedup. I.e. x+= i, rather than x = ... × ...

Organized crime is a huge problem. Like just take Mexico. Really poor and that's because of organized crime. If they were richer they could probably save a lot of lives. I think that's a bigger factor than the number of people sho

What I don't like about infinite scroll is it not putting stuff in my history. Finding my way back a few days later ain't happening. Overall though I think the pattern makes sense

I always thought dandelion seeds were so open to reduce weight while still catching a decent amount of the wind in its cross section, approximating the flight of a dust particle. Makes me wonder how much more of the wind a dandelion seed ca

I find gmail's undo send works wonders for me. 30s is usually enough for me to go from "hell yeah, that'll show em" to "fuck fuck fuck, what did I just do"

We should focus on scenarios where we can move the needle. The consequence of this: When things look great we should be paranoid, and when things look bad we should be hopeful.

I think the answer to that is no and the reason involves entropy. Of all the possible universes most have very low probability, so when we "create" a bunch of parallel universes for our computer, those universes could already be e

If we can form arbitrary size superposition we can put the universe in superposition - many worlds. If we cannot - limit to how big quantum computers we can build.

Imo the creepy thing is that phones are now powerful enough to run always on analysis, not that they are currently doing anything malicious with it.

Makes sense to think of it as a general purpose processor when speed is growing quickly enough compared to gains of using a specialized design that using one device for everything is the most economical. Now that that has come to an end the
