Your argument seems to boil down to "ban all ideas the left does not agree with" to me. Tolerance in your definition confuses me. It seems like you try to make it appear like it means tolerating other's speech (with the &quot

Just because not everyone is granted the right in America does not make America worse than other countries. The OP is contending that the US, despite an imperfect record on free speech, is still better at it than anywhere else. Aaron Swartz

That's the point though. Instagram is fundamentally about following, Snapchat is fundamentally about talking to friends. Both let you escape that bubble obviously, but the two remain distinct. If you were using Snapchat mainly as a way

Yeah, the HN narrative comes from the perspective of people who either don't use the app or have only used it lightly (both of which probably mean they aren't in SNAP's target audience). Showing a venn diagram of features wit

People regularly send ~20 snaps in a minute. I highly doubt anyone uses Instagram to post/send something that often.

Everyone you know at what age? Teenagers continue to use the two products for very distinct uses. Snapchat still has a ton of features (groupchats, geofences, geofilters (+ custom user-made ones), etc.) and is probably the #1 messaging app

Maybe, but not everyone here agrees with that statement obviously.

I see your point, but the fact that he has the degree means he studied biology for many years of his life and contributed his own interesting ideas to the field. I think Harvard is the less important part here, although it is "well-res

I don't think that's what he means. I think he is saying they are qualified, but many qualified people have also been excluded based on gender or race (i.e. the "false negatives" that gets repeatedly left out). For all h

No. That is a strawman of their argument. They are saying that freedom of speech means freedom from consequences for your speech. I don't really agree with their argument, but what they are saying is more nuanced than the way you'

How many people died directly due to Martin's actions? I'm very skeptical of your claim and found nothing to back it up after a quick Google search. The first result was a Quora answer that even said that his moves resulted in no

The whole point of Snapchat is that it's not about sitting down, taking a high quality photo, editing it, etc. It's a messaging app meant for quick replies. You send someone something and they reply back. That's fundamentally

True, I think that people were just over-reacting to what they saw as spam and downvoted all of it.

Barely related, but what's with the whole "Creators Update"/"Fall Creators Update" thing? It's not "Creator's Update," so I guess it's supposed to be targetting "Content Creators,&

Downvoting doesn't mean your post was bad. It just means that it shouldn't be at the top of the thread because it's irrelevant. I downvoted the top post because when opening this thread, I should see actual discussion about

Can't wait till someone hacks Kite and exposes some major company's source code. Will be very interesting to watch the legal response to that.

How do you know how much money she has? What is her net worth? She's way below someone like Bill Gates (who could count $150M as disposable at .17% of his net worth), and (unless she's doing some impressive money laundering) is no

Yep. The whole machine learning craze is just fueled by the fact that it's now feasible to create models for handwriting/voice/image recognition that actually work reliably. But in terms of the underlying technology, we haven

Yeah, I get that those are useful, but things like type providers or units of measure feel pretty useless to me and I'm not really sure if they're supposed to make me want to switch to F# or not. They certainly don't fill the

F#'s features don't feel that useful after working in OCaml though. I've tried it for various projects, but OCaml is honestly just as good in all those situations. I wonder if there's some specific type of project where

How is always-on useful for Bluetooth? In fact, it's a huge vulnerability if that's the case. On Android I simply turn it on to connect to something and off to disconnect.

Well, Ruby objects are basically big hash tables in a way. Makes sense to use a prehashed string to index them (if I understand how symbols work correctly).
