As they exist today: free access to computers and internet. Information is only literally free and instant if you have access to the internet, which isn't gauranteed especially for low income people.

Where is this ridiculous idea that you need to have free will to make choices coming from? Free will is incompatible with the concept of choice, because all choices are bound by physical constraints. How do you make a choice without any con

Even on cash I rarely put the real purpose in the memo field... Coming from cash, and finding that the world has apparently settled on venmo, has me supremely disappointed. What the hell were they thinking? Payments is not a social network.

It's super frustrating. I used to enjoy watching legitimate documentaries - often featuring real-life witnesses of events from WW2, the great depression, various disasters, etc. I suppose that was many years ago now, but I still miss t

Check out Windows subsystem for Linux - you can almost certainly skip cygwin entirely and run the same binaries you like from Ubuntu.

I keep coming back to this. How many lives could have been saved it improved with the expense we put into saving 12 people who went caving in monsoon season? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad society found a way to save them, I just wi

This is 'Xbox One is online-only #DealWithIt' level sentiment. Fuck the consumer, right? I really hope the market punishes you for this sentiment. And P.S. Apple is strong because of the iPod and iPhone - macOS is a tiny part of t

That would be a dream. So many are still on 720p or lower, especially in schools etc.

This is a big success. We need more scientists willing to publish dead ends and ideas that turn out to be wrong. At the very least it hints at future areas of research. A lot of great science involves testing common sense and finding it&#x2

If anyone from Spotify is reading this: I love you, but please please please stop autoplaying videos in my playlists. 1) it makes playback stop when I'm driving. It's hard to get it to start again. If the screen is off, please jus

This also happened this year - guy drive past a checkpoint, the NSA didn't put up with it.

Clearly it's exaggerated bullshit. People put themselves through hell all the time; I'd be dead if you could 'never repay the sleep debt'. They should focus on how miserable sleep deprived people become - that's a r

Don't blame it on the kids - blame it on the schools and the culture. Kids don't change, but schools and culture can. Look at other parts of the world (and particularly progressive places in the US) for evidence of this.

This is fucked. You should never have to wait for a 911 call to be answered. Our society needs to do better. Can you share any insight into how things got so bad? What failure of politics or market forces led to this situation? What needs t

Very interesting. I'm affected by high blood pressure so I monitor it pretty closely. If I need to get my blood pressure down, there are three levers that consistently work: ° reducing sodium - note: I really like salty things, so it&#

Every Mac I've every seen can message with a huge power brick, often integrated directly into the plug. I can't plug my MacBook in under my desk because it's one two-pronged and it's super heavy so it falls down. I don&#

You're in a bubble. I quit Facebook on principle but I'm suffering for it. I'm trying to meet new people, strengthen friendships, get out more, etc. Literally everyone I know except for one person does eventing and communicat

Hope significant are the differences between cocoa and uikit? I don't have any experience besides some light source browsing and it seemed the big difference is the NS to UI prefix change. Anyone care to summarize for the unenlightened

Take a look at their other keynote(s) yesterday. Much more impressive demos for developing consumer and Enterprise experiences. Today's keynote was about the windows and office platform specifically.

This is a fabulous idea - and with the review process requires, I don't see this being unreasonable. Developers will hate it, but I think Apple can take the hit. Google, too, but their review process is something of a joke.

I assume you are writing in an attempt to persuade. Your message is being lost/ignored as a result of your delivery. We want to understand your message, but you aren't giving enough background. I don't trust your message beca

This seemed interesting. For anyone else who was wondering, the separate girls and boys math circles was due to circumstance not an idea that girls shouldn't learn math with boys or in the same environment. This is addressed in the fir

It's juicy gossip about RMS with sprinklings of information about how the glibc org works and how that fits into the bigger open source picture. Some people are into gossip and accept it, other people are into gossip and deny it. I&#x2

I had the same issue. It was a result of the privacy settings being turned up (I think there's a built-in block list). Edit: dug a little more, it's probably unrelated to your issue, but worth a check.

Yeah I feel this. 24ish and I never really experienced the 'so easy to make friends in high school and college'. I guess not so much that it wasn't easy, I just wasn't in a place where I wanted more than one or two close

It was becoming plain a few years ago (by 2015 at the latest) that Apple didn't have the aptitude to compete in big Data or machine learning. It was very clever of them to bet on privacy - the one strategy that has little need for big

Probably pretty hard, unfortunately. The course teaches cartographic principles, but it does so using ArcGIS pro. You could try doing the activity in Pro and QGIS in parallel; that way you'd learn both. That being said, I'm a very

For those who want to take a deep dive and learn about cartography, Esri has a fantastic, free MOOC running at the moment and it's not too late to register. It uses ArcGIS Pro ($$$) but you get a free license for the duration of the co

You could be on to something. There are quite a lot of Java sessions scheduled for Microsoft's Build conference this year. Certainly Eclipse has left them plenty of room to swoop in, perhaps as the alternative to IntelliJ.
