The big thing it's helped me with (also learning) is that my learning style is, after reading a new concept or thinking I get it, imagining fringe/edge cases, and trying to understand the battery limits of the concept and how it f

How long did it take you to learn what you needed to learn, and how long to "ship" your "product"?

Even more than that, it's always mentioned by the scientists, advocates, and journalists ad-nauseam too.

There is one, it's called Hallo. I have it and don't have a single friend on it yet which is a shame. There's a few more "healthy rules" like no influencers, no more than 100 friends, etc. I believe Path tried to do

To add to the replies, the funny part is that they made two entire, much bigger sequels/expansions based on the same engine (and very similar mechanics/assets). So not only did this make it into the final release, but was rolled f

I guess the coutnerpoint is that SMS was invented in, what, the mid 90s? And MMS invented in the mid 00s (?) when things like group chats or sending a video (!) over a phone (at least > 500KB) were inconceivable. We are long overdue for

Tesla doesn't do that, you're misunderstanding. You can do a hart reboot on the computer by yourself, by holding down both steering will scroll wheels for 10 seconds. Fixes any glitches with the screen.

The elderly example is actually an extremely good/thought provoking idea. I can imagine my Grandparents getting huge use out of this, including with smart home functionality, if it got to where it needs to get to.

Get your weekly mileage up. If you are running 4+ times a week, and making your standard run 8 or 10ks if possible (or at least doing it more often), you will fly past 35 mins for a 5k without even trying in only a few weeks. Where is your

Agreeing with others - consider getting actually good shoes designed for road running. Not your trainers you've had for 8 years and love or a pair you like the look of because they're small and streamlined. ASICS Gel Kayanos are p

Correct me if I'm wrong but Telegram never allowed sign up without username? I've had it for a long long time and it was always centred around phone numbers. I could be wrong.

This isn't silly at all. I have this exact problem with Telegram. I'd like to use it as a "serious" messenger where people can contact me using my username, but there's plenty of communities I'd rather not post

We will get to a point where it becomes unethical to let humans drive cars (outside hobbyist places). A Sam Harris says, "the ape behind the wheel" just causes issues.

You've got a lot of answers already but ... wow... Allow me to say first of all that I agree we should have denser cities/towns, better public transport to get around, and we should all use it more. But some stats (no citation, th

Very interesting, I didn't know many people got > 100mpbs without paying for the infra. I am going off the fact that (as you may have seen in the news) a lot of ISPs got in trouble for advertising and selling 100mbps when a huge amo

This seems an incredible technical accomplishment. My one question is, is it supposed to be solving for disk space constraints or connection speed constraints? I'm guessing both, but the former is pretty cheaply solved these days with

I assume the parent comment is making the opposite point? I'm in Australia and I can get 90-100mbps which is very fast in this country - I'd say the average house gets 50-60mbps (guessing, haven't looked it up).

Is this new? I specifically went for Kobo years ago because my research told me that Kindle didn't have that capability, and Kobo did. Perhaps I didn't look hard enough.

Another interesting link is that between mental health issues (schizophrenia, bipolar) and "elite" creativity and the risk of losing the latter if we can ever gene edit the former out of our genome. Siddhartha Mukherjee talks abou

I reckon I remember having a game on 360 that had a "bad" achievement to get. It was 0 gamerscore and its purpose was to forever stain your profile as having done something (like say die 10 times in a row). I can't remember t

I also just plain old like it... It makes sense to me. I never got hugely into achievements but I liked the Gamerscore on the 360, it was a good proxy for how much you had achieved overall on the console, and how far towards 1000 you got on

The problem for me is how rarely you'd use it. I could see myself buying this, and using it forever, but only a few times a year. Monthly pricing for quarterly or semi-annual check ins doesn't feel like the right trade off. (I say
