Do you think it would have been any different if pg was in charge? I don't. I think it's rather that the 'low hanging fruit' are all gone. The whole mood has changed. It's become harder. Notice for example that YC p

I too would love the answer to that question. The JSTOR archive that Aaron Swartz wanted released was 35GB. I would imagine SciHub's archive is probably much bigger, maybe a TB+? Also, I wonder if supplementary figures/videos&#x2F

I'm above 30 and oh man, I am wasting my life on Reddit/Youtube. It depends what you're into. Are you into music? Youtube has all the music (you type "youtube<TAB>daft punk<ENTER>" and you're there.

Tkinter, it comes packed with python and is actually really good and really fast. In fact, when I tried variations of Qt for py, I just quit out of frustration with how things either didn’t work or didn’t work very fast, now I just stick wi

Holy shit that’s a good idea, we should just fucking do it ourselves . This reminds me when I was living in the Midwest and there was this one spot where I had to do a u turn in my commute which was very dangerous because of some tree bran

Tesla cars don’t have LIDAR, Google’s waymo does. You’ll generally be able to tell if the car has lidar because you can’t quite miss it, it’ll be that big dome-like object on the car.

While I'm sympathetic to your viewpoint and to a large degree share it, you are among a vanishingly small minority to not use a site or service just because of social login. 'jfaucett probably is fine sacrificing losing this small

Good observation. And I gotta say, while I once scoffed at the idea of robots helping out at home and giving some sense of company, it seems that such things actually might help in this case. My colleague was recently in a car accident and

at least the transaction involves the yatchmaker... who, while rich, wasn’t as ridiculously rich, and in the end the transaction came down to the pockets of people who live around the yatchmaker a little bit. Not perfect but it’s something.

Do you ever find yourself using that word in real life too? You're the first person I've seen to use it non-ironically. I will use it from now on, I quite like it.

Perhaps the real problem is GUI framework fragmentation or confusing docs, because I ship GUI applications with tkinter and pyinstaller without great issues (pyinstaller -m hehe.py and you’re done! Single file exe you have).

Not to mention, it’s a Pete Seeger song, the byrds just covered it. I may be wrong but I think Seeger wrote it for Judy Collins to sing. Edit: ok nope, Seeger didn’t “write” it for Collins, she’s just another one to cover it. Here they are

Wow I did not know that. I must confess that I have been only superficially involved with BTC, but I've gotta say, what you've just said: Bitcoin transaction fees have skyrocketed. They are around $50 per transaction now.

Pardon my ignorance, but where's the "bite" of posting this now? Is it so that transferring bitcoin now costs more than $0.01? And the amount being transferred is subject to some consideration? (if so, by whom? and in what wa

Do you restrict usage per time? Like, no more than 1 hour a day? Do you find that she wants to use the phone ALL the time? Does she take it to school? (one more question: are you the guy who sends his kiddo to montessori school?)
