I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss his entire act because of what he did. Watch his latest special to see his perspective. He’s not exactly Bill Cosby.

The only software that has the potential to delight the user are games or gamified software (likes, follows, etc). Everything else is out-of-mind at best.

I think it’s inevitable. If the software naively measures keystrokes or idle time, there are obvious ways to trick it. Unfortunately less technologically adept employees might not be able to circumvent it

I sort of like the peopleware description of technology "anything that didn't exist when you were a kid is technology" In that sense movie theater subscriptions counts as technology. Is moviepass still dumb? Yes.

He’s always looked a bit strange like that, I don’t think it’s a recent change.

No argument from me about that. It’s why I know I can’t play any game with a social element (MMOs). Min max type is just so, so fun for me. Same thing happened with Darkest Dungeon.

Idle time is nice if the alternative is heavy lifting or dealing with rude customers

I would recommend not getting the game if you have a highly addictive personality when it comes to games. I spent hundreds of hours on slay the spire and it affected my last relationship. Amazing game though.

Is it possible that such an event would benefit people who keep their btc off exchanges significantly?

I think it has to do with making money. People on cheap android phones may be less likely to buy your product, so it might not make sense to prioritize their needs.

I imagine these algorithm writing tools (GPT, etc) are going to be adopted by writers the same way autotune has been embraced by the music industry. When used in moderation it can help give originality to the final work. When overused it wi

If you all still live in the same area would it be impossible to organize a little offsite at a bar or restaurant?

As someone who’s made and used a few dapps that “worked” and made a (small) profit, I would recommend passing on this article.

Social distancing works then? Seriously, I don’t think anyone doubted that heart disease/car accidents/opioids are more life threatening than covid. It’s just the devil we don’t know.

Why would anyone download a calculator in the first place? Doesn’t the phone already have one?

The easiest way would be to filter or simply rank by metrics of the user’s profile, for example likes, followers, hashtags, number of videos, etc.

Factoring in the delivery time, local will almost always be faster. Since I live in a city I’ll usually just stop by the relevant store next time I’m near it to grab the thing. But if you’re in a suburb and/or spend most of your time i

I think I’m the only person who considers online shopping less convenient than just going to a local store and buying it. In person you just walk or drive over to the store, select the item, pay, and go home with the correct product. Onlin

Finally some good news for CA natives. It sucks not being able to afford to live where you grew up. Maybe this will ease the housing market a bit?

How is that not a viable business model? Who says every social network has to be for everybody?

I see the lack of an Android app as a feature. People who really want to use it will just get a cheap iPhone, I gave Android using friend my old iPhone 7. Most of the fun is the mix of exclusivity while still being able to chat with B-tier

Have you considered looking into better insulating your home or alternative ways of staying warm than blasting the heat? I wear a sweater, socks, and sweats while I’m working from home. I guess this is heavily dependent where you live, thou

I’m confused. At what point did they convert it from crypto to USD?

That happened on Ethereum with a game called exit.scam where the last person who buys a token wins, but every time someone buys one the timer resets. In order to win the game a bunch of miners colluded to make it impossible to get a transac

This implies that the energy required to store wealth in centralized databases is easily calculable. It also implies that the goal of storing wealth is optimizing for low energy usage, which seems less important than security/safety, e

Programming was the first “hard” class I took in high school.I did miserably in it, barely scraped by with a C. Despite having a ton of interest in it and a desire to learn, it was just so hard to get started. I decided it wasn’t for me and

That’s good to know, maybe I should check out some of the less popular rooms. Similarly, it would be unfair to judge all of Reddit based on their default subreddits.
