I believe everything you need to know about who would be responsible for this kind of "mistake" is right here from the article: > Our own internal tool worked well (I would like to say it was all due to me, which would be an ar

Knives have been used to murder people. They are absolutely harmful. Your grossly reductionist argument doesn't really add much to the discussion.

Your comment is all over the place with assumptions that are odd / incorrect and easily corrected by reading the article. First of all they went from 1200 -> 1800, not 1500 -> 2100. Second, just because you are given a prelimina

Great. What did any of this have to do with the article? Did you just read the title and get fired up?

Very cool result, and yet not one simple example of a chessboard with 8 queens in the discussed configuration. Boggles the mind.

This app is the infomercial equivalent of the latest gadget that promises to give you 6-pack abs in 60 days. In the same way that building muscle requires actual work and dedication, so does meaningful connections with your friends.

To save someone else some time: this articles deals absolutely nothing with its own title, and instead jumps around between famous examples of betting big and losing / winning big.

In that case let's get rid of the term 'digital' then, since analogue must clearly and fully describe all the phenomenon.

So what you're saying is all study designs are acceptable. All study results should be trusted. We should trust studies that can't be replicated, because "something about translating London into Paris". What you're

The OP said nothing about standing on the sidelines -- just that their views don't neatly fit one way or another. However, if I witness a game where two teams are repeatedly smashing into each other at midfield, causing harm to themsel

The "us" is clearly the people inside the system you're referring to (left / right). And for people outside the system, the "us" is often both the left and right interchangeably.

What percentage of these people do you think do this and then DON'T post an image / video of it somewhere to get views? I would guess it rounds down to 0%. It's pure attention seeking. And it also might be fun.

Asking people associated with Silicon Valley about Nigerian problems is probably about as effective as asking automotive racers about daily bike commuter problems. My suggestion would be to talk to some Nigerians. Understand the people and

It's almost like they want to make sure it works for the vast majority of people before they spend time and effort making it work for a much smaller segment of their userbase.

They were ubiquitous because your unwitting grandparents wanted into install some simple application and weren't savvy enough to read and uncheck all of the boxes that installed the new Ask Jeeves toolbar.

It's likely this person came across this during their research, but decided to omit it because it didn't fit in with their already weak and speculative narrative.

I find it infuriating that your perfectly reasonable question/comment is so heavily downvoted, and yet it's followed up my many thoughtful and interesting responses. Boggles the mind.

I promise you that the reason I drive my car everyday has nothing to do with propaganda from the oil companies in any meaningful way. I'm 100% certain they covered up the truth, but I have no reason to believe that had everyone known t

I see more and more of these types of comments that just go so far out there as to be absurd, and I'm glad they're downvoted. You have a long way to go to prove that this vague, evil entity called an "oil company" has a

An absolute slog to read, but interesting vulnerability nonetheless.

Using total number of mentions as a way to predict future tech trends seems dubious at best. I understand coming up with a better metric would be difficult, but this one seems useless. For example, with this metric, how can we tell the diff

This looks like a dystopian future wrapped in slick packaging. As I understand it, this service involves voluntarily putting myself in front of a security camera, and then being forced to interact with people irrelevant to my task on a regu

Sounds like the game isn't made for you then. This would be like attempting to play Go, and complaining that it's nothing like Chess because the optimal move generally isn't obvious even after 10,000 hours of play. And then l

Somehow you took their response to mean "the rational thing to do is avoid all bushes, forever, no matter the consequences". The OP merely stated you should adjust your behavior to the 1% chance. That would include weighing it aga
