I've always found the "what is art?" question to be pretty hilarious. It doesn't matter if the medium is a picture, a book, a movie, or a game. Great media has a thesis and does a great job of convincing the recipient th

Richard Feynman has by far the best explanations I have ever seen from anyone in my life. His explanations are fascinating and deceptively simple. His explanation of electricity in this video has fundamentally changed the way that I see the

I'm not talking about people who "rant against school". I also hope that you realize that my post was not a "rant against school", but a rant against taking away millions of people's right to vote just because

You've addressed none of the points that I made. You claimed that school is the only way to learn how to think critically and should be used to take away the suffrage of millions of people. In response to me calling you out on this ver

Well in most highschools and universities children/people sit for hours at a time behind desks while someone talks. Did you stand for your lectures? Did you not have lectures? Is 6 hours a day not an extended period of time?

>Either that, or you don't get to vote. What? Graduating from school (highschool or university) is about learning how to follow directions and play the game. To say that a degree somehow guarantees that a person knows how to think c

So all of those people with psychology and business degrees are going into jobs that require "degree deserving knowledge"? If you're going to say something special about a particular field, at least compare it to something el

That article makes me think that it's possible that Theranos is more concerned with their government contract work than this "blood test for the common man" spiel.

While it does sound like she's trying to sound like a man, I'm not sure if it's forced. Even if it's not her real voice, it's natural to have a different voice when speaking as a CEO in an interview (it may only be

To expand on this, I think you can eliminate a significant amount of this fraud by properly configuring your ad campaigns (or whatever facebook calls them) and using "tricks of the trade". The companies that spend the most on face

I disagree with your opinion on the CEO. Intelligent? clearly, but also weird to the point that it's uncomfortable to watch her speak, and she's clearly very bad at handling the press.

Completely agree. But whoever makes it, they should make it free and open source and designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Additionally, it should be easy to learn and have a tiny footpr

I really don't know what issues the author is referring to. I have used IdeaVim for PyCharm and was very satisfied with it. It has its own vimrc file which allows you to not only copy paste your existing bindings, but also keeps them s

"Flip a fucking coin." is exactly what I was going to say. Clearly the decision is influenced way too heavily by each of your pasts rather than on the merit of the technology (either will do exactly what you need it to do). So jus

Aren't type annotations in python just documentation that's designed to look like it's not? Seems like it would make more sense to just create a documentation standard than develop a brand new syntax for documentation. Anothe

I'm fascinated by the expressiveness of the mouse in this demo. I've seen the mouse as a lost cause ever since committing to vim some time ago, but this video proves that I am wrong, very wrong. It's clear that the expressive

Title is misleading. Google didn't pay up front to keep the search bar, but rather agreed to share a percentage of the revenue generated, which ended up being $1B.

$1 says it's some null value. This is a good premise to an "off-by-one" parable where it turns out the neighbors are phone thieves.
