I'm guessing it was on his own as there's not many any courses on emotions worth a damn. That said, coursera did an amazing course on emotions recently by an Italian AI researcher, Jordi Vallverdú. I think it's been taken o

No offence, but you really should avoid "diagnosing" people on the internet. It's incredibly stupid and disrespectful at best, and can lead to actual harm at worst. That goes for anyone who isn't a trained professional.

You need to make an app that re-names shitty click bait headlines in such way!

Yeah that makes sense!

Obvious question, but which one of you here actually uses facebook groups and what for? I'm sure I'm a member of a whole bunch, but aside from using them to coordinate society activities back at uni, I haven't really used the

Your last sentence is interesting. Can you elaborate on what you mean by "speaking the right language"?

Yeah, good idea! My e-mail is zans.lancs at gmail dot com

I don't really see the appeal, if I'm honest.

Tbf, that's what Diaspora tried and it never took off. While I agree with the spirit of the idea, most people don't seem to care about the benefits that self-hosting would provide, and even for the ones that do, well, it's

I would say that even if the developer-friendly stage was behind them (and given how rapidly the web evolves, I don't think that any social-media company should ever consider itself past that stage), the fair thing to do - in my eyes

Way to blame the victim, man.

This is just... wow. The guy spends three years developing a product on Twitter's platform and they just kill it off with one e-mail? It's fair enough if they need to change their API policy, but at the very least they could have

Hmm, do YOU understand Twitter's platform and users? If you have some cool insights into those things then I'd love to hear them!

That's a really good analysis of what I was hoping Twitter could have been, and what it has actually became. I am quite curious to poke your brain a little on this. I agree that the concept of Twitter-as-an-infrastructure could be amaz

Hey, thanks for the reply, your insights are amazing. Totally with you on the whole "being an introvert who learned the traits of extroversion" thing too. I've played around with the Big Five model ages ago and found it to be

Can you elaborate more on your middle paragraph? It sounds very interesting.

Thanks for your follow up! Yes, it does look like I misunderstood your position a bit. It wasn't that I took offence as an "eastern european" (I moved out a decade ago and prefer to have as little to do with the place as I ca

That's kind of vague, though, and is laden with the assumption that YOU understand the world "from first principles" and the ones disagreeing with you don't. Especially your second comment strikes me as quite arrogant. &

That's an interesting comment for me to read as someone born in Eastern Europe. I can sort-of see what you mean from my own experiences, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm guilty of that as well. What would it mean for you to &

Hey, I appreciate your erm, apology, I guess. You're right, you shouldn't be rude to people, or they will stop talking to you. I don't know what you expect me to say to your second paragraph though. The guy making those &quot

But are you SURE you don't want to spend hours justifying your opinion to some random passive aggressive stranger? Clearly you're not allowed to share your views without being ridiculed unless you cite extensive sources and make s

No cryonics company has yet claimed that it "works". They're quite up front about the fact that they have no idea how to bring anyone back. People choose to get cryo-preserved despite that because, as far as some people see

You make some very good points. Question is, is there any way to know if such a malicious program is on your machine?

A very excellent read, thank you for sharing. I've experienced a very similar thing about a year and a half ago, so it's always comforting to read about someone else's experience! I still remember it vividly now, I took exhau

If I had a dollar for every time I saw a native english speaker complain about how "hard" English is. . . I think those that were born speaking English and never had to learn a second language start to feel insecure around literal

This is bizzare for me since I was messing around with the XKCD-substitutions plugin a few weeks ago, and replacing "Russia" with "Mordor" was one of the changes that I made. https://chrome.google.com/web
