I am curious as whether this will be relatively forgotten or it will become a manifestation of the streisand effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect ). With hordes of troll users streaming crap, just f

What? Is he alt-right? I thought he's actually liberal leaning. Many of his episodes is about drugs and his experiences with psychedelics, which would make most conservative folks suspicious. Can you post something that elaborates into

Additionally when people want to leave but an acquisition is in progress, they might want to wait and finish their role during due diligence and term setting, and leave on good terms afterwards, than a hasty leave that might raise red fla

Without knowing the actual logistics, just speaking as a user. I see bike sharing being somewhat popular where I currently live (SF -- mostly JUMP bikes. Not sure about GoBike, the bright red jump branding is too "eye-grabbing" to

I mostly agree with you, but this part is what sells it to me "Turn your link in bio into an Insta website." I could see that catching up, though it would still of course be a limited audience. And also that they did such a nice j

Very well then. The robot is tracking a child with weapons drawn! Better? That was meant as a joke, it looks poor in taste because it is running after a child with the cannister of the cannon pointed towards the child. It even has "can

yes, there are many commercial toy robots with guns. And there are many gun toys and violent videogames etc etc. But they are not educational. Educational + has a cannon. There is some cognitive dissonance right there. My opinion.

Zero anti-chinese sentiment from my part. I was wondering if the culture there makes it more acceptable. I understand it is a poor question to ask, as it immediately sets the tone that China is doing something wrong. Perhaps I should have w

The fact that DJI releases an educational robot for kids that has a working cannon feels super icky from my western perspective. In China do they think it's a great idea? Is the culture gap that big, or is there another reason? Also, h

For the same reason some people want to use Machine Learning to do code reviews, rather than.. you know, have the team pair program and review each other. Providing solutions to problems nobody had. And making new businesses out of old idea

This would be very relevant if Valve made games. Valve doesn't make games, they make a game store. Their competition is more like gamestop and gog, than Capcom/Ubisoft/Acti-Blizzard/EA etc... Maybe now that they are ente

You think these schools and teachers want to educate kids? These people want to just get their salary at the end of the month and eliminate all potential liabilities that could get them in trouble. They would ban eye contact and speaking to

I bought and sold stock from a Marijuana ETF when they first got introduced. And 3 days later my bank called me and told me I cannot do it again. Of course I immediately tried doing it again after the call, but the online brokerage system w

I do the same, unless I feel my life is in danger (reckless driving). Why punish someone who might be working for less than minimum wage?

And it never moved by a factor of even 0.01? Since they are probably doing some rounding, it never moved by 0.005? Maybe it did and by the time I checked it was back at 4.88. It's interesting that many people in this thread report 4.8

I 'm also at 4.88! And has been there for 4 years, never went up or down (at least I haven't noticed it. I don't exactly sweat over it. Only checked when someone asks which is like once per year). I can imagine 2 things. 1. A

Why use Machine Learning to identify kids? Simply ask "Identify the Karate Kid actor" if they pick Jackie Chan over Pat Morita, you know they are a kid 100%.

Touché and well played. I am on the camp that big rewrites are more often than not a mistake. The real reason behind most rewrites is that writing code is easier than reading code. A system has grown to be too complex to understand, and ins

I see two big issues. The first one is about how well it is integrated in the show, or how "respectfully" it is done. Let's say for example... Car brands are very welcome and a must in the Fast and Furious movies. It would be

I am not saying cable is better. I am saying that netflix has a lot of hidden marketing in their shows (for adults, I don't have kids and I don' watch kids shows) that praising them for being ad-free is kinda disgenious. In the en

Netflix puts the ads directly inside the shows they control themselves. This way no adblock can censor them, and Netflix can prance around pretending they are saints for not showing ads. Example "Hey let's call an uber" says

I don't know about you, but I don't use react because I don't know how to use it. I think it would be more interesting to read about people who know how to use it, have used it, but now choose not to.
