This does look like the second best option, given his current agenda, though.

Can't wait for the next podcast with Zucc where he gets asked about BJJ by some dimwit instead of this.

Going by the example videos, this is nothing like I'd expect a whiteboard video to look like. It fills the slides in erratically, even text. No human does that. It's distracting more than anything. If a human teacher wants to show

It's like we live in a different reality. I check into hotels every year in Europe for business trips and vacations. I book through sites like booking.com, I pay ahead via my bank, I don't give my debit card information, and I don

The rental experience has everything to do with payment. With a credit card, a person has to prove they shouldn't have been charged by a corporation, and without, the corporation has to prove a person should be charged. That's a m

Is this a US thing? I stay at hotels from time to time across Europe, and I always pay a fixed price either when booking or at arrival for the whole stay. Never had to enter credit card information anywhere, and I never would precisely for

As a polish YouTube user who wants to watch content in both languages, it's an infuriating no. YouTube started translating titles recently for me, and the translations are pure nonsense. I'm not exaggerating, it's dumb word f

As usual when it comes to psychology, the study sizes used in the meta-analysis paper are comically tiny. It always blows my mind that psychology is treated as science, when the vast majority of the academic work is statistical studies on 3

There's no need to respond with force. Russia will lose in the long-term due to sanctions as long as Republicans don't cock everything up even more by making deals with Russians and slowing down trade in the global west. Russians

Russians are kiling civilians with drones each day. I don't think this is some gray area hybrid warfare, it's just regular people not wanting drones to kill their neighbours.

I can't tell if this is satire.

Always fun to click through JS quizzes for the laughs. I've been programming JS since over a decade, and I never dared to use Date to parse anything I didn't verify with a regex.

Did you even read that article? The first paragraph mentions a UK woman who posted "Mass deportation now. Set fire to all the f—ing hotels full of the bastards for all I care. (...)". The rest is also mostly about the UK, not the

You don't think Elon went behind her back constantly? You think the next CEO will have more to say? She pretended to be in charge, she got paid, good for her. What are you hoping for. X is a dump, and the sooner it goes away the better

It's always old people complaining that 20-year-olds didn't learn programming 40 years ago like they did when computers had 5 assembly instructions, and a beeper for peripherals.

That sounds like wash trading. How is this legal?

Looks like something that can easily be solved by tweaking the curve. I also don't think you'll be doing such sharp turns often, and at that angle and speed you may as well get off.

The whole premise hinges on "dumb" people outbreeding "high IQ" people. The movie isn't about the failure of the education system, consumer compliance, or anything like that. The movie feels pro-eugenics, even if th

I don't think there's much discern, given the outrage around the Drag Queen Story Hour.

How many servers do you know to make such a bold assumption? I can't imagine somebody rational picking a roulette wheel over a "comparable" steady income. IMHO "if you can't tip, don't go" ends in a loss o

Don't forget the obsession with IQ, even if it died down recently.

Why does this article talk about generic "influential people" influencing "the algorithm"? Didn't Musk force Twitter engineers on a Sunday night to artificially boost him after he got less views than the president?

Scrolled through first half of the page, learned that this is a web app that allows me to "see my money", that it's private, "makes things simple", and that it "revolutionizes financial management". Is it

It always struck me as odd that people get emotionally attached to, and even make sacrifices for, work they do for a company they have no ownership over. It's just weird, but you hear so much of it in the tech industry. At least unioni

There's "lost decade" periods in the US market as well, that's why you shouldn't invest in a single market, and should apply unit cost averaging instead of dumping all your money at once.

The US stock market is exceptional, but that doesn't mean other markets don't grow. The global expected returns are around 4% annually.
