I mean you think it's dumb but I honestly think that mixing with airpods would be the better option. Same with icons where a high resolution pixel graphic can look horrible when scaled down to icon level vs an icon drawn in the resolut

The only thing that's ethically questionable are humans themselves and such a device would likely do more to expose the unethical. Everybody remembers what happen when online dna hit mainstream.

I agree, while we're at it, let's repaint the Michelangelo paintings in the Vatican, way too much nudity and those clothes are way out of fashion and let's rewrite 1984, it used to describe a scary future dystopia, but now it

If your language/tooling and naming is bad then no, enums won't resolve it either: Is this a username or a state? create_user('ADMIN') Same for, could be a variable for the admin username, can't be sure can y

That's not a problem with bool arguments, that's a problem with the language and tooling.

Most people are easily manipulated if you know how and are willing to do so. This has been proven multiple times, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8BkzvP19v4 There are other ways to make people do things as wel

Define suffering, because the absolute of what you describe requires life with zero emotion and most would agree that a life like that would be depressing as hell. I've never met a depressed person who didn't say they were sufferi

Short term, yes, but it's had a massive head start, these things take time. Subscribers recently increased because account sharing was stopped but recently Disney has already passed Netflix in subscribers across all its platforms: htt

Revenue != Success Priced appropriately is a key word, you're happy to pay $20/mo for 3 services but will you feel the same when it's $200/mo for 10 services? Netflix was priced appropriately until it started getting som

Then something changed recently then as I personally never noticed an annoyance on nytimes til recent years after where it seemed any article required paywall. In addition, there is one important thing that is not being paywalled (yet), the

I heard AOL was doing great in revenue too. It won't happen over night, of course there will be a temporary boost in revenue when one decides to force everyone that visits the site to pay. How much of that is from existing NYTimes subs

by zepolen 4y ago
That implies that NYTimes is thriving after their inclusion of paywall. It's not. It's on the same path as medium and slowly over time other venues of information are (stealthily) eating its lunch. There will be a 'Why did ny

There is only one reason medium went down the hole and it's because it annoyed the fuck out of users by demanding sign up (and subscription) just to read content OTHERS had created on the platform. What the hell did they expect would h

You just leverage supply and demand. Serve dodo as an exclusive gourmet meal to thirty oil sheikhs at $1 million a piece. Easy.

I have been a carnivore since reading your comment. For me, this has almost nothing to do with being snarky and all about the plant welfare.

The actual smart ones would realize they are writing code for others rather than themselves and go with the latter.

You're not wrong, but the root issue is that most of the time the team are not actually full stack devs or they are full stack devs that haven't worked in a team. There should be no context switch if you're full stack. The co

No. Using a file system to look at photos is absurd. Searching photos using text, handling live images, displaying on a map by gps coords, categorizing people/places/albums automatically. None of this is handled by a filesystem or
