Not sure what point you're trying to make. Do you think politely asking an ad company to disable ads on their browser is a reasonable thing to spend your effort doing?

Making a good poster is bikeshedding. Organizing an event is hard and making better posters than this is a waste of their limited resources.

I have a master's in education technology. There's no "simply put" here. Your position is not obvious, established, or universal and this is not simple.

Sloppy conclusion about edtech startups. If everyone is hiring a "tutor" to just do their homework for them, that doesn't mean that all tutors are bad.

No. But almost always, the car company is fine.

Indeed. It's another example of a law that sounds good and obvious, but has no thought put into what it would actually end up doing to the world. So many other problems. If we apply this law to cruise control - simple outcome. We get n

There's problems with every system, but as a Canadian, it doesn't sound like you know anything about our health care.

I'm far above that floor so I'm not worried. What worries me is the job is transforming into something that a different type of person than me enjoys.

People are spending billions of dollars a month in aggregate because yes, they do like it.

It's hard to take criticism like this seriously when you didn't say the model you used. It's like someone complaining about a car's performance but they leave out the brand and year. If you don't think that's r

Great. For my game [1] I have long had the capacity to compile a separate commandline application using unity code [2]. This lets me do benchmarks and unit tests on the core chess AI code without the editor. However I've had to maintai

"just show me stuff that reflects what I value." Ads don't show you what you value. They show you what companies think you will waste your money on. You need to wake up, my friend.

What's wrong with DO? Been happily using them for over a decade.

It surely would be here and a million other places online. And there'd be nobody talking about the ice cream. Just Trump.

I couldn't help but note that your comment and mine could have been written by people who know absolutely nothing about the tech of this post. Interesting.

The criticisms here remind me of a quotation that I'll paraphrase: "in silicon valley there's a million apps to order a coffee, but not one to teach you to read". People seem to have the basic premise: why not just get a

> Telling people not to be political is a political act No. If there's a group to discuss ice cream, but they keep talking about Trump, it's not a "political act" to say "hey guys, aren't we here for ice cre

It doesn't have to be good. It just has to be better. What we do now is completely abandon and ignore most seniors. The bar is low. Don't like it? What's your better solution? Are you going to do it?

You're implying that's the same but it's obviously better. Nothing wrong with renting when you're told you're renting.

I can't quantify how useful GitHub is as a software developer either. That doesn't prove it's useless, just that it's hard to quantify.

Defence in depth isn't hamfisted. They're only noobs if this is all they do.

A lot of people and orgs don't use security products for security. They use them for security theater. A vast majority of people, even many security people, will never hear about this breach. So LastPass still works great for them.
