That sentence confused me, too, but it's clarified in the next paragraph: > Children who grow up with high economic connectedness earn 20 percent more as adults on average than otherwise similar children who do not, a…
This bothered me at first but I think it's about ease of implementation. If you've built a good harness with access to lots of tools, it's very easy to plug in a request like "if the linked PR is approved, please react…
No, they've been doing "managing stacks of dependent pull requests" for a lot longer than AI code review. I've mostly been a happy user, they simplify a lot of the git pain of continually rebasing and the UI makes…
Bandwidth is the limiting factor in a lot of circumstances, and networks are very challenging to manage. Especially with an increasing number of users on mobile connections, reducing network usage can be the right call.…
Video encoding and decoding is expensive! Especially as cameras improve and users' expectations of quality increase.
On the other hand, tls/443 is pretty undesirable for media delivery in videoconferencing because a) it's tcp-based and the required ACKs mean a big reduction in throughput and increase in latency, especially in the…
I read the article as saying you can't solve everything yourself. That's different than saying you should ignore problems. Instead you need to communicate when you see a problem that you're not positioned to solve,…
That's way more computationally expensive and only available if the camera is on (and the user's mouth is visible).
A friend and former boss of mine founded CleanRobotics which makes the TrashBot, a trash can that sorts trash from recyclables: https://cleanrobotics.com/trashbot/ I haven't seen the output so I can't comment on how…
Can you cite some sources for your responses to 1 and 4? Re: 5, there's clearly a distinction between typical mutations, which have no particular effect on the virus' behavior but do allow us to trace infections, and…

Yes, but they do it because they can. Local talent in those places accepts lower salaries, so they're still getting good people. There are significant barriers to moving (for the employee) and hiring remotely (for…
Netflix pays exceptionally well and is very selective, and I understand they are quicker to fire underperformers than most. So it is fairly prestigious and ranks at the top in compensation.
The mic drop feature did exist; I had the pleasure of actively not clicking it on an email I sent last night.
Absolutely, if you have the budget to build, maintain, and support a custom ERP, it may be the way to go. But I think it's a tiny fraction of businesses where the benefits of that outweigh the extra costs involved. You…
Excellent point. A fear we see a lot in clients is that if the system's not built from scratch with them in mind, it can't do what they need. But the TCO of a system you build yourself is usually way higher than…
Working on an ERP startup^, this was a very interesting read for me. Our situation is a little different, because our goal is a customizable platform rather than a single instance built for a single company. Some points…
It's easier to expand than contract. When the same decision is faced multiple times, it will be made multiple ways, and it's very difficult to remove one of those options once it's in use. On the other hand, if you…
In the Huffington Post article, you wrote: "Years of working with NGOs and government aid programs were convincing me that handouts are a dead end, temporarily soothing the acuteness of the injustice but taking donor…
This is very similar to the 14-sensor emotiv headset (emotiv.com), which is a little pricier, but closer to a full EEG in scope. One thing I'm not sure of--are the behind-the-ear sensors in the Muse intended to be…
What is the distribution like among the top 1000 channels? Presumably the top of the top 1000 channels far outproduce the bottom, just like the top 1000 far outproduce the rest of youtube. Given such a distribution,…
The article claims way more than the paper does. It's pretty widely accepted that during sleep, the hippocampus replays patterns of activation that were produced during the day. In this case, that means that the rats…
Just put more of your point in your original post, and people will realize that you actually have a point. They'll be less likely jump to conclusions about your intelligence. >.> For example, "Are you a…
My bank limits you to 20 characters, which I'll grant is decent. But: NO non-alphanumerics, and, get this, is case insensitive. This may just convince me to switch banks...
