I do teach at high school level and, in general, I am unimpressed by what the current generation of education tech brings to the table. Most of them do the same stuff as the tools available 15-20 years ago (Microsoft…
The point of the work is not to provide closure, but to foster discussion. The fact that we do not know if the princess is telling the truth or not puts us in the very same position as her lover (minus the fatal peril…
In theory, you are right. No freedom can be absolute because sooner or later it will undermine somebody else's freedom. In practice, the particular "but" the GP was referring to was concerning. We are not talking about…
That's what we do nowadays, is it? Somebody walks and say something against our preferred political ideology and we throw vague threats of ruining that person's life with false accusations?
Please elaborate. Your complain comes about passive-aggressive if you do not explain why the problem is a problem or how to solve it.

Editor folding is a band aid. You might as well buy a bigger screen.
A program composed of one thousand functions with average length of 1K LOC is jarring and hard to understand. The same program refactored into a quarter of a million functions of 5-8 LOC each is jarring in a very…
All great things were born out of great effort, but most great efforts do not lead to great things. The problem with these entrepreneurs that feel entitled to demand great effort from their employees is that they often…
Your grandparents had the expectation that other people would listen at any time, so they would self censor as needed. Your grandparents also received a direct benefit in the form of a more affordable land line.…
I personally believe that digging itself into a hole (and eventually climbing back up) is the status quo for Humanity. It has been done multiple times before, and doubtlessly it will continue to be the case once our…
The "two corners of the White House" part is totally in line with the "heads on pikes". It is all part of the same figure of speech. The part everybody is missing is "I'd actually like to go back to the old times of…

Correct. Your point being?

For what is worth, I think psychological manipulation is the real bad. Machine learning is just a force multiplier.
Go deep enough, and it all becomes meaningless. Of course it is the people. People are flawed. Any Greek philosopher from 3,000 years ago could have told you so. There's no point complaining about it because you are not…

On the other hand, your insurance company would have strictly (and wisely, IMHO) defined how many millions worth of chemo your $500/month plan will buy you, or specifically what kinds of treatments will it pay for, and…
I see... There's certain ancient technology that solves all those problems, then. Its name is.... Money! ;) But of course you knew that. May the Force be with you
