In behaving this way, he is erasing a tremendous amount of the goodwill he generated from his space and electric car businesses. The world's media, political, business, scientific elite are on Twitter and watching…
I share the author's personal investment in this topic. It was my first introduction to the web3 world, and it really showcases the potential of truly decentralized communities. Some of the flaws were visible, but…
This is a very good point, policy making in Canada has shifted to an enormous degree to the courts. And the Supreme Court has also been very vocal about choosing its own members too [0]. The BBC had a lecture series [1]…
There’s been something wonky about YouTube downvotes for a little while now. If you go any children’s video (I have two toddlers so am accessing them all the time), downvotes often outstrip upvotes. The reasons are…
ICE’s have over a century of development behind them now. I’m not going to miss them, but I wonder if there’s a way to ‘archive’ this kind of specialist mechanical engineering knowledge. It may come in handy one day.…
It's fortunate that Pfizer/BioNTech chose the whole spike protein mRNA as their vaccine candidate over the one that focused just on the receptor binding domain -- which the UK mutation changed. Wise choice, and…
There's Messenger Lite, I think meant for low internet connection speeds and free of a lot of bloat. Hopefully the antitrust lawsuit will keep Zuck from getting too egregious and getting rid of that too, but who knows.
It's a really good point; what really got me was Facebook being impossible to remove from my Samsung device (S8+) without rooting. Likely due to their tie-up with Oculus. I find the uncannily appropriate ads being…
I'm moving away from Android (after 10 years) to iOS for exactly this reason. Not much sympathy for FB on my end.
It's a simple choice really; being infected with Covid means your body creates thousands of antibodies to fight the virus. Some of those will likely go on and attack your own cells and cause post-covid symptoms. The…
I think we have Adobe to thank for stagnation in creator tools. There are smaller, harder to find companies doing pieces of the work (i.e. Photopea for Photoshop) and lots of video editing apps that have grown up around…
What competitor is this, if you don't mind me asking? Could use a service like that for my own project.
I think you're right... We blew through the free tier 50k database reads just on testing, and that's just 3 users!
Early stage social media/news feedy startup here, wondering if a strategy of just starting off with Firebase and praying will work. I figure if we did get to a thousand or ten thousand users, we could recruit the DevOps…
I can't wait for the Netflix series on this. Having lived with many of them over the years, I've always admired the sheer entrepreneurial energy of the Lebanese diaspora. Remember, Carthage was founded by ancient…
I wish there was a way to get all of the episodes of Mr. Rogers, especially outside of the US. Current offerings really lack the patient approach he exemplified. There's one DVD set with just 30 episodes, no digital…
A few things helped me - part time child care/day care - putting grandparents to work, especially the first few months - wife cut her work hours - lots of YouTube as background distraction. I haven't seen any ill…
They should use RSS; Youtube, Medium and most blogs already generate RSS feeds for their content.
A Malcolm Gladwell noted in his recent podcast, the entire Ivy league undergrad cohort (17k) would fit into the incoming class at the University of Toronto (ranked ~20 worldwide in most rankings). If Harvard admission…
A pretty accurate but damning portrayal of the economy in Canada. I wonder how smaller but more successful economies like Sweden or Israel manage to consistently build great companies?
There are many uses for the technology that don't violate civil rights. We can finally catch dangerous or intoxicated drivers on highways who cause accidents. Just because the tech is Chinese doesn't automatically…
I wonder if the same McDonnell Douglas corporate culture behind the flawed DC 10 is what led to the MAX? It's often said Boeing's acquisition of Douglas was more of a reverse takeover. On a side note, I once met an…
Thanks for posting here! Do you see any chance of an open source framework, like Mozilla's tacotron, competing with something like Google WaveNet's quality?
Impressive! I wonder what they're using for video editing and vfx? Blender is great for 3d assets, but what open source software can make this?
NLTK (python) will do it. I'm working on a similar project and the text summaries are great, even for non English articles.
