"You seem pretty upset" in this context is basically the same as saying "you mad bro?" I hate when people say that during a discussion or argument.
Why is your disappointment in Sanders? Do you not remember the momentum he generated in 2016? Shouldn't your disappointment be directed at his peers?
Tax automation. Don't prevent companies from getting rid of their human workforce - redistribute wages "paid" to robots to humans.
Nothing except cost. If employees cost more than developing and implementing AI, then they will do it. In preparation for the move to a totally AI driven customer interface (which WILL happen, barring any large scale…
Do you mean workers working 20 hours a weeks total or 20 hours a week at a particular employer? There are plenty of individuals who work multiple jobs, still get only 30-some hours, and still collect public assistance.…
I can only speak for myself here, but I never found being "PC" to be incongruent with how I normally treat people. Never in my every day interactions have I considered whether or not what I do or say is PC. Treating…
CS pays. Luckily it's also mildly interesting and sometimes very interesting. I don't love my job, but I work for a company that does good things and pays me pretty well. None of my goals have ANYTHING to do with my…
Disagree. Respect is given and removed if proven undeserving.
Spotify should not "pull a Netflix". Spotify should "pull a Bandcamp". Rather, Bandcamp should start a streaming service. I've had a payment model in my pocket for years that I think would work really well for them.
Some tuna actually is red, though. For example, yellow fin tuna. Caught one last month and when I got home my brother and I made sashimi... Meaning that we cut it into slices and ate it. It was so, so good. I still like…
In terms of Dota, I don't think it's that impressive, but it is still cool. I'll be impressed when I see a 5v5 with bots that adapt to the opponents' strategy. I do think that it currently could be an excellent tool for…
This post is either meta or deja-vu... I swear someone commented this last week.
Great to see a fellow tech death/extreme metal lover here. Obscura, Necrophagist, and played with Ron Jarzombek. That's some history right there. Tom Fountainhead (ex-Obscura) recently published a cover of a track off…
The Ironbound is getting nicer every year. Yesterday I was walking home from the train and there were young people everywhere. Definitely not what I am used to around here. Granted, the Ironbound could be a totally…
In NYC, yes. During rush hour, the local subways come every 5 minutes at most. I think a safe estimate is about 15 trains every hour. The express subways are spaced out a little more, closer to 8 or 10 minutes,…
The crux of the author's argument is "People will have less incentive to work which is bad." And hey, I actually agree that people should work regardless of whether UBI is enough for them to sustain a decent quality of…
I've mostly replaced lunches at work with Soylent and I also have it for breakfast most of the time. Occasionally, I supplement Soylent with granola. I love food, but I don't care to make it. I used to make turkey or…
It's pretty funny because of the stereotype. On the other hand, it makes sense that someone dedicated to improving the state of privacy and personal data ownership lives on a boat. If he decides the government becomes…
Here's hoping that NY, LA, and other major US cities adopt "Old Parisian" urban planning methods. Wishful thinking.
Thanks for sharing. I overheard someone on my team say that a production user is having problems with our service. The team checked AWS status, but only took notice of the green checkmarks. Through some dumb luck (and…
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems you're making the "If you're giving Google your information, why do you care if the government gets it too?" argument. Services that you have mentioned are voluntary. You can…
Hanlon's Razor in action, as I see it.
Vimeo has a great platform that I think could be expanded to big budget / Hollywood film. They already abide by what seems to me a Bandcamp-meets-Spotify model but for video. I really think getting on a service such as…
I believe the term you're looking for is homogeny.
The only way I think this can work is if the customer who reports the incident describes exactly what they see in the report. Then the human who receives the dirty car and cleans it verifies that the car is not only…
