I'm not trying to be snarky here, I'm genuinely considering moving north, and am curious: > "sidewalks are empty, because if you had any money you would be driving." Not sure this …

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I've definitely seen behind-the-front-seats screen ad placement and other weird things in ride shares in the U.S. so this doesn't seem out of…

I remember seeing one of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galton_board at the (I think) Boston Science Museum when I was a kid. They have some pretty cool videos on Youtube if y…

A blind person does not have the necessary input (sight data) to make the necessary computation. A car autopilot would. So no we do not deem a blind person to be unintelligent due …

The comment you were responding to said that the free tiers were a boon for the poor and you responded that they (under the fork of interest) "left poor people poorer". I mean I su…

>There's the folklore about half of all math papers giving the wrong proof for the right conclusion. Sorry, what? This is an extraordinary claim.

You beat me to it.

> Audition? Sorry, I don't entirely understand what you mean by that in this context. I think they mean "audiation".

The more I learn about prediction markets, the more I think they would be a worthwhile place to work. I'm using the term broadly to include "play money" markets such as Metaculous.…

Yes, I'm quite serious. You give an analogy of software. I suppose I feel that art differs from this in some ways. E.g. originality, creativeness. Reading many of these responses I…

Honestly what I'm most excited about is how this technology can be used, not to arrange parts or even loops but rather in new plugins (VSTs) that implement novel approaches to digi…
