Intuition always comes after the feeling of awe or confusion, in my opinion. Really depends on how you learn.

No, another link to 3Blue1Brown was posted earlier this week and hit the front page. My basic assumption is that when a topic is posted, people will explore that topic and, if it's…

I actually have a modified version of SICP being used as a textbook for one of my classes -- it's called Composing Programs.

Ah I get what you're saying. So FitBit doesn't allow other sites to access your data stored. What the heck, I feel like that would damage their utility.

The charge 2 is the same price as the old one -- but I'd agree if they could put an actual gps tracker on a $150 watch -- like with polar m200 -- it'd be a better competitor to oth…

I can see why there's no direct integration -- isn't it better for a company to ask permission for your data before using it? Like how if you want to sign up for a website through …

I've had mine for more than a year and a half -- my charge hr hasn't failed yet. But my cousins' have, which leads me to wonder what if the issue is user-caused.

I have a charge hr -- mostly for silent alarms to wake me up without disturbing my roommates, and timer function in case I need to track something. Oddly enough I don't care about …

I feel like buying a Surface just to have drawing capabilities is expensive -- why not just make a screen ascessory that lays onto of your keyboard (or not) and plugs in via USB-C?…

But now they got bought out by FitBit after going too much in debt (?).

Bought out by Facebook -- which is not the norm of most crowdfunded companies. In my personal belief, the crowdfunding model as it exists now is not a form of investment that will …

I'm going to guess that the person also uses Google docs and or slides which is mostly web-based -- yes you can download it for offline use but that's a hassle.

Yes, Bitcoin has many competitors but it is the only cryptocurrency to have achieved 'mass' adoption. When you think of the pinnacle digital currency, it's Bitcoin -- that has valu…

Eh, that would probably mean I'm an outlier -- considering I spend most of my time reading rather than watching videos on Youtube or Facebook.

I'd admit that Medium has occasionally weird stuff on its frontpage -- but doesn't every website where content is written by its community have that? Just create an account and bro…

Would people still have problems with advertisement if it was extremely tailored towards them? I'd presume Medium already collects data on their users and their preferences -- does…

What about the twitch model? Writers rely on donations and subscriptions.

Slack: used it at a hackathon and found it better than Facebook or Skype or whatever groups use to organize; happy that the club I joined recently as an officer is using it for com…

Last sentence was a bit caustic. Should WikiLeaks even be considered as a reliable source after Assange demonstrated his political bias against Hillary? Also, can you provide a lin…

I don't think the rivers would run dry if we recycled waste water, as a majority of it is just dumped into the ocean.

Because it's expensive, has public stigma, and some places like California are located near faults.

If you really want to see the affect of the drought, visit the Hispanic and or local farmers.

That sounds like some Garrett Hardin argument -- privatization will not solve the water shortage issue. It would simply allow large industrial farms, which typically pollute local …

I believe California has alternative methods to desalinization like the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, or recycling water which reuses 60-82% of water that would otherwise be wasted.…

I don't think the current model of agricultural production in California is sustainable; for something that takes up 70-80% of the state's water, it only amounts to 2-2.5% of the G…
