I’ve been interested in Zettelkasten for over a year and have tried all of the apps (Obsidian, Notion, pen and paper, etc.) but I still haven’t found a good system for using it. I …

Prison reform issues always make me feel so contrasted. On one hand, a lot of the people held there did awful things. The article mentions El Chapo, mobsters, drug dealers, etc. as…

I believe OP is asking about the training model data for Google Duplex (i.e. did Google record calls between two people for training data).

Google is very clearly all about the money as well. It's just that they understand there is no money that will come from the "customer". Instead, it will all come from other corpor…

Eh, I feel like this is pretty bland. It should incorporate a dictionary attack database. For example, "password" should be considered way weaker than any combination of letters. I…

I wish click bait was more well defined. In this case, I feel the original title summarizes the entire claim made in the article. Using the title "Claims made by..." sounds like it…

That's actually not true in terms of the GDPR. A company, simply, only needs to have an EU citizen as a customer for the company to be regulated by the GDPR. [1] [1] https://www.fo…

This bothers me a lot as well. The EU shouldn't have domain over American companies. There's a reason that there isn't a ton of Tech companies in places like Germany.

Can't that be a violation in the eyes of GDPR? If they don't give users a simple button, then can't that be argued to be not giving the user the ability to export data. The problem…

How long did it take for Windows 95 to be developed? It would be an interesting contrasts between Enterprise and Charitable development.

That really is some great insight into entrepreneurship. I have that same problem of wanting everything to be perfect before showing it to anyone.

He honestly isn't wrong. People use Google and Facebook everyday for free in exchange for their privacy and they are ok with that. You can ask most people and they'll say they didn…

I just don't get it. I don't get the enormous backlash over this. Users give away their data to a company, the company sells that data to advertisers (or sells ads and targets the …

Thanks for coming back and sharing your success! It's very inspiring for me. I just graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree and debating going back for a CSE Bachelor's degr…

I get that it's hard to pass up on the money. Once you take it though it's hard to not look hypocritical. Especially since he gave them a large amount of the data that was abused.

Do employers have the same tools with email?

Wow! I love this idea. Congratulations! One question I have is what are you doing with the textbook pictures? Also, does the user categorize where the pictures came from so other p…

Yea, there just seems to be so many things that aren't adding up yet. The news footage also showed a damaged bicycle but there is not mention of a cyclist in the article. I hope th…

Do you have a guide that you can point to for the correct typesetting in LaTeX?

I have lots of problems with this article's arguments. He uses several simplified examples to show the "cost" of convenience. > When you can skip the line and buy concert tickets o…

It seems like the article can be boiled down to 2 points. 1.) Deficit increasing projects (Infrastructure the main example) should be conserved for when the economy is weak so the …

Thank you for sharing your experiences with Backblaze. I've been debating which cloud back up service to go with and your comment has started to sway me away from Backblaze. It is …

A pact like that would only benefit the city with most incentives that are not tax related. Giving businesses tax incentives is a great way for smaller cities to get their foot in …
