And could you imagine the bokeh on a portrait?!

Isn't this already the case with marijuana? Legal in one state, if you travel with it to another state, but make a stop in an illegal state, you can go to jail? I don't know much a…

Okay, now someone needs to do the same study with innocuous end game scenarios. (I know this study links to one other paper that makes this case, but I can't access it, and the abs…

The article also states this: "With just over 19 weeks into the year, this averages out to about 10 such attacks a week," when referring to the Buffalo shooting. Saying "10 such at…

But Buffett's point is that each unit of investment he pursues has the potential to produce incrementally more value. You're saying the aggregate technology underlying bitcoin has …

And yet, you shut down the possibility of religion without any degree of exploration. I don't need you to be religious. I understand annoyance with the fact that the culture you're…

This kind of condescension towards religion is so close-minded, and it's incredibly tiring. I think you'd be surprised just how much the faithful appreciate and embrace science, an…

I appreciated the "retro encabulator"-esque reference in the industrial sample.

Agreed. Speaking as someone who has hired hundreds of software engineers, I can tell you that having a degree at all tells me a lot about your work ethic. Sure, I'd prefer a comp s…

People have always been that way. Before Rogan showed up, before the internet was even invented, there were "nutters" that had deeply misinformed perspectives which they followed, …

I don't think that comment was implying those measures are to blame for rising deaths. I think it was to argue that they haven't had the impact they were expected to have.

Yeah, I need to fix that. You're seeing a performance bug. There's a cache in front of the API, and sometimes if you hit the API outside of the cache window, the lambda running in …

You bet! There's three major phases to the document matching: Corpus Management, Frequency Modeling, and Matching & Clustering. 1. Corpus Management - First we pull the raw article…

I built Drewes.NEWS as a way to learn NLP and serverless architecture, and to find bias in news by reading the same story from multiple outlets. Now it's evolved into a useful, pri…

Ha! I literally LOL'ed this. Well played.

I think the full lyric here is actually "pandemic ain't real, they just planned it." The meaning and intent of the lyrics are open to interpretation, but I think the latter part of…

Watched it here: https://mobile.twitter.com/Saint_BTC/status/1451559663753859... Mostly just the rappers waving their hands around and showing their guns.

I wish people would pay me to write headlines like this. How about this idea for an article: "People who find baseball stadium chairs uncomfortable risk developing diabetes.

Agree completely. Whenever I see the phrase, "let that sink in," that's a signal for me to stop reading. They're just going to tell me to be angry.

Trump was nominated because he brought more middle east leaders to the table for peace than any president in recent memory. Stalin and Hitler murdered gajillions. So, what's your p…

The primary thing I disagree with here is the thought that we can squelch our way to a more informed public. You clearly believe you can discern truth from lies, as do I. So why sh…

I think he/she is saying labor rates are a supply/demand calculation, not a value one. The I-beam in your house might be the most valuable thing to the structural integrity, but it…

This, 100%. This is the point. Everyone is trying to assert the harmfulness of "misinformation," but is ignoring the harmfulness of censorship. Also, has anyone considered that con…

Here's my problem with that. Twitter, Facebook, and Snopes likely don't have physicians, virologists, and epidemiologists on their staff. So who are they to determine truth or harm…
