The article has a refers to a few sources towards the end including: One such study found that children who grew up in homes with between 80 and 350 books showed improved literacy,…

May I ask the $2000 desktop configuration with 2x the speed? Of course Apple chips won’t work well for gaming, but what other benchmarks will this $2000 desktop win?

Re: India. It’s very common. Large IT firms like Tech Mahindra, Cognizant etc do it. I had offers from a company where they wanted around 1 year salary of signed check. If I leave …

I agree with most of your comment and it's making me rethink some of my opinions. But is this accurate: > Wealth creation isn't zero-sum, just because someone builds a business and…

I admit that politics is mixed into my opinions here. It's just that based on current political climate, I think it's hard to keep politics aside. My thoughts about pg have essenti…

It’s my opinion but that was a very one sided view. And I need to read more on this but I don’t think the way he pointed it out is how anyone is proposing wealth tax.

Or apps for that matter. Having used the app for 6 months, I just keep a browser tab open these days, no use of feeding all the RAM to Slack.

This is a huge clickbait. Does not mention that fine is in Australia and fine is just $7 mil.

I am not aware of Readdle doing anything bad or having a bad reputation. How is it bad for privacy, just asking because I’m a regular user and would switch if it’s not good for pri…

Spark for macOS and iOS can do something similar for any mail accessible via IMAP/POP/Exchange.

I guess the point of the article is exhorbitant fees. An ice pack and a bandage in ER don’t have to cost $5k plus.

Thank you. I will consider doing that. I will have to create or find a relevant dataset that's small enough for those concepts but I guess that'll help rather than jumping straight…

Thanks for sharing. I will take a look at Cython implementation, that should help me learn a few things.
