Sometimes when I'm thinking about it and what 95% of developers are working on, it feels like a planet-wide charity project against unemployment.

So. Instead of giving any arguments you prefer to claim a higher ground based only on some intrinsic quality miraculously shared only by people who agree with you, but some terribl…

Well, I beg to differ. I'm against kindergarten level of moral. Look, luddism is bad for everybody in a long term. We saw riots against Uber in some country where people turn cars …

Oh hey, I got where you were mistaken! :) You assumed that people who don't want their data being scraped are the nice guys and people who want to use that data are the baddies. No…

Unpopular opinion here. I think that it would be better for most if scraping prevention was illegal if there's no API that allows authorised application to perform every action acc…

I don't think I'll convince you to try the latest MM, so I've ordered the one you've mentioned (Logitech's MX Master 2). It should be delivered to me tomorrow. I'll be using it for…

Ah, thank you. William James keeps chasing me.

Is it a known phrase or your good sense of humour?

So what if he is? Humanity can cover whole planet in asphalt and survive.

Surprisingly, that's how I thought about it.

Somebody, please explain me, why out of blue it became fashionable to put that native-sounding flavour of an accent in games and movies even when its story assumes almost every cha…

Flippant – yes, interesting points – really not. My problem is with grandparent comment. I don't get how it's permissible to discuss ethics of other peoples reproductive choices.

Let me help you. > does a child have a right to know who their biological parent is? Not necessarily > Is it ethical to donate, create offspring, and remain anonymous? Yes > Some f…

If you don't see labour camps as a form of modern slavery, then I'm genuinely asking you to provide the definition you've learned back at school.

Well, we have better means for automation now. But I'm just fascinated how quickly that solution pops up in such discussions as soon as it's convenient.

I like how we instinctively turn to slavery when there's a grand project that becomes vital.

We don't know exact question asked. And even if it contained exact "stealing" phrasing, it's possible mr. Bengio simply decided to ignore connotation for sake of productive convers…

Really. Because "they" are not "Yoshua Bengio". "They" are the journalists. In a link from this quote: "You have expressed concern that corporations have ‘stolen’ talent from acade…
