Yes! Thank you! I'll even see if I can help contribute. Does iCloud iOS backup accomplish an exact sync for iPhone and iOS? I've never used it so I am not sure. If I use iCloud bac…

I will elaborate a bit more. You've taken the time to have this macOS set up configured exactly to your liking. All of these apps have settings and application data. Sometimes the …

What do you do if you lose your data and have to start over? As far as I know, there is no way to automate the settings of all of these macOS apps that don't have config files that…

It is likely that if you did an experiment that compared retention and understanding of reading with the real books and these Instagram Stories, the readers of real books would tro…

Yeah... I think about this too... Is there any major city in the world that doesn't suffer this fate now? I was subletting from painters in Yad Eliyahu and they told me they are mo…

"I wanted to be near a Jewish population because that is important to me." I didn't know that Jewish people are only Jewish people and not Jewish product managers or jewish musicia…

I rarely post here but fuck it. I was born in Redwood City. I went to school briefly at UCB and graduated from UCD. I spent the entirety of my life in this small stretch of land. I…

Merry Christmas from Israel :o

I feel that this site is just as addictive and with marginal utility as so many other sites and social networks on the internet.

I've read enough books about the internet now to realize that all of the benefits come with costs. I can be just as addicted to any of the information spouts on the internet. Hacke…

I think to me the value is equal in a way. It comes down to fear of missing out. What events/social activities will I miss out on by not having Facebook? What possible job/career o…

Yes. I deleted everything except LinkedIn this year. I will delete that soon. I wish I could delete everything including this site...

I started to contemplate this too. I love Apple products and I use a 13" 2017 tbMBP at work and a 15" 2017 tbMBP at home. I, of course, have an iPhone. I have my complaints like ev…

This is just corporate posturing. Apple recently banned VPN's that have the potential to block ads including Freedom [1]. [1] https://freedom.to/blog/freedom-has-been-temporarily-r…

I think about this a lot. With the rise of cloud computing, I wonder if what I am doing is even programming. I even searched Stack Overflow recently to see if working on complex co…

I did this by reflecting on my own life. I reflected on my habits and behaviors. I thought about how my life was before and after this. I thought about this even more compared to w…

This article speaks to me and what I've been preaching to others for a while now. I got high speed internet in 1999. I was 13 years old. I am now 29 on the cusp of 30 and I think t…

This is something I talk about with my friend who is doing a PhD in linguistics. I noticed as well that the internet is changing the English language. The rampant globalization tha…

What is the name of this anti-constipation drug and do you have a link to the commercial?

AJ+ is all the worst things about social media. These bite sized share friendly hip news clips about complex issues lacking tons of context. Their Israel coverage is fucking terrib…

This is exactly my thoughts exactly. Reality is biased. It just depends which opinions and ideologies you subscribe to. I am progressive and am against police brutality and a lot o…

I'm sorry but why do people love a news organization that is funded by Qatar? People claim that they were completely separate but they weren't at all and gripped by controversy tha…

I took this course last year. I had a degree in statistics already. I just wanted to go through this GREAT book and watch these great professors. If you have any interest in learni…

This course is more of an introduction to statistics.

Sorry for delay. I think it's just better interoperability with many other systems. R has very hacked on interoperability in my opinion but I am not an expert.
