Just letting you know you're not alone, It's gonna bite me and bite me badly, i know it. And still, I'm in the dark playground all the time. I used to have discipline. Don't know w…

From an outside perspective, American system looks more like "right" and "extreme-right", disguised as choice over small-ish policies. Sadly that's an extreme them-or-us system tha…

Some online banks (don't know how widespread this is) allow you to create "virtual card" that expire either after 1 purchase or at a specific date (and with a set maximum of budget…

Programming is hard because you need to have a lot of pre-acquired knowledge before you can even start to delve in the only interesting aspect of it, which is the logic solving. Is…

Isn't this, like, a very evil thing to do? I know there aren't any laws there yet but why should be expect no morals at all from people with power? Is Elon Musk simply another bad …

"You're free to quit" doesn't sound like the most correct groundwork to build an honest society.

Not to mention the elephant in the room that an over-optimized environment is not suitable for human life.

I can accept "un-sentimentality" only in the case we're hiring and firing robots.

I totally agree. But also, critically, an auto-pilot is precisely expected to have "a brain", it's implicit in the name. Maybe we should just agree that auto-pilot, in its common i…

I wonder how many flaps you could possibly check on your Tesla during your commute (i'm being sarcastic). Also, I could imagine that an airplane is, from a totally theoretical and …

> In my opinion, this is yet another case of people being lulled into a false sense of security that the car drives itself, when in reality the Tesla's driver should have been atte…

It's also a matter of perceived consequences. To put it bluntly, most people simply don't have the energy, at the end of the day, to chase "feel good", distant, ethereal causes. Ye…

Is there an online interface where i can try this myself?

May I suggest the PS4 videogame Dreams? Could be the perfect trojan horse to get him into programming. Beware it's a MASSIVE time-sinker.

It would be fun if this ends up being just a test of how suggestible or easily influenced people are.

Not the parent, but i can't recall faces (not even my parents) aside from isolated features, like a mustache. I've seen absolutely nothing on this flashing screen despite looking a…

This industry mostly provides very ephemeral services, so it's almost never a matter of life and death (the entire multi-million email marketing sector could implode overnight and …

Yes and no. People realize the guy there is not the whole company, but they also realize they are the only way to get communication going, and losing time only to be greeted with a…

I've learned that good intentions are filtered differently when the other party is already angry. If my customer is having a problem, I can try being friendly after the communicati…

I wonder if it's safe to say that every religion started as pop culture.

What's the advantage of having Discord installed instead of using it via browser? It seems so odd to me to install programs that still need an internet connection anyway to work.

What modifications you would suggest to increase Firefox memory usage? EDIT: "increase" in the sense of "make better". Whoops.

I've found the add-on Panorama View a life saver: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/panorama-view... I don't want to save tabs, I just need them to be separated in arb…

Why don't just require a signature on delivery? If you're not home, retrieve it to the local post/courier office. Or use amazon lockers. Why leave packages in the open when you're …

Cameras are everywhere. Cameras linked to the database of a grocery store are not. This is Douglas Adams level bizarro world. Like Amazon Keys (can't remember the exact product nam…
