Just wanted to say: I'm thoroughly impressed with how far in the weeds you're replying in this comment section. I'm learning a lot from the threads.

I try to "think my own thoughts" but then I see them elsewhere all the time. My twitter bio has been "Thoughts expressed here are probably those of someone else." for over half a d…

I appreciate this community when I see replies like this. Friendly, humble advice is hard to come by in this world.

It's like using "certified pre-owned" instead of "used".

Can you talk a little more about worksheets? I'm not familiar with scala worsheets at all. Follow-up: How do you transition to productionizing your code after iterating in them?

I love the idea of a positive (yet critical) feedback loop instead of the tone on display here.

Your comment, among the sea of others, got through and made some sense to me. My follow-up questions are: Does that negate the truthfulness of LeCun's response? What would Gebru ra…

I was surprised to see Gab as a top reply to one of his tweets. Gab has a verified Twitter account, and it was offering itself as an alternative to the 'censorship'. I don't find i…

I recently discovered: https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy It takes a lot of the legwork out. Obviously you're referring to the likelihood of a major email provider marking you as spam…

I forgot how quickly a web page can load with no JS. Kudos!

From that page, it looks like odd lots are still transacted damn near the same rate. '1 to 2 basis points' off would be .01-.02% extra

Especially because it's not the default weather app on any Android device. Users have to seek it out. They're not punishing every android user, just the ones that have already supp…

Does "N=16" mean they've approved this test after such limited testing? I think my high school stats class told me not to trust studies where N < 30.

As a fan of nginx, I really liked your comment. In sleuthing after reading I came across this: https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/integrations/nginx-consul... It appears that if th…

.NET core has been a godsend in making .NET an interoperable option for cloud architectures. I'm continually impressed with the open source embrace from Microsoft.

I assume the answer would be the same times that are solving for delayed sleep phase disorder.

I believe their net revenue was still +40%. I think a slowing in subscriber growth could prove to be temporary. In general, they'd have to lose shareholder/board confidence in comp…

I'm neither of the previous posters, but I'm quite happy with my recent purchase of Brooklinen sheets. I was referred by a roommate who also is a happy customer. I got my mom some …

I know this is just anecdotal, but my friends and I do heavily use Hangouts. It doesn't have enough functionality on its own, but I've augmented our experience with a chatbot power…

This will end up making facebook a more expensive place to advertise, but I doubt advertisers would stop given how much screen-time facebook gets per user per day. So really this i…

In addition to film, I highly recommend the book published by the whistleblower Harry Markopolos, "No One Would Listen".[0] He spent the better part of a decade trying to alert the…

They've gone from 28 million to 71 million premium subscribers in 3 years with a declining, single digit, churn rate. I'm impressed. I'm a happy Spotify customer, I hope they conti…

Intrinsically? Nothing. I think he's just making an observation, not insinuating anything.

Do you think there's a market for "Cloud Meteorologists"?

Not discrediting you, but can we get a source for any of those declarations?
