I can afford to fly. I'm on the plane. You don't have to watch my kid, but they'll be next to you. It works both ways.

Then quit whining about the toddler next to ya. That's your choice too. I don't understand the objection to a middle ground approach here, but if that's what we want then screw it.…

When I opened the article I thought it was going to be about someone cheating at the US Chess Championship.

No. According to me there is probably a middleground. You can't have it both ways that you don't want a child next to you and just expect parents to spend extra money to accommodat…

Some of us are just trying to survive financially or couldn't care less what you think. Tough luck then buddy. Have fun with the kids. There has to be some kind of middle ground he…

And I'll smile back knowing you're about to have a really great flight with my 3 year old :) (to be clear, I don't do this personally and pay extra to sit together but I do hope pe…

Then don't whine when you're sitting next to a 3 year old that has all the same justifications you do for sitting there. I don't appreciate social pressure to make your flight as c…

It was my favorite game from childhood. I remember finding it in an Office Max store. They had PC titles on a shelf high up. I actually played the game having no idea there was a m…

Maybe they died.

I'm sure we could pull some money together to get you out of economic slavery. Don't want that on our conscience

I haven't looked into this issue in detail and was surprised to see such a brazen threat so I wanted to find information on your quote "comply or there will be consequences". I'm n…

Complete tangent here. My favorite book to read my kids is Zen Shorts by Jon J Muth. It features a panda named Stillwater who tells this story (among others) in it.

I agree with you but it's an awkward set of criteria: - Change your mind when new information is given, that is thinking for yourself. - Don't change it too much, that is not think…

>No, it isn't. It isn't but I think it can be. In my rural part of the southeast I see more and more people making better food choices (myself included). Maybe the person interview…

There's too many factors for drawing lines. In wealthy countries laws ensuring a higher age for employment makes more sense. In really impoverished countries where there isn't enou…

I can't pretend to know if this contains the actual ML model code but there is a second repo the-algorithm-ml: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm-ml

There appears to be a repo for the-algorithm-ml: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm-ml

Hopefully not a glimpse into the future where CVs detail which AI models you can access.

Really well done. There are some interesting ideas presented here.

My grandfather told me a version of this story and I have been lucky to tell my kids (who loved it). Our version: There was once a boy that was born with a golden screw where his b…

The way you describe it sounds like a micro trickle-down wealth redistribution rather than making sure someone has a fair wage. Personally I find this really frustrating. You're no…
