Imagine that an entity knows your worst fears, deepest desires, biggest perversions, most sensitive insecurities, the people you love, the people you hate, the things you covet. Now let's pretend that they know how to use this informat

I don't disagree with you and I trust you to make the distinction between the two things. However, I don't trust lawmakers/police/military to have the same sense of nuance.

I appreciate your desire to solve the problem, and I'm certainly pro-vaccination. However, I really don't want to set another precedent of allowing the state to permanently detain people because of perceived public danger (real or

If a product is on Amazon and listed as keto, it would probably meet the curation standards I set. I look primarily at the macro-nutrients to decide whether to include it in my collection. However, there are a great number of keto friendly

That's a great idea! I'll make a note to do that.

That's correct -- I hand curated the products and entered their nutrition info. The actual application is the product funnel / data entry side. My goal is to create a curated, searchable list of keto-friendly products.

Hey! Creator here. KetoHunt is a simple web app I built a while back while searching for foods I could eat on my ketogenic diet. It's nothing special, just a simple Rails app and a mailing list. I try to add a few products per day and

Not OP, but the respect comes from the idea that the food exists and you're able to eat it. We are extraordinarily lucky (or as religious folks might say, blessed) to live in a time where being ambivalent about dinner-time is an option

These are perhaps the best laid out articles I've ever seen (example: https://quicksilver.primer.ai/Adrian_J._Luckman/ ). Not only is the typography stunning, but there's no friction between the reader and the

Not sure what you mean by "really senior", but I've been professionally programming for the last 8 years and it still happens to me. The embarrassment has lessened and it's less frequent, but it does happen.

The article makes an extraordinarily valuable point: It's never going to be only about hard work. But as an outside observer I also look at what she's done and think "This is such a good example of perseverance and grit.&quot

Some people are more influential than others. Money is only one vector of influence. He's rhetorically asking whether we should regulate the other vectors with hope that no one person has more influence than anyone else.

FWIW, I don't feel like Clicker Heroes handles micro-transactions in a scummy way. It's not pay to win/play because it's literally impossible to win and you offer an alternate way to obtain the in-game currency (rubies,

I'm debating the merits of this right now. For the moment, I'm not charging for my beta. I have received some good feedback so far, but people haven't been as active using it as I would like. I'm wondering whether it wou

Nice work! I thought I had a pretty good handle on the local beer in Kentucky, but apparently I've missed a few. Any chance you'd build an API around this?

There are ~260 million automobiles on the road in America. There are a statistically insignificant number of self-driving automobiles. I _suspect_ that self-driving vehicles are going to reduce traffic accidents when deployed en masse. Howe

You're right -- this is astro-turfing. No content specifically about Vue.js. I propose changing the title to something like "Deploying a Cosmic JS Website in 4 Steps".

Correct, and we're not planning on storing them for a decade. We have the year they were acquired on each paper bag of them. Old ones will get removed, new ones will take their place.

Honestly, I think this explains quite a bit. I grew up fairly poor (single income household in Appalachia). I had to train myself out of a lot of speech patterns / mannerisms that don't fly in other parts of America. It's unf
