Great. What I really want is mandatory opt-in to be able to contact me. Unknown numbers get to send a single standard length SMS, carrier embeds the full legal name and, for businesses, legally registered mailing address, and I can choose w

Every year at Christmas, I get a card from a family member with a short, personal hand-written note and a 1-page, generic printed update on how their year has been, usually with some pictures. This is what I want from a social network. I wa

Thank you, kgr, for writing and posting this. I find this a much more digestible summary of the topic than the other recent posting on Statistical Process Control.

Right, this is a values problem, not a technical problem. Who should get to see Taylor Swift? How much should they pay? How should profits be distributed? These are philosophical questions. If you assume a particular set of answers to these

Judging by the majority opinion in this thread, it seems pretty clear GitHub could have asked and gotten enough people to opt-in to have no problem training their model. They probably would have been thrilled to do it and proud of being inc

We have an even better example of mistaking the numbers for the whole picture. Becoming famous for winning obscene amounts of money greatly increases your chance of being harassed, murdered, or driven to mental breakdown. The expected value

Definitely this. I have been an Android user since my first smartphone. I've been a Gmail user much longer than that. I still to this day don't have the slightest idea what the distinction between Hangouts, Chat, and Messages (and

My understanding is yes, and honestly, this was my biggest sticking point with Obsidian. I'm happy to pay for software. I pay for Dynalist pro (same team for anyone who didn't know), but the separate commercial license on top of p

Read through the thread. Look how many stories there are of people losing years and years to something that they now regret. The realization is that this is the norm , not the exception. We're all just fragile and fallible and trying

Idagio is really good for classical. Much nicer browsing than Spotify. https://www.prestomusic.com/classical also has good weekly recommendations.

Is this right? Experts in software like Jest and Storybook think an hour of specialized consulting in the software is worth only $116? There's definitely a market opportunity if this is true, but it seems too good. I do think there&#x2

Absolutely. Josh W Comeau has a fabulous article about hands-free coding that I think every developer should read: https://www.joshwcomeau.com/blog/hands-free-coding/ Everyone has a different optimum for sure.

As someone who types quite fast, if you haven't watched someone who types 20-30 wpm, then you probably haven't seen what a hindrance it can be. Yes, thinking is more important than typing, but after you've had a thought, you

So, if someone is standing trial for murder and it turns out the evidence against them was collected illegally, they will end up getting away with it even if everyone knows they did it. It's not that we value police procedure more than

Basically the same here. I looked for a way to report the issue to PayPal. There was no way to do it, so I just deleted my account and gave as a reason that PayPal didn't take fraud seriously if they didn't have a way to report &#
