+1 to this point. I also find it easier to read certain philosophers than others because they themselves seem to be empathetic in the way they write their thinking. Almost as if they know that they could be wrong about the conclusions they&

The power of mass usage comes into play here. IIRC, when WhatsApp launched, I was one of the early adopters. As it grew (and it became hugely popular in Brazil, where I lived) they switched to the $1/year model. Current users were auto

I was actually wondering what the data considers "immigration". This shows no African countries light up until around the 90s but that's somewhat incorrectly categorizing influx of people into the US as it ignores "force

They are also smart enough to know that their opinions matter within the company, and they can affect positive change. This open letter is one mechanism for doing that.

Space debris is a huge problem. One car gets hit bit tiny debris at any point, and the number of debris flying around multiplies.

The US produces a lot of corn, so it is cheap. And corn syrup is a sugar-substitute, so including it in everything makes things taste more addictive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bliss_point_(food)

There's a lot of things to do in TensorFlow that involve a lot of work (and could even be its own project). Namely support for dynamic computation graphs (a-lá PyTorch). TF as it is is great for production, and even for research, but a

What I don't like about the hyperloop is its focus on cars as a solution to the transportation problem. Mass transit can be way more efficient and desirable, as well as allow pedestrians to take back city life. A great book on topics r
