Funny that as Discord releases a light theme, Slack releases a dark theme. But in seriousness, does Slack really have any value proposition over Discord beyond Screen Hero these days? I switched my organization over to Discord based on the

Yeah, I've been making that argument since Musk and Bezos first announced their intentions (though I usually used terraforming Arizona as an example as that state has become one of the largest polluters per capita in the US). But the a

Yeah I personally stopped buy chicken years ago for mostly ethical reasons but I think Costco getting into the chicken game will probably be a net positive. Reason being that for one, Costco was one of the first grocers to start replacing i

I was using Ubuntu exclusively for around a decade too. It's a great development environment. But about a year ago I needed a new laptop and with the one I purchased, some things didn't only require extra steps to get working, som

Could you expand on what you mean by "seen multiple friend's mental health deteriorate"? Also don't be so quick to assume there's a legitimate correlation... it could be sampling/observational error.

This. Trying to make the software "theirs" seems to be an issue at Google, at least with their open source software and has seemed to have lead to it being less reliable. For example, Angular Material v1 was one of the most comple

Eh... There was a toll lane added from just outside Boulder part way to Denver. This has not generated more traffic, but it has generally speed up the road (sometimes to an undesirable extent as faster moving vehicles make more noise). They

I use Trello to stay on task, easy to manage daily to-do lists while being able to just push everything to the next day and also managing long-term lists. It lets you comment, add files or links, create internal check-lists for each card, h

Hey sorry for the delay, it was at the end of the second tutorial "Our First Neural Net!" I think you were instructing us to try testing the outputs for the other sets in the training data which all work as expected, but I took th

Sorry I didn't see this immediately, I don't think that downloading the next episode is a dark pattern in and of itself. But I do think downloading the next app over mobile when the description explicitly says it wouldn't is

Yeah definitely. When I said "a desktop" I was trying to say pretty much any desktop, even you mom's 15 year old Dell Dimension desktop, which many phones these days are more powerful than - and the majority of Fortnite'

I think you're missing a lot of what contributed to Fortnite's success. Namely their ripping off of pretty much every one of Valve's most lucrative decisions of the past 10 years and in principle - Free to play. Fortnite was

Netflix seems like its just a dishonest company. I had been a customer of theirs for years, starting with the DVD rental. After a while they started adding the streaming content which was cool, but then they eventually separated the two ser

It's incredible. The last company I worked for before going it alone (I was the front-end engineer and moved away from ML based business models) was trying to automate statistical analysis. I came from an academic background in economi

Hey Axel! Just started watching but the interactive guide is incredible. It's like having Screenhero with a private tutor. Only thing is, I kind of wish there were something like the time-coded comments SoundCloud has. At the end of th

I'm an Eagle Scout too and I guess I don't really have a strong opinion because scouting here in CO is fundamentally different in my eyes than what I grew up with in CA. In my troop, once a year we'd spend one weekend spreadi

Based on personal experience, I doubt $50k in credit card debt was what was planned for and probably came out of necessity to finish the thing. Fund-raising takes a lot of mental space on its own which comes at a high premium when you'

Nothing about the Boy Scouts is really gender specific, beyond their requirement to be male that's set to be amended in February. I don't understand how "Scouts BSA" is a violation of any trademarks that the Girl Scouts

Also, reading the study further: despite the fact that the author of the article may have been paraphrasing a statement in the abstract conclusion, the study seems to mostly undermine that premise as it shows an inverse relationship between

This is a fine idea if you use the money to subsidize free public transportation in the form of buses, trains and bike-shares and education on how to use them. Heck, go ahead and tax gasoline at 100% while you're at it. The problem is

So I would love to get some feedback from this group on my takeaway from what I've learned of global warming. The general consensus seems to be that gasses like carbon dioxide and methane heat cause an increase in global warming. I don

Sure and while you're at it why not implement cameras all over every roadway to automatically ticket you every time you break the speed limit. Or better yet, why not devise a real time geolocation device to be embedded in cars and then

I think a big issue you're nodding to is localized definitions. For instance, why must you legally have a privacy policy? Because of a law in California. What does that privacy policy entail? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You can write a privacy poli

Do you live in the bay area? I live in Colorado (the first state to legalize recreational use) and I never smell weed on the streets. When I was traveling to the bay area for work (while it still wasn't legalized), everywhere I walked

Tableau has removed the view entirely so I can't even see the broken views your talking about but regarding Boulder... It doesn't have a worse ratio (assuming you're talking about the gender ratio the bay - though this is par
