Yeah, neither can I. Lucky for both of us, that is not what this application is about.

If you want to compose even better emails, learn how to be good with formatting. The linked article makes a fine case of how to. Just like paragraphs (which are just another form of formatting) using indentations, list items, font weights a

Yes. But more importantly, that was a Futurama reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cjx4gJFME0

Getting in touch with two foreign languages in school is not uncommon, but speaking up to four (including your mother tongue) with any sort of sophistication definitely is not normal, at least in western Europe.

Apologies, I should have been more precise: A cpu will win when you start isolating and creating a scenario to test for APM and TTFA (obviously), so if you are interested in advancing strategic and tactical AI capabilities – basically out-t

It comes down to what you are interested in. Right now DeepMind seems to be focused on beating humans on strategy and tactics, which is reasonable, since those are the contested areas and cpu winning on APM and TTFA has been solved for long

Well, since you can literally build game engines in free spreadsheet apps, probably none, but, as you noticed yourself, the selling point is the UX/UI, which seems to be excellent.

Any game/activity that you have to join a club and pay a membership for (i.e. Golf, Tennis) and also play professionally would qualify, so a subset of entertainment, engagement, excitement, relaxation, thrill.

To be clear, this is not Spotify blocking small artists without a label getting on Spotify. This is about bands not being able to upload directly , requiring them to use any of the cheaply available distributors instead. This is mostly lik

Nope. Just like physics is exactly not how an atom bomb got dropped -- in an extremely important distinction between physics and atom bomb dropping -- there is a very important distinction between government intervention and going to war. I

When things go bad government should intervene to protect people. These steps are always going to be extraordinary, because the situation is extraordinary, but it is the very role of government to apply necessary fixes without false pride f

It gets tricky as soon as you need labels and/or more complicated visual feedback attached to "dumb" buttons. The touchscreen is "lazy" in that it can defer thinking hard about your problem space and I can see why t

Seems like a really obnoxious way to communicate though. If they want somebody to do their best work and really do not care how much time it takes them to get there, they should just be upfront about it: "You have until next Monday, go

Rocket League is mostly about its potential as an esport. Buying everything seems like the straight forward way to handle this.

I do not think it is that clear cut. Unless the bank assumes full responsibility for any kind of security breach, including social engineering, you need to be allowed to take care of protecting yourself (including the crucial step of test

Really cool! And not only that but very intuitive and fun to use. I can see a lot of music makers who lack the theoretical background get great results out of this.

This sentiment really, really bothers me. Yes, in reality humans are all sorts of weird, creepy, flawed, not super happy or good looking. If this is what you risk when sharing on the internet, then maybe highly curated social media and the

I don't think any of these points are particularly strong, and yet any bet against a new venture is a safe bet, because failure is the overwhelmingly likely outcome.

Expecting a few human beings, who all are involved in a stressful situation and have probably no philosophical inclinations, to come up with a morally sound choice on the spot seems like a tall order.

It's not a trade-off! We as a species absolutely require people to have kids. Discriminating against those who do is the most fundamantally wrong thing I can think of. It is what we are here for, if nothing else.

Interesting perspective. In my mind, the fact that any one developer has the tools to think up, create and launch applications that deeply alter our society, has already done more harm than any single doctor has ever done and probably could

Music production, just as any other profession, works through a lot of convention. Most music has more things in common than not, just as most software or most humans have more things in common than not -- and that is completely fine. If so
