Political correctness run amok! My company has now official guidelines that discourage 'whitelist' and 'blacklist' in new features, but I wonder how long before they make everyone go back and refactor these names. Git &#

That sounds preposterous. Do you have more info on this? EDIT: From the Discord TOS - https://discord.com/new/terms As an example, you agree not to use the Service in order to: - post, upload, transmit or otherwise dis

That's really sad. Hipmunk has been the only way I've found flights for the last several years, and I always loved it! Personally, I don't know what else to use instead.

I'm curious, how ridiculous? I'm not at FANG but I've considered making the jump. But good luck to you. There are always game companies you can go work at for a lot less!

Dark mode is my favorite and I appreciate more apps and websites adding support. Recently I've seen Slack and Perforce finally get official dark themes. For websites that don't have good dark themes or user styles, you can use the

I don't understand how he could contribute to the field of AGI research from home, by himself, and maybe with his son. It's the kind of problem that requires incredible amounts of data, hardware, and theory to make any progress. W

I can't imagine what it would be like, and I'm terribly sorry that this happened to you. BUT what's the limiting principle behind 'forcing' companies to provide 'a great deal of leave' for this? I certainl

32) Be a doer, not a talker. I try to be a doer, and I'm often frustrated at work by talkers, but the feeling is tempered by this: 26) Don’t screw people and don’t burn bridges. Pick your battles carefully.

“Boys, do you want to do some action in front of the camera?” they said the Russian journalists asked them. Mr. Saleh later took a Danish journalist to meet two of the young men. After searching online, they recognized the logo of the Russ

One of the major disadvantages of LIDAR is poorer performance in rain, snow, and fog, which are quite common in many parts of the world. I'm surprised that isn't being discussed more.

Nice visualizations on the homepage! Cool that one is interactive, but some hijack the scroll event and the right-click menu. Also the super light contrast on the de-emphasized text makes a lot of the content hard to read.

Perhaps a different way of asking the question is 'will the rich be buying the best genes?' And the answer is 'yes' because they already are, in limited ways. But we may be overlooking the breadth of the 'rich'

Heads up, if your company is paying for your service, they can see who you're calling and texting. I'm not saying that's unreasonable, but I've heard of employees getting caught leaking by communicating through cell plan

Medium is now limiting the number of posts one can read before signing up with a Google or Facebook account. Is there a reasonable workaround for this that doesn't require signing in? EDIT: I suppose private browsing works well.

This is true, and an arbitrary stance like certain videos on your phone prevent entry into the US isn't appropriate. But at the same time, any country reserves the right to deny entry based on reasonable criteria. It's just a ques

How will this service succeed where so many others have failed? The audience, algorithm, and network effects of YouTube are what make it a valuable and viable platform for content creators. You can't put this content behind the paywall

Yeah I didn't have the dry eyes, but I did have some nosebleeds 2-3 times a week for a while. The dry skin was the worst part for me, and I kept having to moisturize my face here at work. I also wasn't used to chap stick before, b

Slightly off topic, but one medicine that really does work is Accutane (Isotretinoin) for cystic acne, and I'm super grateful for it. If you still have acne, I highly recommend trying it. I came across it on reddit a while back and it&

I wanted to use Waterfox, but I wasn't sure about the security side of things. When vulnerabilities are found in Firefox, we can expect them to be fixed pretty quickly. Can the same be said for this project?

This is actually a very insightful comment. I don't have experience with the VC part at the end, but tight iteration and measurement loops are key, especially early on.

Here's a link to the github (AGPL 3.0) - https://github.com/winkjs/wink-lemmatizer Very cool! It looks like this is only for English at the moment, but it would be cool to see this for other languages as well.
