As the author says, you could argue both ways - either that the internet is a great tool with a net positive effect on people (those who know how to use it and can ignore the noise) or that we have adopted it so quickly and blindly that the internet hasn't caught up with humanity, causing these harmful side effects. Sometimes I think the internet was actually better 15 years ago, all things considered.

However if we expect it to become our sixth sense, we better a) evolve faster as a species to increase our bandwidth, and/or b) humanise the internet, educate ourselves to use it better, and consume information in a more natural way. Since the former is nowhere near, I'd like to see a Richard Hendricks appear and introduce Internet 2.0 for humans. But just like the author I don't know what that "better version" really means, or what it would look like...

Pretty cool! Seems like it would be a good fit for Jupyter notebooks? Data scientists might be interested in having something more powerful than Markdown

Thanks, I'll look at this as a data source, cause bias on social is huge, students (and people in general) tend to post on socials when they have something to say, and more often than not it's to rant rather than praise.

Hi, author here! You remember StumbleUpon right? It was a great way to discover the internet, and I wanted to bring it back.

I've made the StumbleUponAwesome extension to do just that, by scraping curated lists from GitHub. Click and enjoy awesome random sites on tech and science.

Try it out on Chrome/Brave and give feedback :)

Oh neat idea, I haven't thought about those! Should be scrape-able. Also "Overheard at" pages

Hey, nice one! I wanted to try out a modern stack and also building something with Prisma 1 and GraphQL as well. Agree that the client gen is awesome. How is Prisma2, can I migrate to v2 now or is it too early?

Twitter probably wasn't the best place to start, but it's my first data science project. I need more examples of where students actively talk about their universities, like StudentRoom forums (https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/) or indeed Instagram.

Gonna be tweaking the approach over time, trying out other models and frameworks.
