This $20/hr beauty booth seems like a horrifying way to exploit people's insecurity for profit.
Then again, .ai is a pretty expensive TLD. Somebody's gotta pay the bills.
What if users don't want you taking control of their computer?
"meant to be fabulous" is a weird construction.
Scott, did you flag my other reply to this comment?
Sounds like you have a lot of internalized self-hate. You certainly have a lot of guts saying this on an account attached to your name and resume.
I really don't care what you have to say, and I don't like you, but I don't particularly hate you. Happy?
You think anything that is an attack should be illegal?
It's called an abstract, and it's a thing for scientific papers. If you want literally none of the human side of a story or discovery, research papers are a great solution and don't need to be recompiled from longform journalism.
If you want concise descriptions of science, read the papers or abstracts. Complaining about journalistic style will literally get you nowhere.
Edit: yes, please flag me because I upset you by providing helpful information. That's definitely not an abuse of power.
Pieces of paper work pretty well.
Edit: literally any text data storage medium that can be powered down and locked in a safe will work perfectly well for any of this. It doesn't matter if it's a flash drive, floppy disk, CD ROM, piece of paper, or sheet of gold with characters scratched into it. Literally anything will work. You do not have to buy these $50 glorified flash drives to store your bitcoin.
No, we don't. You might want to, but nobody else cares.
When did the Luddites come out of the woodwork?

I recently had a conversation with some undergraduates in a physics program; what they told me is quite telling. Some of them work 40-60 hours per week on classes, often more than five per semester, and are very obviously burnt out.When asked what they would do if given a job offer from AMD, Intel, or some other company for a fulltime position with a salary around $60-80k/year, they remarked...
Can an entire society perpetuate itself given that all members always make empirically bad decisions that work out in the end?
I don't see the algorithmically generated solutions as pretty, but the hand-drawn ones seem to have almost fractal detail and are really nice to look at.
Did you want them to say "This guy is a crank!" several hundred times to fill up space? How are we ever supposed to learn anything new if everything is run through your hypothetical credibility filter first?
I think this is pretty close to what Linus Torvalds does with his kids, but I might be mistaken.
> My hyper intelligent kid was able to direct himself to all kinds of educational content
Is this the same child that was convinced sleeping under a tree would be fatal?
He obviously likes the iPad more than the laptop. As a kid, I would tear the keys out of mechanical keyboards all the time out of curiosity and boredom, but that didn't break them.
> They can use them prior to typing, reading or even fully speaking.
Are you trying to say that this is a good thing? Do we expect our children to be able, say, to speak English?
I think the point with #797 is that the artists for each line are different, and thus there is compounding error. As it is, each line is identical to the last except for color.
One thing I am reminded of as I look at this page is that university sites almost never have advertisements on them. Can't say I miss phys.org or iflscience.
Why do they even have iPads? At least with a $100-200 laptop/chromebook they can learn things and build typing skills. Tablets are literally impossible (even for adults) to be productive on.
Google simply can't afford to be seen losing money on Youtube anymore - and the real economics of the situation are finally here. Easy money for producers is gone, and so is good ad-free content for viewers.
