"There’s little evidence slouching is unhealthy. So why do Americans believe so firmly in sitting up straight?"

Perhaps sqlite-vss? It adds vector searches to sqlite.

Convenience. Rice cookers are very much fire-and-forget systems.

Huh! Coincidentally YouTube suggested this older video about _benshi_ to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWc__spYakA

Things have changed. EPUB works now, and MOBI is no longer supported.

This presentation explores how Indigenous cultural knowledge can be used as a framework for computing science and computer programming. First, this conversation introduces decolonial computing and some of the problems with “culture-agnostic” or “culture-neutral” computing initiatives. It then proposes an Indigenization of computer science to disrupt established western design principles in computing by focusing on culturally-specific interfacing in digital technologies and computer programming.

Regional variation? When I was growing up (in California, in the 1970s and 80s), we called them chalkboards because, you know, you used chalk to write on them. Also, they were often green.

Do you call it 'soda' or 'pop'?

One can also pay through ACH, so it's not like they're completely cut off from the traditional financial systems.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of their users use each payment method.

It is, indeed, a valid an interesting opinion; but, given the situation, this might not be the exact time and place to feel the need to express it.

I did not find it hard to not make assumptions. Perhaps it's your approach to life that needs examining?

Stuff like this is part of the price we pay for freedom I suppose.

That's really easy to say when you (and, honestly, I) are not the ones paying that price.

What camera do you use?

That's awesome, but once you find an itinerary you want, how do you book the flight? Do you usually go to the individual airlines' websites and rebuild the itinerary by hand? Or do you send the 'fare construction' string over to a travel agent?

They did! For example, https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonGoSnap/top/?sort=top&t=all

This is also the subject of the latest "Seriously..."

Who said anything about taking out a fraudulent loan?

Until the airline crew conclude that hiding the title of the book one is reading is equally suspicious. After all, innocent people have nothing to hide, right?

Here's a direct link to the Andy Grove's opinion piece referenced in the article: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2010-07-01/andy-grove...

Fear of violent crime. I'm not saying it's reasonable (statistically speaking), just that it's there.

Trade secrets are already specifically protected, even without non-compete clauses (https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/trade_secret). A former employee that divulges trade secrets will get into trouble for violating that.

"Streaming is available in Safari, and through the WWDC app."

It's 2015! I didn't think 'Best Viewed with Internet Explorer' was a thing anymore.

And to pile on, whose bright idea was it to add items that aren't even available? Cinder, Eight, and Nebia look cool and all, but summer 2016 is a little too late for a holiday gift, n'est-ce pas?

Haha. And did she vote to convict or aquit?

Barbara Oakley talks about this in her talk at Google, "Learning How to Learn".

She says Edison did the same thing too, but had a handful of ball bearings instead of a key.

Ok, thanks. I read that, but I thought there might be some other, more dire reports of its use. I guess we just differ on what it means to destroy a book. When I read Jason's comment, it sounded like he was saying that the linear book scanner rendered the book unusable after scanning.

Why does he say the Linear Book Scanner (https://code.google.com/p/linear-book-scanner/) destroys books? I thought the idea of the Linear Book Scanner was to automatically scan books without cutting the binding.

Anyhow, cool project.

Or, if you want, you can go straight to Prof. Nguyễn's youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/thang010146/videos?sort=p&view=...

He gave the same (or at least substantially similar) talk at SCaLE this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RH7m5LYv5s
