I concur, tons of Kickstarters dupe people out of their money and deliver a really bad product. Pewdiepie once played a game like that and trashed it rightfully which lead to the developer crying online and throwing a fit like "I give up" which was sort of big news in video game forums and websites. Seeing a good product is what helped.

Off topic, they're still calling them "anti-semitic videos" straight faced which would lead someone to believe they weren't "jokes" but serious posts which is not cool.

That sounds good in theory but there are a plethora of jobs that the general category people can't get now, there's no way this is equality. I didn't do a good job explaining the situation it was just an overview, I'd be okay with this but in practise this is really harmful and will go on because they hold the votes.

I always look at affirmative action in the US with the perspective of someone looking at the reservations given to the "lower castes" in India to make up for the oppression of the past. If a "general category" (upper caste) guy and a "lower caste" guy with the same financial history appear for an examination to get into a Law College, Engineering College, Medical, etc then they lower caste person needs to achieve much less scores to get in. They have seats reserved for them which can never be transferred to a general category person even if no reservation caste person decides to appear for the exam.

You can't blame people if they are apprehensive about going to a doctor who comes from the lower caste, you'll always doubt his skills because he had it easier.

Hyperloop One just crossed 309 kmph. Cool.

Will this ever get implemented in Google Photos automatic editing?

That was based on real events though, aren't Silicon Valley people also using Ketamine to cure depression?

So fucking what. I can't ask questions?

It might be harder to do but it should be both since I use throwaway emails for new sites I discover but don't trust and remember the usernames. And register with email so I could do password recovery in cases I trust. I'm sure a lot of people do this.

Found this on this site, parallax.js wedding invitation. This is cool, how hard is it to learn how to do this?

Wow thanks for all the hard work, how do you keep track of all the books that are in progress. Is there a subreddit I can follow?

Great job on the website I can understand the hug problems I'm sure it's more stable otherwise, how long has this been going on btw?

I've been meaning to read Don Quixote for a while now just downloaded it, hope I find the strength to start it.

Okay that was quite hard to read, any reason for no formatting at all?

(i.e. sells their customers' data to advertisers)

They take the ads, and distribute them to their users based on user taste that's their secret sauce. Giving user data to advertisers would be giving away their secrets I think.

Anyone know how to execute a mail bomb?

Saw an article about this on The Outline a month ago, it's a more informal and harsher take on this

Wired recently did a test on major AI assistants with different accents and Google Assistant won every round (they gave the first round to siri for some reason but if you watch the video Assistant clearly won that round too)

It was astonishing how right Assistant can be

Yep especially when it comes to politics people should not be trusting these sites but they increasingly do.

I have to say I am subscribed to Vox cause they do good videos from time to time about music, comics, how stuff came to be, etc but they're horrible when they start talking politics

Yeah that might be true but I like the site, I hope they don't fall like buzzfeed

Why would you say that? Other than an occasional article like this they seem to have pretty good and in-depth stuff on space, cyber security, in-depth reviews (they're horrible at times I'll give you that)

Wow that's a big one then, I wasn't a Computer Science student but I like tech. Tried to learn Java a couple years ago and gave up, decided to go with HTML/CSS on Codeacademy as baby steps and did Javascript from there. If Kotlin is easier than that I'll definitely try to learn it ASAP I'm really interested.

Good video on this "Why you shouldn't trust successful people's advice"

Okay thanks, maybe I'll go into it through Java.

Is it easy to learn for someone who doesn't know any programming languages beforehand? Like I only know a bit of JavaScript

I really have no idea what any of that means, no Android then?

If only Lyft could expand to more countries I'd love to try it.

India has already offered incentives for Tesla to open up car factories before they decided to go with China first IIRC. Piyush Goyal (minister of renewable energy, mines) still seems to be a fan of Tesla

You're putting way too much trust on a company that constantly screws over it's customers to earn some more money by removing ports, putting functionality behind paywall (looking at you Safari extension costs), etc. They're better than Android phones in these matters but their financial position might change some day and they might do it.
