Every government office could take a lesson in well designed interfaces. Imagine how much smoother the DMV would be if someone had actually made the process designed to be as simple of an "interface" as possible. I know I'm probably hoping for too much, but maybe designing these web APIs will teach them a thing or two about how they might improve the efficiency of their offices as a whole.
Wouldn't this be much more significant if the effects were found to last longer than, say, 3 days? I was actually under the impression that ketamine and psychedelics had been shown in the past to do just that.
I've always wondered if cyber criminals have tons of undiscovered security holes in Windows and other major pieces of software that they just don't release.
A complete digression, but I see people say this all the time: when they want to use the "take with a grain of salt" metaphor, they increase the amount of salt to try to make it seem like the information is even more untrue.
But the whole point of the "grain of salt" metaphor is that it's so minuscule as to make no difference. So it would make more sense to say "take it with a half grain of salt," since that would imply the information is even more useless.
Also, why would using virtualenv make anything easier? If anything, it's slightly more of a pain. Once you learn it, it's fine, but it's certainly not something I think about on a daily basis, and it sure isn't impacting my enjoyment of the language.
I'd say shyness is an actual fear while introversion is an option for how to spend your time. No one likes being shy, period. The closest thing they can say that will convince me is that they like being introverted. Which is fine, but as a chronically shy person who has worked to overcome it, they need to make sure it isn't an excuse to not improve themselves. Getting comfortable enough with oneself that they can be introverted when they wish is, in my opinion, the goal.
I could see myself using that up legitimately over the course of my life. Now, of course, you could argue that the servers aren't expected to be up that long, but even over the next 5 years I could see myself doing that:
I have a work computer and a home computer. I download them on both. My home computer fucks up and I have to reformat, so I re-download it (I forgot to back up this particular performance). I'm at a friend's house and I want to play a sample for him (which he later buys). Now I'm up to my four, and they were all legitimate uses.
They should pad it enough that someone who paid for it could download it liberally (~20) but mass distribution of the link (100+) would fail quickly. And hell, he could even send an email to the owner if the link started receiving a ton of traffic.
I mean honestly, isn't the problem the same on consoles? It seems like 90% of new games that come out are "meh". Every time a super hero movie comes out you can be guaranteed a shitty version will hit the Xbox as well.
What other ideas do you see for developers in non-technical niches to get passive income? All I can really think of is stuff relevant to other tech industries.
I think this has the potential to revolutionize higher education given enough time. With two of the most prestigious institutions in the country offering knowledge for free, it will get harder for other universities to rationalize the exorbitant cost of their education.
Once full fledged video of lectures and ways to interact with others who have knowledge in the field comes into play, this will really become a heavy hitter.
Just kidding of course.
Can anyone see this by the way? I think I've been shadow banned for apparently no reason.
