Intuition always comes after the feeling of awe or confusion, in my opinion. Really depends on how you learn.

No, another link to 3Blue1Brown was posted earlier this week and hit the front page. My basic assumption is that when a topic is posted, people will explore that topic and, if it's interesting enough, post further content about that topic.

I actually have a modified version of SICP being used as a textbook for one of my classes -- it's called Composing Programs.

Ah I get what you're saying. So FitBit doesn't allow other sites to access your data stored. What the heck, I feel like that would damage their utility.

The charge 2 is the same price as the old one -- but I'd agree if they could put an actual gps tracker on a $150 watch -- like with polar m200 -- it'd be a better competitor to other fitness bands.

I can see why there's no direct integration -- isn't it better for a company to ask permission for your data before using it? Like how if you want to sign up for a website through Facebook or Google, they ask first.

I've had mine for more than a year and a half -- my charge hr hasn't failed yet. But my cousins' have, which leads me to wonder what if the issue is user-caused.

I have a charge hr -- mostly for silent alarms to wake me up without disturbing my roommates, and timer function in case I need to track something. Oddly enough I don't care about the step counter or the heartrate sensor.

I feel like buying a Surface just to have drawing capabilities is expensive -- why not just make a screen ascessory that lays onto of your keyboard (or not) and plugs in via USB-C?

But now they got bought out by FitBit after going too much in debt (?).

Bought out by Facebook -- which is not the norm of most crowdfunded companies. In my personal belief, the crowdfunding model as it exists now is not a form of investment that will scale well. When a kickstarter company fails, it's not liable to all the people it took money from unless by fraudulent circumstances. What I believe will be more viable is a crowdsourced capital fund where an executive acts as a trustee representative and makes investing decisions for us.

I'm going to guess that the person also uses Google docs and or slides which is mostly web-based -- yes you can download it for offline use but that's a hassle.

Yes, Bitcoin has many competitors but it is the only cryptocurrency to have achieved 'mass' adoption. When you think of the pinnacle digital currency, it's Bitcoin -- that has value to consumers and merchants, more than other currencies regardless of their features.

Eh, that would probably mean I'm an outlier -- considering I spend most of my time reading rather than watching videos on Youtube or Facebook.

I'd admit that Medium has occasionally weird stuff on its frontpage -- but doesn't every website where content is written by its community have that? Just create an account and browse for a few days to get stories tailored to you. Honestly, I'm fine with Medium as it is because it exposes me to stories I wouldn't have else read.
