Age is probably one of the metrics that could take the longest to abuse, since it directly goes against the instant-gratification that the agent-runners are looking for. Requiring the a repo be around for a couple months doesn't sound too bad.

Someone might grab an old repository and just keep force-pushing new content and thus repurposing it, but if you can find a quick check against that (probably a log somewhere), I think it has a fairly good chance of weeding out the noise.

I got a very realistic one a while ago. It automatically activates when I open my front door. Very high resolution, multiplayer game play needs improvement.

For the streaming services, its far easier to negotiate a contract with one advertiser than it is to raise your price for X customers and reach the same revenue increase. If they don't believe they'll lose more customers than they gain revenue, the move is inevitable.

Capitalism requires users to vote with their wallets. And advertising still isn't enough of a deterrent to most users to vote differently. Books and grass don't have ads.

The only reason I know this is the West Wing. I guess some TV applies in the real world too...

I'm all for "learning for the sake of learning", but the federal government doesn't need to subsidize it. Losing federal aid is not the same as not permitting colleges to run the programs at all. Supply/demand is still alive and well.

> Save a vibe today and send an IM instead of an email thread.

I would rather the email honestly. IMs usually have the expectation that I'm going to respond to you "soon", which is an interruption/distraction. And they don't contain enough information so I have to start going back and forth with the other person.

At least with email, most people recognize that you will respond in your own timing in the next 24-48 hours. With IM I've found that expectation out the window.

Save the distraction. Send an email.

Too much domain knowledge for an IDE to catch. I'm self taught as well, and it comes down to spending more time thinking about the code than writing the code.

It's a fairly simple thought experiment to ask yourself what if there was 10x items in this array? 100x? That is essentially what the O(n) notation is trying to quantify. You just don't need to do it that formally.

This is a plague on both houses. People want stability and reliability, not drama. And what they're getting feels and awful lot like drama.

This makes me _not_ want to get a Tesla, just to avoid the inconvenience of getting my car towed because of what it _might_ have inside of it. And the opposite, doing what Ring is doing and simply streaming it to the police directly, might be easier but I still believe a major privacy concern.

Sure, it could be helpful. But at what cost?

> Every currently rich person has done...

That's a pretty broad statement to make, especially with the implication that the only way you can become rich is by basically committing borderline fraud.

If you want to get rich, spend less, save and invest more. Nothing about that is fraudulent, and many would argue you'd have a more fulfilling life in the process.

I agree - they are exercising the principle of opportunity cost. While most parents probably would make more than the $700 / month, the value might simply not be worth it.

I remember a study that concluded that in reality, there is a cap on how much additional money improves your day-to-day life. And if a family is already past that on one income, why do you need two?

Was also looking for a color legend. I can generally understand the different colors/layers, but was initially confused.

Text that explains exactly what each color refers to would be helpful.
