From the little "Sloth" wrote, it sounds like it's possible she might have undiagnosed ADHD.

As someone with ADHD myself, I instantly recognized the inability to get myself to start working on something until the last minute (even if I really, really want to do it) and the piles clothes (despite my propensity for cleanliness). Another hallmark of ADHD that many don't know about is bursts of almost manic productivity for random tasks or when under extreme pressure.

If she does have ADHD, Polly's answer is both unhelpful and somewhat dangerous.

If you have enough karma there's a "flag" button, but I don't see any reason to flag PR pieces that have useful information in them

Great article, but misleading title. These YouTube videos do a good job of teaching armatures (like myself) small details of movie making, but they don’t come close to a film school education (which itself is far away from getting experience making films and working under world-class movie makers)

It’s a PR-driven interest piece, like a lot of what Wired and similar publications publish

There's a huge generational shift going on. It used to be that everybody owned a home, often starting in their 20's but definitely by their 30's. Now more and more people are still renting into their 30's

Housing costs in America have gone through the roof, so it's much harder to afford a down-payment. Also, it's generally said that millennials place a higher value on mobility and prefer to live in urban cores, where more of the housing is rentals and there are fewer single-family homes.

For awhile I’ve wanted to build a hat that automatically takes a picture of every dog that I see. This looks like it could be a great start for that project.

I'm pretty sure Facebook already has plenty of training data of faces

This comment is unfortunately not about the article, because I can’t view it on my iPhone. The link automatically opens up the app, but then the app doesn’t go to the article. Does anyone know how to get around this issue?

Haven't watched this specific video, but from what I've read previously he's suing so that the courts can determine who owns the land so he can fairly pay them. Many people own tiny slices of land that they don't have any practical use for (because of how Hawaiian land gets passed down through generations), and Mark owns the vast majority of the island, so he's trying to fairly compensate the remaining land owners.

Also, he apparently dropped the lawsuit after the uproar.

Here appears to be a few of the creatures, from back in 2013: https://codepen.io/bennettfeely/pen/tfbCo

Did you read the article? Pretty sure the vast majority of people living in Columbus, IN are in single-family homes.

The idea that the entire building isn't built directly on the street/sidewalk. For example, many cities have rules that the first few floors can be built to the lot line, but then anything taller needs to be "set back" a number of feet. In theory, this should allow for more light to reach the street, but it often results in buildings that look like wedding cakes and waste a huge amount of space.

Have you ever tried to memorize a precise coordinate?

The fourth person in the picture is Evan, our CTO. He wasn't a founder.

I left the company to pursue other interests

I’ve never thought about this, but what3words could be hugely helpful for me. My house is essentially located between two streets, and the street name in the address isn’t the actual street where my mailbox is or where you’d enter the gate, so loosing packages is common and it’s hard to explain to friends how to find me

I'm a senior in college now. This was something I worked on from the beginning of high school until this May.

I read Daemon in middle school and became so obsessed with augmented reality that I essentially devoted the next seven years of my life to working towards making it happen: attending conferences, conducting research, and starting an AR hardware company.

So no, you're not the only one :)

Also, unrelated to my previous obsession with AR, I have prosopagnosia, so having glasses that could tell me who I'm looking at would make a major improvement to my life.

There's an add-injection infection going around today. A lot of sites are getting this.

Well, the founders’ shares are usually locked up for months after the IPO, right? More like the VC investors and company missed out on some of their money (which is less than 30% for a 30% rise)

OR she’ll be the one person in her grade without it, get isolated from social activity, and get detached from her friends. (Coming from first-hand experience of someone whose parents restricted them from video games and social media)

It’s part marketing campaign, part pre-sales to prove demand with an easy out if nobody wants to buy it. There’s nothing wrong or unethical about it IMO

They could have so easily prevented the controversy by labeling it "based on a story by Mark Twain" instead of "By Mark Twain"

That's literally the same project this article is about

This would be a really great small-generator alternative for hurricane zones

I love how they invent an idealized scenario to come up with the 800% number. Good marketing, I guess.

I believe this was true of the first few generations of iPhones, but is no longer the case

Basically the plot of Inherent Vice (the move at least)

It's definitely possible to live a middle-class lifestyle with a $150k/year salary in SV, although you'll likely have to give up some comforts you may be used to (and also remember taxes are much higher in CA). Would your wife consider working once you move? $180-200k of household income is much more livable.

The biggest thing you might want to consider that you may not be thinking about is the lifestyle difference. The weather is mild year-long here, which means not having to deal with Ohio winters. If you like outdoorsey stuff, hiking/camping/etc are huge here, and it's a day's drive to ski resorts. You'll need to own a car here, but depending on where you live you may be able to take public transport to work, and towns are very biking-accessible.
