Neat!

You realize the models you’re running locally had to be trained the same way as the proprietary ones, right?

No, GDPR is exactly what allows anyone to sue corporations with any chance of success and impact.

They basically skipped cards and moved from cash to app transfers. QR code is a natural extension of the app to make contactless payments accessible.

I know how it works and I’ve seen coffee plants in real life. I didn’t know the fruit is called a cherry in English. They don’t look much like cherries apart from being red…

I guess you mean “berries”

I took up online tutoring and teaching programming for kids. It has great benefits:

• It’s an hour or so after work, it has a fixed schedule so it forces me to clock out
• it makes me focus hard so I completely forget about work
• it pays for itself (not my corporate day-job rate, but I’m not doing it for free)
• I can try out languages and tech I’d normally wouldn’t be able to in my day job, or I’d have to invest my free time for a side project
• I have a background in teaching… I like it, it’s fun and refreshing
• I’ve helped many kids jump start their interest in programming even in families that know nothing about tech at all. I’ve helped a few of them to get accepted to the school they wanted to and pursue a career in programming

All in all, teaching after work makes for a great hobby and a strong barrier for my day job so I don’t find myself working late anymore.

Homeopathy was developed and thriving in an era when “do nothing” was better for the patient than contemporary accepted treatments.

Hi, I found the game giveaway post. I’d love to give Super Cable Guy a try with my friend. Thanks for the giveaway!

The heat death of the universe is technically a deadline, right?

I worked in China for a couple years on a banking app for lending money. The middle class in large cities over there was interested only in social status. They would happily borrow insane amounts for the newest phones and biggest cars, when they couldn’t afford a dinner for their kids. I know that what we did was predatory and exploitative, and on a scale unimaginable on European markets. Our marketing predicted a collapse of the target social class in 5-7 years… That was 4 years ago.

I’m certain other (western) markets experience similar progression - and exploits.
