07121941on Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?

I'm making a pretty interesting digital graffiti web app and I'd love some help. I'm proficient with django, and I'm learning some computer vision stuff on the side to supplement the project. I've fleshed it out, but honestly I need some help with the operations and planning.

If you're interested I can hop into a google meet just about any time this week. Leave a comment and I'll email you in like 40 minutes.

It's not about "sheltering" children from the trials and tribulations of real life, what they have access to is manipulative and unhealthy.

07121941on Introduction to Machine Learning for Finance

07121941on How to stop writing like you’re in college

The college writing style is lazy. It's not about avoiding flowery language or cutting sentence length.

It's laziness. It tells me you don't have any opinions of your own.

Anyone can learn to write like that and it'll get the job done if you're writing an essay the night before.

I personally despise it because it's something out of nothing.

Used a lot when you're trying not to incriminate yourself or say anything of substance.
