waydowntogo··on Why electric cars will take over sooner than you think

waydowntogo··on Google Is Training Machines to Predict When a Patient Will Die
I'm programmer and I'm always saying (something like this) - the program / AI can be able to do things the best way how it can be done the best way by its programmer(s)

My point is - this is completely nonsense. IT world and Real world are two difference worlds.

It's look like Google needs wake up call.

People won't share their data / thoughts etc.

waydowntogo··on Medium tries to prevent people reading deleted articles on the Wayback Machine?
Mainly problem with any services is privacy. There's no privacy on internet.

If you have a blog you have to count with fact that an article will be on internet forever.

My advice is this - write an article today but publish it tomorrow (you'll have time for thinking about an article).

waydowntogo··on Stack Overflow Isn’t Very Welcoming – It’s Time for That to Change
I tried answer questions the best way I could and I had nice respond from asker mostly like it

BUT

there was almost everytime some smartass (with higher points than me and voted down my answer) who had some problem with that - bad words or word-order (i'm not kinding); too short answer etc.

So I left.

I wanted share my knowlidge but they didn't wanted them. Now admins/owners are crying. Just epic!
