Yeah that's a great thought, focusing on the author. Like in that long thread with another user, they also identified entertaining "punditry" instead may be more useful.

True, it would seem though, Google tackles a more complex problem, while Reddit or the like deals with its own specific data that has a predefined format that they know of.

Looking at what other users clicked on after doing similar searches. Yeah, I feel Reddit just doesn't account for these things, because requires way more work maybe to add as weights, if I am thinking of it correctly

Thanks for spending time to write this, I will hold off on the 401k and loan decision. Yeah, will eventually have to pause all those servers. And try other areas outside of my sector for work, which in itself might be fruitful experience in a way. I will find out if I can defer the student loans as well.

Thanks for the motivation, it does suck. That's a good idea though, haven't thought of that, I will look into some now. Generally have been avoiding opening new accounts and have had only 3 cards for most of my adult life.

Passion as in, spending the time to look into the thoughts of the paper and spending the time to observe each student's work fairly to help the student improve on their writing. Maybe the plagiarism checker is wrong about something, and makes you skip reading through that section. But, infact the student may have laid out some interesting thoughts that should have received positive reinforcement.

Our overall discussion reminded me of this piece by Aaron Swartz aswell, thought it would be nice read to suggest: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/anders, the specific piece is called "Confront reality"

Edit: or the whole series is quite good http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/rawnerve

Edit2: some wording

Slowly removing passion. Its interesting seeing how things I would feel would increase passion (simply because it creates/saves more time), may have the complete opposite effect and thus going against the whole intention. I ignore this side a lot of the time.

From your first paragraph, was wondering (kind of, but not related to the OP). If there is an obvious variable around education that was physically experienced how can one incorporate tech (if it's their only tools available) to safely address the problem while being aware of original creative position of null bias or objectivity. Alternatively, they stem from a position of overestimation of one’s knowledge and/or abilities related to subjects that they don’t in fact know much about nor have much experience in.. Especially when they do not have the resources to gather data at the scale needed from every sociologist/philosopher of different focus, culture/subculture. Or the ability to be a part of higher education where you might meet people of this caliber?

Edit: I guess threads like these are a way of doing it, to be honest. But, then comes that variable of verifying. I am viewing life as if it needs to be fully merit based

[–] pexavc 1 points 2 years ago

yeah definitely agreed

Yeah, it's more of a reflection rather than a solution

Figure out what the truth is for you and leave that shit alone.

This actually got me thinking quite a bit and was hoping you'd expand on it. Is it more directed to building things that are not driven by a personal truth?

[–] pexavc 1 points 2 years ago

I may have misinterpreted the tones then, likewise

Sure, I will. But, I will wait for more perspectives before I move onto the next. It would be a major mistake to continue on this alone. the idea is to have a team to compensate for flaws that you are potentially observing.
