Hello peeps, thanks @aaronoleary for the thread! With the current situation, I find it harder than ever to close deals and have meaningful meetings with people. Most of it comes from the non-verbal cues that aren't transmitted over the phone, or barely on Zoom or Hangout. Also, a lot is usually achieved during the smalltalk at the beginning and at the end, but we don't have that anymore. People...

I think this whole attitude of crunching and "if you don't work 70h a week you're just lazy" is really promoting a unhealthy behaviour. Note that the question is what you prefer doing, so 100% relaxing, even though sometimes I have to work, but I'm not happy about it.
What do you prefer doing on your weekends?

I think the people willing to give their financial details to Facebook need to seriously remember the Brexit vote and the US elections. There is an interesting videos on Netflix about Cambridge Analytica, all the situations they meddled with and how Facebook at the same time compliant and the best vector for it.
Facebook Pay launched yesterday. Will you use it to pay for things or send payments to friends?

I can't remember doing that. But I feel like it's more an Android issue because on iPhone, if I don't want an app to use the contacts, I just don't grant it access to them. There's no blanket agreement like on the Play Store. But maybe there are some examples I don't know about.
Have you ever deleted an app due to privacy concerns?

Apart from sleep that has been mentioned numerous times and that's obvious, I find myself at the peak of energy when my motivation is in the same place. So, whenever I feel unmotivated, I just switch to something new, like from code to SysOps then to a bit of research and so I keep things moving like that. Also, being French, good food is of the uttermost importance to keep this motivation high.
How do you makers keep your energy levels up?

Quite the contrary, I think it's great. I hope people will be afraid of being deceived and will learn how to cross-check facts and be more critical. It's better to wake people up for prevention than when an actual automatically generated fake-news media would have made its way into people's habits. It would be interesting if well-established news websites played the game and published some of...

Do you think it's pronounced "GIF or "JIF"?

I'm a EU citizen living in the UK. Brexit is a mix of this and Cambridge Analytica, so I think it's a great idea. Making people go the extra mile to reach information will hopefully make them think a bit more instead of being force-fed with it.
Yesterday Twitter announced they will stop all political advertising globally. What do you think?

I am quite perplex about the pricing system. I guess this is not orientated towards actual scientists, is it? Because as an C.S. scientist I don't know why I would pay for stuff (LaTeX, R, Python, D3, Jupyter) that I can have for free. I mean, the whole put everything into the same document idea is good, I like it, but I can't see anybody using it for an actual paper. I would use it for the...

This looks so awesome. Too bad I can't afford it! I'd like to try it in the UK though.

How is it different from, say, Jupyter?
