Sincere question -- what don't you like about the stopwatch in the clock app?

Supply and demand curves are part of the problem, though. People have talked about almonds a lot in these comments. We're growing tons of almonds because the demand for almonds is very high. They're one of the most lucrative crops

Almonds are a very water-intensive crop. We grow a huge amount of almonds here in California. (Most of them are exported.) See http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-30052290 for one writeup. Now, they're also a very lu

Well. 25% heavier. Edit: which is not to say that the new MacBook is better; I'm just saying there are tradeoffs here. They both look pretty good to me.

I agree that tech journalists are at fault here. It might also help if Google wasn't calling this Project Zero.

That is a poor guess. I think it's complex precisely because I don't think everyone should be forced to live by the same principles, and because I recognize that some principles conflict. People have been arguing about value plura

OK, thanks -- that clarifies for me! And yeah; right now, for example, it's kind of awkward having this conversation because you've hit a post limit of some kind, which I gotta assume is a moderation thing. Irksome, since I think

I would state this slightly differently: discussion considered to be abusive by the moderators/admins of their sites has been taken down in some form from every major communications platform. In some cases, that discussion involves Gam

I'm not asking why you think freedom of speech is a guiding principle and a human right. I get that and I agree that freedom of speech is incredibly important. I have spent a lot of mental time over the last few years thinking about th

There's a pretty substantial difference between "I like the idea of a site..." and "only legitimate stance to take." Can you explain why you think granting the ability to create a sub-board generates a different mor

Er, /baphomet is not "a doxxing board." Or, rather, it's not just a doxxing board. It's also a swatting board, and swatting is illegal in the US. https://storify.com/a_man_in_black/baphomet You

Considering that Indiecade 2013 took place well in advance of any sexual contact between Robin and Zoe? It's very easy to believe that no influence is in play. And this is why I don't think I'm too quick to accuse. You'r

"Robin Arnott is also one of the accused people. While not a journalist, he is one of the judges for Indiecade. Her game won an award on last year's indiecade, winning over Papers, please and other titles - quite a clear conflict

Nope, it's not a problem at all. However, if you say "#gamergate was started by Adam Baldwin, specifically to address corruption in games journalism and the collusion of media outlets in trying to silence discussion of it." I

Let's be clear about why Adam Baldwin is doing this: he's interested in spreading his brand of conservative thought. "EveryJoe: I recently saw a tweet came down my stream: 'Ever since GamerGate started, I’ve been forced

The initial fine is not always the biggest cost to the company. I am not a lawyer and have not read the consent decree in this case, but typically the cost of compliance to the consent decree is significantly larger than the initial fine.

Amazon is much bigger than Hachette. They can absorb losses due to these proposals more easily. If a guy making $50 a day tells a guy making $10 a day that it's fair for them to both make $5 less per day, he's wrong. Note that Ama

Point of information about Verizon as a purely residential carrier: Verizon owns MCI/Worldcom and Terremark. They're not just a residential carrier. I don't have any idea what the ratio of residential to business traffic is,

I'm conflicted about this. I strongly believe in focused local government, and California is awfully big. At the same time, I'm with you on socio-economic gerrymandering. This would be awful for much of the state.
