>Finding talented, reliable, reasonably priced freelancers is HARD He wants the talent, but he finds talented artists to demand an unreasonable amount of money. To me it's him that comes off as unreasonable.

Because JS apps never have package management issues, right? If you don't understand your tools, it will eventually bite you. Has nothing to do with TS.

Did you link to an abstract of a pay-walled article? Where are the conclusions? >In this paper we review these implications of nicotine use and also examine the role of nicotine in the development of several cardiovascular diseases. That

>"So back in reality" GRAS does not mean what you think it means. I know exactly what GRAS means. Why do you assume otherwise? I never claimed that vaping is safe; you'd have to be an idiot to make that argument. That does

Not talking about that class "stimulants". See comment below.

I guess I shouldn't have used the word "class" as you're not the only person to come back with that. I mean that it's generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. I think you know that comparing heroin to nicotin

Nicotine is in the same drug class as caffiene. Want to ban coffee as well?

Pretty sure that would only hurt HN users and Google won't give a single damn.

Sure. While you're at it, please ban red meat. I eat far too much of it and need to be protected.

Paraphrasing here... >If you don't support antifa you are pro fascism ...seems like a very fascist thing to believe.

That's a pretty bold condemnation to throw out there with nothing to back it up. He's nothing like Jones.

Then it's hard to imagine why you think your age has anything to do with you not knowing who he is. He's been a public figure for more than two decades.

He was on News Radio with Phil Hartman in the mid 90's and hosted fear factor. He's been around for some time now, definitely longer than most of his audience can recall.

Ha, it had some twists and turns. Smoking was maybe the most innocent part of my high school experience.

I started smoking cigarettes at 9 and was able to consistently get my hands on them by 14. It's never been hard.

Yes: row traversal (no hopping around in memory and causing cache flushes) and block size reads/writes are a big deal. Luckily they're easy enough to do right every time once you know. I used to take some flak from the "prema

Yes, profile. Anecdotally, I once removed a number of virtual function calls as they were imposing significant overhead in a tight loop (image processing). Would that be the case today? No idea; I'd have to measure it again.

Neither NPR nor the BBC are "state run". NPR is funded by the state as well as private donations (don't know as much about the BBC), but it's an important distinction, especially in this context.

"free" as in speech... obviously. There is no "neutral" here; one side is a wealthy government, the other is an informal assembly of citizens. Do you also believe that political contributions should be unregulated? Would

So, in your hypothetical, China is making a _massive_ bluff because they know the US would wipe them out as well as soon as the first nuke launched, not to mention the loss of nearly all their largest trading partners. Seems unlikely.

Who is talking about "SaS" (sic) and how is that in any way relevant? Apps are local... to your phone. Your opinion seems to be that all phone apps are a "scam"? I can't even begin to understand what you're tal

Maybe we can agree that propaganda used to get someone to buy Pepsi over Coke isn't exactly the same as pushing a political agenda?

After scrolling through the first five or so images I assumed you work in a twelfth century monestary... and then I got to the x-ray.

In the US, yes. Games have not increased in price alongside inflation. I recall paying $80 for certain Nintendo (NES) games. Most new games were $60.
