Interesting that there are plans to run this between Washington DC and Baltimore and finish it in the same year Tokyo-Nagoya is finished. Probably won't happen, but still.

That still doesn't solve a problem of a user installing the browser for the first time, installing adblock, then going to a porn site in private mode and getting a faceful of malware-ridden ads. Who thought this is a good idea?

Good to know Facebook and Google are fighting against censorship. I don't know why anyone would be outraged by this.

Stops are not a problem. Japan's Shinkansen has exactly the same problem of prefectures/municipalities forcing railways to build a station in the middle of nowhere. There are literally dozens of such stations even on the busiest r

Well, at least Russia routinely bans LGBTQ-related websites for extremist content.

The fearmongering is in the choice of the photos. The locations in the photos are not open to the public, you can only see them on a special tour of exclusion zone. They're preserved for posterity to show earthquake damage. The photogr

I remembered seeing the same images a year ago, so I used Google Images to find what I assumed to be the same images. I didn't know the OP is a photographer, I assumed it was just another clickbait blog, as is common these days. I upda

Another fearmongering article. EDIT: Google Images finds photos from James Galbraith who took them in early 2018 or earlier, not "8 years on" in the same locations. At first I thought the OP author just took his images and put the

>f-strings What happened to "explicit is better than implicit"? "Only one way to do stuff"? One of the more baffling Python features if you ask me.

The part that gets exported, the pop culture so to speak, is as uncontroversial as it can be. But it's just the end product of a creative process. And this creative process works best in a free society. Moreover, pop culture is the tip

Cultural domination. There used to be a time when countries such as UK, France, Germany were incredibly influential in areas such as music and film. Now they're barely a blip on the radar. All the famous movies and music artists come f

Not even yellow. Monochrome. The characters shouldn't have any color specified. There's no need for a separate character for black A, yellow A, green A. Why should there be any for emoji? All of them were originally monochrome. A

Nah, it's already more affordable than taxi (through carsharing, at least in my city), and will be even more affordable when autonomous cars get deployed (even for people without driving license). Car ownership will be a luxury, but th

I like how the author is mad about water while canned beer which is produced consumed in much larger quantities is totally fine. Getting beer-drinkers to switch to water via marketing would be a huge win and it's an effort that shoul

What kind of idiot thought that the add-ons I have personally installed on my browser need to have a capability to be remotely disabled despite literally nothing being changed. This is absolutely inexcusable. I want to see everyone being

Porn is also perfectly legal, yet you can't have a porn app on App Store. Since Apple decided to play moral arbiter, it's perfectly fine to judge them when they allow something like that on their platform.

These passengers are still driving cars, even though they're much less safe. The solution is simple: subsidize ticket prices. The cheapest ticket always wins. People would literally fly standing up if they could get a ticket for $1 les

IrfanView is even faster than MSPaint and has the same functionality.

Well, I won't judge personal open-source projects (where there's usually only one contributor) on the same level as large collaborative projects where code quality and commit history actually matters. Ichiran is not a typical proj

by Grue3 8y ago
I'd even go as far as to say that any code that was written in the span of 20 minutes can't possibly be good code, and doesn't deserve to be in master. The code quality and commit history must be pretty terrible in a project

If there's technical capability, there's no doubt they will do it, with or without an "attack" (a fake orchestrated attack can always be used as pretext). It's obvious to everyone this will be another Great Firewall

I can't think of any place where this sort of "feature" would've been appropriate. An article from Wikipedia, which anyone can edit, is like the least convincing thing they could've linked to.

You can download GIMP which is about the same size, available for the same platforms, and includes a lot more stuff than just a color picker.

Uber is not allowed to compete in Tokyo. When you use Uber, it just calls a normal licensed taxi. The advantage is presumably the fact that it shows your destination to the driver without you having to explain it, but for locals there'
