When you think about it social stigma against homosexuality is really the only thing that prevents teens "going crazy". I'm not a gay man but apparently it's pretty easy to get laid on Grindr, easier than a straight guy

This type of thinking is why we haven't escaped from the prisoners dilemma yet. One day, two of our "world leaders" are going to commit to a war and all the soldiers of both sides are going to look at eachother and say '

If your life really depended on the ok outcome of the nxt program you wrote, you would make SURE it worked. You test, re-test, try alternatives and compare outcomes, run experiments about what happens under certain conditions. Then you take

I opened this link in Melbourne, Australia, never been to this page before in my life, and it downloaded almost instantly. Do .mil domains get some kind of special preference, or is my brain just glitching out?

On their Android app, first thing it makes you do is give them permission to read your SMSs. It wont let you vefiry by entering a code. I immediately uninstalled - doesn't seem like a privacy focussed organisation to me.

Your comment took me quite a while to parse, but it's actually incredible. I had never considered that somewhere deep down I have a sensation of "being" inside my body, which I guess some part of the brain is responsible for.

This is a great analogy and something I found quite comforting (I'm OP), thankyou.

I wonder if the author would classify the Wright brothers as 'tinkerers'. Overall I find the tone pretty insulting, nobody believes they are the bees-knees quite like academics.

The ecosystem is miles ahead. I started with Erlang and I've never thought the syntax of Elixir was any better, but the developer experience of getting a basic web-app up and running using Phoenix compared to say cowboy or yaws is 10x
