The counterarguments are, basically: 1. vgo focuses on the wrong issue (if you're spending a ton of time resolving and re-resolving your dependency graph, maybe the issue is your build process). 2. vgo will get the wrong answers and&#x

I wouldn't say no problem, but it's a question of intent. If a corporation microtargets an ad at me to let me know they have a product they believe I will like, that's a little creepy, but it might even be helpful. Maybe I

That's a controversial opinion. Neither porn addiction nor sexual addiction is in the DSM-V, so it's not "officially" recognised as a real thing, and many researchers and experts believe it is not. There's not eve

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. If you want to raise a lot of money, you really want a VAT or GST, probably in the 15-20% level. These are excellent at raising revenue because they hit everyone , rich and poor alike, and

That's a superb article, and it makes some extremely valuable points. It wouldn't be that hard to just take a bunch of tax money, and provide a bunch of health care. Or alternatively, provide a bunch of health insurance. But s

I agree very strongly. Vaping is a bit of an unknown, but it's difficult to overstate how terrible tobacco is. Like you, I've never smoked or vaped, but I see vaping as an excellent chance to actually kill off tobacco. If we lat

Yep. I've been playing WoW long enough that I can recall wiping in a dungeon or raid, respawning as a ghost in a graveyard on the other side of the zone, and needing to run back across difficult terrain on foot. In a couple of notabl

Yes, quite right. The runback makes sense in PVP; it largely doesn't in PVE, where it's mostly been eliminated.

Interestingly, it seems Blizzard agrees with him; WoW has moved sharply away from the system he describes as nonsensical. (The time penalty has been sharply decreased in all cases, and essentially eliminated in difficult group content.)

Something to keep in mind is that the tobacco industry has a ton of money, a demonstrated willingness to play dirty if needed, and a deeply vested interest in undermining companies like Juul. I'm not saying that the The Verge or Rachel

Right, but we got a fairly detailed description of what happened: "Using codes that only Rackstraw would have known, Sherwood honed in on two sentences for analysis. The first sentence, “I want out of the system and saw a way through g

So...what evidence was in the book? Because the article has literally zero other than "this guy's ex-boss said he totally recognised a letter".

Here's the problem: 1) "Rackstraw – a former Special Forces paratrooper, explosives expert and pilot with about 22 different aliases – was once a person of interest in the case, but was eliminated as a suspect by the FBI in 1979.

I dunno, it looks fairly reasonable to me. At this point I feel like the sooner everyone just shrugs and adopts a GDPR-ish like framework, the better. And this one looks serviceable, doesn't come into effect until 2020, and can be tw

I found the article odd, because it talked a lot about the different dynamics and the emissions of different things, but never netted them out. If you're going to talk about the CO2 emissions of the concrete needed for a wind turbine,

I believe the logic is: 1) Porn (crypto, gambling, etc.) transactions are significantly riskier than other transactions. 2) CC processing involves a long chain of intermediaries. 3) At every step of the chain there's strong pressure up
