Men tend to prefer 70 degrees and women tend to prefer 75. 72.5 sounds like a reasonable compromise.

I've been using Soylent as an occasional meal replacement, not a complete food replacement. In a decent thermos it works well to replace my breakfast, lunch, or dinner with minimal fuss, and is cheaper than eating out when I don't

That's a question I'd really love to have answered, actually.

That must be hardware dependent, I was able to fire up VirtualBox and resume working in a Linux VM immediately after upgrading.

They probably also thought ahead a bit on how it would wind up getting abbreviated, used, or misused by the public. I recall when the XBox One came out and everybody called it the XBone, several folks on the XBox One team were upset about i

It is funny that both major OS developers settled on 10 for their "forever version."

As long as the functionality is there and basic improvements have been made, I'm not at all upset. I got my upgrade for free, and I'm enjoying several of the new features (especially multiple desktops, welcome to the 21st century

It must be particularly difficult to relate to those of us that don't have that disorder. When the patient in the article described his leg as foreign, or that his "soul doesn't extend into that part" of his leg, my fir

The acoustic signature would be generated by the client, then matched by the server. A bit more work than comparing tags, but not particularly onerous.

It isn't. When the Express Settings option came up I selected the (well hidden) option not to use it, and unchecked every option I was given. My default browser was still switched to Edge.

A relay which is not an exit is practically zero risk. The design of the Tor system means you'll be receiving an encrypted packet from one source, unwrapping one layer of encryption, and passing it on to the next relay in the chain, w

Yes, obvious trolling by a Nazi username gets downvoted. Yay us. I still say they don't represent the technical community. And it's blatantly obvious they don't represent the HN community, given the downvotes. I'm not sa

From the article: The earliest “hydrants” in New York City (dating back to the early 1700s but lasting until the late 1800s) were simply buckets of water scattered around the five boroughs, left locked by the fire department so as to keep o

And yet their post is still getting voted into oblivion, even when nobody knows who votes for what.

I would hardly consider a troll post from an account less than half an hour old to be representative of the technology industry.

That's not entirely fair, either. I'm sure there are plenty of things that would offend them, but they understand that just because something is offensive does not make it wrong.

If you're going to ask me to put away the dictionary you could try it without dragging out the thesaurus.

Hey, if you want to argue with the dictionary be my guest. I'm afraid my name isn't Oxford, though, and I'm not really sure how to reach him. Sorry about that.

I disagree with this in principle, however as a private company Github has the right to do as they please. Just make the rules clear and apply them fairly and consistently and you'll hear no complaints from me.

You don't think that people would defend to the death one of the basic principles of human rights? To be clear, I'm not saying that Github censoring "retarded" is a human rights issue, but as long as we've gone off

A bit early to say that. There may be others that haven't come forward yet, or that they just haven't got to yet (assuming it's not an automated process).

Well, in the literal sense it is censorship, being the suppression of materials deemed objectionable on moral, political, military, or other grounds. A bit like a (likely American) TV censor might "bleep" a word they don't
