I don't mind ads most of the time. I have a script that rips out iframes, flash and other junk, and does a few other "cleansing" operations. It works fairly well and it's satisfying to push the "zap" button whe

The WAP accounts for high improbability by positing a multiverse, but (at least as I understand it) it doesn't predict high improbability, even if there is a multiverse. Also, in a multiverse scenario, the improbable thing might not be

We can't calculate the probability of life arising though because even if we did know how it arose here—which we don't exactly—we don't know all the possible different ways it can arise, which may or may not also be a number

I think diversifying your skill set can help protect you against a bubble burst. I had a reputation for being both a programmer and visual designer and I think it kept me afloat through the early 2000s. And by "diversifying your skill

I interpreted it as rat mites being more of a catalyst for the condition, rather than them being the full explanation for the condition.

If your meritocracy is just a snapshot of whoever's best at a specific time, then you don't have a meritocracy. In other words, what happens when a new, better source of information comes online?

This doesn't make sense. Gravity doesn't have an energy density. The energy density of this system is going to be directly related to the density of the material being raised/lowered.

Here's a counter-argument. var x = new Foo() ...is almost universally recognizable, and leaves little guesswork about the intent and meaning of the code. There's a lot more ambiguity encountering this: var x = foo()

I can see not being a gamer or not liking beer making anyone a social misfit, regardless of race. I'm a white non-gamer and I've uncomfortably sat through so many gaming conversations. They just go on and on and on.

The article itself sort of suggests a way. Gather data on how much advertisers are spending on television ads. See if there's a super-linear correlation between non-fragmented audience size and ad dollars spent.

Dart's operator overloading alone makes it easier to write clear and concise code than in JS, e.g. for map and list types. // dart var listA = listB + listC; // js var listA = listB.concat(listC);

It might be a myth that Firewire failed to beat USB as you say but it doesn't seem too far off to say that USB succeeded in beating Firewire. I don't think the article was too far out of bounds in portraying it as a competition.

Even if responsibility lands on the individual, rather than background circumstances, it's still reasonable to try to figure out how to break the cycle, isn't it? It's possible to hold someone guilty, and still have empathy.
