I think ads are a major component of this but not the only one. (See a recent top HN post about chumboxes. It is hard to not become cynical.) You also have: - growing complexity beyond the comprehension of a person resulting in fear of unkn

Is there a name for this genre of music remixing speeches?

Lack of coherence is a major benefit for a sacred text. It allows the cult clerics to be flexible, to pick and choose what they like, what is socially acceptable at the time. A rigid sacred text that claim things are one way or that somethi

No, he is entirely right. He just complained about the condescending tone of fans and what does the above commenter do, he does the exact thing, pushes the exact button. In a different context this would have been played for laughs, or it w

Nobody is stopping you from using Apple IAP. The difference being discussed is between <Apple enforcing Apple IAP as one of the options for IAP> and <Apple enforcing Apple IAP as the ONLY option and banning any communication on the

Wrong, Spotify's existence does not depend on Apple and their platform. Spotify works on all platforms. Apple is rent-seeking by abusing their natural monopoly on app distribution on iOS platforms (their platform, their rules) which is

I would argue that at least at the time that webpage was written and maintained, none, of them (including the standard) got timestamps right. In the above case timezone is actually an offset. Arguably, timestamp with timezone should store a

No RDBMS is fully compliant with the standard, especially newer versions of the standard. There was a website comparing the major RDBMSs to the standard with examples. I can not find it now but I found this: https://en.wikipedia.

It is the key word on which your argument rests and you used it in every comment in this thread. Since you decline, I believe it is useless to continue the discussion.

Again, your 3 questions do not provide any information with regards to trustworthiness. You have just decided that the Wuhan Lab is an epicenter of evil and therefore anyone tangential is untrustworthy. There is no logical connection, you f

These would not answer whether someone behaves responsibly with dangerous research. It answers whether someone had any connection to Wuhan. You can find plenty of people who would answer all "no"-s and would be far more destructiv

Define trustworthy. What kind of trust did you place in them that was now broken? I at the very least believe they would not desire to expose themselves and their loved ones to pathogens. If the origin was a leak, then, sure, we should see

I think the Apple Mx generation of Macs first of all fixed a series of issues Apple previously inflicted on the Mac (bad keyboards, insufficient cooling, touchbar, etc.) and did indeed raise the bar FOR MACs. Apple Mx means more power, more

To you and sibling comment I would argue the comment I responded to conflated dangerous with immoral. Danger is part of the domain of threat modelling. And when doing threat modelling, the morality of the opponent is a distraction. However

I think some of the outliers are interesting: - top left corner, VB.NET. It is probably used frequently enough in businesses but nobody cares to release projects on GitHub. Is it poor version control culture? Is is a business only language?

Or perhaps you are used to the most liked ranking by Stack Overflow. That one is very different. As a popularity ranking, it is entirely unsurprising to see JavaScript then Python then Java and PHP then C#.
