I've had to take my shoes off in many places in Europe and Asia. It's definitely not just a "US" thing.

I think they would be better off taking all they money they would potentially spend on this stupid and putting it up as prize money for a French startup to create a viable Google competitor--encouraging them to view search in a new way

Good question. Who calls the FBI over something like that? Granted, I haven't heard his side of the story, but with the information I have now I don't ever want to be friends with Brian.

I have such a sense of awe when looking at pictures of container ships. This article sums it up pretty well. Capitalism certainly has its downsides, but results in some pretty amazing things. Then again, the same could be said about tota

I agree. On the surface, this looks ridiculous and I am very surprised. Hopefully there is a good explanation... but pregnancy status as a query parameter? I don't understand what that could be other than data mining.

Yeah I feel that they are overzealous in closing useful (to me) questions, but its hard to know what the site would be like if they let discussions go--perhaps it would make it a lot more difficult to find the answer you're looking for

Doesn't surprise me considering how much I use Stack Overflow. I also have a lot of respect for Joel--I don't actually know much about him but from his blog posts he seems like a very decent guy.

Can't we just maintain our sense of humor about things like this and move on? The project is old, the dictator is dead... And its not like naming a project after Stalin is "endorsing" him. It's merely personifying the

I like the colors it generated for me very much... But it should also have the ability to generate ugly colors. It's just not fair to favor the pleasing colors so heavily.

Pretty cool, but unplayable unless I was doing something wrong. I couldn't move the minimap unless I was careful where to click (dragging doesn't work) and everytime I tried to select a unit everything disappeared. Looking forwa

Seems likely, any references that support your theory? Many people on /r/bitcoin and such places seemed to think that he outright stole it, but could be pure speculation (I didn't follow the story, don't take my word fo

I think the most likely possibility is that it is fixed to some extant - i.e. your genetics give you a baseline. Then, of course, your environment effects how much you grow above your baseline.

Perhaps you have studied morality simulations in the past, whereas I have not. It was written simply. (In my opinion the occasional wordiness was a stylistic choice to mimic casual conversation rather than a strictly rigorous academic pape

How do enthusiasts track the planes over the ocean? I saw a plane on flightradar24 that looked like it was 360mi+ away from the coast. (It was yellow, meaning ADS-B data.)

Start with a healthy diet before you start taking vitamins. They are probably not necessary, unless you are already eating a perfectly healthy diet (which I doubt). I suppose it could be helpful if you refuse to eat healthier... I complet

I am not afraid of GM stuff, but does anyone else think this idea is potentially really dumb? What about everything that relies on these mosquitoes as a food source? I am not an expert... but trying to just kill off an entire species soun

Is there any benefit to using coreOS when you don't need a million machines? How much work is it to start with, for example, if you have no idea what your scaling needs will be in the future?

This is true. I would trust it more if a company with a lot of cash backed it (google, apple..) of course, leaving it open source. We don't want anything sneaky going on. They might already make a lot of contributions that I don&#x27

While I agree with you, I think it is also a matter of what the police force spends its resources on. There are so many stupid laws that could be enforced, but probably shouldn't. I'd rather the officers ignore the homeless for

Well yes, but there is actually a huge intersection with computer science - bioinformatics. Since bioinformatics only requires data, which is much easier to get, and programming/statistics/data mining skills, the barrier to entry
