Well … when I was still very obese (162kg, just as tall as you are) I was also struggling with high pulse (around 90) and high blood pressure as well as, you know, just a general discomfort, a feeling of shortness of breath, … After I start

If there are six onboard two Soyuz will be docked. Always. There will never not be lifeboat for everyone, nor was there ever not one for everyone. Currently two are docked and those are the two lifeboats. Those aren’t only lifeboats, though

Who is talking about forbidding anything? That's a total non sequitur.

That argument of yours is so confusing and non-sensical, mostly in that you don’t link it back to the original point you made. Basically, there is just no connection between what you just said and the original point you made. It’s utterly i

Are you serious?! How is it even possible to hold that opinion? I mean, really?! I’m so confused right now. http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2013/02/how-do-users-re... It’s not the phone part you hav

So … exactly once for each type of device? In something like a decade? Complain that it’s not what everybody else is using, do not complain that it’s frequently changing. Because it isn’t. That’s just empirically untrue and a very weird sta

But no one was tapping on the screen and looking at it to interact with it … I would personally argue that I’m unsure about the connection between weight and comfortableness and the tolerances. Would 200g be ok? I really don’t know. However

The right to free speech also includes the right to not republish things you think are crap (or just not appropriate) … That seems so obvious to me. Obviously, if it’s the fear of violent attacks that leads to that behaviour then that’s pro

“When people are being murdered for having an opinion the question of whether or not that opinion is in good taste or presented in a well-mannered way is... secondary.” Of course that is secondary. That much is obvious. It is a pointless di

(That's irrelevant. However, it's also an urban legend. Be rest assured that no one in Kennedy's German audience was even for a second confused and didn't understand exactly what he meant. He was perfectly clear. Even if

I’m not assuming malice here you know …
912.
by arrrg 12y ago
Why do you assert that there is malice involved? That just makes no sense. What’s with this reflexive impulse to always, always, always loudly proclaim malice? I just don’t get where this weird worldview comes from. If there is no malice in

Seeing as Apple in particular has to be dragged into this new world and everyone (really everyone) was there before them I don’t think there is any truth at all to that characterisation. The iPod was never intended to be a trojan horse. Tha

Sure. However, in practice, what difference does that make? In many cases fingerprints are perfectly fine to use. However, they do have glaring problems as well. So they are anything but perfect, I’m just not sure what difference that makes

by arrrg 12y ago
There is nothing valuable (expect potentially embarrassing private information that is, however, completely worthless to some random thief) on my phone that is protected by my fingerprint. The valuable stuff (especially passwords) can’t be

Weigh the probability of someone producing a fingerprint replica vs. someone shoulder-surfing. The first seems exceedingly unlikely to me, while the second is at least plausible.

And yet … and yet … See, this is exactly the problem. It’s not at all useless. It’s a pretty great password that defends excellently against a few common problem points (random strangers just picking up your phone and playing with it, rando

Talking about art and explaining it to each other is the most awesome thing about it! Honestly, I’m unable to comprehend your viewpoint on this at all.

North Korea fascinates people in the US and Europe. (North Korea even knows that and uses that to its advantage. Just look at the tours they sell and how much those cost.) In that context it seems like quite the leap to suspect some sort of

Why is the traffic light relevant when you are in the intersection? In Germany it doesn't matter anymore once you enter the intersection, mostly since you just cannot see it. It seems absurd to me that the traffic light would still be

I don’t think your assumption holds for repeat interactions. Drivers want to get consistently tipped, so they do have an incentive for treating people who already tipped them well, namely insuring that those people will remain customers.
922.
by arrrg 12y ago
I really, really don’t get your point. I’m utterly confused by it. This is an incidental non-issue that couldn’t be any less relevant if it wanted to. There is no possible world in which this could ever be of the tiniest relevance.

I think that eventually would be measured in centuries or more. If we are able to solve the engineering challenge of terraforming Mars in the first place this kind of continual housekeeping won’t be an issue.

And? I don’t really see the connection. CEOs are public faces of their companies. As such, all their publicly expressed opinions are quite relevant, especially if they are threatening to their employees. End of story, really.

Aha. News to me, really. That seems more like a popular right-wing conspiracy theory than anything that’s actually happening.

That’s quite irrelevant.

Even if they could (it’s unlikely) … would they? Philea was a pretty risky and relatively small add-on to the main Rosetta mission. Rosetta does important stuff all on its own, it’s not just a vehicle to get Philae there and relay data. Ros

What the fuck. Who retroactively changed anything? It’s an FAQ. It doesn’t tell you anything about anything valuable in this case. Updating it with current info is obviously the right thing to do, too. What’s with the insane conspiracy theo

What? It’s the fucking web. Of course it’s a live document! If it wouldn’t be that would be a colossal failure. It also doesn’t tell you anything about the actual goals of this mission that would be relevant for future missions. What’s with

by arrrg 12y ago
It’s not a failure, though. Clearly not. Obviously not. To call this a failure is flat out insane. It has no connection to any reality. Also, it’s not a dichotomous failure/success condition. Some things worked, some things didn’t. Tha
