Yep. And Lyft and Uber haven’t allowed pickups on Market street for a while, presumably also due to the city’s requirement, so I don’t see how this will change much.

Backpacking can certainly be extremely expensive, not just because of equipment prices and outdoor usage fees, but because in popular areas it's quite difficult to get permits, which requires a lot of time spent planning as well as a l

I actually don't have a problem with him choosing to die rather than helping a felon. What's important is that he not be allowed to determine criminal justice policy.

There's really no such thing as "the community's willingness to deal with it." You're dealing with it, because you're not fixing it. I'm dealing with it, because I'm not fixing it. And that is true of

I don't think I've ever seen it. I have, however, seen Apple Pay on the web a few times (and in apps many more times), and that has been a great experience.

I thought it’s more just that nuclear power plants aren’t economically or politically viable any more, since wealthy governments are no longer subsidizing them with their massive and growing nuclear weapons programs.

Sure, but I don't think anyone's complaining about how you would assign race completion position labels in a programming language. Surely you would do something like this: // Start the position at one, because that

But note that the potential for underlying confusion is not limited to the choice of indexing in programming language syntax. Casually ask someone who lives on the 8th floor of an apartment building how many floors they go up in the elevato

But there absolutely is a point in setting out to count something when it turns out there is zero of that thing. If you don't know how many of something there is, but you know that this information is important, you will want to go out

As far as I know, there generally aren’t papers that contain debates between multiple linguists. Scientific papers usually aren’t written as debate transcripts. But there are certainly many papers about dead languages, and about the lines b

I’ve been on the test for this design since October 4, 2019, so I’ve actually gotten used to it! But it’s probably a good thing for them to backtrack. I wonder what went wrong in their clearly lengthy experiment about how this would perform

For many companies, the home page is probably simply not used for selling their product or informing new people about the company, and instead serves more as a symbol of the company's aesthetic and a way to welcome and comfort visitors

Perhaps, although I'm not so sure. The muting feature as documented is clearly intended to apply to the actual content of tweets. The keywords in this list clearly seem to be things that would appear in, say, a JSON representation of a

People got along just fine before the Internet existed too. This mode of argument is not particularly constructive.

I don't think that's the best criticism of bangs. The best criticism is that your query already gives you what you want if you just type it into Google without the bang.

Forget half a century ago! Even when I was in high school in 2005 (while I was getting a vastly better education from personal curiosity on Wikipedia than from public school) it was widely accepted that it would be ludicrous to believe any

It seems like a pretty strange null hypothesis that people are entirely unaffected by the social media they are exposed to. The fact that using Twitter bots hasn't caused one candidate to become the most popular doesn't seem like

Yeah, skyscrapers have a lot of stairs and elevators, but I'm pretty sure switching to a bunch of smaller buildings and replacing the stairs and elevators with roads and automobiles is not going to come out ahead on environmental impac

I think if the only animals in airplane cabins were service animals and pets of people moving long distances, the impact would be extremely small. It wouldn't be an extremely common hassle that essentially every flyer has to deal with.

I don't think my example (for example, "BB(11111) + 1") demonstrates the Berry paradox. The original comment "the biggest non-infinity namable number in k characters" is the Berry paradox, which is what I was poin

by baddox 7y ago
That doesn’t sound right, because “BB(k) plus 1” is larger than BB(k) and has fewer than k characters for sufficiently large k.
