Man. I like two things. Boring languages/frameworks, and minimalism. Boring languages/frameworks Just Work, and are usually pretty secure. Minimalist --which is to say, making something as simple as possible, but no simpler-- mean

That would be great. I may ping you in a couple weeks to see what your opinion is. I really like the idea , but I also have a notebook and a camera in my phone.

Likely the latter, and for that we can largely thank large motorist groups in the US. Michelin comes to mind, as they created their "Michelin star" metric to give people a reason to drive places, and then lobbied like hell to crea

The hype looks good on this, but the reviews are pretty brutal. Losing pages on export, then updating the original file to the lossy file? Yikes.

Using a standard lined notebook, I just counted out lines and number of pages. So, if I had a notebook with a hundred sheets (200 pages) and 26 lines per page, I need to set aside four pages at the start of the notebook to have a different

Pretty sure Travis didn't. IIRC he had the single largest bloc of voting rights (~18%), but that can still be overruled. ~58% (Zuckerberg's share percentage) can't be ousted no matter how the other voting shares vote.

The expectations part is the brutal one for me. Did it for years. Only started trying to not in the last year. Lost a few folks I thought were friends, but turned out to just be folks who were outsourcing their problemsolving to me.

Why do these things treat a finger-print reader as a feature? That alone puts a phone on on my no-buy list.

Bondage, domination, sadism, and masochism is what that stands for. You've correctly identified one facet of domination, for some folks. There's a lot left there which your "BDSM is about social hierarchy" doesn't e

It's a quote from Glengarry Glen Ross. That is one of Alec Baldwin's lines.

Anger wasn't supposed to be surprising, hence parent's use of punctuation. Awe was supposed to be the surprising one.

College definitely has something to do with it --for all the reasons you just rattled off. We get fucked once on, say, a misdemeanor, and then we learn this FUCK out of how to handle cops. And a fed is just a cop with better shoes.

And three million kilotons ahead on emissions total, which are what matter. Also, how and where was this data collected? We know that we can't trust companies to report this accurately. Was it collected by the state? Since it's n

Yeah, and that's pretty much my point. No matter how expedient and net-win a prospect like that might be, it's still not just. I think we agree, I'm just saying this because I hear way too much about 'right' and &#x

Nothing justifies a massacre. Or war, or any sort of nonconsensual act (I'm asserting here that murdering people en masse is nonconsensual). There's no casus belli that makes war just. But making shit stop, and stop right now? Tha

Definitely. In general, though -all other things being equal- if I have to decide who dies, I will decide they won't be people fighting on my side.

Well, sort of, but no. The thing is, your given (some event corrupts the cell's DNA) needs to be examined. Let's agree that some event corrupts the cell's DNA as you suggest, and then follow up with some questions. 1) Where i

Well, it's not so much 'words that are assigned social stigma' as it is 'words that become red flags for people who might be murdered right after hearing them'. Which I think is a pretty solid argument for not using
