Does anyone know if this works retroactively? Is every data-hungry company soon going to know all of our past browsing behavior?

Very interesting story and perspective, thanks for sharing. If you ever wrote a book about your life, or even a detailed blog post (didn't see anything on your blog about your personal life), I'm sure people would love to read it.

I have a problem with directions / general spatial awareness that sounds similar to what you have. I have a hard time plotting a route to a known location in my head in the city I've lived in for 10+ years, but strangely have no p

First off, thanks for creating this. I definitely appreciate that this was created as a native app instead of trying to do it as a web app (which, from personal experience with WebGL, I imagine would have had terrible performance). I doubt

It looks like the community had the same thought. I follow the arch-ports mailing list and there is discussion right now about a community maintained 32-bit port. They've registered a github account ( https://github.com/

Threatening to cut federal funding for a major public university after an event like this, however disastrous, is exactly what I'd expect from an authoritarian dictator and not the president of the United States. Had the roles been rev

I tried (and eventually succeeded) to do the same. My problem was being forced to check one of the boxes even though none of them really applied. I ended up checking the third box and provided my own alternate meaning. The really funny part

Although not a scam like this, my parents were tricked into buying an "antivirus" product from a phone call from India. The whole thing was a little bizarre as it wasn't an outright scam. I never got to see the program in wor

Are you honestly trying to argue that the percentage of Asian American adults is approximately equal to the percentage of white/black adults in places like China and India?

by callinyouin 10y ago
That's fair, but then that "rule" would also apply to the number of white/black people in the countries listed, making it lower. Doesn't make the point of considering demographics any less valid.
78.
by callinyouin 10y ago
It might not be, but consider the demographics. Asian Americans make up 5.6% of the population (according to Wikipedia). In any of the countries listed, white/black people surely make up a much, much smaller percentage.

This reminds me of a recent conversation I had with a friend. We were discussing some of the crazy things politicians do (corruption, sex scandals, etc.) as well as some of the batshit crazy legislation they come up with (such as this bill)

Sorry, but I don't buy that you care "a lot about nature and the environment" if you oppose environmentalism in general. We do a lot as human beings to harm the environment, and climate scientists generally agree there is a p

The initial thought of a bunch of adults freaking out about a harmless game is pretty funny, but as someone who played a lot of D&D in their teenage years I have to say I'm glad I "missed out" on this. I had pretty insula

I don't think it's cherry picking or hypocrisy at all. The topics you mentioned are complex and largely unrelated. Just because a "legalize it" attitude towards drugs might be considered libertarian doesn't mean one
