Is "QAnon" even a person? I am under the impression that is a moniker that has likely been used by numerous unrelated people. I know believers of this stuff think "QAnon" is a person, but I've not seen any evidence

Perhaps the "non-uniformity" of the modern web is not the source of fun in the author's life. Isn't that more likely than the author wanting an unfun life?

I'm not the one who licensed this software this way, so your complaints are misdirected. I'm just pointing out the practical reality of the situation, that if you were to violate the license in the way you describe, nothing bad w

I don't think it's just a matter of people being illogical, (although it's certainly the case that all people will be illogical at least some of the time.) How people interpret what they observe is fundamentally subjective.

I don't mean these to be metaphors to some other situation. I mean them to be real examples of the shortcomings of video evidence in determining objective truth. Both are examples that doubtlessly cause heated arguments facebook mo

Even in cases of clear video of an event, two people may come to opposing conclusions about what the video actually depicts. An example I saw on HN recently was the video from Seattle of a car hitting and killing two protestors on a highw

Let's be real, nobody is going to SWAT you for not telling your guitarist friend about software licenses. It's really a non-issue; if you want to get particular about such things that is certainly your prerogative. But if that&

I don't think they mean ML in general is boring, just that this particular application of it isn't particularly flashy.

The one shown in that movie uses compressed air. Some other sorts use powder charges, just like a powder actuated nailgun.

I'd bet against it. It seems to hold up well against abrasive tools, but an aluminum foam with ceramic balls embedded in it doesn't sound like the recipe for an all around robust lock shackle. How would it stand up against bo

I think there's a bit of a mixup here. CHAZ/CHOP was in Seattle, not Portland. The "CH" stands for Capitol Hill, a neighborhood in Seattle.

I think it was probably reasonable for him to only offer his car in black due to mass manufacturing logistics of the time. However I think he could have explained this, instead of making some pithy remark about other people having wrong op

Here's my problem with that quote: it comes from the same man who also said "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black." Considering that context, I view his horses quote as another

Even so, that's massive discrepancy in efficiency if it's really just a matter of the hardware. I think we're missing something still.

In the past month I've received four half-dollar coins as change, which is four more than I've seen in the past decade. It seems like stores are reaching the bottom of their coin drawers; using coins they normally wouldn't.

There are many American cable TV channels that forbid nipples simply because advertisers forbid it. Exceptions to this, channels like HBO, are able to show nipples because they aren't beholden to advertisers.
