This seems like a non sequitur. Total compensation vs. inflation is not a measure of inequality.

You're not saying they're wrong. You're saying that two parties whose opinions you recognize have different opinions on the matter. That's literally what a dispute is.

I can see how your point applies in the case of "the war of northern aggression," but not here. If you're showing different things to different people on different sides of the dispute, obviously you've decided there is

Netflix's last quarterly report showed an operating margin of 18.7%, which I think would generally be considered profitable.

Very often, there is no perfect solution. Even if somebody has some idea what they can do about the problem, that doesn't mean they can just do it and everything is great. Say, if your marriage is falling apart, you can either stick wi

Can you be concrete about what security vulnerabilities you think it would introduce if Apple were forced to deal fairly with people? I don't think anybody's advocating for Apple to put viruses on the App Store.

The assumption that simplicity in a language naturally encourages understandable programs is a mistake IMO. Language complexity generally exists because the language is trying to shoulder some of the complexity that would otherwise go into

The absence of de minimis exceptions is not that important because API copyrights are a terrible idea all on their own.

The EU system is fine with fraud as long as the fraud involved tricking you into approving a charge? That doesn't seem right. So I could sell Rolexes for $50 and nobody could get their $50 back when I send them a toy watch from the Wal

IMO the outdated info problem is the biggest one Stack Overflow has right now, much worse than posts getting flagged as dupes on a questionable basis. Theoretically, you're just supposed to add a new answer that's better — but you

It depends. A marketing team worth their salt won't do things that substantially increase bounce rate just to capture a few emails.

This might make for an interesting relationship between the paper and the LDS Church, which is itself a 501(c)3 that gets involved in politics a lot.

I don't recall negative SEO campaigns being a major mistake Alta Vista made that allowed Google to surpass it.

You can write safe code in C++, but it requires you to go way out of your way and exercise constant vigilance, and it's not always obvious when you mess it up. This is the approach we've been trying for 20 years, and it generall

They used to offer guaranteed two-day shipping and a paid upgrade to one-day shipping; now they just have "Prime Shipping" as the parent said, and what "Prime Shipping" means varies from item to item and time to time. It

This appears to be the website of a Michigan State University physics lab. Assuming a random writer on the lab's blog designed the site seems a bit unreasonable. It's also unlikely a professional designer has ever touched this sit

Ideally I'd like a compile-time error — but that's beyond the current level of technology, so the next best thing is a crash. Having code that does unintended things is the worst-case scenario IMO. (Obviously it's the program

Apple introduced new low-level interfaces four major versions back, and Apple couldn't work up the interest to document them in the intervening years, and then Apple decided to cut off the interfaces that are documented, and somehow

This was addressed earlier in this subthread. It's not just an upgrade to 64-bit — they're also changing the low-level interfaces, and the new ones are apparently not well documented. So while it probably wasn't done on a lar

If you made all the other changes but still called it Python 2, how would that help anything? You're still making the same breaking changes. And if you're not talking about making all the same changes...then it doesn't sound

The idea that climate activists don't focus on energy production seems kind of detached from reality. Climate activism has pushed heavily on renewable energy. They're not advocating for nuclear, but that makes sense at the moment

No, that's not at all what this is about. A better one-sentence summary would be "Accurate data can be very misleading if, for example, it's viewed at the wrong level of granularity."

The title says that a phenomenon was observed for the first time, not that this is the first non-Abelian phenomenon we've observed. The article is specifically about a non-Abelian version of the Aharonov-Bohm effect.
