In real life, would you also respond to a trivial personal anecdote with moral chastising? Does the discussion have to take a form of geopolitical virtue signalling anytimes it grazes a big 'bad' event like a war? Is it ok to tal

A description of what the code does: First, the line webbrowser.open(" https://xkcd.com/353/ ") is obvious, it opens a browser pointing to the relevant XKCD comic, containing a joke which inspired this code. Th

Seems plausible, it fits with the larger theme of mercenary misdoings and their use as an underhanded, unofficial military influence exercised by states. And Russia is particularly notorious for this sort of thing. I wonder how necessary th

Maybe the issue is that the symbols we readily accept are the ones we grew up with when learning Mathematics, + - * / ^ % = .. If 'reduce' and 'map' had widely used symbols, which were taught in school / univer

I agree with the first part. But as long as money is created, it has to be either 1), 2), or 3). And in the case of banks, it's certainly not 1) or 2).

This is true and I'm surprised at how little it is discussed and how long it took me to understand this simple fact. if you have a bunch of participants with money, and create new money,either you 1) give each participant an equal amou

For some reason, my brain thought your comment was a Haiku at first. Here it is in actual Haiku form (don't ask me why): ``` Props for resigning Regulatory capture Sucks and brings danger ```

I definitely had this: got the first shot and felt confident, cocksure that I would have no symptoms at all being healthy and young. Woke up during the night ~8 hours after the first shot feeling a little out of breath, with strong and almo

In general, I can't believe there isn't a truly good sync app for android. I use Insync on the PC, and was disappointed to learn they used to have an android app which they discontinued. Currently I use DriveSync Pro to keep a few

Consider this more a wild speculative rambling than actual thorough evaluation, so take that grain of salt (I do work in AI/vision research): The probability that they can safely pull this off is very low. Right now progress in vision-

This article reminded me of the word "decimate" Though it is now used to mean "to destroy a large number of", it used to have a very specific meaning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimation_(Roman_

Right, this is true for the owner's manual. The service manual, on the other hand, is clearly written by engineers. Example: http://www.geersgonewild.com/z1000/Manuals/2007_Z1000.pdf

Right, but your comment doesn't do justice to the beauty of the solution being so concise. Is it a coincidence that the same exponent 4 works for both multiples of 3 and 5? What if instead of 3 and 5, we did FizzBuzz with 7 and 11? Let

if the tunnel is unimportant, not worthy of being protected, then shouldn't it bother no-one that people go and loot it? But it does bother me that people would loot it. It seems misguided to simply hoping that someone doesn't e

I wonder if it could be related to the traditional roles where "the woman" is a guardian of her sexuality, which "the man" covets. He has to act, and shape himself into something She likes, or She will pick someone else.

Love bitwarden and use it every day (paid user). I like almost every part of the experience except an annoying issue where the autofill doesn't work on firefox android (everything latest version). it shows up 10% of the time, for a few

It's a hard to describe feeling when you discover one of these obscure super-specific projects built out of passion. I guess it's the feeling of my brain reassessing how many amazing hidden gems are out there. Wonderful! I can&#x2

The idea is pretty good, but misses the mark. Bitcoin has shown that decentralization is a bad idea. What people actually want is Sharebowl: a single bowl, the size of oregon, that you can trust to keep your valuables safe. We plan an ICO b
