Kind of a "duh" headline to me. The headline of this article isn't that big a deal to me, because every country harbors some level of the preconditions for facism. So I found it more interesting to read about a country that d

Is this another attempt at contributing to the discussion by being "humorous"? Trying to be funny while attempting to explain the joke, and failing at both, should be sending a clear signal. We get it. Math has driven people nuts

This experiment reminds me of an old website where visitors only had so much paint (and it would slowly regenerate over time), and would paint portions of a common canvas. I can't remember the name of the site, but I think it was activ

Did you ever play CoD (the original) singleplayer campaign? It was magnificent for its time, gritty like Saving Private Ryan, epic scores composed by Michael Giaccino, and full of historic flavor (ex: WW2 quotes upon death). You didn't

Except the NRC doesn't have a tolerance for erosion of safety, at all. Look at history, if anything they've gotten more strict over time. Once identified, there is strict procedure about rectifying it. The problem with nuclear i

Agree. Lived in NC for 20+ years, now live in OC too. It was a bit of a culture shock moving here, seeing all the desert and dust everywhere. Happy to see quite a bit of green again!

This is exactly why I correct people from treating other people as "cogs in a machine" to treating them as "cells in a much larger organism".

For comparison, in 6 years game time players could have a very skilled capital-ship-flying character in EvE and participated in numerous 1,000+ player battles (and many smaller ones) in a persistent universe.

It certainly hasn't helped that: - The adage "don't believe everything you read on the internet" from the 90's and 00's has substantially died off. - People have turned to listening to reply, not listening to u

You would be interested in the Winter War between Finland and Soviet Russia in 1939. Finland absolutely outperformed the Red Army to such an extreme that it convinced Hitler invading Soviet Russia was not going to be a problem at all. Nothi

Unsure about the random downvotes. It's CloudFlare's "Flexible SSL" offering. Granted, sibling non-speculative comments elaborate more thoroughly for the "non-flexible" cases.

Policy is great and all. But the DoD culture is more than just policy. Our team once had to defend the decision to use OpenSceneGraph, because one PdM was convinced it could be hacked after deployment.

I don't like Breitbart, but I believe Shopify is making the right call, for a long list of reasons. Instead of focusing on Breitbart and giving it undue attention, we should all be listening to each other. Not listening-to-reply, but l

"Damaged" is certainly an interesting word choice, given that the American standard of sexuality and sexual expression is already unhealthy. Edit to add: Unfortunately I don't know anything about Russian standards.

The real news is Michael Feldman should share with us his count of the atoms in the unobservable universe. I'd be interested in methodology, too.
