Consider Alli, the drug that blocks fat absorption in the body. It already exists and works reasonably well for weight loss. The side effects can be gross and unpleasant though.

In general we want the richest and most powerful members of society to behave predictably, and ideally rationally, so that we can make long term plans without worrying about the fickleness of a small number of people. We have a lot of probl

It's ~200 miles each way from SF to Tahoe. I imagine that's a pretty important number for people considering an electric SUV. Model 3 advertises a 325mi range, and Musk says the Y will get about 10% less than the 3.

This isn't bullying a tiny competitor. McD's would have no problem with a company called "SuperBurger" instead of "SuperMacs". They want to protect their customers from potential confusion.

Yup, this is exactly the problem. Currently JSON.parse() will silently truncate large numbers. This behavior made sense when there was only one numeric type in the language, but BigInt opens the door for arbitrary precision integers.

What is the value of JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(BigInt(Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER) + 2n))? > Finally, BigInts cannot be serialized to JSON. Hmm, ok. I guess that's fine. But what about large numbers coming from over the network? Can we

Look at how fast they're monetizing: https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/snapcha... (from the article). I'm sure the first half of 2016 has been insane.

No, but most companies filter out the most unreasonable people in their hiring process. I think you're making a caricature of these people's attempts to support their coworkers. "Microaggressions" in this context means t
