I remember the disappointment. I had a Genesis at the time, I loved it, and I was primed to be a continued customer for Sega. From my perspective, all they needed to do was to release a decent next-gen console with games support.

That's because for many of us outside of the EU, it doesn't mean much besides yet more email from content providers regarding changes to their privacy policies that I just delete. I wish you guys the best of luck with it, though.

The disclaimer was added after the fact. So you're saying that the guy is open to criticism of his work and correcting it. You say that like it's a bad thing. I don't see how it's irresponsible to work hard at being a

This screed is disappointing to me. We tell people to go out and do their own research. We tell people to avoid just buying into group think. We want people to be informed citizens who do research, share their research with others, and a

I took the family on the Carnival Triumph years ago for a first-time cruise. It was okay and we had fun - but we had nothing to compare it to. A few years later we went on a Disney Cruise... we won't be going on Carnival ever again.

Yeast is everywhere. I was recently reading about how to cultivate wild yeast in a jar left on your countertop for use in making sourdough bread. What happens when some of the yeast you capture in the environment is producing psilocybin? I

I'd be all for holding politicians in charge accountable, but that's where everyone gets squishy depending upon who they support? One guy's being wrong becomes another guy's "not that big of a deal". By what me

I guess it depends upon what you mean by "unfamiliar". Erlang's syntax is unnecessarily divergent from a lot of mainstream languages. So much so that it makes it more difficult for mainstream developers to get into. Elixir

The early talk about wearing masks struck me as particularly egregious. We were told: they don't help, you won't put it on properly, you'll just get yourself sick using it, you'll have a false sense of confidence. That&

Great idea. Also, after people become trained to change their behavior when hearing that Ralph "I'm in danger", start playing it periodically when people are on Twitter, Facebook, etc. The world will be a better place.

Just think of all of the panic news stories where the facts and the corresponding emotional impact evaporated within 48 hours. Quick-release news cycles are toxic to a healthily informed society the way that rumor-mongering is toxic to heal

There seems to be some sort of desire to say "Brexit didn't cause this" You can look at it from the other side too, ie. why is this the top story on Hacker News? This isn't even a mildly interesting technology, develo

On a related note, I have a 2018 MBP touchbar and it's currently out at Apple so they can replace the bulging battery. My guess is that it runs too hot sitting on my wooden desktop. Anyone have any great recommendations for quiet cool

Is that what the CEO of VW is saying here? Their Serengeti autonomous adventuring vehicles might get stuck? If so, I totally missed that nuance.
