As you say, it isn't. But the author doesn't say that that's what it's for. The author describes three stages in collection, from no data, to third-party collections, and now to government collection. The given Guardian

I peeked into the HN history. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=I%20peeked%20into%20my%20node_... . I believe there are about 35 comments from the 6 previous times this came up 2 months ago.

4chan depend on a central server, which is why lack of funding can cause a failure. Usenet/netnews is the complete antithesis to centralized forums.

It's 93 million miles to the Sun and 1/4 million miles to the Moon. "A few million miles away" places it very close by. Even a few billion miles is still inside the solar system. Pluto is about 4 billion miles away. It&#

A flag at night makes little difference if it's barely visible or not. I think you meant to say "without mandated lights and reflectors". I believe mikepurvis's comment was that a lot of responsibility disappears, not al

The Stonewall riots seem to have lead to long-term success. What better alternative would you have suggested than to riot? The Zoot Suit Riots had the opposite effect from what you describe. Some of the police joined in on the riot against

FWIW, those police appear to be at Charles de Gaulle airport. The OMON are (or rather were) the rough Russian equivalent of a SWAT team. You want the text to be high visibility. One way is with a strong contrast between light and dark. Anot

In Dennis Smith's memoir, "Report from Engine Co. 82", he wrote that in South Bronx people would call the fire department instead of the police, because they didn't trust the police.

MLK was neither praising nor justifying those who riot. Here's the context before and after the quote I gave earlier: > ... it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for

Most protests are made of a mix of people. Many do so peacefully, including those whose actions might be illegal, as in cases of civil disobedience. Some are angry, and express their anger through violence. Some feel that despite a lifetime

Or, to be honest, on a gunboat? Justice has even less seldom been found when the police, government, and court system have little respect for a political minority.

It seems like it would be more important to fund self-sufficient cities here on Earth first. Otherwise it's all too likely that Marsport, to re-use a classic name, will be a repeat of the Biosphere 2 experiments, but without the chance

Ahh, so the text on the page (like U.S.S. Ektorp) is not a title and has nothing to do with the randomly chosen episode. That's what threw me. Well, that and my lack of a Netflix account. Thanks for un-confusing me.

Following on your first point, the paper (grudgingly, IMO) says: > Whether the initial eighteen weeks is worth the roughly $419 million in annual costs can be debated, since Carneiro et al. (2015) find some benefits associated with the

First, a couple objections to your phrasing. I dislike the term 'reach their full potential'. That would require precognition. Perhaps you do study topic X, but your full potential would have been better reached by going for a w
