How does that example show that their "heart ... is in the right place"? All of the men made it clear that they would only participate if no one got hurt, and one of them was doing so to fund his brother's cancer treatment. I

For reference, the linked (and hilarious) Onion Talks video is satire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tom6_ceTu9s But the blog post itself isn't. Or at least I'm not sure how quotes like "TED Talks are desig

Apparently a mistake exists in Part 2 of the sculpture so it's plausible that there's more. From the Wikipedia article: > There are also a few incorrect letters in the ciphertext which Sanborn has said were intentional, and a f

I'm a bit surprised by the negative feedback this is receiving -- it seems like this is a nice perk that gives women more flexibility in balancing work and family.

You simply can't create an app with a high-quality, Mac-conforming, polished UI with cross-platform tools like Qt. The apps always end up with small but noticeable differences and peculiarities compared to 'native' Mac apps.

Thanks for the feedback! I didn't mean to imply that this project even remotely implements CSP. What I mean to say is that this library is an implementation of the channel primitive associated with CSP. I mentioned CSP to give the proj

No damages? - Go through your entire credit history over a six month period looking for illegitimate charges. (Many people, such as myself, use a single credit card for most of their payments -- that's thousands of transactions.) - Wai

Of course -- the fines don't have to relate linearly to one's income, in the same way that taxes aren't linearly related to one's income. But a system that relates fines to some function of income could be a lot more jus

Of course the NSA needs this ability -- as an agency whose recognized goal is having information, they of course will always need all information. The question is whether we need the NSA, and whether we're willing to forfeit our rights

I'm trying to imagine the reverse situation with a female speaker playing on negative male stereotypes with a primarily-female audience. E.g.: X is my boyfriend: physically strong, just wants sex, doesn't do laundry, generally mes

I'd be surprised if they didn't have prototypes running on ARM processors. I can already imagine their marketing for a Macbook Air that runs for a week on a single charge. Of course such a transition would require developers to re
