Applying those particular criticisms to Iran and not Israel is a special kind of irony given the past ~75 years (but especially the last 2-3), and when the latter is presently attacking the former unprovoked.

Yeah, they can plan whatever they want. No such authority exists, and it must really be emphasized that they're all so stupid.

I don't think it's crazy to worry that, but elections are run by the states, there are over 100,000 poling places nationally, and people are pissed. On Jan 3, the entire current House of Representatives terms end; Democratic gover

A few cosmetic names for patch versions and political banners on websites seems pretty mild. I was a constant user of Notepad++ for more than a decade (until moving my last computer to Linux a few months ago), and never had any idea that th

The EU is to blame for cookie banners on basically every website on the internet. I wish the US had something similar, and that there was more enforcement of disallowing "accept all" buttons without an equivalent "reject all&

I mean, their very first Leadership Principle is "Customer Obsession", so they do at least ostensibly want to be pro-consumer. Though yes, obviously those "principles" are only in service to making money. https:/&#

I'm sure their crawler can handle a zip bomb. Plus it might interpret that as "this site doesn't have a robots.txt" and start scraping that OP is trying to prevent with their current robots.txt.

It's not an advantage for an encyclopedia that cares foremost about truth. Missing pages is a disadvantage though.

I normally don't use a "voice" in my head when reading, but doing so is invaluable when reading Shakspeare. If I can't "hear" what I'm reading, it's much harder to parse.

Who said I thought businesses would always make the right move? Businesses blunder. "The market" is just a set of observations, including that competitors will tend to take advantage of those blunders. It is not a failure of the m

The market doing what it's supposed to do does not negate that the market segment has only been left open because of overly myopic businesses.

That bugged me about the Q11 at first too, for the same reason. I remapped the keys (which is easy to do) so I had Home/End above backspace, and then the three keys on the right are Del/PgUp/PgDn, and it was pretty easy to ge

They weren't starting from scratch 200 years ago either. Tillers were standard in boats for thousands of years, it was a perfectly reasonable way to steer a vehicle. Likewise, at first a purely textual interface was a perfectly reasona

Regarding your second edit, there was 100 years of automobile development (or more, depending on how far back you consider things to be in the lineage of a car, vs the predecessors of them) before the first car had a steering wheel. It&#x27

But that's a tautology. The Nvidia *80 GPU's MSRP has been unreasonable for that long (1080 launched at $600 May 2016, which IMO was already excessive). But there was a window as recently as fall (3-5 months ago) where you could g

I don't want to defend Discord, but that's just not true. That announcement did not say all processing would be on-device, only when you use the face scan. > Video selfies for facial age estimation never leave a user’s devi

More vampires further north, so most people have less extra blood? But more seriously, it seems like 2 months is enough for most people, but not everyone. So it just comes down to whether you want to turn some people away at donation time

by delecti 8mo ago
Yeah, unless your blood is significantly more cruddy than average, the recipient shouldn't really care that you had ulterior motives behind donating.

The article includes a citation that explicitly states the opposite. Specifically citation 20 from the section "The Twist" (which is itself all about this idea): > [20] Mehdipour, M. et al. “Rejuvenation of three germ layers ti

Tenor parts are more difficult, technically speaking, and voices capable of the tenor range are rarer. So any given man joining a choir can more likely manage the bass range, and if they can, they can almost certainly manage the bass parts.

That was my thought as well. At least naively, it seems to follow that regularly donating blood might have health benefits. A typical donation is half a liter, and a person has about 5 liters of blood, so donating should in theory remove ab

The comment I replied to was proposing the opposite equivalent, that fake CSAM (written fiction, AI generated images not trained on real CSAM) could increase risk of action. I don't think violent video games should be banned, whether

That's a valid and interesting question to ask and study, but I don't think it's relevant to the decision of whether it should be illegal.

People are more accepting when there's a person who can be punished. There's also the fact that society generally expects cars/trucks hitting things. A drone impact might be a more minor impact, but it's possible for it

Which is really neither here nor there. Anyone implicated by the Epstein files should go to jail. That can remain true while also not being relevant to a discussion of which party's economic policy has historically performed better.
