Actually it's akin to asking Americans, can you point out Missouri on a map?

Ok thanks for the heads up.

No I was thinking about an AMD system from https://system76.com/desktops

Agree. And anything that needs it goes into a container.

Does she ever comment here any more?

Yeah I'm still a little pissed about not getting the green bar for payments (and definitely about not being able to see 'https' to verify it).

They don't seem to have any AMD processors. :( I'm thinking about system76 but I don't know anybody who has one.

Although I find your answer upsetting, I also find it reasonable. +1.

Oh- so you're that neighbor. It's not just a change in your aesthetics that's needed. If you live in a community then it's prudent to get community buy-in. Especially if you have kids. Community reputation means a l

I'm getting the feeling reading this thread that gaming may have replaced porn as the internet use spurring the most rapid innovation. Is this an accurate assessment? I'm not involved with either, but in the very early days it w

Lol. You're splitting hairs: confirm/check/verify all mean the same in this context. It was exciting, controversial and thrilling. I was there. Of course the default mode was skepticism. Even for (3). But you are fooli

I'm not blaming- I'm simply pointing to anomalous results, outside of the accepted paradigms. They weren't shunned for this result. If what they had found had been confirmed, others would be free to publish more theories&#x

Thank you very much for that link. It even points to the magazine my 10 or 12 year old self took to be authoritative as getting it wrong! Next you're going to tell me there's no Easter Bunny!

The price of the experiment depends, of course, on the experiment. The point is there was an initial excitement as well as initial skepticism. Then there were investigations. The community eventually accepted the preponderance of evidence

I wasn't old enough to have access to original journals (nor the ability to understand them) in the 1970s, but Science News was considered a trustworthy source, as was Scientific American, for the layman. EDIT: Frondo's link (sib

This is an extremely important point. Since I was a grad student, there have been at least 5 monumental "findings" in physics: 1. A spinning top weighs less if it spins one way than if it spins the other 2. A "fifth force,

I think his point is that if you have to do about:profiles, then that's not usable for a lot of people. Having something that works like containers is a lot more usable: click, select profile.

Yes- so it's important that devs don't build primarily for Chrome. If we succumb to this temptation, then the demise of the web will be our fault. Consumers don't care. They are going to use the one that is most convenie

IIRC, the job ads are a perk of getting into Y Combinator. So even if they are seen as annoying by some, it's expected that they will just suck it up and deal. After all, Y Combinator is why the forum exists.

When they lied about their monitor size I got a coupon for a few bucks off my next purchase of an Apple monitor. Never used it.

Is it sticky? I'm trying to create a good veggie-burger, and need something that can form a patty when I mix in the beans etc.

He is saying that if an 'ad' hits the right person in the right way, that person will share it withing a large group. So you may pay more to reach the first, but after that the target audience does the work for you by sharing. -&

Measuring influence by spend might be misleading. The leverage they discovered on social media could have surprised even them. I saw a lot of nonsense get spewed on Facebook- things that could be quite simply fact-checked, and people compl
