Absolutely not. This is not about others' opinions, which you cannot ultimately control. This is about your own action, which is the only thing you can.

Some of these are outdated, some are flawed, and some are plain Victorian silliness. But this maxim is one of the most important that I guide myself by, and the way it's stated really resonates with me: "Your character can never b

This comment needs to be stressed. Altman's article simply doesn't make it clear enough that he's excluding companies such as Time Warner. Military contractors are a whole other issue, of course.

In the faceoff section, we see: Obama (2%) vs Snowden (98%).

I find this really offensive. This post compares Indian cinema to American as if America was the world standard even finance-wise (see other post showing that Indian industry grosses more annually).

How inspiring it is that Bret Victor diligently designs the presentation of his content: to me this is one of the reasons he's apart from others, where often even a great design thinker simply leaves a talk or slides or an essay to be

These homophones have tripped me up tremendously in my English-speaking years, even though I generally great pay great attention to such matters.

I'd still be somewhat weary of doing a targetless force push. For example one may get used to the command and cause damage from a system with an older git.

Would someone be so kind as to explain the following: sub morph { my ($number) = @_; return ((((($number % 7) * 13) % 17) * 19) % 23); } It appears to be some sort of quick authorization check (there is a later `$code =

This is wonderful. Watsi's ability to motivate us toward charity is really encouraging.

SecureDrop is going to end up being so important to journalism and overall freedom I just want to cry endlessly about Swartz's fate, which came far before he (or we) knew about his potential effects on the world.

The Economist backs gun control. Citation? It's in the second paragraph of the article this post links to.

Honestly, I'm a little confused about this article. It's probably one of a few fun little fluff pieces commemorating the anniversary. I don't even read it much and I've always understood, and think most readers understan

Oh yeah. Not only is journalistic objectivity utterly nonexistent but the pretense thereof is angering and ultimately damaging to the quality and value of media.

This is pretty much the best short description of The Economist's editorial policy I've seen, though I don't think like you do that it has a pretense of objective tone. For one, literally the entire article you just discussed

by dmazin 13y ago
The Economist has held its editorial stance for over a century. Your language thus suggests that the print magazine was on its last stand even in the late 19th century.

No AIM? Is this a joke?

It's exciting for people. To them it's news, not a call for discussion.

I guess it's telling that I was surprised by this because I always thought Priceonomics was a blog so interesting as to get YC funding.

The evidence is the testimony that Cuban was told by the CEO about the offering. The jury needed to believe it beyond reasonable doubt, but we don't need to because as individuals, our tolerance for coincidence is much lower than it is

I thought the issue was in the House, and this does not say that the House's game of chicken is over and anything has been resolved there, merely that "some" republicans are joining the democrats. Can someone explain why this

A bit too meta maybe, but that's a great headline. Because who the hell is getting that commission? Where are the people making this magical money?

I don't believe it's a good commercial use because I don't believe Newsrooms need that kind of technological change - they are clearly intended to be showy, not useful, as a 17" screen would certainly do for research. I
