The question "what is truth?" is as old as time, and so important that we've created a system to analyze it and attempt to come to a consensus[0]. If an idea is untestable, it is logical and good for your sanity to assume tha

Nah, the major parts are automated at this point. Thanks though! Just let me know how it can improve.

Thanks, it is now pruning error 1003 too. Let me know if there is anything else.

I'll start working on one now. edit: Done. It'll take a while, but soon the database will be pruned. It will remove 404s and sites that don't respond in 0.25 seconds. edit2: It will remove status 500 as well. Let me know if t

I agree completely that further filtering would improve the site a lot. That kind of filtering would require a lot more than a basic port scanner. I'll probably do it someday. It's also really fun to find web servers on nonstandar

Re your second case: When economic incentives line up with environmental goals, progress is made. OP should have been transparent, but if someone makes a profit while improving other people's eco-footprints, it's a win-win.

I was not aware this was available, thank you! It appears to work on the mobile version of Firefox as well.

I am not aware of any research, I've only connected the dots from my experience. I was super pale growing up, had orthostatic hypotension, dry skin, sweated insanely during puberty, and felt like I got progressively stupider as I got i

On 2 and 3: aspartame metabolizes into the amino acid phenylalanine, a precursor to dopamine and epinephrine[0]. In normal people, breakdown of the upstream neurotransmitters increase when phenylalanine increases, meaning there are no negat

How do we draw the line in what norms to enforce? And who determines that those norms are actually better than the ones in place? It seems like this would be a great way for multinational corporations to become cultural and moral enforcers,

On sites like Reddit and HN, hiveminds absolutely occur from the voting algorithm. Content that caters to the lowest common denominator of the site or subreddit is what ends up at the top, and people with differing views stop expressing the

The post adds value because it puts the China post into perspective. There's a trend right now to make China the political Boogeyman, when the geopolitical reality is more nuanced.

This is actually exactly the response I was hoping for. Any community that responds in a black-or-white manner on a cultural issue like this one would be completely incapable of supplanting a global site like Reddit.

It looks interesting. Your blog says it has "Limited tolerance, especially for assholes." I'd like to ask you a question that would help elucidate this ethos. Let's say a user makes a comment about how illegal immigrants

My wife is a respiratory therapist. When asked, she said higher-than-average CO2 is seen in COPD patients, and is compensated through an increase in metabolic bicarbonate production, countering the acidic properties of CO2. We are still ent

Many can agree that society needs to change. The important questions are how does it need to change, and what is a viable path of creating such change? Politically, we can't do something that would lower our quality of life en masse, w

Limiting further population increase is in no way equivalent to saying kill yourself. This is a gross exaggeration.

Rich fat people exist, and are demonized too. Obesity is a result of overeating, and can be avoided even if you're poor. Rice and frozen bags of rich veggies are cheap.

I disagree completely. Self-loathing and the desire to be desirable was the only reason I ended up losing weight. Shame not feel nice, but it does provide social pressure, which if not addressed maladaptively can be a good thing.

Most streamers, myself included, use a filter called a noise gate, which requires the volume of the mic reach a certain threshold before being broadcast. This filters out the majority of background noise on the stream.
