It doesn't seem to be able to work Python 3.5. It doesn't find the path and now the interface is stuck.

They are probably comparing amount of pollution per km travelled, per tonne of vehicle. I agree, the article is so imprecise as to be completely worthless in terms of information content.

Is this a joke? You actually want people to upload their history to the cloud. People don't even want it on their own computers. That was the point of incognito mode!

As someone who has actually found Apple's design principles to be stupid and dumbed-down to the point of being dumb, I am not sure if I agree or disagree with this article.

? Where did you see more customizable options in Vivaldi. Their technical preview is just basically a Chrome reskin and a very clunky reskin, for that matter.

ChromeOS is portable browser. And Google has shaped the eco-system to ensure that that is all 50% of the userbase needs. This is an achievement.

1. Effective communication of a protocol has no relevance to its efficacy. So that's a plainly unscientific test of the 'truthiness' of anything. 2. No phenomenon ever, scientific or not, can be guaranteed to be stable in the

Independent replication does occur when someone furthers the research, usually as a preliminary test of current knowledge before diving into new experiments. I personally took great joy when what I had reported was used and confirmed in the

>I don't see how a method that does not require independent replications can be considered science. There is an implicit benefit-of-doubt here - that the scientists themselves have independently replicated the experiment before publ

Very often, one reports that a particular phenomenon or result reported in previously could not be reproduced in a different experiment. This is just reporting that that particular result may be complex and context-specific. This is a negat

I am wondering if people really use SMS anymore these days. At least here in Europe and also in India, SMS usage has dropped of precipitously.

We all know what keeps Facebook going. Facebook isn't running on well-paid, well-employed family dudes who want to get in touch with relatives. Nor on intelligent commentators on society and tech. It is kept going by gossipy teenagers

40% of women quit tech mid-career. That is a just a statement of fact (I presume). But is that a bad thing ? I mean, it is possible that there are several good reasons for the phenomenon.

I donated and got the Pro version. But upon removing and reinstalling it, it seems to have forgotten that I have the Pro version. It's back to the free version now. How do I put in my email address so that I can reactivate Pro features

Biologist here : This belief of increasing complexity is just a relic of the times when we thought humans were the pinnacle of evolution. It is a basic misunderstanding of evolution. The single-celled organisms of today have evolved longer.

I am unsure why anyone would use this, since web space is cheap (there are less 20$ a year domain and hosting plans) and its pretty trivial to get a Flatfile blog running on PHP. I personally prefer Yellow from datenstrom to run my blog. An

Umm, no. See Firefox gives no one any reason to hate it based on idealogy. It's a pro-consumer, pro-internet user, privacy-respecting, standards-compliant browser. What is not to love in this ideology? All the same, as of 2015, it is a

If you had taken a moment to actually scan those search results, you would have realized that "Chrome is the new IE" is typically a reference to its ubiquity. Safari and Firefox is typically called the new IE because they are lagg

Yes, I program on a netbook. I find the resource limitations useful in writing programs that are very efficient. I do mostly scientific programming, so if it runs on my netbook, it flies on my cluster.
