I agree with the general sense of your post, and its implications about current drug policy, but I think tptacek is right about what our focus should be in this specific trial. To be intellectually honest about this specific case we're

You're right. It's working in Firefox now for me as well.

Only works for me in Chromium. Firefox is displaying "box.name" and "box.description" instead of their values.

Interestingly enough, it comes from the Chinese word 洗脑 (xǐnǎo), literally meaning to "wash brains", which was used to describe the 1984-like attempts Mao used to re-educate dissident intellectuals.

If you simplify an explanation, it still needs to do the explaining, even if it's in the form of a high-level overview. I don't even see mention of the dialect you're teaching. Especially since you're targeting people in

I'm not treating the bugged part as fact. I do believe that there's at least a 99% chance that there was a break-in and that it was related to his interrogation.

Yup, see my reply to venus's more lengthy set of concerns. Oh well, I hope venus learns the Truth some day. ;)

So provided Wikipedia's description is correct, the name Hacker Scouts is indisputably a trademark violation. The question is solely whether or not the BSA charter is constitutional.

Without a question, the one with text objects. Productivity is far greater with vim. Actually to be fair, Sublime's vim emulation mode implements a few text objects, but the proprietary source means no adding our own.

Oh good pick-up. Only the correction was May 2013. But no update, i.e. no new information that refutes this hypothesis, is if anything an indicator that this isn't "old news" and is a promising hypothesis that has yet to gain

Yeah I wish the HN mods didn't change my title. Saying it's from 2011, or that the mystery is now reopened, doesn't do the article justice. It provides highly compelling evidence for the exact identification of Satoshi Nakamo

Corrective upvote since you answered half the question. XD But yeah, I wonder if Bose's consumer-level reputation of having no competitors that are both better and cheaper is deserved. Hopefully Eikenberry can answer that.

Could you please list those better quality and less expensive alternatives for my edification? :) Especially active noise-cancelling headphones that are better quality and cheaper than QuietComfort. The Audio Technica ATH-M50s mentioned in

Aspects were not the feature they touted as the reason to move. That would be decentralization. But the parent post said there were literally no features besides privacy, and I wanted to point out that that isn't strictly true.

by dsrguru 13y ago
Perhaps you're not understanding the parent's use of "closed system"? It means a proprietary environment with no access to the underlying source code.

Not nothing. It offers aspects, which allow you to group your friends into different categories so you can easily choose who to share what content with. Google found them useful -- at least enough to rename them circles...
