The argument is that there's less hotels (and that nobody has noticed that the demand is higher).

And? What's the problem? I see it as a net positive for society. If someone wants to clean toilets, they can do so. Right now, the people who clean our toilets might not want to do it. They are forced. The "non-highly-trained&

The ones who deny science are crazy to me.

There are religious scientists. Doesn't mean they don't understand science or deny it. Today's religion is different in many ways. The ones that say that bible is the 100% correct source of truth are the crazy ones.

At that point the female/male distinction loses its meaning altogether. If anyone can pick their gender, what makes someone masculine and what feminine? Nothing. There's no difference between genders, so lose gender-specific words

Even IF this was true, do you really think the executives on their meetings go like: "Okay, if we deny this, we will go to jail. So let's tell everyone that we are spying on them!" No. Denying is the only smart move here.

If something like this is going on, only a few select employees know about it. Facebook is not dumb. When it comes to "speaking out"... NSA started surveillance projects long before Edward Snowden was employed. There will always b

I feel like FB needed it and also released it to the public, but outside of FB, there's little Reason to use it.

It has worked just fine for me on Ubuntu (and other distros built on Ubuntu) as well as on Arch Linux. I still use Firefox though. Extensions are better.

What I don't get at all is that they specifically tell the person to conceal their identity. If you're running this service for real, you want them to expose their identity to you. This means that you can trap the dude in the serv

Dying as soon as possible is more effective at avoiding cancer, but not as effective at reproducing as much as possible (before getting cancer).

"Aging" might have evolved in part because of cancer, but that does not mean that aging is the best solution to cancer. It's just a method of dealing with it, which might be totally subpar. Evolution never leads to best-case

This sounds like entrapment. I don't know US laws at all, but I thought the "leave the car doors open and wait for someone to steal it" method of catching bad guys was against the law?

Wow, this is great information. Thanks.

The crisp display is truly great. What sucks is that a dual-monitor setup of a low-res monitor and my hiDPI laptop monitor is not that great. I have to upscale my monitor a bit, which makes the monitor look even worse than it already is (19

Even though I don't use Meteor anymore, I still like DDP[1] a lot. It's simple (can be implemented in 50-100 lines), but it is the core of Meteor. There's a specification for it in their Github repo. Meteor's "optim

I don't think many software engineers deal with "computer science problems" in their everyday jobs. GitHub stars are worth much more IMO. It shows that other developers value your work. That says a lot. In the end, we have to

I'd say 200 is reasonable. 140-160 is jogging/running, which is not that fast. When you're about to die and fight-or-flight reactions kick in (i.e. your whole entire body shifts to "OH SHIT" mode), I'd expect y

Yup. From what I've seen, Tay is actually pretty clever. Definitely doesn't really understand what it's saying, but it's the best chatbot that I've seen yet.

I'm in university right now and there is an object-oriented programming course (which is required by most other advanced courses), but no functional programming course. That shows how skewed the industry is. It's a pretty forward-

I have the UX305LA. I had a clicky trackpad[1], so I opened it up and fixed it. It was too good in other aspects, so I couldn't bother sending it back. Battery is replaceable. Still though, with Asus you never know whether your laptop
