Some of the psychological theories they have to explain the figures sound like a bit of a stretch to me. I dont see how they could test or prove them. In other countries the pandemic + less driving has resulted in less deaths, as one would

It sounds like you don't understand about various crafts. To me they are a quite analogous to programming. Also, code has barely changed at all since C. It's all just some variables, loops, flow control, some math operations and

People spend way too much time arguing about this.. If you're a good programmer u will be able to do excellent maintainable work in any language you're experienced with. If you're bad you will make a mess in any language. It&

I'm assuming Corten steel would never be used structurally nowadays? I know it's sometimes used as a fancy cladding material, but I'm assuming thats all?

I find it mind boggling that something as simple as this can actually be patented. unsigned average(unsigned a, unsigned b) { return (a / 2) + (b / 2) + (a & b & 1); } That makes the patent system seem bro

What other areas have you experienced? What you're describing is just human nature, every field of human endeavour is like that, because they're run by humans. Despite this, we have made unimaginable scientific progress over the l

A few of those P2P sharing networks from that era are still going fine. I guess they were obscure enough to not get hit with any lawsuits and so just kept going.

I have one of those. An 8770w. It was a beast of a laptop at the time I got it. I inherited it, I would never have bought one, they were ludicrously overpriced imo. I used the crap out of it for years. It started suffering from what seemed

I use trello, I liked it cus it was simple and free and easy to get other people on. But it continually has gotten worse. They are slowly ruining its simplicity, and also adding purposefully annoying bullshit to the free version. Eg. I had

I hate the pirate party name. Also the name of the pirate bay. "Piracy" was a term greedy corporations used PR to apply to sharing. Like sharing tapes and filesharing. They will say they took the term and made it their own but imo

Also replying has been broken for a long time. By default it uses "fancy pants" editor when you are typing reply, and this is totally broken. You have to switch to another mode to reply.

There should be a score multiplier that builds up by getting points in quick succession. That would add a risk/reward element to it.

Roman concrete isn't around cus it was unreinfoced. It's a different mix than what is used in modern times (portland cement usually). Modern concrete wont last 1000 years reinforcing or no.

Doesn't sound like he is trying to torrent over tor.. Just access the tracker website. I use tor to access several of them cus they are blocked at an ISP level in my country, and tor-browser is a convenient workaround.
