Honestly I don't think most Americans make that distinction.

So then the question is: Where did the innovators and hackers go? And why aren't they doing that anymore? Where are the next generation of hackers and innovators, and where are they going? And why aren't the lot of them trying to

Yes! I was sad I had to leave it behind (work laptop) and actually strongly considered buying one for myself. Then I started using the P50 and honestly, if I did buy one for myself, I think it would be this one. It's essentially the W5

Why was that disappointing? A dollar is really nothing to even think about. If some random person trying to start a service sends me a dollar based on my busy open source contributions, and then (hints? asks? requests?) that I sign up for t

This can't be understated, truly.

I'm a big Thinkpad person, too. Had and loved the W530. Now I have and love the P50.

I ate it right out of the shell deep in the Filipino jungle. I knew for years what it was and had preconceived notions. Besides the texture of certain parts I could identify while chewing (e.g. feet, beak), it really just honestly tasted li

This is exactly how I've done every insane, amazing, stupid, disgusting, crazy, dangerous, phenomenal thing in my entire life. From eating balut to asking my wife out to maneuvering under fire.

Don't put science up on a pedestal. That's the magic: There is no priesthood. Anybody can do (and talk about, argue about) science.

Yeah, no kidding. I have always worn just typical Levis work jeans for most of my adult life just like my grandpa, and the price for Levis has always been "Holy smokes" cheap in Walmart stores and actually fairly expensive onlin

I'm guessing your assumptions get you riled up fairly often?

Alcohol in modern battlefield contexts is still a consideration. For Western military forces (especially American), alcohol is forbidden in warzones. It's considered contraband and is confiscated from inbound mail. But soldiers do oft

RIGHT. People complaining about these bizarre violent videos but they'll sit their kids in front of mind control all day.

CodysLab is the most recent one to experience this, which is really bizarre, and his explanation video (after his channel was turned back on) reveals that Youtube automation had a lot to do with it.

It always surprises me that people seem so surprised that people were the same way so many years ago. If you read basically anything written by human hands in any time period, it seems they all had very many of the same concerns we do today

Right. When you get your legs blown off, Ibuprofen ain't gonna cut it. That's why Army medics carry morphine.

Oh god, this should be criminal. Once Dun & Bradstreet have your business information -- because you can't do any contracting without one! -- you start to get really really scummy calls trying to trip you up and get you to sign u

Is this huge corporation going to look you in the eye, tell you that you've over/double paid, and then return the overpayment with a handshake? Or are they even going to notice? I'm not saying be dishonest about it, but let

Just because we don't typically carry ourselves in that manner doesn't mean it's never warranted. It is totally reasonable to expect font data to remain constant, and totally reasonable for people to get mad when it's no

Now, now. Are you implying everyone is always making decisions purely intellectually with no other inputs? People make stupid decisions for stupid reasons all the time. In fact most of the time. That doesn't make it any less of a cho

Hey I would suggest not completely disregarding OVH. Their prices are good and their network is usually very reliable and fast. You simply won't find a North American hosting provider with those prices and reliability. You won't f

Yes, very important. I have two dedicated machines in different racks in Canada that were serving requests all night. I was also logged into both machines via SSH all night with no interruption.

Huh. I have services active on two dedicated machines from OVH in Canada, and I was logged into both via SSH all night, and didn't have any interruption at all.

Oh, man. That Google Maps peeve absolutely speaks to my soul. Every single time!

Absolutely. This is my first thought, too. What a ridiculous idea, that we have somehow achieved maximal freedom by giving Intel the legal means to hide from me what I'm being forced to run against my will.

And stupider, "can be resolved by addressing it with the employee"... You just know this company is going to put that employee through a couple hours of some awful corporate video training about motivation.

Par for the course. Youtube has gone completely insane and it is leaving a huge opening for less completely insane competitor platforms.

You're underestimating the power and depth of American and South Korean counterbattery along the DMZ. DPRK will not be able to sustain a prolonged artillery attack. They'll get a their first punches in, but they won't be able

Yes, this is exactly the same way I've been using hidden services for some time. It started as a "stealth gateway" for some of my personal services (e.g. VPN, file server, etc), and grew into something like what you're d
