That requires that you did something that you are very sure the country you end up in won't just prosecute you for themselves. If your crime is massively embarrassing to the US govt you go to Russia, or heinous sexual assault of a 13yo

Me neither, my first encounter with it was 3 or 4 years ago at a backpacking shelter in Iceland.

I'm really not sure what you are getting at. Psychology is pretty definitively a science. So is a massive chunk of medicine. Science holds extra weight because it involves at least attempting a verification step following an idea. Trea

I think we can maybe inject a little bit of extra nuance here. Not every field is the same, they vary massively in size, level of external influence, and complexity in subject matter. Psychology suffers more than most. It's a large fie

Hahaha, it is a bit of a catch-22 though isn't it. In debunking a paper like this you have to understand that your are cutting away the foundation that people built their careers on, and you may be fundamentally damaging their academic

Seconded. Blindly implying that economists of all groups are blatantly appropriating math from other fields without understanding it seems a step too far to me. I'm sure it happens, but I've worked in conjunction with people writi

Large portions of AWS are widely regarded as waking nightmares. Elsewhere largely seems to be fine.

Assuming the author is primarily directing this sentiment at people attempting to make a living in indie dev, then I agree with them. Or at least with the larger purpose of dissuading people from "following their dreams d'art&quot

Oh wow, everybody else is debating the specific intricacies of the design decisions, and I'm here wondering why you would complain about not enough instructions in an architecture with "RISC" in the name.

I can't think of too many downsides to making bot scalping illegal, making it illegal to misunderstand demand seems more fraught......unless this is sarcasm.

What do you mean? Nintendo could sell the NES Classic for 13k if they wanted to, but nobody would buy it. Companies choose their pricing very carefully, and there are a whole lot more factors than max value on secondary market that go into

It might not work well for digital goods, but physical ones are much easier to control. Edit: and even for digital goods, it would force people away from the most convenient storefronts.

I guess I don't disagree, but not sure I understand the point if all you need is one guy with a copy of illustrator/photoshop/whatever?

A relational database can also be stateless and lawless if you try hard enough. But I think that the point that a lack of recourse is inherent to the technologies ideology does ring somewhat true.

So, not to play devil's advocate, and I'm sure they would push against a federal law just as hard, but I can understand a reluctance to allow state specific privacy laws. That sucks, and compliance would be very expensive and comp

Yes, 100%. Without question. I know it's trendy to hate modern languages and frameworks but they do reduce overall dev time even if they have more of an initial learning overhead.

We use additional compute power to enable frameworks and abstractions that allow code to be written faster. Sure it's bloated but at least there is a reason.

Don't want to put words in anyones mouth, but if it runs linux, it's probably not what the author was talking about. Hence Arduino rather than rpi

By size maybe. Way less disruptive than a highway though.

Pretty much every company would do something like this. No reason not to discourage people from buying.

I'm definitely not agreeing with the parent comment in fact it really rubs me the wrong way, and I'm probably not even entirely disagreeing with yours, but ffs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_

And they should be helped. Absolutely. Regardless of the reasons I think people who need it should be helped. I just think that the most difficult group to help is also the group that causes the most serious issues.

I will admit that my current tax rate is a little....irritating in a state that can't seem to provide reasonable roads or trains, especially trains, ffs why is the east coast so much better at this. But I think that the segment of the

haha, as it should. Taking the "hard line" here seems awfully stupid to me though. Isn't that what causes the problem? I would happily pay my share of taxes to provide the most problematic homeless with a lifetime supply of h

I do wonder about number 2. Obviously it's a great solution, and even a less expensive one that you might think for a pretty good swathe of the homeless. But I've always had a pet theory that the real reason NYC and SF homeless se

Let's get one thing out of the way first, I support tax money being used to support the homeless, regardless of the cause of said homelessness, so maybe I am not the correct audience for the article but... I am incredibly confused as t

Stabilized wood is essentially as hard as whatever it's stabilized with. But yeah, the interesting concept is the densification. I dunno about replacing steel, but if soft fast growing woods can be converted into something closer to a

Not really "separately", pretty much as a rule hardwoods grow very slowly. Pretty much any fast growing wood is going to be soft.

Huh, I've actually had pretty good experiences with venison. My family weren't hunters, but our house was on an old farm that had been planted over with a pine forest, and we used to have guys come by and ask to hunt on our proper

Despite knowing it was the same base as canonical, it somehow never occurred to me to spell it that way. Thanks for the heads up, but since google hasn't decided it approves of "headcanon" I was forced to compromise in my cor
