This article has the same blindspots as traditional breweries; it asserts "The most obvious difference is that lager yeast works best in cold temperatures -- temperatures that would make an ale yeast go dormant." This is not a cor

I'm not trying to imply complete equivalence between the two. I'm trying to point out that just because you think Trump "is an idiot" or whatever, that doesn't mean his administration is performing objectively worse

Yes, I can, but that's only because I have read that book. Which cites its sources for everything. If you can't compare it, that's because you're missing the data to do so. I'm quite certain you'd like reading

If you think the previous administration was "better", you probably haven't read Thomas Frank's book, "Listen, Liberal!". Thomas Frank is a lifelong Democrat and an actual liberal. It illustrates how US politic

I agree, I'm not saying it's useful in a sense other than academic/historic. I was only reacting to "NIH". I guess you might be arguing that Mir continues as a consequence of nostalgia from an original not-invented-

I don't think the guy who posted this works for Canonical at the moment. If he does, his launchpad page is very sparse compared to other employees. I'm not saying that to disparage him in any way, but because it would make it inco

It's serious, but it's only a proposal, very a recent (~10 days old) one at that, so there's no code yet. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-Sh...

Indeed, I've read on and off about ISPs lobbying local US government bodies for probably a decade or more. I'm not sure what we are discussing, or if there is any point of contention between us that I can't see. Perhaps you&#

Wow, thank you - I've never heard that argument before. I'm not sure I know of an intelligent right-leaning person who thinks monopolies of any kind is a good idea, but I can see the argument being used in a "stepping-stone&q

I was not making myself clear; the top comment seems to imply that there's some sort of natural connection between anti-globalism (in the popular sense of the term) and a rejection of net neutrality laws. I am a fierce proponent of net

You seem to interpret swolchoks comment as a negative, in the sense that his wife doesn't like that kind of question. That's what I am unable to do based on what he wrote. I am unable to infer anything from it. Where I'm from

It also obviously excuses your behavior regardless of what you do. Let's say you're a selfmade man with working class background parents, and you worked two jobs while going to school, and now operate and run your own business, ma
