Islamic terrorists (e.g. ISIS), like white supremacist terrorists, have a hard time finding web hosting for the same reasons. Nobody is being denied from the play store because they are white, nor because they are muslims. That would be ill

I'm sorry, did I stifle your right to criticize them? Criticize away! And it's my right to criticize your criticism ;).

What does free speech mean outside of the context of law? You don't have free speech in my house, your free speech doesn't mean I have to broadcast it. That doesn't mean I'm violating some ethical concept.

In my opinion they can't refuse to serve people because of their sexual orientation, but they can refuse to bake a cake for a gay wedding (which was the case in the example you refer to). There is a subtle difference between the two.

This has nothing to do with free speech, or net neutrality. This is a private business who reserves the right not to serve anyone. A hypothetical christian registrar might refuse to do business with an abortion clinic. Many refuse to do bus

This person shows you an overt example of racism - even one with a "Japanese only" picture! - and you find nothing better to do than cast doubt on his account and complain about tourists in your country.

I recommend reading "Debt: The first 5,000 years" by David Graeber. It made the idea of honor as a social currency click for me. In a community where your good name is your main asset, honor killings are rational (not making any e

For some restaurants, unveiling the food is a big part of the experience and photos would ruin a lot of the fun. E.g. Atelier Crenn in SF

Not quite, only the Pionneers wear an apron (and a beard! and an axe!) when they parade, and it's not a butchers apron but a workman's leather apron.

No, the chinese government is not adopting the same stance as previous US admins. The US have an embargo against North Korea, whereas the chinese are selling them materials to build their missiles with. They could start by putting political

I cannot help but feel some schadenfreude as we watch the majority of the US's oil refineries get threatened by rising sea level.

You're wrong, bandwidth on different interfaces (PC<->HMD, HMD<->panels, ...) is very much one of the hard parts.

"You just need to find someone that will take 4k screens out of some phones and put them in a headset." Ha! With what cable? 4K * 2 * 90hz blows way past display port (even DP1.3). If it was just a matter of gluing two android pho

You lost me at that last paragraph. Slinging mud as one minority does not make a strong case for how little mud-slinging-at-minorities happens around you.

Kakoune is neat, but the lack of a windows version makes it a non-starter for me (I need Windows, Linux, OSX to cover my use cases).

Similarly to another poster: is this the standard you hold the USA to? "It's not as bad as Iran"?

adventured: what you're missing here is that having other people get free education and healthcare is a benefit to you . Lots of evidence to support that, delightfully summarized in "The Spirit Level" by Wilkinson and Pick

This seems to support Windows(1), but running setup.py yields a "OS-X only" (not verbatim) error... (1) Looking at the source, it implements a nice abstraction over Sessions, which can be backed by either pty (unix) or named pipes

Quad SPI XIP is pretty common these days. Plenty of modern MCUs bundle it as an option, some like this one (but also some Toshiba part, to name one) use it as the only option. It's workable, and you can put performance-critical code in

I have one of the HiFive boards from the first batch they shipped a week or so ago. It works as advertised, the PCB is beautiful, and it's significantly less proprietary than any board I've used before. All in all, well done. That

At this point I think it's either fix it yourself or look elsewhere :(. I don't think the current maintainers have the bandwidth to port it to WebExtensions.

I would say 0 chance. Vendors typically need to rev silicon to support new bluetooth releases.

I think you're using the wrong metric. It's not flash/RAM that makes something "IoT", it's size, cost, and power.

There is solid evidence that slow, steady inflation is beneficial to the economy. Besides the emotional appeal of "they're stealing my money!", the onus is on you to prove otherwise.

Navdy looks neat, but I have a hard time believing that $799 is the right price point for something that competes with a $20 cell phone holder... Perhaps I'll eat my word :).
