If you could let me know any specific hosts that do this (in private if necessary) I would much appreciate it.

If your content is such that Rackspace closes your account, reliable hosting probably isn't nearly as much a commodity as you describe. All hosts have clauses in their TOS to let them close your account if you become an inconvenience.

I assumed that's what this was: git-like management of lists. As soon as I found out the social aspect was mandatory, I tried to figure out how to close my account and failed. Please, people: If you don't have a way to delete accounts on yo

No, it does not. I've been casually following the development of GCLI (formerly known as "Cockpit") for a while now. It started as a debugging component of the Ace editor.

There isn't anything of importance in cosmology that's a clean multiple of 14.6 billion LY. Anything under discussion at that scale would by influenced by the Hubble expansion. But, yeah, being misinformed about cosmology doesn't make you a

This is a misconception. If you just want a satisfying mental image of the Universe: It's really big, it doesn't have any point defined as its center, and it doesn't have any wall-like borders. Aliens living 14.6 billion LY away from us see

by goodside 14y ago
The short answer is nobody has a plausible upper bound on the size of the entire Universe, and there's no firm consensus on whether it's literally infinite. If it is finite, there is no "wall" or "center", since it's not a big sphere -- a f

These are all policy statements and intuition-based speculations. I don't doubt for an instant that many people have speculated about why diversity might be good for software. What I doubt the existence of are empirical studies showing that

The moral of the story here is that you shouldn't invest your time and emotional energy into things that actually belong to other people. You didn't own a website here. You didn't write code, you didn't set up servers, and you didn't sit ar

There are no plans to permanently stop doing posts as far as I know. OkCupid's user base has been growing rapidly over the past year, to put it mildly, but we're still only ~30 people so we haven't had much time for the more peripheral aspe

I can do 50 push-ups. I'm not an athlete but I'm in shape enough to be healthy. I'm by no means "underdeveloped". I appreciate your concern -- thanks.

I tried sitting down periodically. It just reinforced how much more comfortable it was to sit than to stand. I find it completely implausible that being thin would making extended standing harder. Flies in the face of everything I've ever r

I used to be an advocate of the standing desk. I bought an adjustable-height Fredrik workstation from Ikea, tried multiple heights to find the most comfortable, and stuck with it for six months. It didn't work. Even after months of practice

By what mechanism did you conclude that random controlled trials are more trustworthy than observational studies? Does that mechanism more closely resemble an observational study or a random controlled trial?

This is an extremely bold and unsupported assertion: "[Men] were the one who decided what products failed and what products succeeded. That's why companies like Asus tweet ridiculous, sexist stuff. That's one reason why less than 10 percent
