Tbh I've had a couple tablets and never used them much for anything. The niche between bigger than a phone but smaller than a laptop isn't one that I have many uses for. But, assuming you use a tablet for something, I can definite

"Worthy" I'm not sure about, but if you're talking about ensuring leaders are effective, I get it. But its something of a self fulfilling prophecy I think. If someone is so distracted / distracting because of issues

The title is a little misleading. Whether or not these people are "free software advocates", they appear to be more defined by their social justice cause, and seem to feel that this is more important than actually talking about fr

To some extent, if, as a journal, you have to start policing submissions in the ways described, you have already lost. In that so much of the journal industry is not about sharing knowledge, but about generating a metric (publication count)

When I was in high school (25 years ago) we learned about civil disobedience as an important part of the evolution of the legal system, and as a civic responsibility. Examples like abortion and segregation laws were brought up as important

I think I agree with your sentiment, but should the GP be worse off for being honest/pessimistic/seeing things clearly? I'm sure there are lots of people doing what the GP describes that don't feel they are doing anythin

I always feel like it's better to draw attention to these things rather than let these weirdos reinforce each other in a dark corner of the internet somewhere. "Sunlight is the best disinfectant" and all that. But yeah, I

Because the attitudes about women that embodied in this kind of garbage are so abhorrent that they need to be called ou, debunked, and ridiculed. That's why my original point was that more attention needs to be drawn to this nonsense,

I don't think this is fair. I've known lots of big families at median income or lower and like the GP says, it's about budgeting and priorities. There's a big difference in the cost per kid of having two in daycare, then

Harvesting peoples behavioral or other data is depriving them of privacy. There is lots of precedent for why privacy is important. So to be specific, the data collection is "stealing" privacy. And with respect to the gp comment, t

Somewhat related, I got a new computer this week, and had to boot into windows so I could partition the HD to install linux. This was the first time in 15 years I have booted into a brand new "consumer" windows install (it was win

Sorry if I missed it in the FAQ, do you have finite capacity or do you have an agreement with the data center where you can bring on more gpus with demand. My worry would be to wake up one day and find that all GPUs are in use. And (this ma
