Smartphones are largely unexplored as a secondary input devices. It can be a input for gestures (zooming, dragging, etc), as an extra place to add custom keys (think macros), custom sliders and other touch-based UI controls, or it can be a

There is going to be so much people expending their retirement years playing video games (yeah, I know some already do, but it's still rare)

The creators of the atomic bomb regretted having created it. I wonder how long before someone in a spying/miltary agency will regret making a big discovery. Maybe something like an exploit in electricity itself or a way to remotely exp

Not much, because the ones in the valley are the wives (or daughters, or mothers) of the men working in the valley. And you could label such users as anything you want based on your political agenda, I would have labeled them "remote a

How do you conclude is thanks to "toxic masculinity"? And not something else? BTW the slipery slope in such term is revolting, otherwise can you give me an example of common toxic femininity?
192.
by ivanca 12y ago
Yes it is. Psychotic and mental illness are very serious issues, and trivializing them as caused by "masculinity" is as sick as it gets.

Unlike the article writer who is suffering by this harassment, Anita actually feeds herself from it. Such notoriety helped her get some of his goals, including being invited to the Colbert report and other high-profile shows. This is not a

This kind of snarkiness is one of the most damaging things there are. Its way more common in reddit and imgur. The only break there is in such communities for funny/cat pics are things like bansky paints but usually the most voted comm

Then the solution is pretty simple, doesn't it? make it illegal to foreclosure a house for more than 6 months, an "use it or lose it" policy.

The noise is not random, one can see exactly where the artifacts were added (the white parts of the image). And for this solution to work the down sampling must happen inside the program, not in the file system, therefore all network-brakin

You all seem talking as if consciousness is a Boolean, rather than a float number, which is likely the case. This has been strongly hinted by scientific research on some types of (non-human) primates: those who when exposed to mirrors are a
