Dunno if you'll see this but I'm from the US. I also haven't had much experience with inter-bank transfers. Most people I know use my bank and its great for international travel.

For sure! The fact is that IRC has existed parallel to the development of this entire industry so the desire to hang about in a chat room is real and should be served, but the modern incarnations of this are causing some people to stop cata

One of the gems in this that i think might be getting overlooked: > This trend of using chats for questions is plaguing open source projects and I think it needs to end. There is no collective learning anymore. This is a very important n

awesome. I always love free and malleable icons :D (also, 'with a blaze' is slightly awkward, i think.)

What if the three letter agencies are the bad guys? I personally think that Edward Snowden is one of the great American heroes of the past 50 years.

Thank you for this comment. JetBrains subscription also drops in price over time to reward you for continued patronage. It's the only subscription model i've ever been comfortable with.

Out of curiosity, do we know that the state actors that built stuxnet didn't simply pay or force those taiwanese companies to turn over the keys?

Holy shit Safari is a smooth 60fps with around 5% cpu load. The differences are really shocking.

Yes, I'm running current chrome on current macOS with a GeForce GTX 980 Ti (6gb vram) and 16gb ddr3. CPU utilization is 75% on all four cores and when drag-scrolling around the map I don't get more than 10fps. EDIT: I measured it

Totally! I was one of these people in high school math! I remember clearly thinking "but i got the right answer >:(" and now as a professional engineer i reminisce about people who want to know why you are right.

"You can't police the dictionary as strategy to stop falsehood and false claims about falsehood." This is a beautiful way to explain this that I'm going to appropriate :)

Further if you were "more accurate" can you produce evidence that you were right for the right reasons that would pass muster among your peers?

Its a concerted effort to discredit expert opinion which the shorter term goal of allowing people to equate their own laymen's understanding with that of someone versed in a subject.

I'm not sure why either of these comments is being downvoted. They're both true at the same time, though I agree with you that the parent comment overstates what Trump actually did which was weaponize the critique into something t

I find that the phrase "political correctness" can almost always be replaced with "treating people with respect."

This is cool and interesting however I believe it's worth noting that the more pernicious issue is that the phrase "fake news" is used to discredit expert opinion that doesn't line up with one's preconceived notions

I accept this as an ideological position, though I disagree with it. I'm not sure this is the best medium to wade into the specifics but tl;r: I have found that the really interesting problems require working together with other people

I mean I think you know what i'm getting at here. This seems like needless hairsplitting, tbh: you either accept/believe/admit/conclude/concede that premise or you don't.

I think opinion is not a great word to use because while, yes, people have opinions that inform their world views this is a question of action. Inaction reinforces the status quo, which is bad, and "YIMBY" people believe they have

In my experience it's not that people feel as though it's inappropriate to participate in political machinery. They believe that "politics" are inefficient and, as such, a waste of their time. I believe the incorrect not

Yeah I see what you're talking about, though I would add that there's a whole sub culture in the news about pointing out bad takes from among the fourth estate. It all seems to depend on where you "hang out" so to speak.

Not to say that they're by any means perfect, but I think what you've pointed out might help explain why many Americans i grew up around see the Chinese government as some sinister and inscrutable entity that is out to silently cr
