I'd argue that "all men are created equal" is NOT an absolute moral truth, which is what I am sure you meant (unalienable means unable to be taken away). It's something I feel very strongly to be true, but it's some

They're things that seem to exist for people who believe in absolute morality stemming from a higher power. Let's just ignore the problem that no two people who believe in absolute morality can seem to exactly agree on what is abs

I don't get the advantage of that image, though. It makes sense for them to acquire things that make it easier to get started with Docker. I wouldn't be surprised if they acquired Panamax too.

Of course not. If the way you ask people out on dates involves overt sexual advances, that's definitely not an appropriate way to do it in the workplace.

Yeah, that's definitely a tricky subject without a clear cut answer. My personal opinion though is that denying agency to a woman (i.e. her right to choose to ask someone out if she wants to) is just as bad, though. It's like sayi

I'll take the risk of being buried along with beenpoor, but I should point out that asking someone out once is not harassment. Harassment is asking them out repeatedly after being turned down (i.e. it is known to be unwelcome). Not mak

Dating within the tech industry is tough, especially when most of the people you meet are also in tech, but you also don't want to contribute to the problem of creating an environment where women feel like they're constantly being

It should be pointed out that Facebook employees probably don't have access to your actual unencrypted password.

In a way, it might be better to have all your stuff going through one provider you trust than through several providers of varying trustworthiness. I'm not making any assertions about Google's trustworthiness, but they have taken

They probably made a product with that slug by accident and are doing that to try to get it removed from search engine results.

Is the vertical movement actually part of the authentication, or is it just a fancy looking barcode?

I don't think it's very likely, but it might be possible a comet caused the theorized human population bottleneck around 70,000 years ago? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba_catastrophe_theory

Not only is this super amazing, it has probably the best sub-header I’ve ever read in a science article: “Grand theft Oort-o?”

Going a little further with the thought (and I am definitely not a physicist), what if that electron "loop" (or even the "single electron") is itself moving within the four-dimensional space. Could that explain the parti

That's because they've spun it as "Obama trying to control the Internet" or whatever. Most rank-and-file conservatives didn't even know what it was until the GOP Powers That Be decided to take up the crusade.

I'd argue North Korea isn't a secular government. The Kims are portrayed to their people as a lineage of gods under the divine authority of Kim Il-Sung, and their people are forced to literally worship them. Stalin's governme

I suspect it might possibly be the same. Public sentiment is pretty strong about it, and it would be easy for the Republicans to take the angle of "freedom for small businesses and the free market" or whatever.

This is kind of a red herring. 1) Surgery-over-IP would be designed within the limitations of the existing infrastructure, which is more than capable of handling high resolution real-time video. 2) Surgery-over-IP would be useful mostly in

The August lock replaces only the inside part of the lock (so your apartment manager can still get in), and it's pretty decent. It does take a little too long for Bluetooth to detect the lock, but hopefully the wi-fi module coming out

This is actually one of the insights that I think are pretty common with LSD. Your brain is made up of various subsystems (visual processing, time perception, language interpretation, language generation, motor control, etc.), but subjectiv

I actually tried LSD a couple of times because of this article, back when it was written. It was a pretty enjoyable experience, and I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested in trying it, with a few caveats. First, you need to have
