Recognizing the defense is different than combating it. Or perhaps I misunderstood - are you saying that the way to combat it is to point out that they have no coherent theory?

But... the article was posted because it's relevant to our politics right now.

At least as it concerns the EPA, this is wholly a problem in the US. In Europe, new chemicals need to be proven they are safe before they can be used. In the US, new chemicals need to be proven they are bad before they are removed . It&#

It was tough finding a solid answer, but everywhere I looked, it was distinctly not in the top 10 or 20.

Well they should cross Atlanta off their list then, Georgia is 31/50 for schools in the US. Toronto is looking better now! We even have free Catholic schools!

Love that saying. I use a different version, "The devil makes work for idle hands".

Boredom is a double-edged sword; it can lead to creativity, but it can also lead to drug and alcohol abuse. Small towns and counties are rife with substance abuse and everyone will tell you it's because "there's nothing bette

I'd argue that this is good for the economy. Economies are strong when money is changing hands a lot. If people hoard all their pennies, then money isn't changing hands, business isn't growing, and the economy stagnates.

This is a false dichotomy. Just because the regulations we imposed in the past made things burdensome, doesn't mean that regulations we impose in the future have to be burdensome. I'd want to understand why they're burdensome

He's lead windows for the last 21 years. He gave us Windows 2000, ME, Vista, 8, and 10. I am not surprised his time is up. Microsoft has lost the next generation of computer users to Android and iOS because of their regular release of

Java was literally dying before Google released Android. It was just something you did if you were in university or working on a legacy system. Everyone was moving to Ruby, JavaScript, and C#.

This isn't a comment about snap chat, moreso about how shitty the camera API is for Android. Yes, it is faster and more reliable to take a screenshot of the camera app.

Which is funny, because he runs the service that allows all of our mistakes of youth and naivety to be remembered forever. No - he made this bed, he can lie in it.

Definitely a tough question because of people's nostalgia for the older versions. Civ 4 is the best version of "classic civ", so if you want a modern take on 1, 2, or 3, go with Civ 4. Civ 5 was dramatically re-developed. Ins

Well, here's my take on this; A disease is only a disease if it causes you dis-ease. Some people howl and wail about a paper cut, others will continue through the day with a broken limb as if nothing happened. I am sure the same can be

Thankfully, Uber exists. Otherwise I'd have to download and register on all sorts of dinky city-specific apps any time I travel. Uber, for all of its faults, is the only one that works in every city I've traveled to.

Right, so I think we should make a distinction between "healthy choices" and "eating healthy food". I'll agree with you that McDonald's is providing healthy choices. But just because the choices are there, does

I got the details wrong, but my point was that nutritional information isn't always "truthful". Yes, they're true to the labeling requirement, but they are not true to reality - there IS sugar in there. Get a person with

TicTacs are advertised as having 0g of sugar. Do you want to know what TicTacs are made out of? Sugar. It's pure sugar formed into a small tablet shape. Yes, they are mandated to print nutrition information. So they print exactly what

None of the "health" benefits you listed have any objective benefit to health. How does listing a big mac meal at 1200 calories suddenly make it more healthy? Eating non-frozen beef does't magically reduce the risk of colorec

I have a theory that corporate food companies slowly remove anything of value in their food. In the next 100 years, McDonalds and KFC will be serving us nothing but fructose-infused sawdust with varying levels of oils and wax to hold it all

To your point - software is king. Any two-bit electronics company can ship a phone, but it's a useless paper weight if it doesn't run the right software. iPhone is generally behind the curve when it comes to hardware specs, but no

I forget what the term for this body type is, but basically; there is a type of person who's body turns food into calories extremely well. This is beneficial to the brain, as it is a huge consumer of calories. The downside to this body

Thank you for sharing! I probably have the same thing split over a few hard drives, it was a bit hypocritical of me to criticize, I apologize.

I'm curious to know your use case for backing up that much data. I have this idea in my head that some people are digital pack rats and want to save every movie and series they pirate off the internet in case the apocalypse happens and

This sucks. Poor people have trouble paying electricity bills. In come the bitcoin miners, who drive up the cost of electricity, causing the poor to fall behind on bills and potentially become homeless. All so they can drive a fancy Land Ro

No, the reason we got rid of it was that it was impractical for like 90% of software. Skeuomorphism works for calendars and notepads, that's it. That's why those are always the examples you see for them. There's no such thing

Oh, interesting! Thanks for sharing. But there still is a little bit of server load, whereas front-end has 0. Honestly, unless you're serving billions of pageviews on a very tight budget, I'm not really sure how much of a saving
