I love the explanation as to what 'really' happened. >If Iraqi authorities had destroyed their WMD stocks and abandoned their programs, they might refuse to fully acknowledge this to the UN to maintain Iraq’s regional status, d

Well, when someone says you are being disruptive and not productive to the discussion, and your retort is, "I'm just asking questions". Then you have stepped over a line.

When its an excuse for bad behavior. If someone is being told, "You are being disruptive to this forum" and the response is, "I'm just asking questions". Then you know its a red flag.

"Just asking questions" is the biggest red flag of ill intent, its not doubt I would ban someone for resorting to that. Especially if we look at the facts given in the comment. " saying at the time we didn't yet know how

I always felt there would be 'carpool'/express lanes that would just be for automatic driving cars. They would communicate with each other and so they could pack together really tightly. You'd enter your destination, the

If I believe 99% of all NFTs sold were get-rich-quick scams, and because of that I've never have bought an NFT, how am I being duped? What am I missing by not being involved in it? Or more accurately, what did I miss out on? Seems lik

I have a GMC-320S, its ok, I had to cut away some of the plastic so it could read a uranium source I bought. The plastic housing would shield the tube from most of the radiation of the source. There are little slits that would let some in,

What I love about the Satriani/Coldplay lawsuit was there was a third band, Creaky Boards, who first accused Coldplay of stealing their song a year before Satriani. You can still see posts on r/music as of less than a year ago tal

These could have been 4x5 polaroids, they had pretty good quality, as good if not better than any 35mm or medium format print. As proof point, there was a type (50) where you could get a negative as well as a print. I don't recall bein

What I've found is that any large refactoring project that works against Conway's law will fail, until the plan adjusts to the org structure. This can be very explicit, in that one group will refuse to support it, or latent, in wh

I think one of the best cases against crypto, is just how much the volatility in Crypto is a feature not a bug. Crypto is how people will make it rich, and rising 7% in a year doesn't enable that. Imagine a world where crypto routinely

Not a perk, if you look at personal info of anyone in your social circle, you are fired, no matter who you are, for what ever reason. If you need to fix a bug, and you need to look at personal info, it is logged and reviewed, go snooping, y

The point is only valid when you are going to make a case for "crypto" on Bitcoin's finite supply.

If bitcoin was the only crypto, maybe, but there is an infinite number of possible crypto coins.

I think you state the point perfectly. Desalination presumes that the "need" is for drinking water. 80% of the water that humans use in California is for agriculture, only 20% is urban use.

Eric Raymond (ESR) was a director of VA Linux. I remember seeing on Yahoo Finance in '00, but haven't been able to find again, that on Dec 30th or 31st, 1999 he exercised options for a 'gain' of around $2 million. He was

Do you need the truth though? In some ways the mere question on the origin of the virus is a political one. No one in the public has ever cared to have definitive proof where any virus came from before. The ability to point to a specific ti

Completely agree, before Twitter opened up in SF, SF had a homelessness problem and a petty crime problem. That didn't stop an influx of tech moving into SF, except now professional workers were now shocked to find that the homelessnes

Being marginally employed at a restaurant, supporting a drug habit, can get you an apartment in many locales. Being gainfully employed at multiple restaurants means you still can't afford housing within a 70mi radius of SF.

Half the US wants to attach drug-testing and proof of job seeking to food stamps. The true solve for homelessness is unconditional money/housing. As long as the possibility that 5% of participants will take advantage of the program, th
