Not really, it would be an argument that when Americans say "Death to Iran," it would be reasonable to take it at face-value. I don't really hear many people saying that, so maybe more accurately when politicians say (on Twit

I've been suffering from this one too so I'll share the most annoying part for me. I frequently have reasons to type out glob patterns generally in backticks. The interface for this is completely broken in the new WYSIWYG editor.

Banning things tends to lead to the market routing around the ban, via black / grey markets. In the case of ads is hard for there to be a true black market, because ultimately the ad needs to reach a users pupils. But I suspect if you

If you do a search in the repo you'll find that hunter2 remains a commonly used password.

I don't see my password on the list, but I want to make sure it stays that way. I wonder if they'd be willing to add a list of passwords never to be included on any list so as to keep their users safe.

I just got an email about this settlement telling me that I've been awarded a 10% off coupon for Zappos due to this ruling. So I actually have to give them more business to recoup anything... it's almost as if this settlement is g

That's exactly how they're going to bounce back from it, it's going to be easy for the game companies, and it's going to work great. Or, more likely, they won't have to bounce back from it at all. The people cancell

Based on this framework it doesn't seem entirely clear to me Taiwan is a de facto nation. Do they have the monopoly on violence over their land? From my understanding (which admittedly isn't great) they at best of a duopoly on vio

This is a philosophically interesting line of reasoning made no more interesting by applying it to football. The argument for replay review is simple if you look at its history: before replay review was introduced fans were often in the sit

Fair enough, and sorry if that came off as condescending. Everywhere I've lived (SF and Chicago) Taxis are completely unusable, I'd call dispatch to request one and maybe get one an hour later. The value of Uber/Lyft to me is

by jdoliner 7y ago
Have you ever used Uber? Did you ever use Taxis back when they existed? It's astonishing to me how much better Uber is than Taxis, there's no question that they're adding a ton of value compared to what they're replace,

It occurs as part of a fundraising process in which an investor invests money at a valuation that's double the previous one. As part of that there are forms filed that effectively say: "yeah just double it" but you don't

Do you think voting should be limited to citizens of the country? Or that each person should only get 1 vote? If so that seems impossible to implement without requiring identification, if not that seems tantamount to infringing on people&#x

I don't see any particular reason why the identification process for a corporation should be more stringent than a library card. What is astonishing to me is that both are meaningfully more stringent than voting. In Minnesota for examp
