Nice, I literally read "philosophy" as "ideology" as well: "however I am [ideologically] opposed to the existence of their review process." (I wouldn't take ideology in necessarily a negative way)

One of the things I really like about Ubuntu is that I can download and install the right version of a wide variety of program for my machine very easily. And it lets me keep up to date without thinking about it. A lot of programs don't u

Alliances can easily decrease the risk of small scale war, but this is at the cost of systematic risk (alliance vs alliance war or world wars). Perhaps we've only managed to decrease the risk of medium-sized wars at the cost of increased r

The assumption here is that peace between nations can somehow be resolved by just communication among private citizens and individual friendships; that conflicts are just misunderstandings or that we are too prejudiced or don't have enough

I don't doubt the dispute about whether it should be a part of India or China is real. But currently it is a part of India. Maybe China has legitimate claims. Maybe it doesn't. That's what I took your "should" to mean. What's differen

No one disputes that Arunachal Pradesh is currently a part of India, just whether or not parts of it should be.

Yup, repeat games are a different situation that may lead to different outcomes. If you can enforce the agreement, it's a different kind of game. But then consider situations where information is unreliable: - Cheating because you can't tr

How about they start with telling you that it's turned on? I don't see anything in the web interface that tells me that others can also see my live typing.

"Anti-Asian quotas aren't anti-Asian." They are going to be in a lot of trouble if they are using upper-limit quotas outright. Quotas, then intangibles and geographic diversity were once used to limit the number of Jews at top universities

True and nicely put. But, I would say the "surprise" here is not that it's harder for Asian Americans to get in relative to African Americans. You'd think that if you are guaranteeing or biasing towards a certain number of select groups,

I haven't, though I haven't had the need for one either. But if they exist and they're decent, you don't think I would find them if I researched for a git host? I don't argue with you that freemium works in the short and probably medium te

Isn't that exactly the danger of running on a freemium business model? Everything goes according to plan, you establish a new market, lots of free customers get introduced to your product and love it and you skim off the cream that want pow

I don't think you could argue that. Finance encompasses a lot more than questionable trading practices. I said finance, and not say banking, since I meant any kind of banking and investing. And there is an equivalence between debt (loans

"I'm pretty sure this is a comprehensive list. Can anyone think of anything I've left out?" Seems like an overly confident statement that has low probability of being correct. Is this purposely to provoke people into trying to prove you wr

Why is Google telling people to run a headless browser just for their crawler? Sounds way too complicated for any small-scale website. Why doesn't Google run the headless browser themselves? It sounds like they are offloading parsing cos

Are you sure it's XOR? Anything wrong with doing it through an iframe? You use javascript to control which is displayed and for responsiveness (your cycling), but each testimonial also has its own page.

But if that's the case, isn't that likely because they have internal applications that are IE only? It seems more like a marketing thing--Overcome people's inhibitions by letting them feel like they "only" installed a plugin and are still

Three other people were injured that day from jumping, and the ambulance that was called wasn't even called for the heroine of our story. I don't know what the denominator is, but it doesn't sound good. I do agree though, that jumping or n
