I would not consider that "evidence that deplatforming works", in the context of the parent comment.

Since the FBI got a warrant and were responding to allegations of a sexual assault, I can respect the argument for doing this in these circumstances. Though I don't like that the difference in the way the law treats passcodes vs biomet

There are many answers to this question. Sometimes you can be certain of what you synthesized based on observations about the reaction process, including heat absorbed or emitted. Sometimes you can put the compound in a solution with other

While research in these two fields certainly can overlap and influence each other, in the end they are still different fields with different goals: - Synthesizing compounds - Creating sensors to detect compounds The goals in one field might

For what its worth, when I read the parent comment, I did not at all get the impression that it was "spreading the myth that Haskell is an academic language."

Do you mean "why" as in the science mentioned above, or some other clarification or the nature of the harm? What would you have it say? I ask because it seems to me that the simplest possible warnings are the most effective for th

As long as customers are OK with ads, I agree there won't be massive pressure to develop alternatives. But if other factors were changed, the necessary level of "I hate ad platforms" pressure might be reduced. I can imagine

I had hoped that one day we would have a well-maintained open source implementation maintained by a consortium including Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung, and others. Doesn't seem likely anymore.

I simply took it as one specific use of the word "asset". They weren't necessarily using asset in the more general sense.

I thought you were making a joke which I didn't understand, having discounted the possibility that you meant parents of adult children or parents whose children had died.

I don't think this is a troll. A lot of young people honestly don't understand many of the realities of aging.

When giving an actor a script that deviates from the proper script, you can choose to only allow deviations in the portions of the script that don't directly involve that actor.

I agree that the fact "legs attached to midsection" is irrelevant to most, but the implications that follow rely on principles of mechanics and biology for which I would still hope most people would have at least a basic intuitive

Yes, it took me a moment to identify the omission because the chain itself occupies nearly the same space

I speculate that the author created an expectation of a "quick, simple, sketch". Even an artist might prefer that plane, if they are expected to draw quickly.

Is this really a common misunderstanding? I thought everybody knew that ants have three body sections, and the legs attached to the middle. We learned this in elementary school. Putting legs on the head or the back section would create so m

I was wondering the same thing. It would be nice if he also asked for people's experience with riding bikes, and compared all three factors (gender, experience, chain attachment). I'm wondering if there is a relationship between e

I skimmed the article and didn't see this information: I'd like to know how this breaks down by region of the country, by urban vs rural, and by age of the patrons.

She makes a good point, here: "We do not think about the statistical probabilities or compare the likelihood of such events with far more present dangers, like increasing rates of childhood diabetes or depression. Statistically speakin

Generally speaking, there is nothing 'measured' about the way the democratic process is influenced by widespread irrationality and emotionalism. I see no reason to believe that these laws are a result of a measured response. I see

All I have are anecdotes, and I can't speak to the frequency of law enforcement getting involved, but regarding the general perception of what is 'appropriate parenting' there is a culture of micromanagement, paranoia, and sh

I speculate there may one day be a place for a high-flying, well defended drone pilot carrier, whose purpose is to get the pilots close enough to the drones to have guaranteed instantaneous remote control - not even a satellite delay. There
