Of course not. If I see a defamatory article on the front page of a newspaper and I call over a bunch of friends standing nearby and say "Hey guys, check out this article!", or even "...check out this great article!" (

So does this mean we might finally get officially supported iOS development on Windows and/or Linux soon?

By and large, the rules I learned in various English and grammar classes, beyond the initial sentence structure, were prohibitive rather than permissive; there's no rule explicitly _allowing_ arbitrary nesting, because why would need a

At least medically speaking, yes, the term "defecation" is used exclusively to refer to "number two": > Defecation is the final act of digestion, by which organisms eliminate solid, semisolid, and/or liquid waste

I love the concept of building more hands-on toys to teach STEM concepts without requiring use of a screen, especially when dealing with kids. If nothing else, screens are expensive; blocks of wood, less so. I'd really like to see wher

Something that bugs me whenever I see it: > these protesters were perfectly happy to use this student to further their own agenda, but turned on her as soon as they realized she wasn’t supporting their narrative. Put another way: "t

Unionizing doesn't seem like it would work very well in an industry of which a significant portion is entrepreneurs with small 3-man shops and the like. Or were you thinking of just the big chain shops or those attached to large dealer

"not 'individual-level'" sounds to me like anonymous statistical information that is not personally identifiable; is that called out anywhere in their privacy policy?

I've read it in context, thoroughly, and it doesn't help. And really, in what context could this become okay? As for the claim that the Bible has "always been counter-cultural in promoting the equality of men and women",

I don't know, man. Consider 1 Corinthians 14:34-35: Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their o

I mean, not according to the law... my understanding is that in most jurisdictions ignorant != impervious. Perhaps burden of proof for a discussion is on the claimant, but it might behoove a user to check their local laws

OP + a voice recognition wrapper probably wouldn't be too hard, depending on what's available for voice recognition libs in Python; I haven't actually looked. Anyone know?

It's not incorrect, but it is misleading. It's not so much that Catholics have a different Old Testament; it's more like they have extra Old Testament. Similarly, if you have a copy of the first edition of a book and I bu

Important difference though: the point of "we shouldn't be surprised by this" isn't just "why is this here, it's uninteresting"; it's about redirecting the conversation toward the important underlying

I think you're misunderstanding the point of the guideline. In set theoretic terms, "good hackers" are a subset of "anyone". Thus, something that's interesting to anyone is by definition interesting to good hac

My understanding is that current liquid water has yet to be found, and this is the best evidence of it we've ever had. Am I on the right track?

Reminds me of the UK/US game "Sorry!"[1], based on Pachisi; It's not strictly a cross-and-circle game, since it's square and the four spokes don't meet in a cross, but it follows in the same spirit. [1] http

A thought I had while reading: Neal (the author) reports that Barrat found "on purpose" to be used "to the near exclusion of by accident " by "speakers born after 1995". However, Neal then goes on to ask:

That's a problematic criterion when trying to classify long extinct species. We can hypothesize, and perhaps there is a point where we can confidently say "These two definitely couldn't mate" (e.g. Australopithecus afare
