This article was interesting, but it didn't present any particularly novel points of view. Yes, I know publishers provide services for authors, but it seemed as if the author repeated the same points over and over and completely glossed ov

I understand your point, but despite the fact that the Y chromosome does not carry that much genetic information, it is highly susceptible to genetic drift. A smaller male population passing on its genes would cause a higher amount of gene

Full-sized, yes, but you'll probably lose a significant amount of diversity. Half of the Y-chromosomes in the population will be eliminated. I would imagine this would cut down the genetic variation significantly.

Let me let you in on a little secret: karma doesn't matter. Most people won't look at the number next to your post. In fact, some might read your post solely because it has a low rating. It's hardly tyranny of the majority when your op

It depends on what sort of image the company wants to uphold. Do they want to be the company that goes out of their way to protect the rights of their customers with some less than perfect products, or do they want to be the company with p

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I get annoyed and look more skeptically at a person's point of view when they call it *gate. They're admitting their bias right in the title.

PAX is Penny Arcade Expo, a gamer festival. Lots of companies show off their games there. For at least the last few years they haven't allowed companies to have booth babes, who are generally just there to look pretty and draw crowds, as

You can generally get them by saying, okay, predominantly red and blue, and is more light than dark. Some color distributions are very difficult though. I can generally get 4 out of every 5 in the 48 difficulty.

Calacanis responds in the comments: "1. No one has ever asked for an export key, but we have one being built. Will be ready shortly. 2. We will have a delete account page by the end of next week. NIce job with the gotcha journalism! :-)"

No word has 100% language penetration, and if the NYT desires to simplify down their writing to the point at which almost everyone can read it, they're going to have to ban words like colloquialism and paleolithic as well. If people don't u

Is nonsexual nudity really something we need to "protect" children from? All those shows is that people have genitalia.

I'm not aware of any reason to have the animal alive while you're breaking off its limbs. It just seems like the behavior of a sociopath to me.

People ripped the legs off of live crabs? That's sick whether or not they can feel pain.

"If Facebook really wants to get profitable it needs to get smaller by kicking-off users who don’t make it money. Then it has to be be really nice to the ones they keep." As far as I can see, this contradicts most of what he was talking abo

Facebook can decide what they do and do not allow to be posted on their website. You can post whatever you want on Facebook, but they have every right to take it down. I can certainly see why they pulled this page.

You can be sorry because you believe their viewpoint is inferior or destructive. Sorry doesn't necessarily mean that you are apologizing; it simply means that something is causing you sorrow, and I can certainly see how it could cause someo

Max Payne 2 just updated on Steam. I'll give you guys two guesses at what happened to the executable.

Just in case anyone is wondering, you need a "preponderance of evidence" in order to win a civil suit.

I'm not surprised. It's the route that all games seem to take when they go open source - Quake 1-3, Duke Nukem 3D, and Freespace 2 have all taken this route. It's a way to prevent your game from becoming outdated without losing any abilit

You're the only one who has that experience. I didn't authorize anything and I have 5 extra apps in my profile.

Yeah, they could see apps you authorized before. Not sites that add themselves, essentially showing your web browsing habits to all your friends.

This point of view always bothers me because it's not really true. Yes, one of the primary duties board members have is to increase the wealth of the shareholders, but it does not equate to purely performing greedy moves. Look at the ca

Seeing analogpixels.com being one of the top 10 donors made me wonder: How many people would donate more if the current top 10 paying people got a link to their website/product for the duration of the sale?

How? I can imagine less effective scenarios. 1) Not changing your life at all. 2) Not touching your Facebook page again. 3) Dressing up in a chicken suit and dancing around a major intersection. etc. If you delete your Facebook page, it's o

World of Goo did the same thing a while back. They made an incredible amount of money and reached a large amount of people. Yes, many people paid 1 cent, but they still made more than they would have otherwise. Read the attached article,
