What was the point of this comment? You listen using a service that abuses its users and you want everyone to know it, sure, but...there's literally no substance to the comment. It's pure fluff. You didn't even explain why

Knowledge generally isn't something you brute force. If your solutions are bad, read a book on Lisp (that wasn't intended to be a pun, even if On Lisp was a good book and would fit the bill). If you're not planning on leavi

If he's representing his affiliations honestly, why wouldn't it be? Faking video is harder than lying about who you are on the internet. To point back to that comment, Chinese living in China have just as much a right to have opin

I wonder what you consider valid opinions then. You're redirecting the conversation. Is this intentional? I didn't claim any which way as to the "validity" of opinion: I agreed with Saagar, saying that the fact of

That's not the point. He's saying that there's no possible way to decisively figure out who does and doesn't live in Hong Kong on Quora; there are a lot of nations interested in influencing what's going on there rig

I don't think polarized is necessarily the right word for it, it just seems like American politics has jeered strongly to the right, dragging the people who dislike it into liberalism to seem reasonable.

Your first sentence makes no sense, given in the comment right above you (which is quoting the article) it points out that it was with a cookie-less browser and a VPN. You're far more likely to be the one who's bubbled in differ

None of this is novel information, and "it's literally just a wiki!" isn't in any way actually true and is incredibly reductive. Along with everything else, you're not even including images.

I'm not pro-Wikimedia here (see other comment), but you're not being fair exactly; I'd go as far as to say your comment is wrong in everything except that the banner is obtrusive and that your funds would be better directed

Was it just a gaffe when Federighi mentioned you couldn't install alternative operating systems in his recent Daring Fireball interview, then? I admit I could have misunderstood him, but it seemed like that was what he was saying.
