   The system, a portable brain-machine interface, translates brain activity into simple yes or no answers to questions with around 70 percent accuracy. Let's not forget that this means that (in the current version of the system) about

   I am a technical person but probably (a good deal) older than average here on HN, and to be honest, I cannot fully agree to the statement "[...] seems to value smart, clear, concise, rational arguments, and sees through the BS"

   But in those cases you would hardly expect a Stackoverflow question tagged with "pointers".

   As our society becomes more specialized it seems a bit absurd to have people make judgements mostly based on how well each side can make incredibly complex things comprehensible and convincing without any real understanding of the underlyi

   Is it possible to switch the button behavior? Certainly you can do it in the OS (mouse settings for left-handed folks), but I wonder if there is some kind of plug-in specifically for Blender?

    But Adobe does not officially support Linux any more so you won't get updates. I've had some success with running current Adobe Reader in wine but trying to print makes the program crash, so there you have it.

    Obvious privacy issues aside, Stallman has always come off - to me - as someone who doesn't really see the bigger picture. That depends heavily on the definition of "bigger picture". You seem to think practicality is most i

    "...or not." I've kinda developed a thing against headlines that seem to announce something great and wonderful, but in fact are purely speculative. One way to lure in readers.

    Somebody finding that quantum computers can solve NP-hard problems [efficiently] would be very suspicious. The missing word here is "efficiently": all problems in NP are solvable.

    I used DDG for a while as my default engine, but realized that I was using the Google redirects more and more until I finally switched back again. Google's search result were just better for me.

    I'm currently in Germany, too, but the small town I live in has only one Starbucks and plenty of traditional coffee shops. The one Subway that opened here had to shut down again because locals continued to go to the hole-in-the-wall pi

    Couldn't agree more to the "uncomfortable seats with little room for legs" part. I always envy people who aren't as tall as me and seem to be able to actually get some sleep in. That said, after having done Europe<-&g
