It seems that all the recent cases by the DoJ have been motivated more by a desire to poltically pander than solid legal precedent.

大哥大 dates back to at least the Sino-Japanese war. It's northern slang equivalent in meaning and connotation to "da boss" (eg. the term is mostly used sarcastically). I've never heard anybody use it as a term for cellphon

The article is about the education of engineers in the country of India. The vast majority of Indians working in engineering in the US were born and raised in the US, or at the very least educated here. Ethnically Indian people in the US ar

Did they look at societies where last names are passed on matrilineally but social status/family continuity isn't? You would get the same results if the ability to gain wealth were truly a matter of genetics, but not if it were si

Man that ending was very brunt. I did not expect to just see "he died a few months later" as a footnote at the end.

I don't even use Firefox. You know what's really irrational? Trying to find ulterior motive in an argument instead of addressing its substance.

Personally I find double click highlighting to be a useless feature in any language, but the Firefox approach is superior imo. Breaking at script boundaries is predictable behavior the user can anticipate whereas doing some janky ad hoc nat

If the Japanese language needs to change, it won't be because some Western developer found it too hard to develop some obscure unused highlighting feature for it. The HN crowd's fetishistic need to change everything for the sake d

Double-click highlighting barely makes any sense in English, let alone in a language that doesn't use spaces. The fact that mobile browsers treat long presses as a double press for urls has been the bane of my existence. I doubt any na

IIRC anyone looking at the unemployment rate has to look at some factors that could inflate or deflate the rate. The unemployment rate is a proportion of those seeking employment that do not have a job. This means that as time goes on, pe

The fact that a random unbacked claim in the form of a quote is the top reply proves my point. The best argument the humanities mode of thinking can come up with is an appeal to authority.

Your comment prompted me google George Foreman and I'm surprised to find that he was actually a celebrity (boxer) and not the founder of the company as I assumed.

> The average scientist’s acquaintance with philosophy tends to be of the passing variety. This is a great pity. This is not a "deep pity" but proof that modern society has progressed beyond the sophistry of the humanities.

I mean it could just be that us non-furries aren't attuned to the subtle differences and conventions of fursonas.

Funny you mention Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf considering it's been proven in hindsight that Iraq didn't have WMDs, in addition to the devastation that the invasion did to his country. ISIS wouldn't exist if your lot believed in

This isn't about PATH resolution, this is about pretending to have a program installed when it isn't. As other comments have pointed out, this "actual solution" also fucks up any Python script you try to run because nobo
