This post is a good example of the kind of arrogance you find on this site- it's fittingly the top post as of right now. Yes, economics is not a "hard science" and that's OK. Neither are plenty of other respectable field

He is technically correct, idealistic, and uncompromising. Unfortunately that doesn't really work in the real world unless your name is Richard Stallman. It's not pragmatic. I ignore him.

If whales are hunted sustainably what is the big deal? I am genuinely asking why whales are off the menu but other mammals and fish are not.

How do you guys have time to get any work done with all this zealotry?

Too many free / non-free / Linux / OSS ideologues. Does this let users do more? Does this give users more options? This is a good, practical feature. I'm excited to, hopefully soon, fully ditch Linux on desktop for somet

I've had good luck with any Taiwanese goods that I've bought to the point that I trust Taiwanese goods as much my own American goods.

Yep. I wanted a good American made roasting rack so I went to Williams Sonoma. They're all made in China now.

If you search "Ookla speed test" or "speed test Ookla", then you get Ookla as the top result without seeing Google's panel. If you only search for "speed test", you get Google's panel followed by Ookl

It's fairly complicated because it is geopolitics and international law. Why? Because that's what the government's have worked out between each other. Usually between representatives who were put there through Democratic mean

The only reason those targets were engaged is because they were thought to be combatants. Do you think the gunner/pilot are happy about it? It's collateral damage in a warzone and horrible but it's not murder or a warcrime.

IBM Clearcase. Horribly underfunded IT departments. Hugely out of date tools and software design patterns. Tons of extra security constraints on employees for no extra compensation.

More like be consistent and have a routine. Really complex stuff, I know.

I think most night owls aren't as night-owly as they think- they just don't have a consistent and healthy routine. Very few actually have a diagnosed sleep disorder, just poor habits. I was able to program myself to be a morning p

I'm incredibly nervous as well. If a second telescope had to be built for whatever reason would it take as long and cost as much as the first? Or is all the cost and time due to R+D?

'At a hospital, he said, he saw people who had been shot dead, their shoulders shattered and heads smashed. He put his camera away out of a sense of respect. “Taking those photos is too disrespectful to them,” he said, referring to peo

What's your point?

Mars at its best is far less hospitable than the most inhospitable places on Earth. With that said- Earth is still only one planet and it would be wise for us to spread out for survival and resources.

Does Alec Baldwin ever try to pass as actual Donald Trump or is it obvious that it's parody? The Pelosi video was made with the malicious intent to deceive.

I don't see the problem. Android, the operating system, is open source. App developers make a choice to use Google Play services? Why do developers choose to do this? Does Google provide features people want?

That's exactly it. That on top of the bling factor. Nobody buys MacBooks, all I see are MacBook Pros. Because of this Apple had to start catering the to consumers who care more about thinness and bling rather than utility. The pro devi

I haven't seen anyone promote these products as healthy. I see it as more of a treat for people with ethical or environmental concerns with meat. I share these concerns so I try to cut back on meat and these products just give me more

Would you look at that! Looks like the proposed rail is going through your property! You have a week to get the fuck out before the dozers begin clearing. China is able to do this because they trample rights.

I'm not against FOSS, in fact I'm extremely pro FOSS. I'm against the idea that simply using FOSS is the goal. My goal is productivity and most of the time that deals with leveraging free software which is great. FOSS at any

I think the impractical goal of free software at any cost has hurt Linux. It's radical and it's a type of gatekeeping around here. There is always a post about Linux tech / adoption that deserves praise and some Stallman acol
