Two people solving a maths problem draw upon a system of acquired knowledge that is uncorrelated with their gender, age, ethnicity and sexual orientation. If they get identical answers, they are graded identically. >You can attach number

If you were shooting a still subject, you could put a filter that excluded other wavelengths and capture the RGB channels separately on mono film and then marge them in post. I've been tempted to convert my digital sensor to mono-only

But realistically, when has Apple guaranteed anything about future products? Even if they released a newer version of the mini, you might hate it because they changed something you like.

That is a different context. As a consumer I don't care about OpenGL. Developers will support whatever newer APIs Apple comes out with depending on their sales numbers. Its a simple cost/benefit. As a consumer, from a long-term pe

I remember playing DVDs on 20-ish year old hardware. Even without a hardware decoder, I can't imagine how a modern CPU is unable to handle simple tasks like video decoding. Maybe its the higher bitrate..

I've found that the average hn reader vastly overstretches their expertise. Its unfair to expect programmers to be subject matter experts in anything other than their own domain. I take most comments here on politics/science/

>so what purpose does using the legal definition have? Because that is the commonly understood definition? Both in the legal and academic world (I can find citations from 1995 but I bet it was used before that). As lay people we do get c

Okay, I agree with some of your vague points, but I don't see anything I can reply to. Hopefully your misunderstanding has been clarified now? - "these reports misuse language and terminology."

They used a legal definition. It makes sense since gender harassment can be an antecedent to sexual harassment. https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/sexual_harassment.cfm

gamergate was not a thing till people decided to link two groups together. The second group is a group of assholes who like to harass women or really anyone on the internet they don't like. Nobody is going to defend them here, and ther

A business has to remain in business in order to keep their employees or hire new people. Jeopardizing the employment of existing employees to keep employees a business has determined that they do not have work for is not fair to them. Do y

The answer is simple: Your personal definition of how an altruistic business operates is not the agreed upon definition.

It seems like every commercial actor wants to be the platform (add "value" as an integrator/provider), and avoid being abstracted out under the platform. "Internet is just a dumb pipe" "Why dont all PCs ship

The opposing logic, taken to its conclusion, would mean that government should get all of your money. Yeah, now we're back where we started. Nobody is saying the government should be de-funded. This is a red-herring.

That would only escalate the war. People would start out as an open source hardware project with minimal commits/docs and turn "evil" the moment they got assigned a code. Then they would have to account for that. War escalate

Its probably that people think its unfair to single out Microsoft when other developers doing the exact same thing and worse. Sure MS is a juicier target and you get more publicity, and they do make it easy to poke fun at themselves. Titles
