Sorry in advance for taking the headline and talking about something else. What I want is a real personal computer that can fit in my pocket. A mobile device that is extremely open and very easy to hack on. I would like it to expose sensory

I wonder what the maintenance costs would be to keep a digital document storage system running robustly and effectively for 800 years (as long as the Magna Carta document lasted)? (Not trying to imply that vellum should be the only storage

I am way less sure of how to do that and can only hazard a guess. Do not show me controversial accounts, tweets or tags not 'generally liked by the people one degree of separation away from me'? I'd experiment to see if that

That's not true. It is never acceptable to threaten someone or be violent. To be explicit again: the reason I say monetisation of suffering is bad is because monetisation of suffering causes more suffering . You think you're be

A problem I've noticed is that offensive content seems to float to the top. Outside of Twitter I rarely see the kind of hatred I'm about to refer to. For example, the other day Trump RT'd a tweet by an account with a name lik

I don't know what you're talking about as I've never engaged in violent or horrific behaviour or sent death threats. Bigotry and hatred are disgusting. Not once did I say they were acceptable. I think deep down you know you&#

The "professionally offended" are actually a much smaller subset of the group of marginalised people - probably 0.1% at most, and many of them holding a lot of privilege. The "professionally offended" are by definition t

The issue with the websites already in use by agents is that the property is almost always out-of-date. Agents are not incentivised towards keeping listings fresh. It's better for them if they can tell the person that gets in contact t

They're not being forced into responding. But it was unsettling to hear an anonymous source say they were avoiding interviews on racial grounds. That sounds illegal if it's true - and even if it's not true, surely it's s

If they take 29 days to respond to this, I wonder how long they might take to respond to the fairly shocking allegations within the recent Business Insider article [0]? In fact I wonder if this response was ever going to happen on its own?

The problem with hypermodularization is that it takes time to make a decision on what module to use for every task. If you have to to do this with 100s of modules, you're wasting a lot of valuable time. Does anybody know a quick way of

Often the quickest replacement for an `unwrap` is an `unwrap_or` with a sensible default. Other times where error-handling is important use a `match` there and then. And don't nest the arms of the match instead use the return of the ma

You can express complex thought in short equations (and in fact it is often preferable), so why would it be the case that it couldn't be expressed in just 140 characters? It doesn't make sense.

Perhaps their ability to censor silently proves they're better run? I would have nothing to have an opinion of. In fact I'm against the thing and not merely its signal but I can see that some censors are 'fitter'.
