It does not indicate a bad actor. It is bad actor. Attribution is not a "wish" of the original creator that you should feel morally obliged to follow. It is a legal prerequisite of you being allowed to make a fork of it for fr

I have a spot on my chest that when I pinch it I get convincing feeling of being pinched on my leg. Which just tells me our abstract, layman understanding of how sensory communication works may be far from truth.

Analogies, analogies... "Aviate, navigate, communicate" is meant as a simple guide for pilots in distress. Distress on a plane can be extremely busy and demanding time and it may not be possible to think rationally - the situation

Do you take a possibility you can be both right and wrong? The feat might not be as difficult as author seems it is. I personally can think of many ways to achieve it. Come to think of it, it may actually be even easier

Don't get your hopes too high if you think this can be used to scrub significant amount of CO2 from atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, producing fuel from atmospheric CO2 is still wonderful news. But you know what they produce? Metha

That is interesting. So... basically we are waiting until they get their fact checking wrong against a wrong person? This must happen eventually. But you could argue that so many public persons openly lie and even declare that "they ca

I think your conclusions are wrong even if I agree that bitcoin is overall bad for humanity. Just because one crypto currency is like that doesn't mean there cannot be another decentralized crypto currency that is better. Just because

For me the most fascinating thing about this is vast distances through Pacific covered with the cables. One would assume it would be easier to cover the distance around Pacific and not directly through the middle of it, but it seems those m

I just can't understand how people put up with not being able to control what they primary machines are doing. For that reason my primary work machine can currently only be Linux. I have Windows, but this one is only for stuff that is

You are confusing shareholders (people who own the company) and executives (people who are running it). Mark is both, but his problem wasn't due to his share of the company but rather due to his actions or inaction as an executive. Law

Nothing strange there. There is already a lot of mandates like that. If you look at your house, almost every single piece of cable, pipe or joint, and so on is standardized so that you can connect stuff from different manufacturers and it w

Delphi was my first real programming environment circa 1998. At least at the time it allowed me to build professionally looking applications with practically nil experience and with little effort.

Hi dang. I have nothing against Chinese people. On the other hand what I described is day to day reality doing business in China and is easily backed by facts. You may not like, you may not be aware of it, it but it is truth. See accounts o

I wonder if the problem is as big as they are painting it. There is no atmosphere and very little gravity. The exhaust gasses expand out in a hurry and any particles should not be spending time in any kind of vortices -- should travel outwa

So... this would be like saying "We have a murderer, we have ample evidence for it on tape and multiple witnesses. But there is also this one person that lied about being witness so then it must mean that the suspect is innocent."

No, it is not and has not been surprising for decades. In China there are no private companies. There are only companies that Chinese government lets you run as long as you cooperate with the government.

I would also add that being rude and not agreeing with somebody's statements are separate things. For some reason people conflate the two and then it is difficult to have a civil discussion on the Internet. Don't agree with somebo
