A piece of social networking software that gets popular does bring a certain audience/reach to its creator. So "The software is good but I don't want the views of its creator to reach a broader audience" is a valid stanc

Feeling an emotion across the body (chest, temples, mouth of the stomach, etc) is a very common thing for an awful lot of people. So common that you can find it in literature since antiquity, across cultures, as something that does barely r

Uh, care to elaborate? I thought Garmin specialized in GPS and similar "passive" satellite-based tech, not actual comms? Edit: nvm, just googled and found out about the Inreach thing.

I am pretty sure IMAP can be configured to delete mail from server after sync, and anyway Google has all the time in the world to scan your emails before you delete them.

Similar systems exist also in France (Paylib) and Sweden (Swish). Swish is embarassignly popular and also accepted in many shops. Making them compatible EU-wide seems like the logical next step.

It's related to how reading and the human eye work. For each eye fixation, you take in about 5-10 characters. The optimal line length for books is about 60-75 characters, which takes somewhere between 6-15 fixation to scan. Code is n

"Trust the science" is an oxymoron. Please do substantiate why grandparent's claim is false. There is a massive literature on the shortcomings and, yes, even potential for malice, of current peer-review practices. https:&#x2

I feel like F# addresses quite a few items on the "dislike" list: * It has // for single-line comments * You can use newlines as a list separator, as in: let some_list = [ 1 2 3 ] * Similar

But the cool part is that the YC is not actually a primitive . Primitives in lambda calculus are essentially just variables, function definition, and application. At a first glance, you wouldn't tell that you could express infinite co

Yes! I noticed the same thing this very morning. Absolutely appalling that they managed to botch the timeline so bad. How could anyone in their right mind believe that I may ever want to see things that random strangers post on those pages?

Well, as others have pointed out, at his scale this is likely a necessary rate-limiting countermeasure. Even relatively obscure academics easily end raking up hundreds of emails in their inboxes once they are senior enough. With someone as

I think anime is more popular in the teen demographics, as it is seen as the "cooler"/"edgier" stuff compared to US animation. I am not familiar with the most recent stuff, but for instance Naruto and One Piece are
