I think there might be an even bigger problem in coming up with any kind of response that we didn't already know. E.g. the advice "Don't smoke, stop eating before you're full, eat more vegetables, eat less bread and past

The question is, will all these data aggregated together actually give us any actionable data that we can and will act on? If there's one thing Google Analytics has taught me, it's that it's quite possible to have a lot of de

Well, arguably science is just the superior faith-based system. Nothing is ever proven, but it contains a method to constantly find the theory most likely to deserve your faith.

Ok, that makes sense. But does any of that have any bearing on eye strain? Because it sounds mainly like a color reproduction issue, which seems pretty orthogonal to the whole 'black text on white background vs white text on black back

Could you explain why having the screen react more to incident light would be better?

I think this shows how counting on horizontal scaling to handle inefficiency only works for a while, and will eventually introduce its own set of complexities - and dealing with those might be more trouble than coding things more efficientl

Could you explain what you consider to be the difference between emitted and reflected light? I'm asking because in the models of global illumination that also handle emissive materials that I've worked with, there's literall

Hey, there's no need to resort to name calling. You didn't address my main point, but instead just put up a strawman argument by equating the autonomy of not needing to work with the massive lack of autonomy that comes from being

I don't see what high horse you are talking about. The point is that having to work in order to survive is not inherently a desirable situation for a human to be in. A more desirable situation is to have your needs such as housing, foo

FWIW my takeaway is that underfunding a whole class of people, especially when it comes to education and healthcare, so they have a much harder time succeeding in the job market and tend to die or go bankrupt if they get sick, is a really b

I approach this the same way I approach concepts like karma and reincarnation. Are they literally true, physical forces, laws or similar acting on the world? No, of course not. Are they useful metaphors to try to model and discuss tendenci

I think you're being a bit harsh toward the article here. I think it's well supported that just like physical health (e.g. being overweight), maybe even more so, it's near impossible to help someone with mental health issues

Yeah, it's optimized for communication between trusted parties (e.g. Snowden and a journalist) - as such the focus is on verifying the identity of the other person, not hiding it. It'd be cool if they figured out a group chat sett

My best guess: Expand the clientele of Azure from 'corporations and C# shops' to 'everybody and their grandma' like AWS has done - basically going after the long tail of cloud hosting. And I think, apart from improving A

I agree, when we look at Microsoft's motivation, considering them driven by profit makes more sense than anything else. Hence why I'm critiquing comments that seem to think Microsoft is driven by some innate desire to destroy Linu
