The fact that the EVE tokens even can be destroyed is always a source of amusement. Just google "eve killmail plex" and you'll find quite a few examples of players getting blown up while carrying thousands of dollars worth

The issue is that someone may happen across a cloned repo and have no idea it isn't the only, or original, one. So how would they look at recent updates and compare differences between the repos if they only know of the one?

I like this idea as another possible interpretation of that data point. Essentially you're saying that it's because everyone's clicking the more conservative links which causes the skew, albeit for different reasons. The only

(Disclaimer: I didn't read the paper. I'm not sure if someone knows a link is cross-cutting before clicking it.) So if I'm reading that correctly, liberals are more likely to click on a cross-cutting article. That alone doe

What "right to access culture"? Last I checked there was no such thing. At least not remotely in the way you seem to mean it. Even if there was, it certainly wouldn't define culture solely as "Hollywood movies and pop mu

That looks like it was a mess. :( For the lazy, the introduction of the complaint (at the bottom of the page): (Jan. 2014) "This is a civil action for damages brought by plaintiff Michael G. Schwern against his exwife, defendant Nóirín

"Data-driven" as in "we looked at some data and made a decision." Whether that was good data or bad data, lots of data or just a couple points, is out of scope. :p

I would half-disagree. There are some high level parallels like you mentioned, but the Ted mail is attacking the statistic by it's definitions, whereas this article attacks the statistic directly because it has no basis in reality and

I don't think this is an appropriate parallel... apples and oranges as it were. Admittedly, I only skimmed both articles, but this article appears to be about misinformation regarding recidivism rates affecting the judgment of legislat

They probably assumed that the cost of fixing the issue and actually pushing that fix to every unit in the field would outweigh the cost of not fixing it.

Presumably you can always just give important people your "real" number like you already do.

Yeah, it kind of makes the entire thing 90% less interesting. Of course I assumed this was the case before reading it; I'm pretty sure legitimate psychic powers being discovered would warrant more than a HN article.

There's immediately a pop-up in a lightbox that you can't click out of besides clicking the little "x"... no thanks. Intrusive ads suck .

It's obviously anecdotal and not a rigourous breakdown. I have no experience with React but what little experience I have with Angular makes me think I would come to the same biased conclusion... Angular was just a massive pain to work

All I'm saying is that a luxury watch doesn't bring anything fundamentally new to the table. There's no reason anyone would look at the Rolex on your wrist and be jealous of anything other than the status it implies. It'

I'm familiar with the tracking image "trick" but I assumed most email clients wouldn't load those by default. The other comments seem to indicate I was wrong. :(

Is there any reliable way to do this? Most mail clients will block receipt-type stuff by default...

I won't pretend to understand the exact business model, but it sounds like this is an entirely different can of worms. Unless there is a lot more clarification, I don't see why this is an issue, though. The few people I know who h

Isn't that apples to oranges? I would think it goes like this: I want to have pictures taken of me during a performance. But I cannot take pictures of myself while performing. So I pay a photographer to take those pictures for me. They
