   There is waterfox. I'm curious how quickly it will incorporate the new features.

   I'd be surprised if the rise sticks to a linear progression. The ice caps are caught in a feedback loop.

   Yes, universal access to the utility makes sense. But what would the utility be? Could FB possibly be nationalized? It's international at its core. If governments created a copycat, it could fragment social media by country, which s

   What do you think about the idea of classifying social media as a utility? I've heard a lot of people mention that lately...

   Are you saying that they should try punishing an innocent until guilt overwhelms the alleged offender? ... That doesn't seem very empathic. Seems like it would create an incentive for vigilantism too. Huh.

   “Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?” I guess you have down votes b

   I think the way you rephrase the murder reference illustrates pretty well how the expectations people have control their vocabulary. Expectations are transient and certainly not universal. Brandon's expectations about the way people pe

   Yeah, with web apps and webassembly really gaining traction, browsers should have a per-domain control of permissions.

    To add to this, I trust the sandbox of a browser much more than that of an app.

    I wouldn't say that is the only difference. The Austrian stipend seems flat, while our tax break seems like it wouldn't affect people who don't earn enough to be taxed. I'm also a bit curious about the difference in the

    Does anyone know the details of the UBI within the Cherokee reservation in North Carolina? I don't understand why y-combinator chose the particular methods in the article. I can see how the control groups are losing engagement. Not m

    Thank you for posting this. A clean, curated set of samples is a valuable thing.

    I'm curious how much of our 'soul' is a product of the relationship between the bacterial biomes in our bodies, rather than just our neurons by themselves. Even more, how do we know all neurons are equal? edit: not arguing ag

    Do you mind if I ask what state you're in? My high school made people write down colleges to send their ACT scores to, but I remember the confusion as some neither knew what to write nor were offered guidance afterwards.

    He hired Eric Holder, who seemed to have significantly changed during his time at Covington and Burlington. Holder wanted fines, not prison.

    If I recall correctly, that momentum was lost by the end of the Arthur Anderson case, which was immediately after Enron.

    I suggest reading Matt Taibbi's book The Divide, mentioned in the article, if you want a bit more context around Eric Holder and Lanny Breuer's involvement in this. He rests the 'original sin' at the feet of Eric Holder

    I think he was just nitpicking that GoodRX is available through more than a binary you have to install. I've used it through its website quite a bit. Its a wonderful service.

    Personal anecdote: Was rushed to the ER after a seizure. They did give me a craniotomy, but only after a misdiagnosis... Which made things worse. A dye-injected MRI wasn't an option, being uninsured.

    Mac is highly supported for pro audio, so you can hope. I'm certain that until pioneer, m-audio, etc. jump on board, they will lose consumers.

    Thanks for saying this. Every producer/Dj I know needs USB-A. It will be decades before that equipment is phased out.

    No, of course I wouldn't. I wasn't lamenting net neutrality, I was lamenting that I think he will be confirmed by means of those measured statements. The due process isn't upsetting, the fact the court will likely be regres

    And I mean let it continue, not so much escalate. With the moderation encouraging such thoughtfulness, I agree. There may eventually be a point where the frustrations of seeing political inanities triggers a chilling effect on ne
