I think this is a bit disingenuous. I have definitely seen many articles on the web playing "oppression olympics" pitting supposedly privileged and oppressed groups against one another in literally every possible category , but t

Or rather it didn't predict that in 1999 there would be more provisions for people with learning difficulties and special needs? Don't be so knee-jerk, there's a damned good reason for why we try not to harm kids' self-e

It's very interesting to note how futurists always nail the technological changes but ignore or otherwise turn a blind eye to sweeping societal upheavals that are far more difficult to predict. The archetypal patriarchal, white nuclear

Unless they make their schematics and blueprints open-source, this isn't worth my time. Space needs to be fundamentally open, driven by visionaries like Musk and Bolden who care far more about the future of humanity than selling produc

Basically, conglomerates are very confusing.

I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but if you really, honestly want a no-frills, easy to set up UNIX for your personal computer, there really is no better machine than a Macintosh.

My best guess is that the pronunciation is identical to 'papyrus,' though with an 'o' in place of the 'u' -- so something like pah-pyhr-ohs or pah-pyhr-oh-ess.

The inane listicles are just money drivers for BuzzFeed News, which is where much of the real journalism takes place. The site was founded in the late 00s as a simple lifestyle website in the vein of the AOL homepage but over time it's

This is a red herring -- the OP's post didn't say anything that was overly or gratuitously negative, at least not compared to many of the other comments on this thread. It's very true that saying that users are 'cheating

Unequivocally pretentious, bloated, and comically self-aggrandizing. Much like the watch and its makers themselves.

It's a ballsy and maybe foolishly ambitious motto, but in Gitlab's case they actually deliver on it -- which, considering the current monopolization of project hosting is quite a feat unto itself.

Indeed, it is a gorgeous story. We use the excuse of biological dissimilarities to get around the fact that most archetypes we've constructed have been artificially constructed -- gender, relationships, and socialization all revolve ar

The smoke plume is characteristic of SRBs, which have a very good thrust-to-mass ration but relatively low specific impulses. If you've ever seen a Shuttle launch, the long and smoky plume and the rocket "leaping off the pad"

What you're describing seems to me like blasé, and it's a fairly well-documented phenomenon.

Unmanned launches, yes. Manned spaceflight, and astronauts themselves, have to adhere to extremely strict standards to maintain safety. Those standards cost $$$, time, and require highly educated and resourceful people. The economies just

It's fairly obvious that this feature was stolen from the BlackBerry Passport's touch-sensitive physical keyboard. It irks me when an original and "groundbreaking" (supposedly) idea is presented by an unpopular company a

There are many prisons where inmates are encouraged to study business. This is a good, positive thing and if anything, it reflects the permeation of computer science down to even the most fundamental infrastructures of society. We still hav

"nicer case" is subjective, although I will agree that official Apple models do have far better support and far better resale value. That said, I don't think the average Hackintosher really cares about those things -- there&#

The quality of writing has definitely dipped since Anand's departure. Though this review does contain a lot of information, it seems like it was written in a very sophomoric way.

CoreOS was hatched in a garage. But I don't see them getting Apple-level anytime soon.

Akzidenz-Grotesk is an interesting font choice. Its kerning makes it less readable than Helvetica but its glyphs are beautifully designed and very distinctive. It's an iconic font, but at the end of the day I think Helvetica surpasses

I think that it's too premature to judge whether this effort is more justified technically and subjectively than Android Wear or any other competing efforts from independent vendors. Apple's device won't be shipping for anoth

Just a question: have you ever been in a relationship? I'm just curious, because what other evidence do you have for the seemingly bold statement that women become more like their mothers as time goes on?

This has to be the most insane, cavalierly misogynistic comment I've ever seen. Incredible. I'm laughing and crying at the same time.

I got a 4. Pretty terrible result for somebody as young as I am, but I suppose myopia and the the spectral aberration caused by eyeglasses makes it harder to distinguish colors. http://i.imgur.com/uLRW0YI.png
