IMO, it's because the black of the original logo takes up space, and keeps the BMW text and the inner circle grounded to a larger context. Without the black, the text and the circle are just hanging out at the top of the outer circle,

Yes, the internet’s always been toxic, but the audience has changed. It used to be a small subset of the world population that had the money, time, and know-how to get on the internet. Now it’s the entire world, and it seems to me that the

For plastic? Lol. The point isn’t to eliminate literally all plastic use. It’s to save the freaking planet. Taxing plastics based on their harm to the environment has the capability to drastically decrease their use, and possibly (help) sav

I’m pretty sure you are arguing in bad faith here, as your original comment and your first reply are clearly referring to the article, and implying that it is emphasizing her gender for clicks, when it does no such thing.

In this thread, a bunch of people who don’t know about Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem and the halting problem. Math can’t do everything, guys.

> The Ycombinator text doesn’t say it, but the link does. The title of the article as of this moment is, “Katie Bouman: The woman behind the first black hole image.” Saying, “the woman behind X” doesn’t emphasize gender any more than say

Could you explain why the specific heat capacity is the important metric? It seems like the rate of absorption would be more important. (In other words, the percentage of incident photons absorbed.)

I don’t know anything about IV or their business practices, but it sounds like in this case they are funding research in order to patent useful inventions that they could then presumably license to manufacturers. Doesn’t sound like patent t

You can’t have a rule against a storm, only a raindrop. Rules have to be enforced against individuals. And what rule would you make that could be enforced? That isn’t to say you couldn’t have a storm response policy. But then how would you

Gene drive is terrifying. Has anyone done any research on a gene drive “antidote” so we can fix it if we screw something up? A gene that would remove the gene drive?

No one actually believes this, including you. You may say you do, and even think you do, but you don’t. Everyone acts as if they and others around them possess free will. We act that way because that’s what we believe. Honestly, I don’t thi

Dependent types are static. GP was trying to say that this book is about more than just normal static typing (of the kind that TypeScript adds to JavaScript). There is no problem compiling dependent (or static) types to JaveScript, as the t

There were smartphones before the iPhone, but they all sucked. Then Apple made a good one (with a touchscreen), and immediately the next year, every smartphone looked exactly like the iPhone. They changed the market basically overnight. But
