Graphical interfaces are useful to me personally because unlike a CLI, there is substantially less in the way of functionality that I have to remember, especially for programs which I rarely use. It is painful to input -h args and read thro

Why are you trying to scare them? Just explain to them that it is high risk. But there is a strong potential future for btc, and in spite of all the fear mongering, BTC has so far come back from every crash. You're not just throwing aw

We [myself former] are not simply poisoning ourselves for fun. There are a multitude of benefits afforded by nicotine in the short term, including improved focus, reduced anxiety, and of course the habit of a smoke break is great for cleari

Regardless of these specific laws, the fact that one has the "freedom" to spend time and money fighting overreaching laws in court does not make them acceptable.

"Every other form of media" is not the same as the media on the internet, where individuals create the media. More importantly, why would you want the federal government to have such abusable power? The sky may not be falling now,

Do you believe that "harass" and "abuse" are well defined? It doesn't bother you that a sizable proportion of mostly harmless messages on Facebook, Twitter, 4chan, etc are suddenly potential felonies? And that they

These laws are dangerous because they are vague enough to give the government a free pass to legally target almost anyone who uses the internet. It is another means to possibly silence whistleblowers and/or opposition.

I'd just like to point out, hopefully without being accused of shilling, that part of Net Neutrality legislation involves the quiet reclassification of ISPs as title ii common carriers. These are regulations designed for phone companie

But wait, there's more! There are at least two COX pathways; COX-1 is involved in protection of stomach lining, COX-2 is responsible, in part, for pain signalling. Aspirin inhibits both pathways. Other NSAIDs do the same, although they

No, this is disingenuous fear mongering. The article you linked examines psychosis outcomes after quitting marijuana. It does not show evidence that psychosis is caused by marijuana. In fact, the article is similarly misleading, as it make

I dont think the people who withdraw into the world of comics do it for quite the same reasons as " Religious hermits and ascetics, and moralists". This seems to be a newer phenomenon, possibly because we now live in a time where

by nnfy 9y ago
Perhaps comics are beginning to fill the void left by retreating religion. It is comforting to imagine a world in which things make sense, where good triumphs over evil, where you have an opportunity to be a part of something larger than yo

I doubt I'd be able to find anything to cite, but having lived in east Asia, I think part of the problem is that Americans take substantially longer to perform any kind of construction or repair. Things that would happen practically ov

As scummy as it is, you have to admire the ingenuity. That is a damn clever solution.

I don't think the problem is with social media. I think the problem is the competence of the average person. How many communities start out full of reasonable, productive discourse, like HN, and then go downhill once they become popula

I'd imagine the tubes are relatively stable because they regularly (at geologic time scales) experience seismic disturbances from weak plate tectonic activity and especially impact events.

I am confused. If the betting is rigged, then how were the authors able to beat it consistently? What did I miss?

How many times have you seen Donald Trump called a Nazi? You dont think it a stretch to have twitter ban people for supporting certain policies? Twitter does seem to lean quite heavily left, does it not? What about the rise of the right in

How would you even know of there has been so little research on the subject? How can you claim to have an unbiased answer when you only research one side of a topic? I legitimately want to ask you how you can be so sure that our doomsday sc

Like any market, cryptocurrencies have value because of the collective valuations of large numbers of individuals. The simple fact that people like GP exist, and that there have been enough of them to propel the market cap of BTC et al. to

The phenomenon of climate evolves on a scale of millions of years. We simply do not have historic data with high enough frequency and accuracy to truely conclude that this is an unprecedented rise rate. Nor do we actually know if it is cata

We have about a hundred or so years of high frequency data, and then we have high uncertainty, gap filled evidence of past temperatures in the form of core, tree, and fossil data and such. And basbased on this tiny trend over the past centu

I think we have witnessed the inevitable dilution of substance that occurs when the middle of the Bell Curve, so to speak, begins to participate in a social phenomenon.

I think one true measure of a superb game development studio is the ability to make a game enjoyable and interesting within the construct of the chosen setting. It would have probably taken much more than the small team they had initially,

These were national champions. The news cast was a clip from national championship debate. I don't think there is a better representation of a subject than a clip which literally shows winners competing seriously. It is the first clip

I don't know how to make this any clearer, as you seem to have a vested interest in maintaining that the clips indicate nothing untoward about the competition. A clip of ANY duration showing those behaviors bid competition is unnacepta
