From what I remember, Rio de Janeiro has something similar to this. Huge buildings were built basically right up to the beach so you can be 1-2 blocks away from Copacabana and not really know

I certainly think that many Hollywood companies are stuck in the stone age in many regards, but these devices are literally built for piracy (with the specific plug-ins, there are very legal uses of Kodi). You may have your own views on cop

That seems overly cynical to me. What GP was told is the honest truth. Even in STEM fields finding a faculty position is quite difficult.

What PSI were you running on the trainer? I destroyed a Conti GP 4k II on my trainer this winter too because I was running it around 80 PSI. When I noticed how destroyed it was I did some googling and learned that on the trainer you should

This particular case isn't terrible, but it illustrates the general attitude towards material security that could be seriously bad. With materials like this I don't think there is an acceptable threshold under which we can say &#x

Thank you, I appreciate your reply and for you altering my thinking in a much more constructive manner than the other poster.

Is it really exploitation if you pay someone who is well informed 50k [0]? Are there not legitimate cases where someone has significant risk of carrying a child themselves (e.g. extremely tiny body and hips)? Modern medicine has greatly red

There is absolutely merit to discussing ideas that you disagree with. And in particular to this context, I personally found lots of value in Atlas Shrugged. Often it lead to me disagree with her philosophy. If anything, reading things that

Yup, I tried the same thing. I would guess they are still doing some sort of server-side personalization and/or identification, they just don't continue to track you via cookies. For me it wasn't that surprising, I tried doin

I know you already say that is your point of view, but I think this very much in the eye of the beholder. I very much like this personalization and it makes it easier to find things I'm looking for. E.g. when I search `latex` I don&#x2

The difficult thing about anti-doping in amateur athletes is that the stakes are way too low to be testing that frequently, unless you are at the very top of the amateur range. And when you stop doping your fitness gains don't disapp

Naive question: how does net neutrality entrench companies? To me it seems the opposite, the more you can pay the better service your company can offer which directly benefits larger entrenched companies, no?

I could see an argument that Apple should make a tool like Homebrew themselves or official support Homebrew development (maybe they do, haven't looked), but including it in the app store would just be confusing. Plus, I can type '

There are many ways to frame this current trade dispute. Sure, there is history here and more to it, but most immediately this is a retaliation. Personally, I'm quite frustrated by Trump's fixation with the trade deficit. I wish h

As a sibling comment pointed out, Apple UIs being 'intuitive' is pretty subjective. As an android user whenever I do something on an iOS phone I have trouble going 'back' because there's no consistent back button.

If other companies do it then why would they be doing it for press? I think it's more likely that this is getting an article because there's been such obscene amounts of hype around Magic Leap.

They could have made a genuine effort to ensure the data was actually deleted. The idea that a legal certification would be enough from a company that conducted itself in such a manner is laughable.

Yes, but if you look at studies for the vast majority of people the common denominator across diets like the GP mentioned is improved diet quality and eating less. Most people don't need to remove carbs themselves. Sure, pasta is refin

Ugh. Carbs are fuel. Cutting out the specifics you mentioned are good, but generally cutting out carbs is not good for most people.

From what I've read (including one of your sibling comments), when it comes to CP there is much less of a seller and user dichotomy. Many times people are both consumers and producers. Some sites/networks will even require someone
