The article looks at one empty building in London, but how many dwellings are in decent areas versus shitholes / the middle of nowhere? I doubt that all of them are Russian oligarch money havens. We can play similar games in the US wit

The "good" ads I've seen are mostly in conjunction with existing content. A good example is subreddit-specific ads. For example, say that you have a woodworking subreddit. The ads would then sell wood, tools, maybe some instr

I disagree, as precedent is hugely important in interpreting the law. You link the existing situation to precedent with analogy.

Yep. There have been a whole bunch of times where my fiancee has said, "Let's go see a movie." We then spend half an hour looking at trailers, conclude that everything looks stupid, and Google "Best movies of `year`.&quo

I think the point he's making is that its business purpose is advertising for YC. Come for the discussion, and if you happen to have an idea, YC is the first thing in your mind that pops into place when you think, "How can I get

You might have to do some custom work to make some of the "history" accessible. For example, Stanford's CS144 class uses a patched version of the Linux kernel to enable people to create their own TCP/IP clients[1]. I&#x2

I'm pretty sure that fapjacks believes that the reactionless drive is possible, and all of the "No, this is silly" folks are just contrarian deniers who are holding back progress. Gotta love starry-eyed futurology people.

I wouldn't call it malice - just indifference. A politician's job is to get reelected. Ideally, he gets reelected by doing a good job, but that's not actually necessary (and it might not even be a good idea in some circumstan

I'm more interested in the secondary statistic that they gathered, that being that "two-thirds say they couldn’t get by without their parents’ help." That's easier to quantify.

Personally, I don't mind this at all, mostly because they wouldn't be writing anything if it weren't for Unity and Unreal.

I agree with this, especially since a lot of people will interpret politeness as being a sign that your decision is negotiable. That polite "No, because of X, Y, and Z" rapidly turns into "I have made up my mind, no" and

It's definitely that. My 2007 Civic doesn't account for incline when doing cruise control. It has some sort of lookup table that says, "When the owner sets me to 65 miles per hour, I go at this RPM." If I keep slowing do
