Perhaps it’s not the best example. Replace it with something more specific if you wish, like “placing live fragmentation grenades in one’s mouth in moderation”.

I think your reaction to the first statement is an indication that you didn’t read the second. I specifically argue that there is no clear scientific indication relating to moderate porn consumption, whereas there are clear indications abou

Not everything is fine in moderation. Mainlining sulfuric acid, for example. Whether porn consumption is fine in moderation is a subject of fair debate. Unfortunately, the science on this is not sufficiently clear.

Retaining email addresses doesn’t necessarily suggest deliberate misuse (or even accidental misuse), however. Unless you’re of the opinion that retaining it after, say, account closure/deactivation, is itself misuse. I’d take a big iss

But is knowledge of your email address yours ? Do you expect to control all knowledge? What action do you take when someone accidentally CCs another party when they should’ve BCC’ed, and your address is leaked? There are pieces of informat

Apart from including publisher results in a way that doesn't differentiate those results from apps themselves (a different icon would really help), I really can't say I have any complaints with search. That said, I tend to know

Oat milk's actually quite nice. Seems to do much less "taste damage" toward espresso drinks than other nut milks. It'll be the fad alt-milk until we hit macadamia milk, I reckon.

It's not clear to me what a Bloomberg writer's omissions in an article have to do with my own so-called naivety about food production, so I really can't comment on...whatever it is you're insinuating.

My current instance of Spotify is consuming 5.09 GB. (Not a typo.) Certainly can't be any less efficient than that. Or can it..?

The most popular (and probably most-heavily marketed) protein supplement -- whey protein isolate -- actually has very high bioavailability compared to animal and non-animal protein sources.

There's always justification for genetically-modified foods from a producer's perspective, in that improving yields by reducing time-to-ripen, improving disease resistance and other attributes by means of genetic modification is s

There is justification for GMOs regardless. The justifications are simply more or less strong depending on the market climate.

All grocery stores sell what you refer to as organic food (what I would call organic and health foods). Whole Foods carries more of them than a typical grocery store like Kroger. There are products available at one and not the other, which

The only compelling, objective reason to record to analog tape is for its distortion quality. This is particularly true at slower speeds. At 30 ips, I’m not sure it’s an especially useful medium. You may also be able to make an argument for

It's a fair point. I can't think of any perfect solution, only solutions that are less worse than others at conveying the 'Right Thing'.

There is actually appeal to having no indicator: the absense of an indicator doesn’t inadvertently suggest anything about the site’s overall security. The padlock icon we’re so accustomed to can create a false sense of security, as every

Yeah, I don’t see NVIDIA or AMD drawing any attention to product flaws, particularly if the end-user solution is “RMA until you get a good one”. Instead, ping a few review sites and see if any of them are willing to take a crack at it.

Really good read, thanks. My brain couldn't quite grok the idea of a "cache-oblivious" data structure, but the article suggests they'd be more aptly described as "cache size -oblivious".

I'm curious what you mean by "cache oblivious". How can a data structure be "cache oblivious"?

As any company grows, I’d argue that solidifying their identity becomes increasingly more important. Hence, a custom typeface they can use to distinguish the brand. Whether it will be successful or worth the effort and expense is a differen
