This is probably valid, I'd have to think on it some. As a rule I am against the silencing of thought. I think I can see where you'd be right, but how do you guard against the feedback loop, things not on Wikipedia do not gain tra

The book is way broader than Wiki, basically it wants "epistemological anarchy". Let scientists do their thing regardless of what the current view on it is. Only by pushing do we discover new things. I think this is far less true

Average guy here, I have no clue what you're talking about.

Feyerabend wrote about this in his book more or less arguing against what Wiki is doing to some extent. In "Against Method" he uses Galileo and his telescope as an example of what happens when "fringe" (he uses the term

Putting aside the political portion, this seems like it could potentially lead to Wiki being "behind the times" at the least and stifling advancements at the extreme. The telescope was once fringe, and rightly so. Imagine reading

Makes sense if true. The Norse were renown in the Arabian and Rome as excellent mercenaries. I suspect travel northward occurred as well.

I was under the impression that Atlantis had to be further west towards Spain as it was something of a gateway to the Mediterranean.

Federal Credit Unions or just credit unions. They're smaller, community banks with a different organizational structure. They're something akin to a co-op, so member-owned.

Get an account with a FCU. Not saying it'll solve this out right, but it's nice to be a human and not an account number.

I'm always skeptical of these types of things without a few decades of review. "It's safe" just means the cancer it causes take 30 years to be realized.

Haxe has always intrigued me. I would never have heard of it if I had not tried to figure out how a game written in Haxe was doing a certain mechanic. It crops up now and then and is always so nonchalantly referred to, unlike something like

Well it is. Celts are the original peoples and have been invaded at various times by Gaels, Scandinavians, French, and Romans. Probably others too.

I've gotten 60 year old tractors to run on 60 year old diesel. Gumming up is much more common in gas applications. I guess modern diesel might not be so robust, I know almost nothing about modern engines.

When I worked in a DC the HVAC guys did the cooling. The electricians did the power and genset. We also had a local GE guy who did the engine part of the genset. These aren't sysadmin running generators. They are specialists hired for

It's also activated when there is slip detected, such as when you go over a broken section of road while braking or even turning. My Chevy Suburban will engage the ABS even without me braking.

My 8th grade understanding is evaporation doesn't always mean steam.

This is in line with the MO of those pushing some fanciful AI fear story. Law makers are eating up this load of fearporn though, not sure this ghost goes back into the box very easily.

For some reason a lot of documentaries or books on bison neglect to mention that these herd animals had a presence in ever US state except Hawaii. Have not seen this new film, maybe this is mentioned there.

I find this interesting, from my reading it sounds like this would provide branch-protection as well as per-file protection at the local level. It could be very useful for projects that have public and private code.

I get it, I think what is really the egregious part is that they had the power to stop this two weeks prior and instead sat on the disclosure, didn't deal with the security issue, and then their inaction forced their client to act. Luc

Seaweed is actually delicious. I grew up in New England, as kids we'd eat that stuff straight out of the ocean.
