No, I want to have something that I will enjoy, that others can enjoy, too. It's worth noting that the "appreciation" of fine beers, wines and spirits is often an excuse to inebriate while convincing oneself that it's

I'm "accusing" them only of doing exactly what they indisputably did. It is sensitive and I applaud them for talking about it and taking control. But when you post something to twitter as a public post, it is a public post an

The consequences are significantly higher even if the chance of infection is low. Of course, if given the option, medical staff will use much more significant measures. But that doesn't refute the parent.

IRR is one of those things that is remarkably simple to calculate and grok, but is made difficult in the number of horrendous instructions across the web, many of them simply wrong. Until I corrected it the NPV entry on Wikipedia (NPV bei

Everyone has a right to be heard, but I confess that I was searching around on the site wondering "who is this person?" While it sounds harsh, it sounds like their claim to fame is being one of the 3 billion or so females on the p

"He probably exercised some poor judgement" As you said, people seem to fail to understand the nuances of something like this. It's entirely possible that he meant entirely well, but acted in a manner that was -- as they ment

This is a really interesting aspect. gccgo was intended to be the very high performance compiler for Go (with the intermediate compilation that could benefit from the many years of optimization in GCC), versus gc which was relatively new an

So, are they saying that Horvath was lying? Neither party has to be lying. She might honestly believe she was treated in a specific way because of her sex, while others may have treated her in a specific way because of, for instance, her

This title is better but still makes the error of assuming the linked story relates to nuclear waste. It doesn't, but instead compares the environmental radioactivity surrounding both types of power plants.

by personZ 13y ago
And the "tens of thousands of years" is grossly overstated, at least if you apply the metric that after 600 years it'll be no more radioactive than the ore from which it was mined. http://www.ccnr.org/hlw_gr

Calling a reasoned, even-handed assessment "ridiculous" sets a pretty bad tone at the outset. That tone continues through your post (e.g. hiring difficulties are "nonsense"). The submission asks a question that many shop

Your post is reasoned and fair, and some of the bizarrely defensive replies you have received are just wholly undeserved. People vest too much of their ego into technology choices, and it reflects in that sort of over the top hostility.

Are you calling Anandtech a mysterious, unnamed source? No, I was referring to the general claim by articles that "sources" from "inside Qualcomm" gave them such information. However Anand's comment was...dubious.

Bull. I've seen numerous comments in articles that they were caught flat footed. Oh, I'm sure you've seen lurid tales of mysterious, unnamed sources who will regale about how flat-footed Qualcomm -- one of the largest ARM p
