Everyone everywhere discriminates against the obese and unattractive.

You must be injecting crack directly into your frontal lobe if you think that the creator of the world's third most important programming language being asked an algorithms question (unlikely) and failing it (entirely possible) means t

When there’s something too controversial to say publicly, it’s almost always true.

If you're not certain about your setup, yes, avoid doing anything. I have a Bluetooth speaker in the crib to play white noise for our baby. It's a ruggedized speaker secured to the crib with 150-pound zip ties, and we charge it wh

One of the extremely important things with any DIY project related to your baby is KEEP THE WIRES SECURED AND AWAY FROM THE CRIB.

My house is wired for 10 gigabit Ethernet and I have a 1000 megabit symmetric ISP, but I find that I really just can't take advantage of this except when running Speedtest.net. Almost nobody I download from can saturate my downlink.

Surprised you can write a Ginsberg article in 2020 without at least discussing his predilection for sex with underage boys.

I've met too many complete fucks to believe in this concept. To be workable it would have to have some kind of qualifications. Maybe you randomly choose 99 people and then they can choose one among themselves in a deliberative process.

Why is this surprising? Sons are more likely than daughters to die a violent death, commit suicide, die young from injury, go to prison, or become homeless.

Not an aviation geek. You'd be surprised how nitpicky people will get when it comes to their family's safety. Between when the MAX problems came out and the fleet was grounded, I cancelled my family's vacation at substantial

If I stole your TV you likely wouldn’t be moving into a cardboard box either. Does that make it ok?

Extremely gross that he pocketed $3.7m but asked his investors to walk away from their $800K, because he needed to meet his financial "goals." This is the flipside of all of the VC deals that completely fuck over the founders.

I do not believe that it's "morally acceptable." I believe that it is where the world is going. America is fracturing itself while China just keeps executing. Our bridges and electrical grid and transit systems rot into obliv

I'm not a political theorist but the Chinese government is out-competing the US government by leaps and bounds. The current President is busy whining that he won while the Chinese are building probably 100 railroads at the same time.

Well, I expect that China is building world domination for the benefit of the Chinese people, not the benefit of everyone who comes under their dominion, similar to the white men who built American world domination.

China is using its money to achieve world domination in such a vastly smarter way than the US (Belt and Road initiative, controlling natural resources) that I expect my children will be learning Chinese someday the way that Chinese kids had

Why the indignation and the "snapping"? Build this in from Day 1. Set the terms of your license to reflect what you want people to do with the software.

If you leave an HP inkjet for a few months will it still print or be clogged?

Sadly, the guy who wanted to “get tough on China” was an idiot, which may set back that policy agenda by 20 years. Wish we had an actual tough guy President like Putin to wage the inevitable total war against China.

Is this that bad? I'm not saying your way is bad -- but both seem reasonable. Are some artists heavily benefited or harmed because their listeners listen to much less or much more total music than the average?

Spotify pays 70% of revenue to the copyright holder. The fact is that record labels take a much bigger bite before giving it to the artist, and then blame it on Spotify.

Each country has its own regulatory requirements. When I tried to register a dot-ai ~15 years ago it seemed like one guy who did it once a week would take paper checks only. If Austria demands a valid Austrian ID number, Amazon would have t

I disagree with the framing suggested by the word “caught.” After they were sued, they shipped this option, I tried it, it sucks.

Have you considered that the non-homeowner population might be voting for policies that increase the tent cities and open drug use, in the hopes of making the city unlivable for the rich and getting them to flee and put their properties on

LOL. I'm definitely assuming that you don't live in the US otherwise you could not ever make a specious claim like "black people are not an underclass in the United States." Even the hardcore Trumpies will agree with thi

If you are not ethnically Chinese you are an underclass in Singapore. If you are not black you are not an underclass in the United States. I have no idea what it is like to be black in Singapore but for anyone else, I would think "not

I turned off this feature when they shipped the option and promptly turned it back on. I use Apple because they make reasonable decisions instead of requiring endless configuration, and they made the right decision here. The lawsuit feels l
