Uh, if you can't figure that out from the directions, maybe you shouldn't run your own server? It's ludicrous to suggest that everyone should run their own server. It's like saying they should all build their own cars.

I don't buy the math in that article one bit for why they can't build more houses. I also don't buy the premise that building as many SRO-style apartments as possible is a good thing.

By "home", the author apparently means "120 square foot studio apartment". And by San Francisco, the author apparently means "somewhere near San Francisco, except the zoning laws don't allow this anywhere near

So it's better to legally require concealing the truth than it is to prevent employers from discriminating in this way?

There's a very clear disclaimer at the start of each episode that all deals are tentative and subject to due diligence and other factors.

Man with bankrupt company files lawsuit, more at 11. He's not claiming anything that the producers won't readily admit, so this should be fairly straightforward. He seems to have some merit to his claim that re-runs should show t

This whole comment thread is absurd and unreasonable.

Which is a vacuous claim. I don't perceive FM radio waves, or the weather on Jupiter. Does that mean that I don't have a sense of reality?

"his conclusion is a dramatic one: The world presented to us by our perceptions is nothing like reality" If both he and the press are hyperbolic about the absurdity of his claims, I feel justified in saying that the claims he&#x27

This is complete and total bullshit. I'd love to see any demonstration of a model of an intelligent organism with no sense of reality at all but that still functions properly. Barring any evidence, the whole article is simply "if

There are only 8 planets in the solar system (well, 9 with Pluto). "Unique" isn't a terribly high bar here.

This article presumes that everything that is not illegal is acceptable behavior. Which isn't true.

The phrase https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture applies to what you're describing here more than "economic rent" does.

There are barriers to entry to most jobs than don't fit your saying they are all harmful "economic rents".

This is not secret, surprising, or newsworthy, and the implication that it's for the NSA is pure conspiracy theory.

Anti-virus. The post seems to be complaining that Facebook is using a browser, which probably means they're testing for malware.

That seems different? Exposing (possibly private) URLs in messages via the API seems like a bug (though int64s aren't really guessable when you have DoS protection). Just visiting the link shared is completely normal behavior.

If you assume that you will be screwed out of your equity, it makes sense to be compensated entirely with cash up front. And with companies like Uber that seem to plan to never have an IPO, and also this meme that it's good to screw ex

The assumption that every employee leaves after 3 years and keeps none of their equity is absurd. I don't see any value in that example at all.

I think "people who are homeless because they can't afford homes" and "people who are homeless because they voluntarily enjoy living on the street" are two different problems and should be addressed differently. In

Yes, if you don't want to get shut down, you have to take down content for each and every complaint, even the spurious ones, until you file some type of lawsuit against it. Because otherwise somebody else will do it for you. It's

I took one class in the philosophy of science in college, and feel qualified to smugly dismiss the article. The article makes the point that knowing what something is and defining it are different. He then repeats that claim about 55 times

This is clearly a piece targeted at a lay audience. It says basically nothing interesting about the scientific method or science, but a lot about the nature of defining words. It's basically word salad with a click-bait headline (thank

This is entirely Surge's fault. Surge buys and resells computing resources. If you're part of a Matryoshka doll of platform providers, your plan has to be to take down content at the first request of your provider and to put it
