Maybe it's that fat people have low self-discipline. A collection of fat people will likely also have low self-discipline, ie, a group of fat people may not care about fiscal discipline. It seems like a short road from not caring abo

I have a 2009 MacBook Pro that was running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I had already upgraded it to 8GB and a 256GB SSD, but the software problems (SSL, web browsers) were becoming intolerable. I had tried to upgrade it in the past without succe

IMO, a factor in why people overestimate minority groups is that the news media (and media in general) are almost always discussing one minority group or the other these days. It's in your face all the time. I'm in one minority

It seems to me that if BA thought they were more than 50% of the population, then of course they would be outraged if they aren't getting at least 50% representation in executive positions, TV & movie actors, government officials,

You want to remove your finger from the J key. If you don't, you're back to stretching your hand. Here's an experiment: stretch your hand out as wide as you can and try to move your fingers up and down. Doesn't work so

I saw a post on HN a while back and the poster was talking about using pinky for backspace because that avoided twisting the wrist. While that is true, it requires stretching the hand and fingers. To avoid this stretch, you have to move y

Keep in mind there are immunocompromised people roaming the earth (I've read it's about 3%, or 9 million people in the US), and wearing a mask doesn't always mean someone is radicalized, crazy, or needs help "getting bac

The article I read said it will be limited to adding 2 subaccounts, and those 2 subaccounts will also be taking up some of your device slots (4 on the premium $20/mo plan) I presume. So if there are already a few profiles in the house

I think it's unreasonable to compare a person driving a car with a person smoking cigarettes every day of their life. If it were up to me, I'd also deny health insurance for people more than 100lbs overweight. Why should society

I'd only let them see parts, and only the parts that are not particularly novel. They will still get an idea of the code style, whether it is maintainable, how well thought out your error handling is, etc, but will not gain anything p

Seems to me it could work just the way it does now: turn a blind eye to anyone on the "approved" list. Cops being on the take would be fine as long as they are doing favors for higher-ups. If they stop doing favors for higher-up

Potential buyers are not just in the "I will pay for it" / "I won't pay for it" categories. There is a middle who would be willing to pay for it, but if they can get it for free, will do that.
