There's no alcohol in eg Canada Dry. It's ginger sugar syrup mixed with soda water, like any other soda.

1) Those loans are offered mainly to 18-22 year olds, not 13 year olds 2) Subsidized loans are far less prone to moral hazard than handing out large vouchers to everyone. 3) Yes there are already bad actors exploiting students with federal

Yes, all Powershell objects can be cast to string ($strvar = [string]$var) or piped to Out-String.

The distance between of the third and fourth formulations of the problem is very small. Once apps can be dynamically redrawn with a scale factor, simply make the scale factor customizable.

Watching trashy Youtube and goofing off reading Reddit and HN are some of my favorite things to do when I'm high.

You're not being too hard on the article. The hatred for Wayland is especially pointless. The author claims that Wayland "has nothing to do with the vast industry out there" because servers don't run graphically, complet

No, because all corporations are owned by other entities.

You miss a major benefit: the ecosystems of these editors evolve very quickly. Packages are updated and broken regularly, adding new features and interoporability that you may not be able to learn about yourself. A community configuration l

Interesting. If there is a workable org-mode replacement that gets org-agenda I would consider switching away from Emacs to Vim or Neovim. I'm sick of using such slow and crash prone software. (Emacs is much better on Linux. I would lo

Yeah it doesn't make sense. In the United States, all assets are owned by: 1. Households (aka private individuals) 2. Nonprofits 3. The state This is an accounting identity. Now it would be interesting to think about a machine-run non

Thank you for the work you do. I disagree with the principle of neutrality because I support Pigouvian taxation. But we could use a lot more of the other three.

I see no choice but to live like this. The objective truth about how I stack up relative to others, what I amount to in the world, the things I have missed out on and all of the times I've failed others... it is too oppressive to think

Mmmm that phrasing. So appetizing.

This seems to be exactly the same as what the anti-PC and general Trump voting crowd believe as well. They HATE oversimplifications that deny their viewpoint. For example "Affirmative action is 100% fair." That's not an objec

Honestly this argument doesn't impress me enough to call it "high-drama." The dispute about hyphens was a bit silly, but otherwise the conflict seems par for the course being an academic field.

The point of Khronos was never to implement anything. It serves as a coordination mechanism among industry players, where the specs for OpenGL, Vulkan etc. are debated, hashed out and formalized. I'm not exactly sure what your last que

Pinning stuff across all desktops is an OK solution for me. I just put Emacs up on my left monitor and it stays there.

The idea is that the parallax of two objects that are say 200 meters and 250 meters in the distance is negligible and can be ignored as long as you get the parallax correct for nearby objects. You might have to set your nearfield scale base

In the long run it could hopefully be a good thing, if better corporate governance results in Samsung improving its operations and becoming even more innovative.

Yes but $64 billion more comfortable?

It's not that I don't want to see it work out, or that I don't expect people would enjoy the ride more than flying. It sounds perfectly pleasant and nice. But it has a pricetag of $64 billion. How much more exactly are they g

It's less wasteful to spend $20 billion building a pointless wall on the Mexican border than the ~$40 billion in losses this rail is going to eat. I'm glad I'm not a California resident.

The entire point of the article is that this way of thinking is outdated. Yes, we have long considered homes as primary investments and as the best way to grow wealth, and yes, we have had falling home prices bite us in the ass before. But

I think the point is that even GPUs are suboptimal for neural network computation and we need something more specialized.

Well, we're imagining a world where robots have made us vastly richer. (Self-driving cars! 100% automated factories!) Stark increases in inequality will also mean that more of the US' total income is given to the highest earners,

No, they keep up pretty well with the C++ spec. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/01/22/vs-2015-u... You may be thinking of the lack of full C99 support.

VLC, Blender and Krita are not small applications. For the past decade these applications have been plagued by inconsistent, outdated and broken packaging. The distribution level cadence of one stable release every 2 years versus modern app

I'm not what the point is, given there are probably hundreds of bugs that somebody would say "This is the #1 worst bug in Windows 10." But for me, this is the #1 worst bug in Windows 10.

Why do you think that? Which land is better owned by the government and which is better owned by private citizens? The reason in this case is "it's sitting around and not being used for much except random public access once every
