Who says they're not going to sell at transparent and fair prices? Land is sold in public markets, it's not hard to tell if there's any cronyism. The public owns land with a certain value, a lot of that land is not being used

Damn I'm sorry. This is truly the opposite of making America great.

The main evidence is to take these companies at their word instead of assuming they're trying to cover something up. They're willing to allow payments for 90% of fetishes but exclude the other 10%. Are they really drawing the line

Financial companies deal with far more complex risks than this every day. Making a fraud-heavy account profitable is as simple as demanding a surcharge. Maybe some of the smaller guys don't have the resources to manage an account with

It really isn't. Fraud risk is something that can be actuarially managed by setting appropriate fees and surcharges on at-risk sites. It would be a huge profit opportunity if they were allowed to take it. This is part of a broad effort

It's not lack of regulation that causes businesses to shut down accounts associated with "indecent" content. It's heavy handed regulation that means payment processing companies have to glance over their shoulder every m

Lots of professional software outside of software development is Windows-only. For a 3d hobbyist, lack of Photoshop and ZBrush makes Linux very hard to switch to.

That doesn't necessarily solve the problem - you can still gerrymander quite a lot by strategically placing the centroids. An effective solution has to ensure the vote outcomes are not skewed. Simple geometrical constraints aren't

I'm glad this is the only comment on this article, the TSA is an inane joke. It's easy enough to slip weapons etc. through airport security. (I've brought a pack of blades for my safety razor on almost every flight I've

Well since providing benefits to employees without their paying tax on those benefits illegal, hopefully what prevents it is tax auditors.

That's a beautiful solution. Why is it so hard to get intelligent legislation like this passed in the USA?

What a revolting sweaty pit of misogyny. > "In general female behavior is not explicable in terms of rational pursuit of goals, but as innate reactions to stimuli."

Dual quaternion skinning seems to have failed to catch on. Support was removed from Unreal Engine for example. Why is this?

Not having to worry about upgrades. Major upgrades cost time, energy, and effort. I don't want to expend energy on it. I don't think playing sysadmin is a good use of my time.

I think it is worth reading that article in depth after scanning it quickly. It captures my own feelings about the state of the linux desktop very very well.

Mixed DPI should ultimately be fixed under Wayland. Not sure what the current status is either, but at least it should be possible in theory, whereas mixed DPI goes against X protocol too fundamentally to be worth hacking on.

They are very well funded for an open source software community. The fast paced development is a result of their kickstarters, donation drives and so on.

About nicks: I have been at it for at least six years, use a new blade with each shave, and still cut myself once in a while. Unless you have an extremely steady hand, it is just something that is going to happen.

I use a safety razor. It's not some crazy revelation, you are simply making a trade off to have a closer shave at the expense of a bit more effort as well as occasional nicks and cuts. I find it fun to fiddle with my razor in the morni

I was a bit surprised by that line as well. I mean of course KDE is going to be behind GNOME in general since it is a bit more volunteer centric with less corporate funding, but I don't think it's in bad shape at all, and it is my

I ported over a few years of custom keybindings and other config to Spacemacs. It was not too difficult, basically you can just tell Spacemacs to load whatever.el at startup. Eventually I switched to evil-mode and I rarely use most of my ol

I am a long time Helm user. I tried Swiper/Ivy when they were first announced and appreciated the speed and simplicity, but found the features somewhat lacking compared to Helm. There has been a bit of buzz about these abo-abo's e

Core Emacs is extremely snappy, slowdowns generally occur from packages. Helm is indeed a giant monster. Highlighting and redisplay is another area where things slow down.

The documentation is very good. I recommend downloading and installing it and just playing around. Just press the spacebar and you'll see an organized, easily discoverable command interface pop up. Magit is very straightforward if you
