Yes I like this. I haven't gone there and I may end up with no friends but I feel I may start correcting others on their incorrect definitions on billions.

I like it, it's a double down on snootiness! It's not over!

by rbg246 6y ago
Well this is intensely disappointing. I shall have to find something else to be snobby about - I feel like I have been living a lie, I have spent countless hours changing the dictionary in windows or osx to be UK English just so it didn&#x2

But it does invalidate it, as the comment does not attack the cause, it's just blaming an outcome of poverty rather than the poor. It's why often those same commentators blame the poor for being poor rather than attacking structur

Generally poverty and crime are the two that correlate heavily and so in sectors of the population where you have high levels of poverty then you also have high levels of crime which is why safety nets and welfare are so important for reduc

I didn't realise they backported security fixes for PHP(as the example) independent of the vendor thanks for that you massively upgraded my knowledge.

Are you not allowed to install a new version of PHP? Because isn't it more worrying that you are using versions of PHP that are EOL?

May I ask for clarification? Is my understanding correct in saying that this is a peculiarly JavaScript issue because you can overwrite language constructs on the object prototype? Whereas in other languages I can't affect the language

I am also one of those people I enthusiastically bought one back in early 2015. I was one over also by the UI, found it super easy to use.

I'm in the same boat, I pay for the guardian, a couple of smaller newspapers and the Australia institute just trying to even out the balance a little bit since Murdoch and what I would now call the extreme right have over 90% of newspa

I understand what you are saying however... logical analysis only gets you so far. What was logical to a medieval mind is not logical today with no difference in intelligence in the thinker the only difference being a far superior knowledge

It's utterly disappointing to see the top voted story on hacker news is am economics story (which is great!) on such an interesting topic written by a developer who from reading from his introduction has an undergraduate level of knowl

It's not that hard to qualify, it's the equivalent of three years software engineering experience with some side study. It's more a case of someone who has one year of writing JavaScript shouldn't be writing on the theor

Thanks I might learn soldering during this lockdown
135.
by rbg246 6y ago
As am I, maybe this can be a lockdown skill to learn
136.
by rbg246 6y ago
This is super interesting - would you recommend to someone who has never soldered before?

Thanks for the tip, I have a x230 with Ubuntu mate (upgraded to 16gb of ram) which I'm super happy with- only complaint is the screen and so was looking with envy at that laptop just now - you snapped me back into reality

This is quite brilliant from an artistic perspective. The world bending to fit in with the tree. Whenever I walk around I look at old gnarled trees (the few remaining) I try and imagine what they were bending away fr and trying to imagine h

Oh nice that will probably solve my dilemma on knowing what I want but not knowing where it is!

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure who you were replying with as the cited data was not from Canada and was not 15 years old. If you have a more nuanced reply with better data sources please do so.

Yes no problems it's all out there. 19% of women report sexual violence to police. (1) 10% of those reports result in a conviction. (2) So actually I was being conservative, it's actually 98%+ get away with it based on these two s

I'm more worried about the 95%+ of sexual assaults that perpetrators get away with.

I am also the same, I have a complete block on how to find things, they just aren't where I remember even though as others have pointed out its 12 years since the ribbon appeared.

That was such a lovely reply, I already agree with your viewpoint but this has given me a new way of looking at things. Thank you.

But its a known and well studied fact that people of color are discriminated against in all areas of life, what this means that white people experience special advantage in all areas of life - so all the other startup funds are for white pe

Thank you. So to summarise, no you haven't considered.

Have you considered what conditions would be required for you to be motivated to behave like these protestors? What would you need to be feeling or being treated to behave this way?
