This seems to be something that the staff should resolve. Write an email to the owner/manager with your concerns. In the absence of a person's ability to determine appropriate behavior, it's the duty of the establishment to

They have adopted the idea of the "third place" for years. This is why you find comfy chairs, fireplaces, tables, etc. Yes, it is a capitalist mechanism to justify $4-5 cups of coffee. http://www.starbucks.com/abo

DC seems to be one of the worst cities for this. I suspect it's the general demographic in many of the areas (lots of students, recent ex-students, interns, short-term residents with minimal social circles) coupled with miserable weat

R + LightTable would be lovely. As almost everyone else, I use a gross combination of the R GUI (Mac), Emacs, and Sweave. I am not a huge fan of markdown other than as a "with benefits" convention for text documents, but I see a

Fascinating about the phone. iOS only supports colemak on an external keyboard (or in a custom app) so I've not tried it there. You make perfect sense. I made a move fairly similar to yours. I went for the Truly Ergonomic keyboard b

I feel the same way but a) almost any civvies would not be able to help, b) there would be more people for emergency response to worry about, and c) families/friends would be worried sick and, unable to call, would be looking for any

It's such an effed-up situation that the terms have specific, harmful, meanings. In the same sense that "african-american" refers to black people and not white, arabic, or other races, zionism has turned into a word that mea

With all this talk about metadata, it would be wonderful if these agencies published and standardized their ontologies.

I agree with much of this, but mainly on their sales and marketing tactics. However, what does your rationale for finding them reprehensible have to do with the article? The Affero GPL/GPLv3 is arguably the most open source license av

Ironically, the same people complain about the Microsoft-style interview questions that require lateral thinking. "How many gas stations are there in _your city_?" "How would you determine how much rain falls in Washington St

People attacking zionism and the existence of Israel are generally being anti-semitic. MLK was correct in that accusation[1]. Does the Israeli government do things that I, as a zionist, despise? Absolutely. Does this mean that the State

I'm not riding you here, honestly. I do ask why you think it is bigotry and why we are entitled, as Americans, to go to Europe. Let's skip the forcible removal for the moment and just keep it on tourist/business travel at th

If you're stalled in the middle lane because you didn't ever check your oil and are backing up traffic, then yes. And while more hp + lower weight = faster, more hp = faster and lower weight = faster, generally. Ceteris paribus,

Keep using DDG and give feedback. Make an investment of your time with a slightly worse solution with a longer range goal of having a better solution later.

The specifics of your argument are a little off, but let me correct your question. "Consider this... how would you feel if he'd said the actions of the Israeli government in regards to their treatment of Palestinians were unconsci

There's no need for this. The US government purportedly exists to serve its people. What you proposed, while it may seem extreme, is very much what the US government (and others) proposes when they agree to sanctions against various

That one was for machine-printed addresses. I had the luck to hire the lead on that project in 1997 or 1998. The interview consisted of "teach me how that works." Edit: Ah, after we worked together it looks as if he went back to

What is interesting about the article, in its barely-informed conjecture, is the "revelation" that NSA employs people who focus on attacking infrastructure, and that Mr. Snowden may have been one of these people. Instead of destr
