Because not all of us are so selfishly narcissistic and are rather able to consider the effect upon the lives, extant and not yet born, of our current decisions. Your apparent lack of empathy, and similarly our cultural worship of selfishne

I don’t think the big automakers — especially the Americans and Japanese — can switch gears, as it were. The reasons for this are discussed elsewhere in this thread, but thus far the EV models produced by the legacy manufacturers have bee

She signed a release form waving that confidentiality. Your dismissiveness is therefore no rebuttal.

Conversely, this attitude is why I believe that humanity won’t make it. Selfish faith does not affect actual temperatures. Faith does not decrease measured CO2 levels, or stop the proliferation of extinctions, or stop the conflagrations cur

It's not broken if your overarching goals are to decrease the political power of the poor and middle classes through increased financial instability and/or incarceration.

I switched to using Fish as my shell about a year ago, and there were some performance issues with it and iTerm, at least with my default fish/tmux/vim/vimux setup. I don’t rememeber what it was exactly, I just remember that

I do too, kinda, but I use tmux to copy text from the terminal into the clipboard, and have for years. The muscle memory around that is so ingrained now that I only rarely found myself using iTerm’s smart selection. It was nice, though.

It is my understanding that doing this is next to impossible. The way bankruptcy laws are structured student loans are almost never discharged as part of bankruptcy proceedings, and require a special hearing to justify their discharge. Thes

I fail to see what this can accomplish. A legislative body without the institutional will to enforce its wishes upon businesses is useless, and with the libertarian view being predominant this is nothing more than theater. It doesn’t appare

Your rush to judgement here is unwarranted. OP said nothing about whether what Snowden did was good or bad, just that it was a factor in the ISO's decision.

> At least I'm happy governments all over the world took a stand. But unfortunately, this trend won't stop until consumers also take a stand and vote with their wallets. This is naive. If the only solution you proffer is one of

This is incorrect. Teslas have both a brake and an accelerator. Releasing the accelerator causes regenerative braking to kick in, but they still have a brake.

You know, I’m not sure if this is a bad thing. Seemingly indomitable companies prove mortal, but the architecture they leave becomes part of the culture. Apple will not last forever, of course, but architecture... that can last a good deal

Rails was a (positive) reaction to Struts. Struts was an MVC framework, but clunky and difficult to manage. ActiveRecord in particular took many lessons from what Struts did wrong, and fixed it.

I would like to second this, and support you in that I don’t think it is an arrogant sentiment. Many of the efficiency gains vim gives you are the result of being able to navigate anywhere in a document or on a line with a few keystrokes. T

I grew up on Playboy. While I enjoyed the pictorials, I also read it. Frank Herbert, Asimov, Stephen King. And then there was the Playboy Advisor. People wrote in with questions about sex, sexuality, and relationships. To my young mind, thi

This is the first I have heard of this app. What problems has it solved for you?

It's not only about the economics, though. The CO2 you are no longer emitting has value in itself.

We have recently implemented Angular4 in our project, and have started to pick it up. Recently picked up a story that was adding a simple confirmation modal to a page: "Alert" text in the top, body with some warning text, and a ye

I abhor this line of reasoning, and it is depressingly common, especially among partisans. "I can do illegal thing X because I believe that my political opponent did the same or similar." Is has become so common that it is a tell

It was called USVideotel, and it was moderately successful. I worked for them in the late 80s. It was very popular amongst its users, but eventually lost to Prodigy and AOL.

My anecdotal experience is that I have lost ~15 pounds since I started keto a month ago, with no change to exercise habits. He may have a strong opinion, but I am not sure how based in science it is.

From what I have read, the Model S, at least, had this before Tesla and MobileEye had their falling out. This implies that they can do it, but the software cannot at the moment.
