This may be an obnoxious comment, but if you haven't considered Amazon Locker, you should see if there's one near you. I can say from experience that there are a lot of them around even modestly sized cities and they can make this

This is a reasonable counterargument—though I'm not especially persuaded and it's a little bit of a straw man. Are you arguing that there's not enough evidence to substantiate an actionable belief that nicotine, alcohol &

I'm not sure that would help with organized brigading campaigns like this. In the Internet age, one person with the book could supply answers to these questions for hundreds of people posting fake reviews with only a nominal investment

No, but we should have a tax on sugar that offsets the cost of sugar-related illnesses like diabetes and obesity. Let people make their own decisions, but don't socialize the costs of substances we know are harmful like sugar and drugs

There's a difference, because something like "take good photos" is not a task with an algorithm. If somebody wants to know how to resize an image in Photoshop, you really just want to know which option in which menu and which

It's not "the extra test case." It's literal exponential growth in the number of test cases as you add more and more toggles. It can still be justified to add configuration options, but you can't safely test one fea

There are people still complaining about top posting? Wow. All these CS grads who invented putting the high-signal new data first clearly need to get off your lawn. This article makes me feel very old.

I think that's extremely hyperbolic. If your livelihood depended on an insight into the way Apple's financial systems operate, and your options were Steve Wozniak or the first person you saw on the street in a major city, you&#x27

RH probably won't be repaid, but they have incentives to recover here. Every state is different, but e.g., in California the median wage is about $20 / hour, and you can garnish 25% of the income above the state minimum wage of $1

The developer is the one who takes responsibility for the submission. Enforcement is meaningless if you can just say "oh I asked you to publish dangerous code, but it's not my fault." It's the same reason people hold com

Ketamine has been around, and used recreationally, since far before 2010. The only thing that's new is using it as a highly effective treatment for depression.

Increasing the wealth of a nation doesn't mean increasing the wealth of everyone in that nation. A nation can distribute those gains in wealth and power in a way that provides no utility to many of its citizens. Trade has made nations

This article is recklessly ill-informed about color blindness. It is not remotely true that red and green are the only commonly confused colors among people with the common forms of colorblindness. For more detail, see for this link for exa

I think most economists would say that the purpose of globalization was to make the nation better off, and that the nation's values, systems and leadership would be called on to distribute those gains in a way consistent with that na

This is true in a discussion where the relative value you place on international trade is either infinite or zero. You can oppose an ill-considered trade war without opposing all actions that would impact trade. This is not an either/o

Very much this. I'd recommend using these books as adjunct material. I found them indispensable as an undergrad when I was struggling to shift from a mathematician's rigor-and-proof perspective to a physicist's intuition-and-

Do you have any evidence (anecdotal or empirical) that people actually hire based on StackOverflow rankings? I'm sure it's happened in a few cases, but it seems backwards to me. If somebody came into an interview talking about the

Is this satire of the ridiculous false equivalencies so often employed in modern rhetoric? Does the author really think using a Mac in 2019 is a complicated and fiddly as using a Linux machine in 2000? Or are people just upvoting something

Even on Windows it depends on your hardware. I have two Windows laptops. One supports MAC randomization. The other won't allow it because the hardware reports that the MAC address is locked.

"Profit" just isn't really the right concept here. They pay their coach $3.2 million every year. In 62% of US states, the highest paid public employee is a football coach. In another 16% it's a basketball coach. Regardle

This is arguably a "things might go wrong in the future" argument, which has no real substance as it can be made about literally anything. To really say something, you'd need to provide some more substance about why you think

Is this an example of the kind of reactive, interactive design you're advocating? I don't see how this is helpful: it's dogmatic and doesn't address the actual tradeoffs that might be at play. Why 64 ms? And 32 and 16? W

The reality is that you must read the release notes for this to be a strategy that can even remotely minimize your risk. On one side, relatively minor upgrades can have huge impacts for some use cases. Some changes are riskier than others
