I can eat in peace at a restaurant with an obese person sitting at the next table. I can't say the same for a smoker. They are infinitely more aggravating to have nearby and I think that's the reason for the extra ire.

Even if the person turns out to be exactly as you've described, I think that they will have the resilience to overcome these devastating downvotes. Maybe this person could even use the downvotes as a signal that there is something seri

If you'd like a place with endless jokes and memes cluttering up conversation I hear reddit is fantastic for that.

Feel free to return to Reddit, where mundane things are met with endless praise instead.

He's commenting on the fact that no one here seems to understand the author did ZERO UI/UX WORK. He wrapped an existing tool. Made something incredibly useful, but wrapped an existing tool. The praise is completely misguided. I pr

I don't see your e-mail address anywhere. I'm interested in such a product.

Do you have any data to back up that simply lowering a satellite can achieve a 9X increase in image resolution? Or are you merely speculating?

What is the measure of novelty? This seems like a useless thing to attempt to measure, and then to claim one group "beats" another in it. I could use an RNG to slam together a bunch of rules and I can pretty much guarantee novelty

This is a common technique when laying up carbon fiber / fiberglass parts. For each layer you put down, you vary the orientation of the fibers such that you don't end up with them all pointing in the same direction. This makes the

Everything you know? I was expecting a lot of useful insights or quick notes about a wide array of topics. Instead this is a collection of links to things to read. You "know" all of these things? This seems like the equivalent of

They're not comparing your company to Peloton -- they're comparing your website, which appears to be "influenced" by the Peloton site. The color scheme is pretty much identical. I don't think it's meant as a co

This does nothing to address the OPs concerns. You might as well have just said "Don't worry about it!"

Do you have any evidence for this claim?

It cracks me up that in 2021 people are still posting fundamentally visual tools without so much as a single screenshot to help understand what it does

You're describing switching to a different language. There's plenty of that going around no matter what language you're using. But I don't recall once seeing anyone decide to rewrite something in the equivalent of a diff

If you're using a corded drill to assemble furniture, you're doing it wrong. Corded drills are just _drills_. Cordless drills are typically drill / drivers.

Given that this is generally place of intelligent people, it should be concerning that they didn't pick up on the fact that the article is quite obviously using a massive portion of the population to inflate their argument (16-20 year

The problem is the article isn't reporting a fabric of information. The article even calls their metric the "True Unemployment Rate". The name of the metric alone should give you pause when the situation is as complex as it i

Why would you take his general statement (musicians) and turn it into such a specific example (_jazz_ musicians)? You make it sound like jazz musicians are the only ones who would transcribe music to study it.

The amount of opinion spewed as fact in your rant is impressive. Which makes it even more entertaining when you compare it against the point you're trying to make.

I'm not sure I understand your argument. Would you rather people frame things in units they don't understand? What's your point?

I think the awful idea is paying $100 for something that costs well over 20-30x that cost new, according to the article, and expecting it to work without investing a significant amount of time and money.

Yes, heed the scary warning of the complete stranger on the internet. You might want to quit the hobby altogether. I heard that there was risk involved. Eeks!

Wow, "demonstrably wrong" are incredibly strong words given the lacking counter arguments you provided. I remember when the virtual boy came out. It was a disaster. From wikipedia: "The Virtual Boy was panned by critics and w
