In support: I'd rather have no ice cream than anything with guaran. That stuff tastes like plastic and gives me an upset stomach.

The worst (for my taste) is Mister Softee, common among New York ice cream trucks. It tastes like plastic foam and does not melt well. I'll prefer the cream-based five ingredients any day.

I happen not to like the mouth feel of guar gum. It tastes "empty" and, well, "gummy" where I am looking for that creamy, fat sensation.

The story is as old as the world. Part investors are pushing the concern to the chagrin of other part investors. The letter seems pretty reasonable: the under-signers are pursuing what they see as their self-interest in offering their &quot

The A-Z guarantee is actually pretty biased towards the costumer. Something went wrong here obviously, but in part it is a side effect of too much information. There was no need to go visit your neighbors--once the wrong address is confirme

I'll be happy with better/cheaper Amtrak service. Nothing beats working at the cafe car and watching the scenery roll by. Plain old rail travel is way too expensive in the US compared to the alternatives (bus or rental). Heck, I&#

The pitch is way too long and fluffy. The first paragraph is basically about how nice the beaches are. That immediately puts me off (I am not currently at the beach, and neither are my colleagues). It is always better to open with facts ins

Over and over we learn that the carrier is the weak link in the security chain. What is an effective way to deal with this? I have a Google Voice number which I use for texts and verification and which forwards to carrier cell number. Takin

"The UK gave up HK for nothing." Really? The British colonial occupation did not benefit from more than a century of British rule in the region? How about: Thatcher got off easy without a demand for reparations. Or if we are to pl

Perhaps I have security breach fatigue, but I am somewhat fed up with the usual "emails stolen" headline. An address and a name are by definition publicly available records. You can steal them simply by walking down the street and

Whoa, I cannot disagree more with the premise and the conclusions of the author. Exploration is absolutely one of the key goals of data visualization. Tukey's insight was two-fold: First, that statistics puts too much emphasis on confi

LaTeX I feel is going the way of HTML as a intermediate layer language that is not to be meant to be read/written by humans. Like others in this thread I much prefer writing in Markdown and then using something like Pandoc to convert t

Most of the conversation here is about the front-end user experience. However, for a developer, size is often a stand-in for complexity. I am attracted to "minimal" CSS frameworks not because they are marginally faster for my visi

A triangle structure is significantly more rigid than a rectangular one. Vierendeel truss needs to be super rigid to resist flex. Not good for a bicycle.

by soyiuz 10y ago
I vote for less rectangles and more triangles (like the smaller bike in the picture). It is more structurally sound that way.

My favorite bit of nonsensical marketing speak was the following "It re-creates elements in photos where they didn’t exist, by studying nearby pixels." How can you RE-create something that did not exist? Also why?

I enter my pins with at all least three fingers touching the keypad at once (with only one finger doing the pressing) for an extra layer of obfuscation. Many banks also allow multiple accounts under the same umbrella. It then becomes possib

Let's think of a system where it does not matter who prints or otherwise distributes the content and where the author (rights holder) can collect royalties on all copies.

The four factors are ALL considered in determination of fair use. You are not "covered" under any one of them. It is the opposite: violating any one of them can be used as basis for challenging fair use exemption. The gold standar
