There is a psychological difference between being watched by an abstract entity and some people working for it and being watched by every passer-by, including everyone in your own group. In that sense a camera is a more fitting comparison t

What is selfish about regulating some things that otherwise put a burden on society and have almost no upside for the individual if not regulated? Even if they and their families pay the highest cost for their stupidity, this doesn't m

Do you want emergency services rendered to people who get into an accident?

I can choose between 50/10, 500/100 and 1000/200. Some providers stop at 1000/50, though.

Upload speeds for fiber in Germany are between 5% and 50% of download speeds, most of them 20%. It's strange because for DSL there was a technical reason to do this. Before DSL internet connections were always symmetric. Now it seems t

On the other hand (having no idea about the subject) I can imagine that the fact that plastics can't be broken down so easily is part of the reason why we find it so useful, for example to protect foods.

Is there a similar list for results with particularly strong evidence? Studies that have been replicated multiple times?

I can't say I know that you can improve your own intelligence. But it does seem to help better understand the world when you try to be open to the idea that you might be wrong in your opinions, if just for the fact that you haven'

It seems to be quite an effective strategy.

I get what you are trying to say. But I despise the fact that they tried to blame everything on two engineers.

Well, often you get way more than you pay for, and it would be stupid not to acknowledge that. For example almost all Linux users never pay for nor support Kernel development in any way or form. And I think the people who do the developme

I wouldn't say it is the most objective way. It is a remarkably simple way to accomplish a number of excellent things and with more success than other methods humanity tried so far. I hope we can come up with something better in the ne

It's crazy to think how unrecognizable the world is today in terms of attitude towards money. Yes, money allows big companies to do great things. But the real valuable work is to do great things, not to make a lot of money. If we knew

I like the new tabs. They don't confuse me. And they look less noisy/calmer/less crowded. The Windows task bar also works nicely without a tab design.

I would summarize it like this: The social structure of wolves highly depend on their environment. In natural environments wolf packs usually are just families dominated by the parents, whereas forcing larger groups of adult animals to shar

It is more like solving a problem once rather than creating 27 different, incompatible solutions for the same problem. I don't see how the problem should get harder to solve, just because you apply the solution to 500M instead of 20M p

JSON numbers are arbitrary precision, because the spec doesn't limit the precision in any way.

I think they did binning with 7 vs 8 core GPU, but my guess is the more intricate the binning the more complex the whole assembly logistics become, so they probably wanted to avoid that for the initial launch.

Germans know very well, that Schröder was corrupt. They still support the Energiewende. But Trump bullying Germany to stop buying Russian gas, so the US can sell its more expensive fracking gas to Europe isn't a perfect signal of since

I am happy that the donation model is working out for them, and I would like to see it applied in more areas, at least if we can't secure government funding. Most prominently for mozilla, but also other important projects which current

Point is, it was a worse day for the 6 dead people and their families.

For a more professional look, use higher res or vector graphics. Parts of the page (including the fixed header) look blurry, even on my phone with a relatively moderate by todays standards 1024px wide screen. I might be very particular abou

I don't think that is the case.

It says so in the sixth paragraph.

I would, too. But I would be surprised if it ever gets as low as 5k again, unless the crypto gets obsolete.

My ideal binary format would contain exactly the types supported by json + binary - arbitrary size numbers. It would be something like this, maybe: - 'n' - null - 'f' - false - 't' - true - 'i' - int

I think your format is closer to ideal than a few others I have seen. Like json, you don't have to prefix size of lists or objects, which is a plus (or in some cases needed) for streaming. Strings can be chunked, which can serve the sa

I think the point is that there is a systematic difference in experiences between people writing about diets and the general population that skews the debate in an unrealistic direction.
