I know this is a generic joke, but the use of [spoiler] is a pretty good punchline. We could use more of this.

I am almost baffled by the notion that here we're seeing divulging profoundly personal information being flipped on its head with the concept of privacy-by-design, but since we now live in the post-1984 era, I guess this refined level

Considering his vague fawning over HRC rather than Bernie, I think it is a qualified statement. His atheism certainly doesn't make him a de facto left-leaning liberal, at any rate.

The real solution is to move beyond the ridiculous limitation of 65535 ports to choose from.

I'm definitely on the same page. Just check my Twitter. The writing is on the wall. Although I'm not personally sold on Trump (more on the #BernieOrBust side), I can certainly see the appeal of Trump over HRC, given her very quest

Everyone seems to presume the NSA has one overarching goal in what it does, but I thought it was obvious that it answers to the demands of the POTUS. Shouldn't conclusions about "effectiveness" and "competence" stem

But she's on the side of the MIC, so she'll always be treated with kid's gloves about that. Proof? She's still running for office, not being pursued for law violations.

No. You'd be better served by learning a language you do not know. The exposure to different syntactical schemes is what would be most useful in programming.

This is really great news and I hope they execute this right. As liberating as crouton is, I still find myself wanting an Android apps for the ease of access.

Title should read, "The False Promise of Flawed DNA Testing". It isn't surprising to see prosecutors resort to underhanded methods in their zeal for imprisoning others. The basic science is sound. However, there are gaps in i

It would be more preferable to get (e.g.) 12 degrees in a year and be done with it. Online schooling that has you take tests and gives you the degrees would be far and away more rewarding than getting hammered by years of invested time and

In a way, you're correct, but in another, you're stretching it by a significant margin. Those expenses come out of payroll and is categorized as mandatory spending, in any case. The discretionary spending, to which I implicitly re

While this is technically true, the issue is that the result of the print is sent to a favored few, which is fundamentally at the expense of those who do not receive an apportioned amount. Hence, with the kind of structured inflation that i

Ketamine is still far too drastic and probably only really necessary when the depression is acute and prolonged. I would rather advise a non-SSRI like tianeptine. At least that is currently O.C. without an Rx required. Edit: looks like HN h

Not merely will it store biometric data, if you happen to use their Messenger to share photos, those photos will remain stored on their servers even after you've deleted the associated conversation. Facebook's disregard for privac

One might say this is something of an over-generalization when one realizes that there were monumental figures like Charles Sanders Peirce -- but then one recalls he has ironically only but recently come in vogue in philosophy-the-field, su

Corvids and cetaceans would be good for future study, but I doubt we're in for much of a surprise. This is a study in line with interspecies differences. Intraspecies differences still require some teasing out. E.g., how does a Gauss d

This might actually work. Thanks!

Your complaint about clunkiness isn't wrong. But consider the contrast of (1) stating a full phrase that preserves the symmetry between syntactical constructs with their semantic counterparts or (2) the acronymic representation thereof

By delete, do you mean I can delete %APPDATA%\Local\Lxss from the Windows side? I don't think that will work, as I've already tried that.

While this is an interesting technical overview, could anyone give me an idea of how to reinstall lxrun? The blasted thing doesn't work for me anymore and there's basically no documentation on how to fix it other than reinstalling

It would be helpful to mention that the antidepressants of which you speak are SSRI's. A rare set of non-SSRI antidepressants, like Tianeptine,[0] do not have this deleterious effect. [0]: http://www.tianeptine.com

You might not be far from the mark, actually. The funny thing about at least one Hillary supporter that I know is how vocal they are about all other politicians being just as bad as, if not worse than, HRC, and that ergo, HRC is no worse th

As a ChromeOS user and fan of Material Design, this is pretty welcome news. On the MD note: I really wish they'd improve the development capabilities of ChromeOS. I shouldn't have to install a crouton chroot to run Android Studio,

It's fairly typical in the general population. The only solution? Don't do it. Fight it. Eventually, it won't feel like a challenge. That's the good thing about conscientiousness -- it is trainable, improvable.

While this may actually sound patronizing, it's correct. Agonizing over these things is not a result of some profound grasp of reality and the ultimate causes for XYZ problems that have been around (i.e., the bell curve of ethical beha

A nice simple game. Its text-based and timed format reminds me of http://www.beepboopbitcoin.com/ which are absolutely hilarious (at least for those very familiar with the Bitcoin space).

Average users cannot be bothered with the plethora of custom options available. They "just want it to work" and not apply thoughts to how to navigate an unfamiliar UI. I'd be quite confident in saying if there was a Windows 7
