I'm not gonna say you're wrong, especially since of the two numbness does seem somewhat preferable, I wonder how much agreement you'd find from someone with leprosy.

I'd argue it is, though, especially as people aren't born with the inherent ability to solve problems that cause pain, it acts as a good rudimentary indication that damage is being done. And even grown people, intelligent people i

I literally have it open right now. They've supplied slack in .deb and .rpm files for a bit now AFAIK.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking, I guess, brain fart because I was thinking how the US refers to systems of non-electrified rails that can carry trains at above 115-mph as "higher-speed".

Tesla batteries can be pretty damaging to the environment to produce. Rail is a lot cleaner in that regard if you can get an electrified rail (not sure if this works with high speed). Rail is also a much more efficient way, with regards to

I rarely go over 2 GB a month. What are you doing to use so much? Or are you on a group plan?

That would be favoring one form of speech (voting) over another. You just have to make people want to vote without directly giving or taking something away from them for it.

Living around the great lakes, and knowing what China's like due to lax enforcement of environmental regulations, this kind of stuff terrifies me. Michigan didn't do this kind of kowtowing trying to get Foxconn (to be honest I don

I think there's an argument to be made that ride sharing apps means people have an easier time relying on public transit, though, given they can use the apps to fill in gaps, making the leap from owning a car easier.

Harry Enten is probably my favorite personality of FiveThirtyEight, mainly because of the amount of humility he has despite the fact that he's very good at his job from what I can tell.

They probably just didn't think of this possible flaw in data. I mean, it's not like the university researchers caught wind of any problem, either.

I'd argue that's a lag in price, though. Even if Target doesn't lower their prices, as self-checkouts get more and more ubiquitous (I mean, they kind of have, but they aren't necessarily the standard), if a Target compet

The one hopeful thing is that maybe this will take down real production costs of stuff so their ability to buy things will grow, but they'd still need assistance if they can't find any job. I think if you don't want to leav

These kiosks are already in tons of McDonald's locations from what I understand (I've only seen them in Canada but I'm told they're elsewhere) so I don't get the hesitation. They work well, especially if there'

So maybe more should be done to incentivize vertical construction. From what I understand about San Francisco, though, it's actually kind of discouraged because of historical preservation stuff. I can also imagine established landlords

Cramming people into cities is more efficient from an energy and environmental footprint standpoint, and if there's enough vertical construction, it can be plenty comfortable.

I'm pretty sure my current phone (Samsung Galaxy S5) literally has a Kid Mode that does a lot of this stuff. And that came out, like, 4 or 5 years ago?

WP's editorial section is independent from other parts of the paper. Their editorial tends to be much more conservative, hawkish, what have you than the rest of the paper. I don't think you can really accuse the paper of hypocrisy

Similar experience, though I'm too lazy to check the value, I think I had something like 17k dogecoin mined. My password had to have been like 60 characters and I forgot it, deleted my wallet because I figured it wasn't worth much

Maybe not, but a lot of what Whorf said in general should be taken with a grain of salt with what we know about natural language nowadays.

Northern cities that are more inland seem to avoid them. Maybe they have the same earthquake vulnerability you mentioned, but I think it's extremely unlikely, but there's Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, even Montreal that are able to d

I'm not too savvy on this stuff, so correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't they build out to the nearest internet exchange point? I thought those were typically open for anybody to hook up to.

I'd argue the target audience is the "layman" in a tangential field. So, they have enough background that what the article talks about doesn't go above their head, and they can get a quick overview of the subject, but it

I have no idea if they're "official" or something recommended to owners. I think I'll try next month once the holiday season has wound down. Otherwise I'll probably just take my business to other theaters.

Most theaters I frequent typically have someone taking tickets, but they don't seem to usually care if you have outside food. I remember when I was younger we very brazenly brought in fast food to a local AMC, not trying to hide it, an

I don't think it's any worse than other auxiliary languages (which I think are all doomed to failure if that's really their goal as opposed to just building a community). I don't know if you can really attack the languag

To be fair to Esperanto, when it was invented English wasn't nearly the lingua franca it is today, and the Internet didn't exist. I don't think it's fair to critique it just because its original intent was as an auxiliar

I choose more to look at the fact that what our standards for much of that, housing, food, etc. have risen, and what we consider the bare minimum is fanciful living compared to what they settled for a century ago. Much of that is to the cre
