Honestly, funding a research team to develop a science ranking engine that was both being continually developed to thwart gaming and effectively independent of university and science-funding politics would be a truly excellent use of YCombi

But this article is straightforward isolationism, a very old current in American political thought. The implied answer to your question is, 'So what? America is safe, that's all that matters'.

I am tired of terribly slow mobile sites. A demo of the difference would help.

"Violation of the intellectual property and impersonation or deceptive behavior provisions of the Content Policy" How is that an acceptable removal notice? What intellectual property or deceptive behavior does it refer to?

This looks like it would be insanely difficult to park. Plus, there's nowhere to put your feet, though that's easily remedied.

Moon Festival is not a lantern festival! Lantern Festival is not a harvest festival! This is my take away from glancing at the box. The adjectives that come floating up in my brain after seeing it are 'dumb', and 'did not do

Your point is very well taken. The choice of whose community values to use is an important one. If your goal is to try and exclude some actually popular but perhaps embarrassing opinions, then you are likely to need to incorporate some of t

She didn't identify the other women whose stories she told. It's an assumption that they're all writers. I think you're reading too much into her tone. The key point is that no skin is thick enough to shrug off this trea

My point is that a comment filtering system is consciously based on the identification and exclusion of a group, which we'll call the out group. Of course it's limits will be debatable, just as the definition of spam is debatable.

It seems likely, but the whole point of censoring extreme comments is to make those commenters an out group. Comment filtering would have edge cases, just like spam and porn filtering does. Do the dangers outweigh the value of pushing peopl

That's not what she said. She described a number of situations. None of them involved coworkers at all. Where are you getting this from?

How are you (or all of us men) being demonized? She describes a few things she and other people have gone through. She says she doesn't feel safe. She asking people not to tell her to have a thicker skin. That's the article, more

This looks very useful, but price, RAM and flash sizes are not readily apparent. Am I missing something?

RWBY is actually popular in Taiwan. There are fansubs and I think fandubs.

It's missing the only two locations I've ever been to: one closed (Halifax) and one just opened (Taichung). Given that no dots disappeared, I suspect there were other closures that aren't shown.

I was always dispirited by how conservative in sentiment Bitcoin and most altcoins were. It always felt to me that Bitcoin was mostly redundant to gold, neglecting the inherent advantages of ecurrency. Something more ambitious deserves to b

Whatsapp was completely destroyed in the Taiwan market about a year ago, simply because Whatsapp offered one year free while Line was free forever. When the year was up, people switched. People here laughed at the announcement - why would a

This is a good use case for Bitcoin. But I think the bits about being able to cash out from hundreds of Bank of the Phillipine Islands branches and the part about disintermediating the banks' role as middlemen are directly contradictar

If you are interested in seeing them for yourself, it is quite simple given a small amount of luck. First, collect dry moss. Soak it in warm for 30 minutes. Squeeze out the moss, and examine the collected liquid closely under magnification,

Teachers indeed very often spend their own pocket money to buy things that they feel are useful for class. Paid Dropbox is quite popular among teachers these days. Very few of the sites that I've seen tackle my key pain and time points. The
