You're grasping for informal logical fallacies, because it makes you feel smart to level them at people on the internet. Within the context of this article, there's no real evidence of an impairment to the driver's ability, w

In this case sure. But not in all cases. And remember, you’re reading a journalistic retelling of only these cherry-picked events, crafted as an emotionally poignant and compelling narrative. Interpet that aspect of this article as you will

Ah, so every collision is the product of a willful decision to enter into circumstances that place others in harms way, and may be readily equivocated to handling a loaded gun, with the intent to possibly destroy things, yes? And I suppose

An accident is an accident, is an accident, is an accident. We've all had accidents, and we know what that feels like. Negligence, maliciousness and depravity all have clear definitions. There's no clear rule for discerning human

HN is different because, if you play your cards right, there will be no obligation to additional, subsequent behavior modification based on your actions, and minimal (if any) real life social consequences related to your participation. Face

Is there a word for what one might refer to as "institutional/organizational burnout"? I feel like it's related to the age of leadership and trends in the current cult of personality du jour, and its interaction with pro

Recently, the new of the moment is pretty weird though. In retrospect, the things warranting criticism were easier targets, and there was a lot of low hanging fruit. These days, a lot of what used to catch some well-deserved flak has been r

Recall from the previous chapter that to do science (and other nice things) requires survival t not the other way around? Uh, what? I don't understand that sentence? Is " survival t " a typographical error?

And yet, it's still all just plain text editing. Clearly, one kind of answer is more fashionable than the other.

Quick, someone build that carbon nanotube cable for the fabled space elevator we used to dream about out in middle-of-nowheresville, U.S.A. and watch a new boomtown draw off all of California's excess population in quest of The Next Bi

If the Cubans are following an evolutionary path from the device concealed in the Great Seal in the 50's then... That is the furthest idea from my conceptual model of what this all might be. I don't think any of t

Okay a very simple way to add context to my claims, to prove that these are intrisic features of any operating environment that must function without network access, as a standalone system, is to look at how internet-based entities replicat

Power users not being impeded is precisely my point, and you've made it for me. That these features are considered "advanced" and thus buried is my argument. These kinds of features are not surfaced readily (existing many int

Preview.app fucking sucks. There are a handful of truly obnoxious sins that OS X commits, and not providing a graphics editing application with full access to the pixel raster is one of them. Other sins include no trivial click path to inst

Generation Kill is unwatchable, in the sense that you'd rather see the characters die at the hands of Freddy Kruger or Jason Voorhees, than bother to care about, oh, i dunno, a plot line or whether it's based on real journalism? S
