They comply with law enforcement requests and some unknown form of their own judgement. If they can take down stormfront, why can't they take down the scammers?

The algorithm is just astonishing. A while back I (and many others) got recommended https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLmuF-0P4tk (climatic scene of Falling Down) with the category "Music". It seems everyone expecte

That is akin to not being able to accept the null hypothesis in statistics, as we assume innocence ant try to prove guilt (with the p-value of "a reasonable doubt"). While we should not explicitly disincentivize negative results,

This is a horrible move that will harm international students from no-name schools more than it equalizes nationals.

This is such a first world outlook on things. It's easy to guilt people when you live in Europe or North America and have easy access to everything you can need. Other people need to go to the other end of the world for education or th

This situation has nothing to do with "free markets". The problem is the horribly high price of entry enabling the incumbents to have monopoly power over the market. Giving the control of the prices to the government does nothing

At an earlier job, I got so annoyed with the constantly changing requirements I developed a form generator. With AngularJS. I wish I could've saved the code, it was so beautiful and horrible.

I guess, to enter the Unix password you need physical access to a machine. If they have access to a machine and can crack a lowercase password, a harder password will not necessarily save you. So at least you can make it easier for you to t

Pick a random C from R. A and B have equal probabilities of being higher or lower than C. Now with the restriction A>B, there are only three equally likely options: A>B>C, A>C>B, C>A>B. You can guess half the time corre

Hey, I had the same idea long ago: creating a website-like functioning slide show. There was no Google Slides back then so I used Powerpoint and I had no way of putting the "website" on internet.

I think the real problem is with words that already had meanings, but the meanings were not preserved. So I see some place selling Middle Eastern food in Toronto, go and buy some only to see that it is some unholy deviation from the origina

This just fell off from the main page, and is nowhere to be seen in the second or third or anywhere else but "new". Is this normal behavior or did it get soft-flagged or something?

Aren't burner accounts supposed to be for punching up, or "speaking truth to power"? You're punching down on people in a very vulnerable position, the least you could do is maybe not thinking about your reputation while

Why are you happy for having to pay for an inferior product? If you believe 1Blocker is superior or extensions shouldn't use the now disallowed API, why didn't you use it before? Or if you don't care about this at all, why ar

I'd say they just ran a regression on the variables without any interactions between gender and other variables. It seems more likely than them trying to make an argument about equal struggles.

No, that's just unrelated to the definition of unemployed. Participation = (employed + unemployed) / total people in working age. If someone is not looking for work, then they are not considered unemployed. Though you might argue

Most of the use of mathematical theorems are not from their results, but from the insights obtained in the way of reaching that result. Accepting the Halting Problem as a proof of the incompleteness theorem misses out on all of them. Suppos
