I highly recommend doing this. I got fed up at one point and started clicking unsubscribe in every non-personal or un-important email and, without all that much effort, my inbox became infinitely more manageable pretty quickly.

My understanding of color blindness has always been that it's typically a problem with the actual eye cones for color sensing--at least for non-pathological cases of color blindness.

Do you know of a reputable source debunking Capital that makes good arguments?

Being in a confined space forced to listen to some amateurs play their guitars sounds like one of my rings of hell. Anyway, here's Wonderwall

Apple's 30% cut on most things already seemed offensively high, 50% just seems utterly crazy.

An expectation that you wipe your sweat off something before putting it away doesn't seem that unreasonable.

Southwest is probably called out specifically here because they're somewhat unique in the airline world in that their entire fleet is 737s. This allows them to save on maintenance costs since there's so much commonality among thei

Optometry, particularly w/ re: prescriptions, seems like the one field of healthcare where patients can be reasonably informed. You can generally tell instantly if a prescription is right for you, and I wouldn't think there's

Preventing people from buying a plane ticket sounds worse IMO. At least some argument could be made to support preventing people with bad credit from buying on that credit. Preventing people from leaving is scary. I do agree that there’s

The idea that billionaires pay too little tax is considered a radical idea in mainstream media, so that doesn't seem like a platitude.

That is not even a little bit true. The exact opposite of that has been taking place: a reduction in upward mobility between socioeconomic classes.

While it does seem silly trying to model real world physics by approximating everything as basic shapes like spheres/cubes, it turns out that these approximations really are accurate enough for many applications. You really can get a r

One the one hand, 66 total worldwide units doesn’t seem like very many compared to most other pieces of military equipment. On the other hand, the per unit cost of submarines is a staggering $2 billion to $10 billion. For perspective, the g

I get annoyed seeing this fact too, but if it makes the general public feel goodwill towards NASA and improves public perception of our space program, I guess it's okay in the scheme of things.

Interesting. I guess I've been out of the web dev scene for a little over a decade now, so that makes sense.

Why the /.well-known/ subdirectory? Is this a commonly used directory for web dev things? From what I recall, items like robots.txt and .htaccess normally just go in the current directory.

The middle ground, or the average of two positions, isn't necessarily any more correct than either of the two original positions. It's the argument to moderation fallacy.

Oh, wow, reading it more carefully I see you're right. That's much worse than I thought.

Is the implication here that even after going all the way up to the CEO, Vodafone still only fixed it because of your association with your company?

Interesting. Doesn't this solve the problem then for people who can't get into 1-indexed arrays?

by wycy 8y ago
Fun fact: arrays in Fortran are also based on 1 by default, but they can be defined to start at 0, or even arbitrary negative numbers. The following are all valid: integer :: array1(5) integer :: array2(0:4) integer :: array3(

I just want to reply to say I had a Band and a Band 2 and absolutely loved them both. Durability issues aside with the strap of the Band 2, it was such a fantastic wearable. I found it superior to the Apple Watch. I have an Apple Watch now

Strange that the guy wipes it off in the end. If I just had years erased from my face I probably wouldn't be so quick to put them back.

Agreed. I am a power user of Word. All of my formatting is painstakingly performed by applying styles rather than manually formatting things. Headings, subheadings, captions, etc. are all tagged as such. Everything appears in the table of c
