I don't think the problem is articulate people; I think the problem is people who know how to sound like they are saying something. I've met a lot of them, and some of them are disturbingly successful.

Reddit's ban hammer is significantly more liberal than it used to be. (I got suspended just for saying "fuck the king of Thailand" - in reference to a politically abused law prohibiting insults to the monarch.)

Sure, so first place at the science fair? There's not a hell of a lot of value in a constant barrage of hyperbolic articles telling us that the world has changed. It's about as useful as parents telling their kids that they'r

Keys don't need to be defined by a single component - use the monitor reported value, and failover to something like (reported_value ^ connected_port) if there's a collision.

A right from one perspective is a constraint from another. If I have the right to life, there is a constraint prohibiting others from taking it from me. Likewise, if I have the right to publish on Github, then Github does not have the right

It's not that weird. You can consider a wave passing through a filter as a sum of two orthogonal waves, rSin(θ) + rCos(θ), θ being the angle between the light-wave and the filtered angle, r being the amplitude of the wave. One wave get
