    Ctrl+F "Vivaldi" -- no relevant comments? Vivaldi is impossibly excellent. How is Arc getting so much more attention? Want vertical tabs? Vivaldi. Side bar? Vivaldi. Workspaces? Vi…

    First, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. There's a VERY strong censorious zeitgeist sweeping the country, and we liberals seem to have no defense against attacks fro…

    That sounds brilliant, but I have no idea how to do any of it. (I have a legal background, not a technical one.) Are there any plug-and-play tools that will do it for me?

    Hi all, the very cool interactive racial dot map from the 2010 census is being taken offline on December 31. I think it's really fascinating to browse, and unfortunately they won't…

    If anything, Vivaldi seems faster for me than Chrome was. I haven't seen any of the performance slowdowns that other people on this thread have mentioned. Possibly because I haven'…

    Vivaldi is easily the best browser I've ever used, bar none. But for lacking two-factor authentication on the account itself, I have no complaints - the vertical tabs, web panels, …

    ...no, they don't. Or at least not in the way that this article suggests. First, we should divide "dating" into two markets -- one for sex and one for long-term relationships. In m…

    Orrr among people who wear vision correction, the US population has a higher median income that can afford contact lenses. Without condemning anyone, the US has a very stratified c…

    Anne Frank was a refugee, ergo all refugees are Anne Frank. Cultural values and religious duties do not in any way influence the risk undertaken by a host country. ISIS in no way r…

    Oh for christ's sake. I am a major proponent of public transit and walkable cities. Anyone who shares my support should be cheering wildly at Uber's expansion. Uber is the greatest…

    I'm tempted to sneer at iPods too, but it's actually a pretty good choice for the gym. If you're worried about your $800 iPhone getting crushed, an iPod touch will record your lift…

    ...so we've gone from debating which word we should use to describe conservative reactionaries to the denial that they even exist. I'm honestly kind of impressed.

    Put mildly, you are mistaken about Mexico. From ECLAC [1]: >It should not be surprising that today more than half of its population is poor (CONEVAL, 2014), a proportion similar to…

    "Falling" is a very relative term. Rather than look at birth rate, look at total population growth on this chart: https://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&... Ce…

    I'm not sure that "redneck" qualifies as a racial slur, nor that we should never have words that describe different cultural groups. But fair enough. What term would you prefer we …

    I'm a bit surprised you don't recognize the reference. I'm not big on gaming, but even I know the term is used by PC players to elevate themselves above the Xbox/Playstation consol…

    I believe that page is outdated as of today. Until now, G+ stored pictures up to 2000px for free. As of today, photos of up to 16 megapixels may be stored for free.
