    Examine.com does NOT sell vitamins/supplements. They collect and analyze available research, and the result of that process is their product (in the form of guides etc).

    If you're looking for performance, don't go with Vivaldi, at least if you use many tabs. With many tabs (>= 100 or so), it becomes really sluggish. For example, opening a link in a…

    No, the issue is with the very premise, then. It is not clear that consciousness necessarily only emerges from a neurochemical process. What was basically said was "We do not know …

    It seems there were/are a couple of workarounds for setting third party cookies in Safari. One was to send a POST request in a hidden iframe using javascript. This was supposedly w…

    For anyone else looking, the parent probably meant 'easystroke': https://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke It's likely available from your package manager.

    The problem is that Firefox was the last well supported browser that allowed for power user features. With this change, Firefox targets the lowest common denominator just like ever…

    That looks like opt-out (it's named "telemetry.enableTelemetry" and has "'default': true").

    See under the status headline on http://bcachefs.org/ and decide for yourself whether that's good enough for your use case.

    That setting will not work in the final release. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Firefox57#Compat._Table

    The Tinyx tool mentioned in the paper doesn't seem to be published anywhere. It doesn't help that the name was already in use (by a minimal X11 server).

    And the reasoning behind this sentiment usually is that the jokes in the show are made at the characters' expense - people watching the show laugh at them, not with them. Here's an…

    And this is why many trackers have departed from purely ratio-based requirements. A couple examples: "Required ratio" based on percentage of "snatched" (i.e. downloaded) torrents y…
