You are correct about the utility calculation, of course. It's just that many people can afford to have hobbies, and hobbies do not have to earn money or be a good investment in or…

These sort of controllers have already been repeatedly attempted for use in gaming for the past decade or more. While working examples do exist and are sold commercially, they just…

ZLib was always just an interface for Library Genesis, which remains hale and hearty here: https://libgen.is It seems like ZLib was seized mainly because they started running donat…

I'm not sure I understand - is TAOUP bad because it stole information, or because the information it has is wrong? Because I'd consider the latter to be far worse than the former.

Here is a recent article suggesting that that's at least somewhat true: https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/4/18124718/google-search-re...

>2. No hitting that damages them. To the best of my knowledge, all violence hurts children, even if it doesn't damage them physically. There's a wide variety of studies I've seen o…

Sounds like it's a machine learning based way to make it easier to design the guide RNA for the CRISPR protein used in gene editing, making it easier to target it the way you want …

I agree that it is a feature. If shutdowns are a thing, I'd rather have this feature than not. I emphasized that they call it a feature because they've hidden it and refused to adm…

Don't forget that this (in their words) "feature" was only announced after it was found by users, not before. And it's now somehow the users' fault for jumping to conclusions.

The largest benefit of Pomodoro for me is just starting things instead of procrastinating. It's a very "light" thought that I'll just spend a pomodoro on something, making it easy …

My alteration specifically or the idea generally? The only reason I suggested a tax break is because it would work as a good motivator for people to actually engage themselves a bi…

Sure. But where is this campaign located, exactly? And how come dead people are signing up for it in droves, as has been discovered in the past? And how come people who didn't sign…

Better yet, make it a tax break. You can choose where $100 of your tax goes by writing in the organizations. This is a thing in Poland for donating to nonprofits, except it's 1% of…

It's the obvious next step, but the issue there is that the current US government is likewise profit driven. Net Neutrality wouldn't have been an issue again in the first place, ot…

That's been my impression as well. It seems like the same thing you see a lot of heavier people say ("oh, it doesn't work for me ") except with more complex language ("oh, it's muc…

Here is a proposed mechanism: count calories as they are on the label, see if you lose weight. If you do not, lower them further, still counting by the label. It doesn't matter if …

You're really making it sound more complex and difficult than it is. Oh, sure, it's difficult to say with certainty that 100 calories on the label will be exactly 100 calories for …

That's true about Imgur. It has already gained a sizable community not directly related to reddit before this fiasco, I wouldn't be surprised if it grew more quickly now. It has th…
