Irony? Filing taxes is a government-imposed obligation for many Americans. Accessing content from a private company is neither an obligation nor a right.

This goes beyond just breaking the law. This endangers others' lives.

So where has your focus been when it has needed to snap back in?

So the benefit is strictly in slow-moving traffic? And it's never occurred to me that steering wheel torque is an issue. And so many of these processes -- lane centering, not bumpi…

I'm still unclear as to the benefit given that you're required to attend to the road and it detects distracted people in the driver's seat?

But if you still need to keep your attention on the road, what is the actual gain? What else can you be doing that gets past the distraction detection?

You got the core facts wrong -- Tesla will, in fact, continue to patent their technology. They need to to protect themselves from others. What Musk did say is, "Tesla will not init…

Apple has figured out a way to allow us to track the NSA now?

Well there was evidence -- a vehicle that was registered to him was photographed as it was involved in a civil infraction. It wasn't conclusive evidence, much less proof. But it wa…

I was not claiming the NYTimes is a commons. Rather I was using the commons as an example of a) how one's short- and long-term interests are not always aligned, and b) how mechanis…

You haven't demonstrated convincingly that she is wrong. At best you've explained why ad blockers don't serve the short-term interests of those who consume the NYTimes. Your mistak…

I wish they wouldn't have curved/smoothed the graphs. Since it's by year, there are discrete points and values. When you curve a line it has implications for the underlying data, w…

I have never heard him referred to as "Steve Woz". Steve Wozniak, sure. Woz, yes. Or even "the Woz".

I'm not sure what Github's stated policy was, but it's clear from Julie Ann Horvath's description of how things operated there that quite a few of her co-workers were far from bein…

That idea is just plain silly. And who exactly advocates it? It's just a plain, silly straw man.

Well, I find Dad Meyer's talk to be helpful in thinking about math school education: https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_meyer_math_curriculum_makeover .

'I don't know any evidence, that teaching the "mechanistics" of math should lower the chance of understanding it.' I think that's a bit of a straw man. The challenge is that simply…

I predict the average value of fair dice thrown into the future will be 3.5. I predict the next value thrown by a given fair die is _____. Sometimes aggregate predictions are easie…

Some people maliciously or accidentally provide another's email address, and now that person is getting your unsolicited commercial email (i.e., spam). And now they must actively d…

Well mine is 4097 bits. Checkmate, Sir.

The work of Roy Baumeister shows many of these interactions. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Baumeister#Self_regulation

Did the fact that MikeRoweSoft.com sounds like Microsoft.com have any bearing on your decision to register the former?

With exceptions you can: a) handle the exceptions higher up the call stack b) consolidate error handling code for multiple error generation points With Go you pretty much have to a…

You BUY PUT options -- you buy the right to sale at a given price for some period of time. The most you can lose is what you paid out for the put option. If the price of the underl…
