FOR THE RECORD, Financial crashes are not "black swan" events. I've never seen a black swan in my life, but I've seen two or three financial crashes. As far as I can tell, Taleb is…

What does QE have to do with anything? Also, if you think extending cheap financing to businesses during a financial collapse is wasteful you're a fool. Pretty strange to be bitchi…

Shameful FUD

Don't people just write helper functions to deal with the error checking spam? It's five lines at the top of the file... Anyway, I will miss our GOPATH overlords. I have enough dec…

It's a lot of trouble to go through to get people to forget you called some Thai firefighter a pedo on Twitter...

THEO DE SMAASH I'm curious why these problems with HT didn't get highlighted earlier?

Eh, it's a very limited study that basically says two sets of subjective effects are similar. Useless, maybe, but not pseudo.

Will someone please update this with experiences with Ryzen?

I think the question is, what happens when we move away from this usefulness in physics? I didn't follow the paper, but some way of backdooring quantum uncertainty into classical p…

Very carefully.

Another week, another example of people doing something dumb on the basis of medical superstition...

Forget that. There's example code in the standard library documentation that golint will flag. Seriously. And the devs don't give a fig, even though the "proper" way forces you to …

The author is obviously alluding to democracy.

Suicide is the purest expression of the precautionary principle. Think about it. Seriously, oxygen is a known carcinogen, responsible for the massive generation of free radicals in…

Finding a good doctor is harder than finding a good mechanic these days...

These medications carry black box warnings from the FDA, which means they should be used as a last resort due to significant side effects. It's great that they worked for you, but …

Don't do pills unless you're legit suicidal. Natural things like meditation and exercise are the way to go. Take some time off work or school and make building healthy habits your …

Wake me up when EUV's here...

"Cannot stop" is kind of strong. More like "have nasty side effects while tapering off and puss out". Having been on the Zoloft,I can say is got a black box warning for a reason an…

>vowel shift In the name of the Internet, MOVEMENT. Vowel MOVEMENT. They have one job, and they blow it. Shameful. Still good information though.

This seems more like an extension of the lymphatic system; also you're confusing musculoskeletal fascia with ground substance.

No, bodily "energy flows" are all in the head. It's very easy to think yourself into all sorts of physical sensations.

This is one of the weak points of the author's presentation. He's meaning "race" as ancestral origins grouped at the level at which there was relatively little external gene flow d…

Wow, pretty bad reading skills there. He's saying, explicitly, that genetic differences between races will be found, and scientists need to start educating people about how to inte…

Another gun person who thinks he's living in an action movie...
