I fail to see how political correctness is both a nebulous concept and a dogmatic belief system at the same time. Along the same lines, the idea that their is some sort of over-arc…

If the author didn't want to talk about the banh mi thing, why even mention it? It is relevant to the discussion after all, since the portrayal of such instances in the media have …

When did not wanting to eat shitty banh mi become a case of political correctness gone too far? If I pay for a slice of prosciutto di parma and get ham from some farm in the US, sh…

Your source doesn't agree with your statement. from the wiki page: In addition to the many unresolved arguments about the construction techniques, there have been disagreements as …

I'll second that. The part about Russian PR tactics is especially relevant to Americans today.

Latency is the biggest issue with ipad for me. Laptops and desktops respond almost instantly when you type or scroll, while ipads and other tablets have a lot of latency built into…

Tautology or not, it's actually pretty easy not to eat too much, considering that our bodies are pretty good at telling us when we've had enough. All you have to do is eat a modera…

Thanks, was trying to parse the actual document and not getting very far. Interesting to try and read that stuff, but it's pretty dense with acronyms, and I wasn't getting too far …

It would be nice if the article mentioned exactly which agencies would have access.

No real habits to report, but for anyone interested in sit to stand desks, I found a site that sells them for relatively cheap. I can't personally vouch for the quality of these de…

>Boston did not have a Jim Crow system – if a black child lived in a white area, he could go to the local mostly white school. So you are arguing that Boston was so racially tolera…

> My point is simply that large-scale, forced integration made race relation problems much worse. It created problems where little existed. Are you really arguing that desegregatio…

IIRC there are also studies that suggest employers are more likely to give you raises, promotions, and increased hours if you have a family.

Actually, several developers have stated as much, most notably Thomas Biskup, who develops Ancient Domains of Mystery. That's not to say you're wrong on any of your other points, b…

You're not wrong, but the idea is that it has a longer shelf life, and perhaps more consistency in flavor. Many American staples are throwbacks to the depression era, where buying …

Heh, kinda like kraft singles being so named because they are no longer allowed to call themselves cheese. My grandmother, who grew up during the depression, occasionally complaine…

These things aren't mutually exclusive, and I think it's pretty clear that they all played a role. Also, bear in mind that a determined cheater will take any edge they can get, reg…

This article neglected to mention the apps most often used while driving, map apps.

It can certainly justify being short with people though.

I think that a lot of it comes down to designers needing/wanting to justify their job. If a designer or typographer does good work, it goes largely unnoticed, since navigating the …

>They complain about the shape of someone's arms in Street Fighter? Who cares about realism, these characters can shoot fireballs from their hands. Well, the whole point is to make…

>These lottery sites are just a product of the opportunity Valve created and its not surprising they are being used in fraudulent and immoral ways. While I definitely agree that va…

Gotta take a sec to recommend his book Why Engineers Need to Grow a Long Tail. It's an unusual and inspiring book.

Very cool prototype. Like many in this thread, I've been dreaming of a calendar app like this, something that I can pick up and use without having to read a bunch of documentation.…

Good point. One solution I can think of would be to have a button or tab that would turn the longer running events on/off. You could also have the app only display the beginning an…
