Ok, my bad. There’s nothing there that negative towards the article. It just strikes me that this line of questioning blasting is often used to create uncertainty. My hostility to …

It’s pretty simple, stuff grows on boats, then boats move, then stuff falls off. Source: I’ve owned boats that lived in salt water. Maybe try just appreciating those basic facts ra…

How is this under the FCC’s authority?

Even if they aren’t, it’s best to assume they are and stay the fuck away. Hydrazine is nasty

Ok, solve space is cool. But let me know when it’s ready to tackle more than a “hello world” level design problem.

A quality bike can last a really long time.

Just pick up your instrument and make some noise. DAWs are time sinks. Music is about the “feel” first and foremost. Playing music on a physical instrument or singing is a feel thi…

What a bunch of fluff. The problem is that prediction markets are excellent vehicles for corruption as demonstrated by the article discussed here. You're arguing that corruption is…

Insider trading is unethical, and has long been recognized as such. It is outrageous for you to suggest that it is a good thing. It is not a free market if there is insider trading…
