Cats supposedly fail the mirror test, but I think they're just disinterested. There are a lot of videos of cats being shown live video of themselves and their owners, with the owne…

Assange 'conspired' to commit real journalism, which is considered a heinous crime in America.

Assuming I could keep my homicidal impulses in check, I think the rage would still surely impact my productivity.

It's a kangaroo court. America and the UK are both banana republics.

Only when I can see it..

I haven't tasted cola in years; back when I drank it I believed I could tell the difference but today I doubt I ever could. I can tell a pilsner apart from a stout. All whiskey tas…

Yeah. American homes do have 240V across a split phase but this is virtually always used only for heavy appliances like electric ovens. Split phase 240V for countertop appliances i…

I did with my family using blindfolds and we all failed. Either seems to demonstrate that perception of wine has a strong visual component.

Nope. Nor can I tell the difference in a blind taste test between white and red wine. Probably most wine snobs can't either, and probably most coffee snobs couldn't really tell the…

I don't think these devices save time at all. In the time it takes me to navigate the through the touch-screen UIs of these fancy toys I can microwave a cup of instant coffee and s…

If I were made to wear such a device, all it would have to report is the murderous intent I would have for the jackasses that made the device, and those that made me wear it. I thi…

Lex Fridman is to tech interviews what Reviewbrah is to cheeseburgers.

Nov.el is my favorite ebook reader.

Vim drops noobs straight into normal mode, meaning the moment they start trying to type they get confused. I know that's what happened to me. The arcane nature of Emacs doesn't mak…

As an Emacs newbie (less than one year of usage) I could not disagree more. I disagree with basically everything you just said. If somebody wants notepad++, they should just use th…

I can't say I'm a fan of the GUI (part of this is me not needing most of its many features, which are doubtlessly useful for others) , but the Calibre command line tool `ebook-conv…

Or just don't whitelist javascript on bloomberg, since the site works just fine without it.

A cheese medallion seems like a fitting award for a rat.

Rayiner, I wrote this response to you before you deleted your comment: If the US were targeting the House of Saud then I might believe what you say, but those guys going untouched …

If radicalization in these countries works anything like it does in the west, then the missiles would be more effective at preventing radicalization if pointed at social media tech…

Why should we believe that? Why do you believe that? Who is to say the people targeted have affiliations to the organizations claimed? The US federal government has little credibil…
