    Quite aware of that, but I was referring to something different: I hope the same information is available to the people seeing (that is: experiencing live) the art installation (or…

    One more thought: I seriously hope the artist clarifies the shortcomings of his approach when presenting it! It wouldn't be right to suggest to people that the locations are highly…

    Sites like that (without flashy Street View pictures bound to be wrong anyways) have been around for a very long time, many are provided by VPN providers to let their customers che…

    I have a Thinkpad T520 and can bend the display back all the way (~180 degrees), so that takes care of this problem. Also maybe consider a pair of running shoes for inside only? Th…

    I second https://www.brainpickings.org/ and also would like to add http://nextdraft.com/ (though it is more "general news") - other than that I can't help, because I actually prefe…

    Major non-profit community events, yes, major for-profit billion-dollar events where tickets and a commercial slot cost I don't know how much, no! I have nothing against a city fin…

    Well, I understand why the reviewer did not feel the need to make a scientific rebuttal out of a book review. It was not the reviewer who convinced me by the way, I had a look at t…

    We know far less about nutrition than we think we do. So if you know about risks and are careful about it, as far as I am concerned, there is nothing wrong with trying out various …

    2 weeks in ketosis, all I can say by now (and this only applies to me of course): 1) It was far easier than I thought it would be (some fatigue 5-6 days in, but that was quickly go…

    I too think measurements like that are "fair", it is one of THE events in the US, so it makes sense to take special precautions. That being said, the NFL should pay for this 100%. …

    You might not want to skim through the forums (though I find the discussion interesting). In the end, this actually happened and you can see a video of it here https://youtu.be/jJT…

    I don't know where to begin. 0) Linux is just a kernel, so if taken literally, it never will be an OS. But I will roll with your terminology for now. 1) Linux was a Unix-like OS fo…
