    This is going to disappear quick, but what you are suggesting is literally what President Trump was asking the experts live on air before the context-less clips came out about him …

    The general issue with localized anonymity is it becomes a bulletin board rather than a discussion. In time this draws in drug dealers, prostitution, horny teenagers, and various s…

    I think 0-index causes a lot of new programmers (and non-programmers) confusion because they aren't used to treating 0 as a counting instance. For example, A.D. 2020 suggests that …

    First thing I looked for was JSON.stringify and yep there it is. Gonna be limited to databases that are V8's maximum string length, which changes every once in awhile and I believe…

    If cognitive ability is suddenly a valid scientific metric for sociology, there's going to be a lot of backpedalling and mental gymnastics to account for other studies.

    But but but... there was Cyrillic in the metadata of an attached Word document, and the timestamp matched working hours in Moscow! That's all you need for years of investigation, i…

    Yes, but this is simply their contrarian nature. It's a rebellion against the overwhelming opposition to [insert whatever]. Right now that "whatever" is Trump and white people, but…

    This is correct. Actual peaceful protests might have had some results, but this intolerable behavior by rioters is only turning many, many people against black people and "anarchis…

    You'd think a bunch of educated folk would realize that if you can say anything at all, then you absolutely can breathe. Stop spreading this falsehood.

    They're being down voted for the last point about Trump. He has nothing to do with this and is only doing a shitty job at [insert issue here] when you swallow the load of his oppon…

    The police brutality is relatively insignificant (though not acceptable). Every single time it comes up in these cases, the victim was either a stain on ordered society, or an hone…

    Pretty sure there are laws against mass arson, looting, rioting, vandalism, etc. so if the people can't follow laws why should the government?

    Just a few more days! We get to watch all the hatred for corporations turn to love as they all pander. Good times.

    Regarding bodily autonomy, I feel the need to play Devil's Advocate here: if organ donation saves other lives at your own moral discomfort (because presumably you wouldn't be force…

    Something stylistically along the lines of Southland Tales would work I think.

    I could not find whether this integrates with NFPA etc. to help interpret blueprints (or simplified diagrams). While determining capacity is relatively easy, it could definitely be…

    Anecdotally, around my town the lower number of drivers on the road seems to be causing those who remain to feel like traffic laws don't matter. I can't even count how many times I…

    Did you forget the whole "there was some Russian in the metadata so it must have come from Russia" conclusion of CrowdStrike?
