I find your sentiment interesting, but we can't ignore a fact in favor of not hurting people's feelings. Of course, more research is always being done, so I'm sure in a few years a new research paper will come out and we will

I think the issue your ideal world of communication runs into, is that experts can't dedicate all of their time to public outreach. That's where journalists come in. If you want to know why your chest hurts a bit on the regular,

I've been sniffing around for projects to do to improve my coding ability and understanding of different programs/languages. Your article really motivated me to start some small projects of my own! I like the idea of not getting y

A very interesting little story. I wasn't surprised when I saw that a movie about this had been made in the 80s. Although, I was also not surprised to see a healthy amount of [citation needed]. Oh well, no good story comes without a bi

I think that's the point. I'm personally not an advocate of this because it seems to be a little too "beat you over the head" with its moral metaphor, but the whole point is that the President should have to personally k

I think a rebrand would and a healthy amount of not-with-a-10-foot-pole-itis in their attitude towards any mention of youtube or music downloading would be helpful. Like a secret menu item at a resturaunt you could use <generic>-dl

Been doing this for a few years without assigning a name to it. It works wonders for someone who is a chronic procrastinator like myself. I'd also like to add: If you can set a schedule to "just to it" for a reoccurring task,

I actually just used Best Buy as a vendor. I found the laptop elsewhere and it was the only place it was available (coronavirus shortages). It doesn't have any bloatware other than from OEM itself.

I bought a laptop from Best Buy recently, and the limited amount of contact was great. Just pressed a button on my phone when I arrived, confirmed with the employee that the order was in-fact mine, and he put in my trunk without even gettin

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I don't think GitHub has a monopoly. Git was created to be decentralized, so every developer has a "backup" of sorts on their own machine. If GitHub is truely hostile to you, taking your b

Yeah that's the real kicker. If you're a company with the resources to buy a small server (such as a raspberry pi if you're being cheap about it) and run an IRC chat, why not do it and be in total control of an essential part
