unless the NSA or another intelligence agency has an insider that could catch that before it made it up high enough to cause trouble. conceivably, someone below the insider could leak to Bloomberg realizing that they have limited options.

There's a real difference between actually working with a Kimono and adapting it or remixing it or whatever, and just trying it on like a costume. The latter relegates it to the role of some weird prop, where the main draw is its outsi

It had non-monetary value, too. For one, he was essentially paid to go on a short vacation. He also had fun creating/solving a puzzle for himself. It had value beyond what he earned.

You're being intentionally obtuse and making a flawed analogy. There is a major difference between a community garden where someone has to go to Home Depot to buy supplies and Uber/AirBnb. In the Garden scenario, Home Depot does n

Yeah, but many devices support both AirPlay and DLNA or whatever else. I bet we'll see devices that support both Google and Apple. Or someone will reverse-engineer the API, like they always do.

They do exist ( http://www.livescribe.com/en-us/smartpen/ ) but I have no idea if they're any good. You have to use their pen and their paper… I like my Field Notes and Lamy.

It has very little to do with intent. Subconsciously thinking someone with a name usually thought to indicate blackness—like Tyrone—is different is racist. Subconsciously disbelieving that a woman can answer technical questions or is a figh

>Regarding the strip-club comment, I don't know the best way to avoid it. I, as a male, try to avoid staring at another female because I fear someone like Horvath accuses me of sexism. Maybe the guy was just bored or thought that fe

There's been research done on Dvorak? I remember a few years ago, when I was trying to learn it, I ended up looking into it and finding nothing but "this person can type faster on Dvorak than QWERTY!", ie. no actual studies w

Who says that? Most of the criticism is "Bitcoin is poorly designed, it fails at basic principles of Economics, it wastes tons of power, it continues to cause income inequality…" Cryptocurrency is awesome. There just isn't a

Scientific papers are rarely perfect. Papers are often sent back for revision.

by OverlordXenu 13y ago
This is just kind of ridiculously fallacious. Surely a slightly inaccurate paper is not comparable to malicious code. That's not a fair comparison to make.

Was the science that terrible? Or rather, was the methodology so terrible or was it the data, or was it truly both? Studies are only ever useful in aggregate, anyway. It's about metaanalysis, not just what any singular study says.

But is it terribly constructive to do it in such a snarky, belittling way? If they're doing good and you think their methods are wrong, I mean, you can say that without being an ass. Though I guess it doesn't matter.

There's failure in logic that comes from thinking that code.org's public-facing copy is the same as their policy. Has anyone bothered to read the policy? Does it say the same "coding = make smarter" thing? Though I guess

What? No. Gender isn't determined genetically. It's a psychological phenomenon. Also, sex can't even reliably be determined by chromosomes. There are things like Klinefelter syndrome, or XX male syndrome (exactly like it sounds).
