Agreed - documentation lacks in frustrating ways at times. For example the docs [1] for migrating to their new python client are still lacking despite cornering developers into upgrading (don't offer support unless you've upgraded

If any change is going to be made it's going to come through revolution (a la France) or through someone in the top 1% changing things from the top down (a la slavery). The fact that he gets around on a private jet is neither here nor

When all the answers are found, science will stop. As a scientist you cannot accept that what you know is the final answer. Our knowledge of the world around us should be constantly subjected to the closest scrutiny, because the answers we

Any reason the authentication mechanism doesn't work? Unable to log in / use forgotten password. If we want to update our tag line, skill set on offer there doesn't seem to be any way to do this..

Kudos to you. My recommendation - https://supporters.eff.org/donate - they seem to be the only organization fighting to keep the internet open and accessible allowing technologies and services like bitcoin to exist and grow

Given twitters track record upholding user privacy in the face of lawsuits and the like [0] I'm somewhat skeptical that they'd play ball with United in this way. I'd suspect it's more likely that United and their twitter

I recently read Dan Brown's Inferno - not a great reference work by any stretch, but some compelling arguments are made along the lines you suggest. I suspect there is a lot more to it than just limiting the numbers of babies born. If

It's likely to have been run through an author obfuscation tool which mangles the language to avoid stylometry detection.

I love the sound of a dive computer HUD - though I'd be curious to see how it would be affected if your mask leaks. I guess the 'watch' would still be present - probably a good idea as masks can get lost (I had mine accidenta

This popped up on product hunt for me today. It's not clear to me how this is different to straight up RN with other libraries e.g. https://nativebase.io/ or https://github.com/jondot/awesome-react

The 6 second thing is a little bit of a mistake that sensationalizes the story. He actually ran off course for 2 miles and missed some of the checkpoints - full text from the race director below [1]. Obviously this race is pretty hardcore

I'd love for this to be true, though I remain skeptical as "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" For example, the chap who claimed he had built bird-like wings suitable for launching a human into the air[0] ga

I also have javascript disabled, and selectively enable it for websites as required. For me it's less about security and more about disabling annoyances e.g. assisted scrolling and such. On the security point, there are some answers ou

Typos happen all the time - I was going to suggest that it was a bit of an unfair comment. Then I opened up their website [0] and their strapline is "In fraud prevention Accuracy Matters"... None the less it is a useful document f

I don't know for certain but I suspect it may be more due to the calorific density of meat. Grazing on vegetation is a full time activity leaving zero time for other activities. Whereas if you only have to have a single meaty meal in

I think the Global Priorities Project [1] has that covered - at least to first order. "Definition: Global Catastrophic Risk – risk of events or processes that would lead to the deaths of approximately a tenth of the world’s population,

There is plenty in the world that needs fixing. But as is the case with startups - if you try work on everything nothing works. Focused* effort brings about the greatest likelihood of success. *I realize I'm being a bit hypocritical as

First I laughed, then I thought. Perhaps one could build something akin to Google Page Speed, but instead it provides a measure of green-friendliness? It detects expensive animations, overloading of javascript, etc. I reckon the React commu

People are quick to forget though? I can't think of a film or book that brought some ethical misstep to the fore and changed human behavior en-mass over the long term? Edit: I guess religious texts could be used as a counterpoint.

I was vegetarian for about 6 years but didn't have quite the same experience as you (in the early 2000's). By and large I was met with incredulity or confusion. Top Gear using the word "Vegetarian" as an insult didn&#x27

Votes only count if the people you vote for can be counted on. Those people are often very thin on the ground, hard to identify (it could be a political masquerade) or are unelectable because the voting majority don't like them.

All great suggestions. Something that seems like it could be a side project would be to "Make it easier to find locations for wind mills." I suspect at present the primary limiting factors are locating areas of land that are (1) w

I don't have a car so tend to take public transport or walk. But that aside, I recall reading that heavy industry releases a great deal more CO2 than all cars on the roads and that cars are a bit of a red-herring. No source though so I

I suspect that the population of every country is too price sensitive for this to make a dent. Take for example ethically produced clothing, food, etc. While they are big industries they can barely hold a candle to their less-ethical counte

This is an interesting suggestion - though I'm not sure of the net effect of iron fertilization? How much iron achieves what? I guess the legal fees cover dumping of anything ranging from nuclear waste to rubbish destined for recycling
