People are still using Adblock Plus? uBlock is the superior option because I can trust them not to sell out like ADP did.

There is no norm or enforcement for citations. That is your personal preference. I don't want to spend time chasing down and writing citations. Fact checking is really up to the reader. There is no rule written that says all comments m

no but I spent a lot of time studying this research when I was getting my econ degree and it made perfect sense to me. That might explain my emotional attachment to this theory, coupled with my sympathy towards African Americans downtrodden

Have you heard of his hip new tool called Google? You can find any quote you want.

This isn't wikipedia. If someone is so concerned about sources, they can include it in the reply after the parent. Nobody likes people who complain but won't do anything about it. If the lack of citation bothers you so much, maybe

Price is what you pay, value is what you get. The price may very well exceed the average engineer. However, the value to Google in incentivizing such leaders to drive product development with 100~1000% ROI is that much higher and it's

If anyone doubts the contents of the quoted text, they can copy paste it into Google and discover numerous websites pointing at it. That will guide you to the right source. Possibly someone downvoted it because they fall under the same esta

As long as there's handful of good people that I can find common value with I think really that's all that matters. There's bound to be ignorant and backward people from all walks of life from any part of the world.

I guess you are trying to tie this back to HackForums as a way to suggest intent, this is a pretty weak argument. Unless there's private messages like "oh hell yeah my nanocore is going to be loved by criminals, I'm going to

This is insane. It's like saying Roman soldiers fought well because they drank wine out of lead flasks.. I'd be extremely careful not to conflate the two because there's no causation explained by simply showing a graph. Crime

I'd say that's actually a good evidence that shows the age range where criminals are most active. As they get older, they mostly burn out. The fact that crime rate began falling in the 90s overall is directly attributed to babies

How many times do we need to be fooled? We've seen enough of corporations behaving badly and doing the exact opposite of what they claim. What reasons do we have to believe they are telling the truth?

How do you explain countries with environmental contamination but low crime rates?

by brilliantcode 9y ago
I don't see the connection. You can see parts of the world that had leaded gasoline but no increase in crime. It's highly likely that the lack of education exposes them to such risks but it's not enough to explain the wide sp

I don't think so. I think it will make the US stronger. Sure, they can't do the stuff that got leaked but it's far better to live in a reality where you won't get your organs harvested by the state for offending them.

Freakonomics talked about the decline of crime in the 90s as being directly attributed to rise of abortion. Basically, offsprings from poverty or low socio economic statuses tend to grow up without education and exposed to violence and dysf

code itself cannot show intent. the code is executed when the person chooses to run it to fulfill their intent which can be judged to be bad in hindsight if it caused harm to others. a gun by itself doesn't show intent to commit assass

The action makes it wrong not the code itself. Writing code cannot be evil, it's the user's decision to exploit the code for own selfish gain. ex. See people using cars or knives or guns as weapons to commit crimes, we don't

If US withdraws from Korea, it's forfeiting it's sphere of influence in the region. Will it happen one day? Of course. But until that day comes, the US will not budge until China too is conquered (unlikely).
