I dunno.. if we just assume everyone around us is gonna be an asshole then we can never have nice things. In order to be able to take the subway I'm willing to assume that not every person in the car is gonna blast their personal music

This would've been a lot less confusing if they'd used let radius = d * random(random(random())) instead of let radius = d * (1 - random(random(random()))) But, if so, probably so much less confusing that folks wouldn't be ta

Or check this video where he does just that https://youtu.be/sdrkvTPnuTw I am not so worried about smallish spikes in gamma radiation but I think we should all be concerned about longer term impacts of small particles of D

I'm with you also. But it is getting harder and harder. I'm convinced that Facebook are actively downgrading their in-browser mobile experience for this reason. They want to force you to use their app. Reddit, at least, are more h

You went to Cambridge how hard is it to understand that some people on the internet don't live in the US?? I clicked on "are you eligible?" in attempt to determine exactly this question - but instead endured literally fifteen

It's an important question that deserves a considered response. IMHO its more than just lack of designers (though that's important) it's actually a balance of power thing. Delivering really good UX requires taking a design-le

I was lucky enough to get actual death threats due to stuff I posted online (it involved Saudi Sheiks and was almost 20 years ago you won't find it, it doesn't matter). They (not the Sheik some other random people from the interne

Thanks to this post I went from clicking around the site to watching Tamas Kocsis' Ted Talk streaming within zeronet, within about 2 minutes. What I find most impressive about this, is that the start up experience is so solid. It just

I'm sorry that nobody else in this thread seems to understand the meaning of the words "largely ruled out". I also would like to know why that is. Not saying it's aliens just saying I'd like to know the reasoning.

For those curious about this 'tilbert' character - if you switch on 'show dead' it turns out he (allegedly) wrote the software in question. Think the hellban must just be a glitch - so.. Amongst other things, Tilbert wro
