    my 2d monitor gets a bit wonky sometimes

    That's a bummer, I don't have any other kind.

  2. Re:Trust the philosopher, my foot! on Physicists (String Theorists) and Philosophers Debate the Scientific Method · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't ask a construction worker to design my skyscraper.

    I wouldn't ask a carpenter to command an aircraft carrier, which makes as much sense as your analogy.

    Hardware isn't software. Look at the cost curves. Accept it and move on.

  5. Faraday Frosty on Faraday Future Selects Las Vegas As Home For $1B Electric Car Factory (autoblog.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    They deserve to fail horribly just for having such a stupid name.

    Are they that much worse than the original?

  8. Re:Try the seafood platter on Physicists (String Theorists) and Philosophers Debate the Scientific Method · · Score: 1

    Philosophy majors tend to be better at asking questions than answering them.

    Usually "paper or plastic" and "do you want fries with that?"

  9. I'd rather work for systemd, they're on the up and up!

  10. You're building one? I'm only thinking about building it. Well, more like sort of thinking about it.

    Nice to have a break from all the Uber pumping.

    Just because he was a philosopher doesn't mean everything he did was philosophy.

  16. Re:String Theorists Are Not Physicists on Physicists (String Theorists) and Philosophers Debate the Scientific Method · · Score: 1

    I would have called it "weird fucking shit", but then I'm not a physicist. In fact that could be why I'm not a physicist.

    "The law and its corollaries would not apply to discussions covering known mainstays of Nazi Germany such as genocide, eugenics, or racial superiority, nor, more debatably, to a discussion of other totalitarian regimes or ideologies,[citation needed] if that was the explicit topic of conversation, because a Nazi comparison in those circumstances may be appropriate"

  19. Re:Countdown ... on Disease-Resistant Pigs Latest Win For Gene Editing Technology (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    By that argument you just have to label everything, since you can't prove that there is no problem with any of our foods

    Rot. If people have been stuffing themselves with something since horny hats were all the rage then we know.

    nearly all of which have been extensively genetically modified via selective breeding within the last few decades.

    Choosing the fattest & most docile pigs to breed from is one thing, but all the champagne & chocolates in the world would not cause one to screw a glow worm.

    Changing the source and recompiling isn't the same as poking around in the binary.

    There's himself.

  21. How bad has she fucked up? on Yahoo To Spin Off Everything That Makes It Yahoo (nytimes.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    The article notes that this probably means trouble for CEO Marissa Mayer

    Did she actually fuck up big-time, or did she just sort of muddle through without actually achieving much?

    Because if it's the former, she could run in 2020.

  22. Re:Hmmm ...Timey Wimey then? on Twitter Testing Non-Chronological Timelines (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Non-chronological timelines sounds like something out of Dr Who.

    It makes as much sense as a non-linear ruler or a non-angular protractor.

    P.S. I consider reverse chronological to still be chronological.

  23. Living underground & absence of sunlight on Prolonged Sitting and Poor Sleep Can Work Together To Shorten Your Life (latimes.com) · · Score: 0

  24. Re:Correlation != causation on Prolonged Sitting and Poor Sleep Can Work Together To Shorten Your Life (latimes.com) · · Score: 2

    correlation means things are connected, one way or the other. Either one causes the other, or they share a root cause.

    Nope. Sometimes it's just down to coincidence.
