I lead a small group of people twice a week in mindfulness practice. I agree wholeheartedly with what this article is saying. Mindfulness has been sold as the latest snake oil, a cure for all ills. It is not, and it…
If by technical documentation you mean a readme page, or a few internal pages, then either are fine, as are AsciiDoc, org, etc. There's no huge advantage or disadvantage to any of them; use the one that is easiest for…
TL;DR - the writer dismisses common lisp because he can't be bothered to learn emacs.
The question the article is asking isn't matched by the headline, or the conclusion. The points raised in the article come down to this idea - if we, as a society, want to make sure everyone has access to health care,…

"American governments are not capable of running efficient programs" - that's simply false, and your statement about government employees is insulting.
Answering my own question - the graph is about mass shootings. The data is from http://www.shootingtracker.com.
California's population in 2013 was 38.4 million. According to the map, 2 Californians per million were affected by firearm violence that led to death, so that'd be about 77 people killed by firearms. According to…
DSSSL was amazing. Mr. Clark did some truly outstand work, and I benefited from using it with SGML and FrameMaker back in the day. It was hard to learn, though, and the documentation wasn't good.
On the one hand a detailed report and the other a bunch of random quotes. I think I'll trust Brookings.
Interesting quotations you included - where did they come from? I didn't find them in the report you cited. The following is from the conclusion of the Brookings report you cited, "The evidence suggests that the program…
Anybody that thinks $1.1T is a "small piddling decrease" must be a truly wealthy person. Can you spare the government that pittance? We'd all benefit from it.
That may happen, but like the "cadillac welfare queen" is an exception, not the rule. For most departments, they run out of money before the end of the fiscal year.
You mean the 2013 budget sequestration never happened? Tell that to the departments that are getting $1.1T less over an 8 year period. Between the sequestration and the lack of budget increases, the US has been going…
Ah, yes, flag it because heavens forbid anyone on HN discusses gun violence!
You may not be sure, but the researchers that study this subject are sure - http://andrewleigh.org/pdf/GunBuyback_Panel.pdf And for the US - http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/crime/2013/1...
How do you know it won't work? Seems like speculation to me.
Fixing the issues that lead a person to consider suicide is really hard. Decreasing the number of available guns is much easier and is effective. When Australia decreased the number of guns, the suicide rate (not just…
Missed the paragraph on the about page that lists the differences - http://saveosx.org/about/
I'm interested, but how is this better, or different, than homebrew?
Umm, I hate to be too nit picky, but the headline isn't deceptive. "Obama Encryption Policy Rejects Laws Mandating Backdoors" The Obama administration is rejecting mandated backdoors. That's what the headline says and…
How isn't that a zero sum mentality? Unlike in your housing example, nobody lost any true value, just perceived value. No doubt it can be hard to process, but that doesn't mean it's not a case of zero sum mentality.
I do think that right wing voters are more reactive. They tend to see/hear something, and that something becomes the most important thing. That's why Rep. McCarthy's statement on the Benghazi hearing resulted in him…
It's been a long day, so I'm probably missing something; can somebody explain to me how "These shortfalls do not count, for example, those retiring baby boomers who would have left the labor force whether or not the…
This paper appears to use the term conservative to mean right wing. That's incorrect. You can be left wing and be a conservative; in fact, it's rather common in American today. Looking the three perception statements on…
