Headline is misleading, and should be corrected. Not being American I went to look for the context, and the issue is about selection of books for educational system. Not about banning. Whether it is a successful way to…
For starters, let's read as written: I didn't say beautuful. Second: ok, replace ads with landscaping. One note though: ads pay for themselves, will it work with landscaping?
Telling "lure you attention" is just a way to frame it. There are plenty of evidence that visual monotony has negative effect on mind, and FWIW in most modern urban environments (blocky, and painfully uniform) ads often…
I doubt there was a global women poll on this issue. And strongly suspect even if existed it wouldn't show that majority of women even care. You are welcome to change my mind
These are all essentially browser ads, it's just not your browser.
Your stance looks self-contradictory. An introduced change either brings enhancement, or not. In the latter case you wouldn't expect anybody to be excited. It means one only gets dopamine boost when getting closer to a…
It's really easy to avoid intrusive ads these days: don't waste any time on TV, sign out of social platforms, use Brave, or any browser with adblocking - you're 99% done with it. As for more subtle kinds of advertising,…
Marketing texts happen to be misleading more often than not. But this exact excerpt you cited looks innocent to me. "Significantly" is subjective, of course, but other than that it's correct.
When you criticize you have to concentrate on what you see as wrong (i.e. weakest points) unless you plan to write a full review of review, so "cherrypicking" sounds rather unwarranted here.
I found that between "I already have it digital", and "I will have it digital once I get to a scanner with a paper-feeder" the distance is too big to my liking. Also it's easier to name/annotate my handwriting (to make…
- Doctor, it hurts when I do this. - Then don't do this. Web browsing on e-ink is widely known to be barely usable, and not what e-readers are made to do. So usage of "even" word is hard to explain here really.
At least in terms of law as it's applied it's definitely not true. Either your sources are not correct, or "circumvention" is described very differently in other places.
On language you may be right. On currency, it's complicated. In economically unstable countries people generally prefer to count in USD, or EUR, especially if it's something which has to be paid across borders.
Elephant in the room: Sayid. It's made for Emacs, and it's so powerful, you may want to switch to Emacs just because of it.
His statements make a lot of sense: the first language learned often has a profound effect on programming habits. That's why proverbs like "one can program in COBOL in any language" appeared.
>The PSAP can either get GPS or have the phone pinged to get it. Could you elaborate? Get GPS how?
Fellow former commie country citizen here. The limited value of banknotes made many black market operations barter-based in Soviet block, but I think if you see "money" in wider terms (i.e. as resources) that full-stop…
We can start from the fact that unlike USSR's, US gov't didn't bother itself with production of toilet paper. But by some magic it was available in the States, almost as if some invisible hand... Claiming that bad…
Unlike 99.999% of posters who praise free Soviet perks, I really lived in USSR in 80s, and can say life was quite hard. Things like healthcare were indeed free. They were also close to useless due to crumbling…
Companies opposing to NN paid for astroturfing campaign. While proponents based their marketing on fear-mongering ("The internet is dying" - NYT, "Death of the internet" - CNBC). Would be interesting to measure which…
>it's about being functional then why has Scala got more users? Scala world is not that functional if you measure it by real-life usage at least. Most of Scala code I've seen was mostly OOP sprinkled with functional…
And can you really define where this beyond lies? You know, emergencies costs variance is huge, and home ownership too. Also, "piling" money in a bank account doesn't remove money from economy.
I don't think VSCode is ahead of Emacs on some objective scale. I tried to re-create my Emacs configuration with it and found it impossible. Also VSC appeared to be notably slower when tuned closer to my needs. At the…
Well, we all can be idiots with various things. However, the problem you mention is real: ratings can be very skewed just because non-target audience may come and try something they don't need/understand. You can't…
I agree that self-restraint in expressing opinions can prevent unnecessary stirring of emotions, but your comment's tone contradicts to this noble idea: it stirs emotions by using meaninglessly overloaded words like…
