I don't think there's much if anything revolutionary going on here
Why is Wikipedia incapable of seeing that I'm on a desktop computer from my User-Agent and redirecting me to the desktop site? Gah!
The International Criminal Court has universal jurisdiction
There's no reason it has to be only accessible to USPS. And what's wrong with just using the standard, taxpayer-funded postal service for everything? It's a useful service where it makes absolutely no sense to duplicate…
>A generation later, fewer mathematicians would be bothered by this form of "uglyness". I totally disagree. Mathematicians haven't changed at all. Ugly proofs are still considered.. well.. ugly. Machine proofs are still…
>In other words, should Tiamen Square be de-indexed globally because free speech in China does not require it. Should torrent trackers be de-indexed--free speech does not require illegal file sharing, after all? What…
The Canadian courts aren't saying what should happen in the US. They are saying what Google should do if they want to operate in Canada.
It's not a government doing anything. Courts are not part of 'the government'.
You know what is easy to read in any weather? Writing. If your shop window displays aren't easy to read in some weather stop using bloody digital displays. Not everything needs to be digital.
Grocery stores are directly selling things to you, and they cost different amounts based on their costs to the grocery stores, handling requirements, etc. ISPs are like mail services: a letter is a letter is a letter. A…
That's pretty much true though
The 'actual costs' are not the reason that fees are so high in the USA though.
Education isn't about money.
Don't be so rude. He disagrees with you. Being downvoted to [dead] and insulted is totally unnecessary.
The real answer, IMO, is not to use threads. Just use processes instead.
If you run them as a different user from yourself, maybe, but who does that? The idea that software is secure if it only runs on your own user account is stupid IMO. I'd rather that software had access to everything on…
> It requires effort to figure out what exactly will happen: Even as experienced Clojure programmer I haven’t developed a skill to parse such structures easily. No offence at all intended to the author, but you're not…
Not ironic. Just very fitting. They're using a failed system (patents) to try to monopolise their (probably very obvious) method of enforcing a failed monopoly system.
>The typewriter legacy is also how we get two spaces for new sentences This is very useful. It means I can say 'delete around sentence' in Vim and it can work out what a sentence is. Dr. Mann et. al. went to the beach.…
It's literally hundreds of times more expensive to dig underground than build up. Underground is a public space, it should be reserved for public transport.
Sorry for the harsh language, but that's fucking ridiculous in this context. Free speech? Free speech doesn't exist so that people can make ridiculous comments like 'taking comments from the public into account when…
I don't really think that makes any sense. Why would textbooks, which are already written informally and aren't intended to be computer-verified, be written less formally for the purpose of being fed into a computer?…
There's no shortage of 'intuitive' books on physics or programming though, and those fields have no shortage of, to use your terminology, 'autists'. Mathematics is hard. Many people find it hard, and blame their lack of…
MathOverflow is not StackOverflow. For that matter, StackExchange mods in general are not 'appointed'. A very few are employees of the StackExchange company, but the vast majority are just normal people that have…
That's a nice sounding, appealing-to-read philosophy. But I'm not sure that it's actually true at all.
