Lots of downvoting from Guardian fans in this thread. Other entertaining headlines: "Teaching my child to cook does not make me a bad feminist" "Why do women lie more than men? Because we're 'nicer'" "Feminists don't…
Yes. That's probably why the Guardian feels so much more extreme and polarised than it used to. I thought a lot of it was due to Rusbridger leaving, but I guess the switch to begging for donations is a contributor too.…
If conservatives are people who are dominated by physical fear, why are so many American soldiers conservatives?
the EU's goals is to serve the collective best interests of all and every single member-state That's clearly not what it's trying to do right now. For one the UK is still a member state and still paying its dues, but…
I think he means that there's a lot of debate when you peel back the covers on how much modern trade deals really impact economic growth. And quite a lot of evidence that they have surprisingly little impact. If you go…
A lot of people derive enormous comfort and security from the belief that there's a social class who can predict the future. In the past they were shamans and oracles reading goose entrails, nowadays they're analysts…
More or less any numbers you see about the predicted economic impact of Brexit come from exactly the same sets of economists who have been proven 100% wrong so far about everything, so have no credibility. They…
Anti-immigration sentiment in the UK is to a large extent driven by lagging infrastructure. As just a single example the housebuilding industry has been consistently able to build fewer houses than there are people…
The very fact that you are using the phrase "rape culture" in this case shows you are totally unbalanced, sorry! Touching somebody's knee isn't even remotely the same as rape! It's insulting to people who have actually…
I don't believe any mental or emotional distress was suffered. I also don't believe there were any "victims". Being hugged does not make you a victim, sorry. These people who are complaining need to toughen up. I mean…
So a hand that might have travelled but didn't 15 years ago and the fact that he likes hugging is proof of what, exactly? Only the insanity of our era. Don't research how the Queen of England met her husband or your…
I read both linked articles. Instead of asking me belittling questions why not describe Lasseter's crime, as it's not exactly obvious.
From the article linked below: A former Pixar employee requesting anonymity says Lasseter's leave of absence statement is "ridiculous" and "trivializing this behavior." The employee adds, "To sum this up as unwanted…
Lasseter's crime is apparently hugging people. That's not a "bad actor". This is far beyond witchhunt territory. Damn I'm glad I don't work in Hollywood. The entire industry appears to be disappearing up its own…
CPI is fairly useless anyway. It ignores where the huge money displacements are actually going: hint, not bread and circuses. The money the ECB is displacing is institutional investors money and causes inflation in…
It's only crypto that uses the term "market cap" to mean "outstanding crypto-tokens * price". That isn't what the term means in conventional finance. It's normally applied to shares.
That's not clear at all. Do you think the Twitter founder's goal was literally written down somewhere as "manipulate users to engage with it"? Or for Facebook? None of these companies will agree with that assessment, so…
Surely all news publications filter? That's a large component of their bias, if not the largest: what information they choose to highlight and which to suppress. Note that the Intercept meets most of your criteria when…
You can't really know what the impact is. You probably can't even come up with a crisp, uncontroversial definition of what "social media" actually is. Most people seem to use the term to mean Twitter, but Twitter is…
I'm not arguing that x86 will ever really be secure. However you handwaved a hypothetical "secure processor architecture". Realistically the way you do that is by making a very simple CPU, however, that would then be…
SGX is designed to shield software against SMM exploits.
If you'd like to learn about a CPU arch that is neither register nor stack based, watch the videos for the Mill and in particular the belt.
It's Intel pushing that stuff forward, with SGX.
I wouldn't worry about Trump. America didn't change overnight you know. Trump's success reflects long standing issues in American politics and the country working through them, but Germany is experiencing its own…
I'd say east Switzerland is perhaps the best functioning German speaking place. They like paperwork but things are rarely broken in any way.
