> Most new US production is higher cost (fracking), so the drop in market share is at least met with a stronger price floor for all. Not to be rude, but this is really off the mark. The only reason that we're not still…
This was pretty obvious imo, based on a cursory viewing of the original video when it came out. I immediately blocked the dude's Twitter account as I only use it for following fintwits. People wanted to believe it was…

This is completely off subject, but as a personal rule of thumb, 99% of articles that include the first person, such as "Why I [did xyz]..." or "How we can...", are clickbait. Ime, the best case scenario is Acme Tech…
I tend to side with your opinion (obviously, based on the above code), but detaro does have a point, which is that the progress message will "overflow" onto a new/next line in the console if the message has more…

Have you watched the documentary "Boxes?" https://imdb.com/title/tt1263704/ I think you really knock Kubrick without giving proper respect to his work ethic. And sure, luck is when preparation meets opportunity, but…
Thanks for the link... enjoyable and educational :) Wonder where Immortal Technique would fit within that chart.
Would like to see a similar analysis that instead looks at the number of syllables, specifically vocabulary that has greater than 2 syllables. In addition to being of personal interest (I think it's much more difficult…
They're not mutually exclusive. There is a popular private tracker that uses IPFS to host screenshot previews, while serving the actual videos via torrent.
