Common sense does not require a citation.
However, that post was not common sense. It was a made up "fact" based on what someone "felt" was right.
In other words, that post was equivalent to religious doctrine.
Except people routinely feel like they'd like to lie or sleep around, so why doesn't religious doctrine say, "go right ahead"?
It's pretty amusing watching people freak out over these things and call them nude-o-scopes and similar. Just like with gun-control laws, I don't care a lot about the underlying issue, but it's so tempting to take a stance just because the NRA folk are so bloody nuts.
The NRA folks are nuts? It's the gun grabbers who are calling to lock people away in jail for owning a rifle with scary parts, or for owning a sheet metal box with a spring in it.
None of the pro-gun folks want to send *you* to jail for being a douche, after all.
Why do you fear and hate your tax-paying, law-abiding neighbors so much that you want to see them spend hard time in jail for owning a gun?
You are being pedantic to make yourself feel important.
Talk about projection.
Holy shit
That should easily be enough to keep up with a cellphone and that is without convection which is much higher.
Not just convection, but blood flow. The human body is liquid cooled, which is an incredibly efficient way to regulate heat.
Per company? Oh, look... we went out of business last night and...wouldn't you know it...reopened for business today under a new name.
How many large content producers are going to restructure periodically to make false DMCA requests? All that paperwork costs money, so you just have to make fraudulent DMCA requests cost more than they're worth.
He's got a point that many implementations make it hard to navigate the tree,
I don't even grant him that point. Hard compared to what? A flat list of posts that one should try to reconstruct the (naturally tree-shaped) discussion structure from? That's like saying we should be using square wheels because some round wheels make it hard to steer the car.
Many implementations don't give you ready access to the parent and siblings of a post. Also, it is naturally a tree, but often a thread of discussion is mostly a list, and implementations could often flatten those. But, point taken, most of those are not issues that require fundamentally reworking a tree, and they're all far better than the "wall of text" you get with a flat list.
In this particular case it is because Jeff Atwood hates threading. I think it's a huge mistake and he never manages to argue this choice in a compelling way, but I guess it's an emotional thing after all.
He's got a point that many implementations make it hard to navigate the tree, but it's not like it's that hard to implement what he wants (find my replies, see original) and be able to collapse trees.
It's using the same user-based moderation that has sunk most other discussion forums. Like-minded people will overwhelm the discussion, and moderate up people they agree with. Nothing to see here, move along.
Not even enough power for Mildly Peeved Birds, Canadian edition.
Having written all that, I would like to say I agree that in general, it's deplorable what the music companies pay artists, and that should change. But I'm not seeing anything new here.
How? It's a field with an overabundance of supply and not that much demand.
Please try to shake or stir a solid food item into another or a liquid.
I'll be waiting to find out how well that goes for you...
Sounds like a job for
I think that there must be at least one indisputable fact that all humans could agree on... I just don't know what it is but I'm certain it will never feature in a political debate.
Exactly. If everyone agrees on it, what's the point of bringing it up in a debate?
Back in the day, "fact checking" was something a newspaper or such ran against their own product. Readers' Digest was famous for their fact checkers.
If they want to check a speech in real time, why don't they run it on their own reporting and opinion pages?
Going around piously checking everyone else's facts is more creating news than anything else.
