So many of these new features seem like really they should be window manager features. I am a user of tabs but I occasionally think they also should really be a feature of the window manager and not the browser.

Do you have any evidence for systematic underreporting? One could just as easily say that the members of control groups (who do not receive cash) would have a reason to underreport their spending on things that are not approved of in order to receive more potential money in the future.

Also the research presented by GiveDirectly also includes studies of people where the cash is not from the same people as the surveys (for example state funded benefit programs that have clear and universal criteria unrelated to spending or consumption.) In those cases again there is reason to expect the underreporting to be similar across both groups that get cash and those that do not currently.

Possibly a more direct way to offset increasing the population would be to donate to things that improve living standards and the amount of control women have over their lives in countries which currently have a high birth rate.

Probably because France and Germany just accept a lot more asylum seekers.

Western Countries could change their foreign policy.

I had a very similar love for Macromedia Fireworks.

I am still paying £3 a month for one of those! Shame they don't still sell them at those prices.

Eat the rich.

Except it has a touchpad which is a much more important similarity.

What do you mean by jump the shark there? Jumping the shark is normally a bad thing. It is a sign of the beginning of the end for a TV show or franchise.

When and where did you go to school? That seems like an exception rather than a rule.

>The draft bill also places a legal duty on British companies to help law enforcement agencies hack devices to acquire information if it is reasonably practical to do so.

WTF!

If that is the intention then why has no one from inside the government gone on record to say that?

The thing is you don't really get better detail on grain. You just get different noise. There just isn't more detail on a 35mm frame.

They intend for it to only be used in countries with slower internet. You can download the apk from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebook-2/lite/ and it will work.

I meant that I type enough of what I want to open for it to be the first suggestion. The result is that I only do one chord though which feels easier to me. I guess it is about the same though.

You don't reach for cmd+t by default? I use cmd+t then down arrow then enter.

I mean all of physics is open to revision as well right? Should we look down on physics?

The law is only about tracking cookies not all cookies.

When I am stuck on writing essays for a deadline I start by reading one or two new articles on the particular topic I want to write about. Then I take relativly detailed notes on the best article I read. I then spin those notes out into exposition of the topic considered.

At that point there will be bits of the topic that I don't think any of the articles captured completly or parts where I agree with one and not others. An original point of view comes out of the synthesis.

If I am struggling at the stage where I spin the notes out into exposition I follow a relativly simple framework that forces me to keep writing. I learned it for exams but I think it is pretty versatile and adds clarty where otherwise you would be waffeling: DICE

>>Define: Define the view / theory / idea / term under consideration. Sometimes this will be pretty involved and amount to the meat of your exposition. If it is getting too long though then you should break the concept up and DICE individual parts as well as the bigger picture.

>>Ilustrate: Give an example of the thing under consideration in non abstract terms.

>>Contrast: Define the contrasting ways of understanding or a competing theory or an example of something that isn't covered by the theory.

>>Explain: Explain what motivates the theory you are considering and why it is different from alternatives.

After doing that for all the parts involved in the topic I usually have some areas that the original articles I considered didn't touch on. Then I get into evaluating.

People imagine that originality is blue sky thinking. Occasionally it is. But usually it is adding clarity or going further than someone already has on a particular topic or presenting old ideas in a new light. Often times a good reading of existing views adds light where a radical new approach just adds heat.

The policy is actually to have articles on issues in philosophy (rather than the philosophies of particular people) with exceptions for historical articles about peoples lives. The article on Marx is such an exception and the lack of an article on marxism is a result of the policy.

The lack of articles on Marxism and Leninism is the result of an editorial policy not an unconsious bias.

Articles are supposed to be on issues rather than people with exceptions for historical articles.

The article on colonialism looks pretty good to me, with relativily broad coverage and citations, but it isn't my area of intrest and I don't really have time to read it properly.

'Entries should focus on the philosophical issues and arguments rather than on sociology and individuals, particularly in discussions of topics in contemporary philosophy.'

The lack of those articles is policy not bias because they are contempry philosophers.

Ugh. Does this mean firefox will not get this feature now?

Do you have examples? I am studying philosophy and most people in the department consider it a good resource even when the author of a particular article disagrees with them (in their other published work).

Yeah. The most common letters should prioritize clarity not ease of handwriting. As such the symbol for e seems like a pretty good choice.

Raises a bit of an interesting question on how representative democracy is supposed to work. All the Labour MPs kind of won their mandate on the old manifesto. If Corbyn U-Turns on that doesn't that mean the labour party members are having undemocratic control on parliament?

Concerns about democracy aside I think this is pretty great politically. Also Tom Watson who won the deputy position has some good positions on technology.

Your view isn't backed up by studies done on implicit bias.

Of course this is considered big news. However the statistically measured significant bias against marginalised groups isn't even mentioned in the story.

One white man does better under a different name and that is enough for a whole article in the Washington Post. The article doesn't even mention the wider context of studies on implicit bias / blind reviews and so on.

Having a lack of money usually means you have a lack of time as well. Buying (say) boots because your only other pair of boots has broken does not afford you the same oppertiunity to be picky. Perhaps you will need boots before a certain time, say to go to work. You probably don't have the disposable income to buy boots before the point where you need them. This means you don't have the same freedom to research this long lasting reasonably priced stuff even if you do happen to have the budget to reach that minimum price you are talking about.
