> They are threatening to post photos of him sexting.

Is a photo published in a disreputable magazine significantly worse than the information already out so far which already got people thinking about him sexting anyway combined with losing custody of ~70 billion dollars in the coming divorce? I'm not so sure. Their privacy was already thoroughly invaded before this latest development.

> See how this guy in a lab coat holds up a beaker?

That's a flask, not a beaker.

I'll believe you, but a google search for that phrase brings up nothing.

> YNMO

What?

> Questions are almost entirely made with the face (by raising the eyebrows) as one example, which is ASL specific.

Thank you for the clear example. I think this context really helps people understand the conversation better.

> Sign Language gloves are an interesting idea, but they don't work. Sign language relies heavily on facial expressions and body language beyond the hands.

For clarity, could you give an example of a sign that changes to mean a different word or phrase depending on facial expression?

> But deaf people aren't actually that keen on these solutions

People often aren't keen on solutions that are either still nascent or that they haven't given a chance yet. My mom wasn't keen on navigating with a GPS until she had one in her car and it changed her life. Not being keen is not on its own a great reason to dismiss a technology. The reason matters.

IMO a more meaningful statement might be to say that the obvious alternative is simply a small keyboard, which already exists.

> If you measure by suspects, two-thirds of shooters in the 154 shootings were black men. If you measure by convictions, there were zero mass shootings in 2018.

But they literally say exactly this. Do you immediately stop reading after just the one word next to the graphic? Do the rest of the words mean nothing?

> Do you have a link to the earlier Apollo 8 images?

https://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/catalog/70mm/missi...

The page shows nothing until a 27MB full screen video downloads and starts playing. Sigh.

Is there a version that lets you look at the pages without forcing you to use that disastrously slow Turning the Pages application? The page turning animates like a tortoise crawling through molasses under a strobe light.

> Why people spend that amount of money on a Canada Goose while living in a place where the temperature never hits the freezing point is beyond me though.

I assume that they're complicitly contributing to the production of public mirth. It's really funny seeing people walking around the streets of Paris when it's +15C out with their giant parkas on.

> If we support open competition and we believe in Darwin's theory of evolution then Google is the inferior

Evolution theory has no bearing whatsoever on critical moral and philosophical concepts like whether you should be allowed to prevent others from conforming to an API.
