Why is it considered best practice to use the content type header for API versioning? It always seemed like a hack to me. Url versioning makes much more sense if you consider that your API is a resource and the content of your API is a subr

I completely agree. I am totally unsympathetic about it being difficult to send consistent looking advertisements and emails that resemble web pages. If anyone from the gmail team happens to be reading, please let my comment be a contrary d

Because organised dissent against a government would be deemed a matter of national security. That might be fine and dandy now, but I think it's incredibly risky to say that there's no conceivable event in the future that would ma

That is a convincing argument for a lot of people. A lot of people also don't consider that they forfeit their right to dissent if the government ever does anything that they disagree with in the future.

The point is that 'associated with' definitely does not mean 'causes'. But somebody will probably try to use this paper as evidence of a causal link.

Isn't rebranding content against the ToS of most of the APIs for the 3rd parties you're aggregating?

I have a bunch of code on GitHub, but I sometimes wonder about taking it down or making it private... A lot of it is old and hacked together (not as much attention to detail for a quick side project), so I wouldn't want to be judged so

He's literally not. Your article says that fried chicken is racist because people keep assuming that black people eat fried chicken. And here you are assuming that when someone says "fried chicken" they actually mean "bl

Because the parent comment stated "Yes, the basis for the hypothesis is fried chicken -> black people and craft coffee -> white hipsters" as if it were a matter of fact. The blog post makes no mention of skin colour at all (

Even under your redefinition of racist, the article isn't racist. The author doesn't make any mention of race at all. Anybody correlating food and drink with a skin colour is projecting their own racist connotations.

Is this genuinely something that someone would say in America, or are you just making a tongue-in-cheek remark?

It would probably be pretty crappy to work under technical leadership with that kind of mind set anyway.

Usually when you use a citation, it's supposed to provide substantive evidence. Not just reiterating your opinion[1]. [1] This is a fact.

In this case, Facebook did pay the full whack of tax. The article implies they avoided paying corporation tax by paying out large bonuses, causing them to have been operating at a loss (on paper). If that is the case, then I don't thin
