This is a hack. I like it. Refreshing.

It must be becoming more and more common. I ordered some bluetooth headphones a few weeks ago and received a counterfeit product. I was able to return the item, but by the time I had the product page no longer existed and the seller had van

And that stance is "we love money." That was nothing but PR doubletalk.

I would say that yes -- sometimes. Often making a piece of software accessible to the blind for a small time developer or a small business owner is an undue burden. If I was forced to modify two of the apps I put up on the apple store to ac

I mean we already have way better automation for pizza making and at huge scale and efficiency -- that's what frozen pizzas are with few exceptions. And some of these are great; safeway brand rising crust pizza is pretty damn good and

How much longer before governments, at society's request, use autonomous drones and facial recognition technology to execute enemies of the state and petty criminals remotely?

Many people think that the goal of prison shouldn't be punishment or retribution.

I don't know about his general claim, but a detail within his comment is right. Smaller grain size leading to stronger material -- this is a result of more grain boundaries as the scale of the grain goes down. Hall-Petch strengthening.

Richard Stallman is a victim here. He's been taken out of context, provably so, and then the lies repeated and amplified by social media and even legitimate news outlets. It is a witch hunt, pure and simple. There is no smoke, there is

No. If you have to work for a living, you ARE working class whether you have pretensions of being upper or not.

No it will not. Donald Trump is not a good negotiator and he has no strategies aside from narcissism. The guy who wrote the book said himself he made it out of whole cloth without really any input from him. You're falling for a conman,

I mean those are good things. We shouldn't bully but cooperate. Doesn't mean that you can't get a result you want if you throw your weight around.

What are you referring to there? The comments generally seem to be in agreement that this is a good move, or at least that the results will be good?

Not even Donald Trump has read it (or wrote it, to be factual.)

Aside from the active noise cancelling tech that bose uses, their products aren't synonymous with pretty good. From a technical standpoint the driver units in their headphones are crap. Even random chinese headphones at a fifth of the

Cheaper to replace a yurt than a roof on a traditional home, which you are supposed to do in a range of time similar to your predicted lifespan of a yurt. And that includes the entire yurt, when in reality you'd probably only have to r

Most people don't have a public perception to need to influence at all, so I don't think it's a fair comparison or criticism. I'm sure if you were a public figure you'd spend a minimum of effort to make sure you wer

Strict typing afaik isn't really a formally defined, imo. As you know C is statically typed and generally said to be "weakly typed" as well but you can make a strong argument that just about any language is "strong"

Pretty much. It's absolutely predatory. That's why I'm investing in building the 20 unit complex. At least it's not just me printing free money that way.

It really isn't. You pretend like rent control laws force everyone to raise rent every year double the rate of inflation. That isn't the case, and if they did they'd price themselves out of the market. Rents are competitive

I'm more than happy to pay my fair share in taxes. Honestly, I think they should scale much more quickly with income. The real estate stuff isn't even my main job, it's a side business. I'm a full time software engineer.

I don't buy it. Even with strong rent control or tenant rights laws, there's still a glut of profit to be extracted as a landlord. I understand the arguments, and somewhat agree with the purported models of behavior that say rent

What about the super-series content? netflix just purchased the rights to Seinfeld for example -- probably for an insane amount of money. Or The Office which is leaving netflix in a few years. Those probably drive new users and retain curre

I think it's not so much that it's very prevalent, I think it's that most smokers don't carry their butts away with them if there's not a trash can 30 millimeters from their hands.

Lyft claims it's because she didn't tell them, and neither did the police. >Lyft says that when Alison Turkos originally reported the incident to them, she didn’t mention the rape and only sent a message to support asking them

There's a lack of substance in this article. Why is it that this alleged rapist, kidnapper, and his associates are not in prison? I don't see why Lyft is responsible for criminal acts performed by their contractors/employees.

Honestly, who cares about facebook or google employees? They don't actually represent the bulk of software engineers -- instead, a vanishingly small minority.
