I guess I spend so much time on reddit, I tend to think the internet community in general is much more liberal and Democrat-leaning. Certainly, there is a strong Libertarian thread, but most of the online communities that I interact with ar

Really. We're doing this. It's now 2013 and we're really gonna do this. We're going to have a Linux vs. Windows flame war right here, right now? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE4fz8cwL9c It's OVER

Well, they don't rely on a single API, though. They've implemented dozens of API's. They also have some of their own API's, as well. If it were a case of relying on 1 or 2 mission-critical API's then I'd be worried.

Yeah, I'll stop using Facebook. I'll just convince all my family, friends, and co-workers to all switch to G+.

As a similarly biased person, I'd also like to see a real control group instead of just "violent" vs. "non-violent" games. Also, 70 people doesn't seem like a very large sample size. If anything, this study seems purposely built to gain hea

Tech Bootcamps don't work. Well, let me rephrase that... they may work now, but not for long. As an industry, we've been down this road. There are limitless dime-a-dozen bootcamps that will get you all kinds of certifications (remember when

I guess I was hoping for an outcome other than, "Well, we decided to go ahead and help him out, anyway. Luckily, he just kind of faded away on his own." Oh. Okay. That's good, I guess.

Eroding employee loyalty? You know what erodes employee loyalty? Make up some sort of retarded policy about when they can or can't wear headphones in the office.

The problem isn't that the FTC needs to be educated. As part of the ruling class, facts are irrelevant. It's just one part of the ruling class (the FTC) giving aid and comfort to another part (the newspaper moguls). They form and mold the f

I've applied for jobs that did ask you to code a solution to a problem. It was all online, and you could take as much time as you wanted... but they did give an expectation as to how long they thought it should take. I think this kind of ap

I agree with your point, and taxing internet to pay for newspapers would be horrible... but it is the kind of funding scheme I would expect from the U.S. Congress.
