"I like my relationships like I like my source, open I like my coffee like I like my war, cold I like my boys like I like my sectors, bad" These are the funny jokes. Enthusiasm tempered.

So you're saying that this company, which is playing by the rules (in that they aren't breaking any laws with their hiring practices), ought to make a move away from the practices that made them a hundred-billion dollar company be

I agree that I would hate to be in a temporary employment-type position, but ultimately it's what the market will bear. Amazon doesn't spend money it doesn't feel like it has too, which unfortunately makes its priorities crys

hey, uh, did you read the article? The guy seemed to not be complaining so much about how him and the other staffers were being treated and more concerned with the fact that his team had really quick turn around and the people who he felt

I find at Amazon that the close you are to the core business, the better you get treated. The engineers seem to be very well compensated and get benefits and shit because they make the company what it is. I hate to break it to you, but the

Maybe I'm missing something crucial, but it seems like snapchat on a map without the ephemerality (which was, as I see it, one of the major draws of snapchat). Am I incorrect about this? Is there something I'm missing? Also maybe

I'll not front: that's a much uglier device than Glass, and Glass isn't exactly the height of fashion. Plus it lacks much of the functionality that Glass has. I believe a legitimate competitor to Glass will emerge at some poi

the thing about the other media transitions is that they weren't happening at this accelerated rate. Records had a good, long run before cassette tapes; which were around for quite a while before they were surpassed by CDs. I got my ph

It's also important to note that a lot of artists don't make money buy simply moving units. Honestly, selling 20,000 copies of a non-pop non-rap album is a pretty big deal. I disagree that this wouldn't be a good move for sma

Right, I get that. But the whole app ecosystem is very different than that. If you own a turntable, it'll play records. If you own a CD player, it'll play CDs. If you own a tape deck, it'll play tapes. If you own an iPod, it&

This seems as good a place as any to dump thoughts about "app-albums" in general. One thing that I always try to remember is that we're living in the future, and it's foolish to assume that things from the past will work

It's not lost on me that it's a lot more. Trust me; I've done math before. But really, once a dataset is sufficiently huge, it's just "big." Could it be bigger? Sure. But it'll still be big. Again, five mi

I don't care about if it's two hops or three; they're collecting a metric shit-tonne of info. It's like really large amounts of money: if a corporation makes a million dollars or five million dollars, it's all just

Oh man I want this to be the new norm so bad . The American health care system really needs to be shaken up. Republican dissent in Congress blocked that when Obama was championing it; perhaps the Republican's stated goal of a free mar

This story seems to heavily imply that the government authorised somebody to break into the firm and steal the data relating to the whistleblower's case. That strikes me as highly unlikely. This entire story seems like the ultimate i

I very much doubt that the United States government is afraid of me. Snowden is a real drama queen. I don't think that he deserves asylum either. I think he should come back to America, have a public trial with media coverage, and then

I do most of my current work in Python, and I have no problem switching between paradigms within the language. Whatever makes it easier to read is how I look at it. There are times when a functional solution makes the most sense, and if it

I disagree with the governement conspiracy thing, but the bitcoin protocol has been incredibly secure. This is pretty common knowledge. People can't "hack" into the bitcoin network and make themselves millionaires.

The fundamental flaw is not with bitcoin, but with people. At the beginning of march, I told all of my friends that Bitcoin was worth more than it was selling for, for many of the reasons listed in the post. It's essentially inflation proof

Rand Paul is an idiot. Of course the president doesn't have the authority to order drone strikes on american citizens on american soil. What a waste of time and energy. Anybody who supports what Paul did is at best ignorant of what the gove

Chaos is deterministic, but I'm always told that some quantum things are NOT deterministic, i.e. a single photon being exposed to two slits in a paper. My understanding is that the opening it goes through is random; how can that be reconcil
