Fair enough, it is something I wouldn't risk it either.

Most people use Amazon mostly for the convenience of not having to go to a physical store. Usually the time saved is more valuable to me that any price saving I might get from going to a physical store. It happened a few times (1 in 10?) th

If by "business" you mean buying a coffee in exchange of several hours of free internet, electricity and real estate, then it is sort of understandable why many places don't encourage this kind of "business". Some p

It not a painting, it's a photo. And it's a GREAT photo, it tells a story, it tells of another time and another place, of a behavior that today it would be considered unacceptable, but probably at the time was considered normal.

I wonder how "Papers, please" would have been received.

Agreed. I find way too easy to be cynical and use the old tired arguments like "with all the money he makes these are just breadcrumbs" or "it is really just for tax purposes/PR stunt". This money will be used to he

If it helps securing a job that you think it will improve your life an career, I would argue that it is time well spent. Unfortunately, the fact that it is generally considered a flawed process by the community, doesn't mean the this k

"Traffic of news sites depends heavily on Google." It seems counterintuitive to me, at least for my use case. I rarely search for "news", I have a handful of websites to which I usually go to for them. I might search the

You are still selling an inferior product, claiming that is something it is not. In Italy or Spain, you can find "non extra-virgin" olive oil sold as well, although at a lower price.

I admit my experience is limited, but there are few things that should immediately identify some code as assembly to someone with previous experience, regardless of the platform, such as the prevalence of the "mov" command, a &quo

"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." I'm sure Boole approved of that. Fascinating how these two contemporaries achieved immortal fame through completely different

Amusing that childish fanboyism normally reserved for things like Mac vs. Windows, AMD vs. Intel, PS4 vs Xbox, etc... has now spread to the car industry.

To put the title into context: "Do you still feel like Silicon Valley has retained that idealism that struck you when you arrived here?" "There’s still that optimism. But the optimism is tempered by a sense of deliberation. T

I'm almost not able to parse it at all. An article or even a blog post usually aims to prove a point, and it is structured to introduce the issue, make the author's point and give some conclusions. In this case the effort is all o

Italy (where nuclear power was banned by referendum many years ago) is not able to meet its internal demand, and need to source energy from neighboring countries (including France), not really surprising. https://en.wikipedia.org

As much as I agree that the process is bullshit, it is no different than studying for an exam, something we took for granted during school, just as a mean to an end (a degree), except that in this case there is arguably a much higher ratio

Then it's equally fair on part of your employer, which is interviewing for a software dev position, to consider as relevant experience only those where you actually did software development...

Why? Stock price plummeted after the results, and I doubt market analysts were influenced by that specific article. The market clearly agrees on the assessment that the sales are "stagnant", negative connotation included. Which is

by Kurtz79 8y ago
If previous sales were about the same numbers, it's a perfectly fair way. Impressive, amazing numbers maybe, but still stagnant, if they didn't improve over the last ones.

Not OP, but with the same feeling. It is simply the best media consumption device I have ever owned. I bought an iPad 4 at the time (I later upgraded it to an Air and then a Pro) and left it almost untouched for months, then I started using

The game was largely overfunded, and yet they had to rely on splitting the game in two acts and rely on the sales from the first to fund additional development. I agree that among the titles I mentioned is the less disastrous, but is still
