The degree to which it influenced the election is questionable. Despite all the headlines, I haven't yet seen any convincing analysis of the impact of facebook on the election (I'm not sure how one would even go about doing so). S

While I tend to agree with the article, I would note that news media does not scale well. Your local community news website will likely have more pertinent information for you, personally, than the NYT, so it's a bit unfair to compare

I like this the idea of showing the most common use cases for a git command (or at the very least, a valuable use case), separating the sections by building out the flags and options. The git man pages, while thorough, don't provide an

I forked Popcorn Time when it came out, just because I was impressed with the app and I wanted to look over (and possibly modify) the code. I only forked in though, I didn't clone it locally. A week later when I had some free time to

I've begun to see immutability as a common theme in some of the most esteemed tech in production. Email, git, cryptocurrency, and stream processing (although I admit I don't know a lot about that one) just to name a few big ones.

The article mentions gated communities... that means there's an HOA right? Are these absentee landlords just ignoring the fines? Would there be any consequence of ignoring an HOA fine? I'm not a homeowner so my knowledge of HOAs a

Definitely an interesting read, if a bit pessimistic, nihilistic, and a bit Marxist (seize the means of production!). But ultimately the article offers no solutions and the author comes off to me as a doomsayer and luddite ( https:/&#x

The Pixel is by no means a bad phone, it's just been an exercise in disappointment the whole way. So I'm not actively planning to switch phones, I'm just lamenting that I don't get the same utility out of the Pixel tha

I bought a Pixel when it came out, switching from the Nexus 5 primarily because Project Fi was an easy, cheap way to get off my parent's cell-phone plan and gain some personal independence. It was about time for a new phone anyway. I w

I highly recommend the original Dark Souls from your description, if you haven't played it already. And in contrast to NMS's lonely, existential galaxy, Dark Souls's (subjective) plot tells a very human story.

I enjoyed this article, because it's just a concise, interesting observation of open-source incentives. There's no grandiose point or sweeping call to action, it just states an interesting observation.

$20,000 is about half of what my 4 year college education cost (although it's more expensive now, certainly). That seems incredibly expensive for a bootcamp. I'm obliged to ask what on earth that money is going towards, besides di

I agree. The article describes pretty interesting cultural problems, makes some interesting points, and then out of nowhere suggests radical political change as the solution. Still worth the read, especially in the context of tech industry,

Sounds like the startup was run by Russ Hanneman. It's eerie that the characters in Silicon Valley (the TV show) can be pointed to real life people so easily.

That's an interesting thought. I believe the EPA, FDA, OSHA, etc, are supposed to be the quality control science branches of the government. But instead of preventative maintenance, they just dole out fines after some violation.

I think the point of the story was that the police suspected him of carrying a lot of cash, and they were fishing for it, but didn't find enough to confiscate. Correct me if I'm wrong OP.
