I knew to take the entire article with a grain of salt with the first sentence: "Sometimes it seems life can’t get any worse in this country." Yes, there are astonishingly brash, illegal actions being taken by police departments

If Americans allow assange to be hounded without end, it’s extremely dangerous for journalists everywhere in the future. I'll take that one further: it's extremely dangerous for anyone in the future. This whole saga has been a

Did you reach Friday without having a good reason to dislike Facebook this week? Well, here you are. I'm not crazy about unions. I'm not convinced that software developers need one, despite regular revivals of the notion. But I

It signals he has determined that after this point in time, staying onboard becomes less profitable. The "for my country" part is just dramatic posturing.

Post something conservative on /r/politics, and see where that gets you.

Maybe some day they'll actually reach orbit, instead of just the edge of space.

If there's a viable Mars colony care of SpaceX in 20 years, I'll happily call for their breakup and sing their praises at the same time.

I wonder if we might see something like this operate on Mars one day, to haul cargo from landing areas to inhabited areas (or mining operations). These were apparently doomed by heavy-lift helicopters, which likely won't be an option

I saw him live on that tour as well. Like the NYT article's author, before the show I wondered if I would be leaving the venue regretting the decision. I did not. He and his band absolutely killed it. They're incredibly talente

More specifically: every state has 2 US Senators, whereas Representatives in the US House of Representatives are allocated to states based upon population.

I feel as if the US government really didn't have much of a plan, and we're still getting punched in the face.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. Firefox and DuckDuckGo, folks. Today's Google is no more benevolent than yesterday's Microsoft.

The most amazing thing is that after all of this hullabaloo... a good number of these frustrated players will still purchase a Battlefield 6 game.

That was my take as well. I really liked it as a period piece, but after S1 it seemed like the showrunners kept some characters merely because they liked the actors . Michael Shannon was wasted in later seasons, IMO.

You had me up until Twitter. Twitter is the nonstop first date where everybody is working hard to look like somebody who is "in the know" and has their life together. Yes, there are "real people" there but they are few

How can one compare In-N-Out Burger to Google? One facilitates a surveillance state, and the other makes burgers?

From this thread the only conclusion I can draw is that Twitter is in the bottom five . Which is bad enough.

And unfortunately it seems like the question that many people are willing to give Apple a pass for.

Because that requires a level of courage beyond removing a headphone jack.

Seriously though, wasn't Hong Kong doomed in December 1984 when the British government signed the handover agreement with the CCP?

I don't know if Carmack has a good chance at achieving this goal, but I certainly wish him the best. There are certainly far worse applications of a sharp mind like his, and if this is where his passion has taken him then I'm sure

Color me cynical, but the surveillance is really just for the post-mortem and to justify additional future spending on surveillance.

As you've said: done right. Done poorly, or even in a mediocre fashion, and we've got more half-baked features and insufficiently-tested changes. Now, which scenario is more likely?

This is the key. Laziness without those counterbalancing traits is simply sloth . With those traits, you're more likely to hire somebody who wants to work smarter, not harder. Likewise, without laziness, curiosity and creativity you&#

That was my takeaway as well, based more on the twice-fired history than the high school performance. Some people just don't apply themselves. Some just have bad luck. Some have a combination of the two. It's unfair to Orry Car

Color me cynical, but 20-25 years ago companies were touting what the "future of healthcare" looked like. They, and the people they were marketing to, would have been appalled if at the time they could have seen at what it became.
