But then they wouldn't be getting all this attention...

I don't know that there is a "case" against them. My guess is that there are a bunch of mis-assumptions against them by proxy. I'm guessing but I think a chunk of people might think or suggest that the college prep ed

I'm 15 years removed from the TV biz, but I vaguely remember 'birds' costing like $350m to launch, something like $200m + for the hardware, then $150m for launch fees and misc pre-launch insurances. In some cases, I want

I'm oddly glad that it's not just my neighborhood. Honestly, I liked living here a lot more before nextdoor. It's amazing how easy it is for people to say things to lower your opinion of them so dramatically. Nextdoor shou

There are also very useful instructions that don't have semantics for most programming languages and have little or no use outside of booting a system. Like LGDT and some of the tricks to switch from real mode to protected mode. What&

Communities have some commonality, something shared, something that unites them and then because of that encourages some decency standards. People that live in the same space, people that have the same hobbies, people that work in softwa

I believe they will sell you a system outright and they had a long term financing option called "MyPower" but I think that's been stopped. They sold bonds to cover those loans. The lease is probably the most popular. Until

I make no such assumption, I'm just pointing out that it's the current framework that we have and that with it content creators are given actual rights and among those rights is the right to significant control over distribution a

Sure, it's all virtual, you're not actually 'stealing' their money since you weren't actually going to pay for it anyways, but if we're pedantic about it you are depriving them their rights. As the owner, they

Chicken and egg. It costs more than you think, for probably fewer geeks than you think. ARM seems really well positioned, if there has ever been something to square off with Intel, it's ARM, you can get cheap SoCs and play with them.

Is there a specific implementation that people are worried about or the EE specification? Was there ever a time people were happy with the J2EE/EE process? It moves slowly, the opensource and smaller implementations do lots of cool st

Well you can have another, can't you? Or is leaving the EU a one-way thing? I'm sort of jealous. They had a referendum on Scottish independence and they honored the outcome. I'd love to have an up/down national vote

Weren't maintenance laws ended for a reason? In England I thought it had more to do with the differences in class, commoners could sue lords but without another lord on their side they were pretty disadvantaged. So other lords cou

Do the customers know what Rails is enough to like or dislike it? Or do they like the promises of quick functionality which you translate in to lower costs? If I may also ask, have you run in to an older rails app when someone wanted some

I grew up out west, had family and such out there. That was a big reason. The weather has been mentioned by others. They have relatively rough winters. Fairly hot and humid summers. Spring and autumn are pretty awesome though, unfortuna

It's unfortunate that we've become so jaded but I thought the same thing. That was too specific a statement. CIA officer's won't do the torture, it will be Saudis, Israelis, British, etc.. Or American's that are

The whole war on terror and this bulk collection is predicated on stopping crimes before they happen. It's a giant catch 22. Would stopping mass shootings and not-called-terorrism-but-domestic-terror be part of the use cases here? L

There is next to no money in pro cycling. Sure there are a few very very elite riders that make millions, maybe 10 to 20 of those. There are also the other 160 riders that start a grand tour. Read some of the documentation USADA put ou

I was on vacation when a trip to Beijing was planned for me. The secretary, for reasons I don't expect I'll ever know or understand, insisted on flying Eastern China Airlines. Complete with an extra stop in Shanghai... It might

The genius of it all is there is no 'hate' or 'dislike' button. It only allows 'positive' or no results. I suspect facebook and company will come up with a solution to the problem of how do you indicate that y

There never was a serious public discourse. Why would giving everyone access to easy ways to contribute simply make that happen? I don't know the reason why, it could be simple as most people aren't that smart, but the truth is

There is another axis that would be pretty interesting. I suspect that these "national security" types get a sizable and relatively automatic boost in pay for a PhD and it's likely not correlated to any performance or value.

Here is one: Since Amazon is basically Walmart without brick and mortar and they make some compelling money from their AWS, why wouldn't Walmart be interested in getting in to that business?

Do content providers have to pay certain royalties with h.264? I thought the players were free of royalties and the license was paid for encoded content. And then with h.265 I thought I heard that there were two different license pools wi
