I think it's the same for any crime, I could have left it at breaking and entering. Generally murder is bad, breaking and entering is bad, torture is bad. I don't want the police to be able to torture my family. If you're goi

It has the same battery life as the iPad you don't need to charge it constantly. Long term things you plug into that port will also tend to charge it.

It's not advertising that's the problem as many in the comments seem to think; it's the shitty type of ads these 90s websites were all built around. The recent Marissa Mayer piece in Medium [1] made much of the fact that her

Why is it every time I see an article critical of Google it has invariably been vote flagged down?

Is profundity something we should need a doctorate to have access to? Should Murakami be larding up his books with Turkish puns to alienate the plebian readers?

rdtsc's point above is taken but this guy's idea in particular is really bonkers. He tries to pass off the idea that you can avoid radar by flying along borders with nothing more than the word of an anonymous military navigator. M

I think this angle might be overstated. Are heirloom purchases really what drives the $60 billion luxury watch industry? Or it it people like my boss and his boss -- "watch guys" who buy at least one high end watch a year? Or the

The point is you aren't most people and most people simply don't give a rip about mechanical watches. Just like most people didn't use blackberries in 2007 even though that was the most popular high end phone. The people that

What is the alternate explanation of the points / time / rank then? And the upthread point about this being a Google employee seem to miss the actual content which is highly critical of Google. And there's absolutely a histor

My solution to this was to use both. I use Chrome only for Gmail and Docs (drive, whatever...) and disabled the auto-updater. I use Firefox with DDG for everything else. Couldn't be happier.
