I remember a scene from the book where he recalls bright lights in the distance? I thought it was a subtle hint that it was nuclear war, but its been awhile. That was my initial interpretation at least.

Thanks for the write-up. Marketing seems really hard in many of the entertainment-oriented businesses out there. Weak ties and word of mouth are still the dominate way to sell things effectively, but they remain very hard to strategize arou

This comment started off well and went off the rails pretty quickly. My main point is that whoever wins regardless of your party affiliation, there's a real person in charge and we aren't subject to the will of the majority.

The best argument I heard for her was that she was the most uniquely qualified for the job. She had experience at both the congressional and executive levels, plus she was the first lady for 8 years to boot. That was the argument my girlfri

To me, this is the advantage of a Republic (which is what the US federal gov't really is). It can have some of the same issues of the tyranny of the majority, but ultimately you have a human being in charge who needs to listen to what

That's one piece of the puzzle though. I wouldn't say he won only on that platform. He also won on platforms of change, law and order, and a return to old school America. I personally thought it was a disgusting campaign that used

So this technology is useless because years of wear and tear will make you need to replace the roof eventually? Isn't that pretty normal for any house?

Ha, this is like "walked 5 miles in the snow uphill to school" territory. I personally don't like the idea of losing some keys, keys are nice, my fingers can feel where they are at all times. But that said my fingers also kno

Not sure what the sick feeling they had was, but any diet for me usually takes my system a little getting used to, especially if the food makes you more regular. You and your gut aren't used to all the fiber and it will not feel good a

Though I'd argue the healthier alternative would be to take a break and go walk to a nice restaurant somewhere, but alas I also fall into situations where you just need to keep on task.

I get why it seems distasteful, but I personally thought it was pretty clever. This site thrives on good, real world examples in the home page, so it would make sense to incentivize people to agree to let the site use their examples. If it

Everyone should listen to Dan Carlin's amazing Hardcore History series on Genghis Khan: http://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-43-wrath-o... He makes a case for not just Kahn and his descendants being a

Would you have agreed if it were a discount instead of an added charge? i.e. Yes is -$3?

Oh, I thought they were sarcastically putting that in at first, like "you can't put your problem into the size of a tweet". But reading on I see they are serious. Hmm.

Is code art? Well certainly I've seen some good-looking, clever code before, but do my class names inspire the next engineer to change their lives? Probably not. I think that's where these discussions really fall apart. Sure algor

I haven't ever worked in a 20-something only culture. I was the young guy when I joined my company, most of the team was in their 30s, some in their 40s. Over time it helped me grow as an individual, and it also helped me to grow profe

Funny you should say that, I just subscribed to the Times a little over a month ago, the digital version that is. Its the first newspaper I've subscribed to in over 4 years. I like their articles and generally find myself actually read

Something that bothers me about these drone cameras is that when people are using them in remote spots (i.e. the top of a hill or a lake at the base of a mountain in a national park) they generate a TON of noise. I went backpacking at Jeffe

Yea the one that comes to mind for me would be the card swiper by Square and other companies. That thing is amazing for small businesses, especially mobile food carts. I'm starting to see many are moving over to the card reader however

I liked the original thesis of this article, which sounded like it was going to talk about why we would never have another Rock'n'Roll genre, but instead the article spent a lot of time talking about why Rock was never great to be

I came here to say the same thing, since flat structure companies have always fascinated me and I generally still feel like it would be a good experience to work for one, I wanted to know what exactly led them to this decision. Instead only

SO can be great for general problems, but in all truth you can usually find the answers you're looking for with those on "learn to program" sites or even the documentation (especially in regard to Python). I think where SO sh
