Whether or not it's a pain for businesses to comply has nothing to do with the reason these types of laws are implemented. Regulation is a pain, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't have it. Protecting personal data is the

I've only heard of it being used for internal tooling. I wouldn't be surprised if it was still kicking in some industries though.

That would not be either law enforcement or another third party though, if MIT requested it point back to them.

While it seems interesting at first glance, it would be weird to be paying for a product that does "less" than alternatives. The added value of strictly enforcing this policy is also something that people can learn to do innately.

Huge amounts of uninterrupted time of course gives us the ability to deep-dive into certain subjects, but there's obviously the necessity of asynchronous communication that doesn't move at postal speeds. Having said that though, f

I like this. Work doesn't have to be an end itself.

That's not necessarily the case, especially with asynchronous actions (speaking for Python, at least). One execution can crash and burn unexpectedly, but the entire runtime doesn't go down.

For the privacy, quality, and features it offers at the reasonable price of $50/year, I would say that it's a fantastic alternative. It'd be hard-pressed to find anything free that is on par.

What the poster means is that a compiler may not be as applicable to interpreted languages.

To me it just feels as though the "get rich or die trying" mentality is something more alluring to people, whereas success stories from slow, steady growth makes more sense but is less hyped.

Would the people who go to casinos find alternative, perhaps more dangerous means to gamble if they didn't exist?

For something like this though, your Ferrari owner would probably not mind paying to give it a repainting every few years.

Good question, I feel like there's a lot of prestige attached to that, too. Anecdotally, I've seen groups of "school tourists" from Japan come to my decently large local university, and people were surprised when they le

When you do something with the pot in a way it wasn't meant to be used, I guess all bets are off.

If a project looks popular, you can at least assume it isn't total rubbish though.

Ordinarily, people might find seeing the repository straight-up too jarring. For people who aren't in the IT world, I'm not sure that seeing Github will be some definitive proof that an extension is legit.

The atmosphere adds a lot extra value. There's obviously cheaper food options available that are as convenient available to them too. As for addictiveness, I'd say this is where fast food shines unfortunately. That's really o

Honestly, the cleanliness and the "elegant" appearance of fast food restaurants are factors that add a lot to the allure. I noticed this in China where even places like Starbucks can really stand out in comparison to the other ven

In the long run, countries which have fast tech adoption and strong logistic infrastructure will probably be the ones that will advance the field the fastest. It's exciting technology, but I so far don't see a lot of people using

It's crazy how accurate this article was. How far along were mobile phones during 1992? Also, > Once in the meeting, the executive could take notes on the device, and even order pizza for the group using a combination of custom elec

The total amount of verbosity honestly felt like the author was trying to superficially pad the article... It's an interesting topic, but I couldn't bear to read it any more. I had to check the comments to see if anyone else was p

I noticed that too. If they released breach information before trying to patch it up, that would have been a horrible play.

Okay, I'll give it to you that your idea would be really damn interesting. Still, there would have to be some semblance of moderation, and as to who that responsibility will be placed on is a hard question.

On the topic of snail mail, it really has become more meaningful to send and receive mail when instantaneous communication is so readily available. Even more so when nowadays the only mail I receive is either bills or spam. Plus, there&#x27

The thing about federated comment feeds is that these news outlets will not be incentivized to embed them directly to their website, as they lose control of the content. This problem will damage the exposure that a federated system would re

Sorry, I meant it in a future tense. I don't mean that Facebook is deliberately infringing on patents now.
