Are we being unfair by only pointing to how FB had a negative impact on the US election? Unlike the other platforms, Facebook and Twitter are the only ones that also manage the content that the end-user sees. This would be fine if it was

Are you talking about the arab spring? I thought it was generally agreed that the new regime is way worse/more oppresive than the displaced one ever was? Social media helped facilitate the uprising, but isn't responsible for wha

Two, maybe three, decades too late for aluminum. I don't think there is a single aluminum plant left in the Pacific NW when we used to have a fair number of them with Reynolds and Kaiser. Those plants aren't just going to come b

If you aren't going to move it then that probably is a much cheaper option, but moving a pontoon boat with either a trailer or disassembling it will take a lot more work than letting the air out of this floating tent.

I don't think still photos are the problem, it's when people take photos or videos of something and miss a moment. An example is at a football game where the a team is imminently going to score. Up come the phones. Especially if

As the husband of a type-1 wife, I just wanted to add that there is a difference in insulin that isn't just long-acting or short-acting. Different people can react differently to different insulins. My wife used the ReliOn brand for

Did you just change it? I personally liked the look with the transparent black with white text. Didn't look all that bad to me.

Yeah, "highly likely" is all fun and games until a college like George Mason comes in a destroys every single bracket.

Maybe. You need to understand that diabetes equipment is a lot like a Segway - it's interesting and solves a problem but it's expensive and somewhat infeasible. Many things could contribute to this not being as revolutionary as i

I'm not sure whether you or my wife need a new eye doctor. Hers knows she is diabetic and is doing extra screening watching for any possible damage from the disease but has never said anything about her contact lenses being a problem.

It doesn't matter to Amazon one bit. Amazon is probably going to open stores in various locations anyways which would make them have to collect taxes in those states. The difference is that now sites like Newegg, which are completely

Well, getting a yard in the NFL isn't typically a big problem and 3rd and 1 vs 4th and 1 are feasibly no different. But turning the ball over inside 30 yards is at least 3 points for the other team with only rare exceptions.

by Zimahl 13y ago
Why would you ever go for it on 4th and 1 inside your own 10 yard line? You would put yourself at a severe disadvantage if you failed. Since the data from this is from previous plays in the last 10 or so seasons it is flawed. There probab

Finally, the Bothans who sacrificed their lives to retrieve the plans for the Death Star. Oops, bad example! Remember, the Death Star was fully operational and the assault was a trap. Those Bothans died bringing false information.

First, comparing Penny Arcade to Reddit is laughable. Second, Penny Arcade doesn't even host their own forums[1]. [1] http://vanillaforums.com/

You immediately say 'no' but then admit that it was a state disability payment. So was it Federal SSI or some state program? From what I can tell here are the only states with those programs: California, New York, New Jersey, Rh

The scope of their audience is somewhat irrelevant. I'm not criticizing their comic here - other than a somewhat simple blog(ish) design, they just need to handle a lot of users to their semi-static site which is a solved problem. Ma

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. Either way, I would think that having Penny Arcade on a resume would be an interesting story but other than that I can't imagine their infrastructure being anything that would help a caree

If you think Social Security is a safety net, think again. Unless you are completely disabled you aren't going to see a dime from SSI. Anything that is 'short term' you are out of luck. Even cancer is considered 'shor

The main concern in the US is it needs to be a licensed vehicle and it needs brake and turn lights, that's about it. I'm not sure how this would be classified but you might need seat belts too.

I believe it's a 'miss' for the manager if they can't do the performance reviews the right way. I worked with two folks that had previously worked at Intel. The same procedure was implemented there. There was a top 10%

I will say that when I was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s and collecting baseball cards, I did it for a couple reasons. One was that they were going to be worth something later, but that was near the bottom of the reasons. The major
