   I thought this poor excuse for chocolate is only bought by drunken Brits at duty free stores to fool the cashier into thinking there's a child in the stroller so they can get an additional palette of Stella and carton of cigarettes...

   Few thing brings tears to my eyes more quickly than stories that start with a description of how tough it was to downsize to a Manhattan apartment that's only 900 sq ft. I can see literally see Jeff Bezos at the breakfast table, leafin

   The fact that the logo is ugly is not a problem in itself, honestly, who cares? The problem is that this makes it such a low hanging fruit; attracting a bunch of washed up hack designers looking to pad their resume with a logo, not realizin

   Such a sad state of affairs. This feels like a bunch of half-baked designers butting in, seeing a, well, eh, "old fashioned" logo, slapping together a blinky new-style logo and thinking that's all there is to it. Since a cons

   yes, Apple obviously hates GPL and wants it to die. But I'm confused what you're responding to. The claim was that GPL is unusable on OSX and that's obviously not the case. Whether Apple uses GPL is irrelevant to the matter a

   How so? If Apple chose to distribute GNU cat, they'd need to release any modifications to cat under the GPL but the license's vitality would not "infect" the rest of OSX. Plenty of GPL software is available on osx.

    This is such a weird example. Michelin the tire company is certainly not pronounced French in the US, either. (Not sure how, say, Poles or Indonesians pronounce it, but french pronunciation is notoriously unrelated to how it's written)

    What great news! The support for the sx1276 is awful. I was digging around your github, you're referring to Freakwan[1], right? [1] https://github.com/antirez/freakwan

    I believe part of the problem is that it's difficult to draw the line defining what an "additive" is. Any sort of spices, ferment, baking powder, food coloring (even traditional coloring like beet juice or squid ink) could be

    Not sure why this would make you sad. There are an arbitrary number of events in the universe that could warrant attention. There's no possible way we could create means to "fly" to all of them. Trying to create these means i
