I understood the "great garbage patch" is not an actual island, but more of a vast stew of what is essentially plastic plankton. Mostly invisible to the naked eye, certainly not solid, but probably more environmental toxic than a

Everyone shouting "lock her up" doesn't know exactly what they're "locking her up" for, except for something vaguely relate to emails and the fact they don't like her. Oh, also, they've already decide

As far as we can tell, she has not committed any crimes. Innocent until proven guilty, and all that.

You don't need to do something nefarious to regret the easy link, just offend the wrong person or group of people.

Could we just place a lens of some sort on pre existing led street lights to decrease the amount of blue light emitted?

We should build dedicated roads for these automated convoys.

They should have done a soft shutdown to alert developers. Half of the developers didn't even know about the upcoming change because Instagram emails just end up in junk.

If you consider aging and death in old age as a negative, perhaps you should reconsider your philosophy, instead of chasing immortality.

Tracking is weird. One hand it's gross and I don't like it. I think because who knows who is looking at what you're looking at. On the other hand, as a consumer I actually find the ads more valuable, and I sometimes buy items

But it's not your website. It's someone else's. Someone who created the content and pays to keep it online for you to consume.

Right, like revenge porn and Celebgate! Once someone has seen it online, everyone has the RIGHT to see it until the end of time.

Fixing our water shortage with energy consuming desalination plants will just continue the global warming negative feedback loop. Better would be to simply change what farmers are growing to conserve water. * Edit: Why the downvotes? Look,

1) What if I told you, you could base your entire business on another business' product, get shut down, and still come out ahead? Getting shut down isn't the worst thing to happen, it could even be the "exit strategy." R

This is easy. Sell the laptop to IBM. Put the money in an interest earning account. Return back to future and enjoy your money and all of the technological advances made by IBM reverse engineering the laptop.

You need to leave. I had a similar predicament before, and selling out was the best thing I could have done. Confide in your business partner, and discuss with them the most graceful way for you to exit. You're not doing anyone a servi

I'm ok with this list of books, but the whole "you should read this to learn X point of view" is obnoxious. How about I read it and derive my own point of view from the book!

My feelings towards Twitter have absolutely no bearing on their contract with PeopleBrowsr. Of this I'm aware. They might want to consider PR though. But, to be honest, I think they have considered it, and their position is "we don't care w

by abootstrapper 14y ago
Meh. The schoolyard bully isn't getting my sympathy. PeopleBrowsr is doing little more than squirming in Twitter's grasp. It's not like there's some great injustice about their legal case. It's more like a last ditch attempt at trying to pr

If Twitter hadn't been acting like a jerk to their developer community for the last 2 years, I would completely side with Twitter on this. However, given Twitter's recent behavior of backpedalling on expectations they set for developing on

Another way to say this could be, "The site does not render well..." That would take the edge off your criticism, and be a more polite way to help your fellow hacker.

Don't get me wrong. My business makes decent money. At least as much as I'd make if I had a fulltime job instead. I'm just not sure that's enough success to qualify me as an educator and model on how to do business well. Hell, most of it bo

I don't mean to pick on OP, but I'm always a little surprised at how some authors can make money, by writing about how to make money. When in fact, the way they made money was selling books about it, not necessarily by the advice found in t
