   Yes, this is worth noting. Presidential candidate is essentially a binary choice, not on/off, but A or B; one or both candidates can deeply offend people in certain ways and yet still get their vote or support because of a certain issu

   At the risk of sounding clueless, how is it possible that Signal can’t say which account belongs to which phone number when the only concept of a username on Signal is that of a verified phone number? When I initiate a conversation, am I no

   Synchronized audio: https://youtu.be/maRTEzlSBLk?t=1m8s A quieter sound just before explosion is audible in this video, although I don't know that I would call it a “bang.”

   Yes, that sound is clearly audible in this better version with synchronized audio https://youtu.be/maRTEzlSBLk?t=1m8s

   Try this synchronized sound version, which shifted the entire audio stream. (The one you linked to appeared to only start sync'd audio at the exact explosion moment.) https://youtu.be/maRTEzlSBLk?t=1m8s You can hear a

   Once, at 2:30 AM in Arizona, I executed a legal right-on-red via a rolling stop. The streets were empty, and I endangered no one. This is not a contested fact. But an officer, unidentifiable in the dark some hundred feet behind me, cited me

    I was already aware of these tweets, but that doesn’t mean he wrote it all himself, just that he is involved in it. The fact is, the blog post has a byline and the byline does not mention Elon Musk or any individual person's name.

    Clickbait title (even before factoring in the low average quality of writing on Forbes). What's the surprise? Edit: Content without the aggressive anti-privacy software Forbes is running: http://peg.gd/9ki And the &quo

    Annoying you are being downvoted. You are entirely correct, and it is worthwhile to fight against the nonsensical notion that Elon === Tesla.

    No, because the 3rd-party shops are much, much cheaper than Apple's, and also more widely distributed. (Good luck finding an Apple store in or near a small town.)

    I've been waiting for light to be shed on this incident for a long time, as I have known for years and with zero doubt that invented email addresses used only for Dropbox must have been stolen from Dropbox. I have said so, publicly, to

    I think you're right. The source for the story, on arcgis.com, seems to have updated maps that don't show the odd circle, and Colorado displays with a bigger circle right on Denver. I think for some reason Denver was rendered at (

    The source for this story reports that 89% of software devs work outside the Valley. 89%. Apparently Qwartz didn't find that number punchy enough. But yeah, 11% of US software devs live in SV? That is remarkable, although not surprisin

    You're being downvoted for the unhelpful 'redneck startups?' comment, but I am actually curious what the cause of that large circle is! There is no city right there. (Although amusingly, not too far away are places named Mo

    1password keeps a history of edits, too. I don't know any way in which it's not a full history… hmm… maybe because they expose previous passwords, but if you change your username, they don't keep the old username unless it wa
