   Are you saying you saw absentee landlords themselves experience a rent hike at the hands of foreign investors? That would indeed be a nice bit of schadenfreude…

   It's also difficult to explain the corollary: When work is life, your boss telling you that maybe it wasn’t a good “culture fit” anymore / after all is a little like dying. That’s melodramatic, but losing such a big part of your i

   I had to look DFTC up. From their job descriptions: > • We are down for the cause (“DFTC”). We’re all here to make Mixpanel a success. There is no job too big or too small for us. “That’s not my job” is not in our vocabulary.

   A very long-winded article with a clickbait title saying… nothing more than that they missed the mobile revolution.

    I just repeated your experiment: With my ad blocker disabled, I searched for "google chrome" on DDG. I got two ads above the search results; one was for google.com, and the second was for downloadsem.com, which is distributing a C

    Mods, can we make the title less click-baiting? Perhaps by appending “(Ascension Island)” to the end?

    Why assume that? Houston wasn’t one of the first 20 domestic or foreign markets for Uber: http://cl.ly/3g1Z081h1Q2G (link is an image originally from uber showing timeline of new markets opened)

    http://www.sfbarf.org ← The organization mentioned in the article. You can apparently sign up for ~4x/year email from them. Seems like a no-brainer for concerned locals.

    That is simply not a solution that will work for more than 0.1% of the populace. While you meant nothing wrong, your "solution" repulses me because I don’t care about this sort of thing just for myself and other supernerds, but fo

    I believe it has even created security issues. Didn’t Rails have at least one YAML-based vuln?

    YAML is more complex that most people tend to realize. (This was brought up in a 2011 discussion about possibly standardizing a metadata section for Markdown documents which sadly went nowhere. [1]) Take a look at example 2.11 in the YAML s

    Excellent example. While I have been hoping for "JSON plus comments" to be a real and common thing for quite a while now, one of the strengths of JSON is right there on json.org. See it? A set of five simple syntax diagrams that e

    When students from my own alma mater call and ask for contributions, I have on occasion related how I was a student when the 2008 financial crisis happened, and that my school’s response was to charge every student an extra $500 a semester

    1) "Heartbleed" was a great name, while by their own admission, "badlock" doesn’t mean anything in particular. 2) The Heartbleed page explained the bug; the Badlock page doesn’t seem to do so!
