I'm truly interested and curious. Can you explain to me why being on the internet where all your actions are being monitored by your ISP is OK, but Windows is bad? I mean, no matter how many precautions you take, someone is watching yo

We're talking about a small company here. Sometimes small companies don't have the resources to move forward with a 2nd product if the first one didn't pay off.

I know a few people who have invested in BTC and they cash out any profits that they get over $100/day. That way they are making a decent amount per transaction. So they take that cash and use it as they normally would. It's more

This has been happening at tech companies for decades. Not only are there models at the parties, but there's entertainment, food, drinks, etc. It's a good time, enjoy yourself and don't take it too seriously. This really isn&

I've been working in tech for the last 10 years. I've come to the point that I need to enjoy my life and not sit in an office 10 hours a day, coding for someone else's vision. So I started a brand ( https://lasttry

If it runs fine with its current OS and hardware, there's no need to upgrade. Keep your current OS, your current hardware and you're fine. It's not Microsofts duty to support very old hardware.

If you didn't need to upgrade, you wouldn't have. You got a gaming computer because you wanted to upgrade to faster hardware and a faster GPU chipset. The hardware isn't just a chipset, it's the fans, the drives, etc.

To be fair, free WP plugin code is available to the public so you can check it out and see if it's trust worthy or not.

We need to make things ridiculously simple for the users. A meter on an article showing them if its true or not will likely be ignored. I like this approach, big, bold and in your face. We need to call out all the fake, garbage news out the

I sit at an Apple desktop (macbook pro with 2 apple monitors) for most of my day so I can use my giant screen to design interfaces and I'm not cramped into a laptop's tiny 13 inch screen. The last office of about 5,000 devs and de

And in the early 1000s humans believed that we would never fly a few people strapped to a giant rocket to the moon. They believed that because the technology to do it hadn't been invented yet and we had no idea it was possible. We have

The fact that they have 4 acres of land is much more valuable to his kids than having to share that property with a bunch of other people in the city, in my opinion. There is room to expand, build, hike, bike, walk, climb a tree, breathe fr

He's very smart, and a good dude. I'm happy to have had the opportunity to have him in my world for the brief time that we were talking. I could only imagine the camping shenanigans he got into!
