The web has become easier and easier to publish on for decades now. The low barrier to entry plug unscrupulous people makes the web worse, not a site designed to help try to find things. You have millions of people actively working to artif

No, it's just that Apple has a history of cutting off companies permanently. Once they decide not to do business with you, you're done and they'll do what they have to in order to avoid using you. In this case, I wager they&#

Apple could always pay to use the patented IP. I could barely type that with a straight face. They'll never do that after being sued.

That's one argument, another is they're filler to make people think paying huge sums is reasonable for what they get. If these classes were teste for and only given to those who need it, I could believe it was for student enrichme

Cars the size of a Chevy Impala were never categorized as compact. The Gremlin is almost 3 feet shorter than an Impala.

The problem with this argument is the low hanging fruit. EXIT is pretty unambiguous. I HATE that some tools the help argument is -? and others use --? when everyone COULD just print help on both is maddening, especially when you use the &qu

The Impala was never compact. Compact cars are smaller, like hatchbacks and such, the Civic, the Escort, etc.

While you may prefer that, I wager you wouldn't turn down additional paid holidays as well.

Gmail will mark my outgoing mail as spam if I include a simple link to my personal website. I literally can't email people links to my site if I want to email them from my GMail account. It's insane.

They're still fiat because we agree on the idea that the gold itself is valuable. I cannot eat gold, plant it, power my home with it, or marry it. A gallon of water will keep me alive longer than an ounce of gold. I understand that in

Gold and silver back currencies are also fiat, because we value the gold and silver, not because gold will feed your kids or grow your crops.

In one sense, but scarcity does not equate value. Many things can be currency, but those with no inherent value, regardless of scarcity, when used as currency are fiat currency, literally valued only because we say so. Paper is a commodity,

As someone who is VP of IT in healthcare, I can understand that sentiment. At least fewer people need access to nuclear secrets, while medical records are simultaneously highly confidential AND needed by many people. It's never dull. :

Yes, this is the exact thing they did to Stacker years ago. License the tech, get the source, create a new product, destroy Stacker, pay out a pittance and then buy the corpse. I was always amazed they couldn't pull that off with Citri
