   This is very much true, and has been since the 80's. Source? Me. I'm still here, but 95% of the people I met when I moved here in '85 have moved back home.

   I'm seeing a lot of people who may not have agreed with Ed Lee politics, but still have good things to say about the man. That gives me a little hope that we don't have to accept the "politics as warfare"attitude that se

   I dropped Comcast for a provider that doesn't do this, but given Comcast is a monopoly in many areas, I know this isn't a good option for everyone. But frankly, the only leverage we have over these people is how we spend our money

   There's lots of talk here about the changing shopping habits of Americans, but I think we're glossing over the debt issues. These companies seem to be burdened with too much debt, which is reflective of how big business manages it

   This "museum" (if the word "museum" meant "advertising ploy") is to culture what the Kardashians are to culture. Shallow and disposable.

   My place of work used a Java applet for time-card management and just upgraded us to... a flash application. I had to set-up a VM just to manage my timecard because I refuse to install Flash. And this is a major payroll service.

   This is somewhat subjective and misses the point that hardware isn't the only determining factor. If I was on the fence about which platform I wanted, the one with better privacy and a more secure app store is appealing.

   As another web developer, I would say that browser support is driven by what browsers people use that actually visit your site, and is decoupled from the what the developer wants/chooses. I have several sites that get 100k+ visits a mo

    But no actual impact to Blue Apron, other then a 500lb gorilla wanting your lunch?

    To my knowledge, Geek Squad had a shaky reputation to start with, I can't imagine this is going to help.

    My understanding is that consoles like this are really unique animals, each one having its own sound. Dave Grohl did a documentary called "Sound City" about his efforts to maintain a legendary console from another studio: https:&

    I lived in San Francisco's Western Addition in the late 80's, and the old man who lived in the modest Victorian across the street from me passed away. The estate settled and the house cleaners showed up. Two huge bins of hoarder n

    Thanks buddy! 50+ here and optimistic I can remained gainfully employed, but nervous about it. It's been my experience as well that the kind of companies you might see parodied on "Silicon Valley" have a more pronounced age b

    I don't know what happens on Medium, but I take a dim view of download sites that wrap malware around popular open-source programs, a popular hacking technique that targets the less technically sophisticated. And when I see something,

    I just had this conversation with the director of IT yesterday. Given the rise of ransomware and malvertising, I think its absolutely time we consider ad blockers as important as anti-virus software. I realize how damaging this can/wil

    That's presuming they can have command line access and the tools/know how to install drush. I suspect a lot of WP installs start with a single click button on a graphic UI.

    I'll be curious to see if this has any impact on phone pricing. Without the subsidy, I doubt as many people will upgrade as often, which will slow phone sales.
