There is no requirement to use some kind of cloud storage. You can use the programs like you always have. Most designers sync with tools like Dropbox anyway, so large uploads aren't uncommon already.

That's a bit of a misnomer: diets like Keto don't "allow" set amounts of carbs, they require you to find your own carb limit to stay in ketosis. If you constantly blow out of ketosis, you'll literally accomplish nothing with the diet. Hence

I meant destruction to be synonymous with consuming, such as "Wow, I just destroyed that burger" ;)

On the contrary to your contrary: the kind of person who builds their PC is the kind who customizes how it works when they're using it . There's no automatic assumption that they also harbor green feelings and want lower power consumption

We can crap on the Bay Area all day long, but then the question becomes: why isn't Silicon Valley in Sweden?

Honestly, if you refuse to do something on ethical grounds and then are moved around, you know what's going on. Most people aren't clueless to office politics and at that point it's your decision to blow the whistle or shut up and watch it

Publicity. He writes a blog "Path fired me for not breaking the oath" and then communities like this one will rally around that whistle-blower.

Because the headline is written according to the expected understanding of the American reader. "Ivory Coast" is about as descriptive to an American audience as "Africa". I would be shocked if more than a tiny minority of Americans could te

There are no new developments, just more news outlets using (subjectively) bad interpretations of existing ideas/data. Look at a site like http://www.memeorandum.com -- for any one news story, a dozen news outlets report on it (discussion

How many times is this going to be reposted to HackerNews? How many times are we going to bring up the same issues with this interpretation? Like, for example: the assumption that every STEM graduate wants to work in STEM fields, and that t

I'm three years clean of EA-crap. There's so many wonderful games out there made by simply far better companies. Sim City was going to be my shameful end to my boycott, but unfortunately EA/Maxis made the decision to avoid my most beloved f

I do not consider a lot of Apple or Samsung goods to be of high quality. Especially the small cheap goods like smartphones -- I've owned phones from both now and both are disappointing in terms of long term reliability. The Samsung especial

I'm sorry but I think you're totally off base. And I do think a lot of Chinese goods are crap. What's the pinnacle of Chinese goods? Smartphones and gaming consoles? Two categories of goods known for their much-higher-than-average failure r

Refugee's are a separate category altogether -- did you go through the refugee process? This law: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korean_Human_Rights_Act_o... offers details on how the US treats North Korean refugee's and should provid

Acting quickly on news is a risk that they hope will pay a reward, but there is no guarantee that the news is correct and thus the risky position will be rewarded. If you wait for verified, accurate news, then anyone who moved before got

I reject the idea that optimization leads to burnout. If you're consciously thinking about ALL of those variables at once, yes, you will achieve burnout. But the entire point of life optimization isn't to sit around thinking about all of th

I have a Note II running 4.1.1 and I experience the OP's "deluge of texts/notifications hours after the fact" issue. It's very frustrating to get pinged with 10+ notifications at once that came in over the past hours. To be fair, it's wifi

I'd love to be able to say #politics when I post to Facebook so that my friends who aren't interested in politics can "hide" the politics category. But, I'm just dreaming now.

>So i'll say it again. You, the user, is ultimately responsible for what comes up in your stream. I think this is a very outdated and anti-user way to approach the Facebook service, and I hope your idea of how these services work will

They technically are two separate products. Chat Heads is a Facebook Messenger feature while Facebook Home is a separate app. I currently have Chat Heads installed w/o any Facebook Home integration, as does everyone else I know using Chat H

Errr, no, Reader would be like the Facebook App. A dedicated app to do something... I mean, if someone created a full lockscreen/homescreen replacement around the idea of my feeds and my content with the same polish and quality that Faceboo

I tried it out but I found it too suffocating -- Facebook, like Google, wants their "feed" to be your main IV-line of info-tainment but in practice the vapid updates of friends mixed in with poorly constructed advertisements isn't very enga

It'll be your choice, then, to patron bars that enforce policies that you support. Just like I choose bars that don't allow smoking.

I don't think it's appropriate to use the DDoS acronym when not referring to an "attack". It's non-standard and will only create confusion. Every "source" online describing a DDoS uses it explicitly to refer to an attack.

The veto threat is more than just a simple threat to veto, it's a tactic to make the executive opinion obvious and to try and influence lawmakers to change a bill before delivering it. They obviously don't have to listen.

I think you're wrong. It's unrealistic for the President to have a strong opinion personally on every bill and item going through Congress. He has a policy team that stays on top of all of it, and he is briefed as necessary. He may have mad

It sounds like they've developed a prototype, which is further than a design but also not a production model.

You may be confusing high fashion models, a subset of the modelling industry, with modelling in general. Not every model is a skeleton wearing over-stylized clothes on a runway. In fact, this might blow your mind: the majority of models a
