I would have hoped (but have no idea) that PHP simply uses libc's strstr in their implementation of strstr. If this is the case, then this would need to be included in the relevant libc for the platform you're using PHP on. I was

I enjoyed a brief experience with FreeNAS but ended up wishing I had a full FreeBSD system -- it's easy to miss things like ports and the like. I was able to upgrade in-place to FreeBSD 9-STABLE however, which was a great experience. I

My criticism is of the idea of a "no politics" (overt or otherwise) policy, not you for pointing it out. Said policy on a news site backed by entities with serious capital who work to change the world is troubling. Sorry for the c

I find your closed mindedness disturbing. I have tons more sympathy towards people struggling against gentrification, however they believe is appropriate, than overprivileged silicon valley employees who believe the world is anything approa

Pretending that one can live in a world that isn't deeply political requires a massive amount of privilege, ignorance, or both. Discussing those who are left out or even harmed by the economic and technologic trends that our industry c

Democracies can be characterized by "one person, one vote" whereas at best markets are "one dollar, one vote." The public does not share equal responsibility for decisions of markets. Not by a long shot.

I completely disagree that leaders of a protest movement should say that violence is an unacceptable tool in their movement. For one, there is no consensus around what constitutes "violence" -- some people consider shouting to be

I don't think people deserve to be displaced from their homes in massive numbers. I don't think today's action will magically end the displacement, but I think people should have some compassion and show several orders of mag

How did I attempt to rob Gates of his accomplishment? I'm not ascribing any value judgment to not being self-made. I think those who think he is self-made clearly have a different definition of the term. From http://en.wik

Completely reasonable. I think wealth is almost always created by communities and not individuals, so I'm skeptical of the idea of anyone being purely "self made." I am willing to concede there is a common definition of the t

By what definition is Bill Gates "self made?" He had a million-dollar trust fund going into life, which let him take risks and exploit opportunities that others could not have. http://philip.greenspun.com/bg/

Something has to be obscured for it to be "uncovered" -- the unfairness and disparities in the justice system is common knowledge to anyone who has had to live it (and that's a lot of us), to anyone who has bothered to ask so

Except that the overwhelming majority of the violence of apartheid was against Black people. You have to completely ignore context to think that there's a reasonable comparison between an oppressed people - a people that suffered both

"While it is easy to sit back and judge the past we have to realize that some actions were seen as prudent at the time." Not by black people.

I actually think apartheid is a good example of why the moral thing to do sometimes is to harm others and/or destroy property. It's not hard to argue at all. Preventing the suffering of the many by harming a relatively small numb

That doesn't seem like a difficult problem to solve. Delivery isn't free, even if the customer isn't the one paying for it. If standard delivery becomes more expensive due to the weather-linked bursty nature of the load requ

Capitalism fetishizes growth, not revenue. If the business isn't growing it will not attract investment dollars, and will quickly have a hard time staying competitive.

Inheritance taxes aren't an issue if the estate is valued - this is after all expenses, debts, etc. have been taken care of- at less than $5.25 million. Numbers vary, but it's definitely fewer than 5% and possibly fewer than 1% of

I think it would make a lot of sense to have a BI and to also double-down in R&D to improve all levels of understanding and capabilities in the fields of AI and robotics. The protestant work ethic is deeply engrained in this society, b

As you mention, inflation results in people losing real wealth proportionally to the amount of total (nominal) wealth that they have. On the whole, it's a fairly progressive form of redistribution, as long as wages are able to rise wi

You don't think there is any amount of money you could pay people to do those things for you? If so, I think you're mistaken. This may mean that costs for getting people to do unpleasant things for you will rise. Consider it a c
