Got it, thanks. I was confused because I took that sentence to mean that it wasn't possible to pass the function to itself.

Did no one here own a Mac prior to the introduction of iOS? It's a plainly undeniable fact that Jobs refused, year after year, to do anything to make the Mac a viable desktop gaming platform despite developers and publishers begging him to

Anyway, much later in life, I was treated like Sam I had a hard time taking his post seriously after this. As someone who was the "weird kid" growing up this sentence is so insulting, and so far past egotistical, that I'm not even sure t

Their precious human capital could be used to create further knowledge and advance progress, instead it's used to exploit. You've just described the entire history of finance and nearly all of modern economics.

That's an awful website too. White text on dark background is a complete readability failure, no matter how much contrast it provides.

If you drive your bike like it's a car, motorists will notice you and pass you with a wide margin. Where do you live that this is true?

unless I want what I do to be associated with my real name, I just probably shouldn't do it This sounds an awful lot like "if you aren't doing anything wrong then you don't have anything to hide" to me.

The author of this post, Jon Ronson, wrote a book called The Psychopath Test that is a pretty good read on the subject. http://www.jonronson.com/psycho.html He also wrote The Men Who Stare at Goats , if you've read that or seen the mov

It would be nice, but I bet the former question is asked far more frequently than the latter.

His number is way too small, if anything. There was an awful lot more to the bailout of the US economy than the TARP program. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-21/wall-street-aristoc...

On re-reading this sounds like harsher criticism than I intended. What I mean to say is that showing a legible signature would more clearly indicate what the field is for.

by dhugiaskmak 15y ago
Why not show an actual, legible, signature? (John Doe or Jane Q. User or something.) Even with the signature line it still looks like visual gibberish.

Why does your site use behind-the-window popups even though I have popup blocking explicitly enabled in my browser? If I were hired at TripAdvisor could my first project be to get rid of such scumbag behavior?
