We take it to court, and if it doesn't fit within the boundaries of law, a judge has two options: toss out the case, or attempt to expand the boundaries of law by interpreting existing law in a new way. If the former, we are at an impasse,

Well, let's say I'm offended by your username. I'm so offended that I feel the proper punishment should be paying reparations of no less than $1M to the charity of my choice. Is it my offense taken by your username a fair offense? What stan

You seem to believe that offense is subjective to the individual. Should we then be responsible for everything we do that offends others? What level of recourse should they have for being offended? If we think that punitive action is approp

His accusers? You do realize most of the redacted folks are just your average employees that have nothing to do with the case? And that his accusers are actually the Justice Department anyway? As a citizen that supposedly owns a piece of th

First, thanks for this post, which helped bring me down from righteous indignation to just righteous anger. However, I'd like to have a few things clarified. I'm not worried about IP anymore, or RIAA influence on this, but I am concerned wi

This assumes people are intelligent enough to know what they actually want. Not being mean, just a sad truth about the state of culture right now.

Oops, good catch. This is what I meant.

I have to agree. Full of a lot of conjecture and giant leaps without much positive evidence. Unfortunately, stuff like this is all the rage even in scientific literature these days, especially in the realm of evolutionary biology. Many simi

Now this is interesting. I'm not sure if this is the reason for what I'm talking about, but it's certainly good information to know!

This is wildly off topic, but I'm genuinely curious... What is with the profile pictures of people looking up and to the right, with usually a circular gradient solid color background? I see it a lot in the SV/tech industry, and am wonderin

It most likely derives from "master/slave" relationships like client/server. "Slave" is chosen since makes adolescent boys feel like they have power. The author is merely using the community's terminology.

I'm not convinced. WWI was the debut of wartime aircraft, and he would have been well aware of the role airplanes had in shifting the power of that war. They were mainly used for reconnaissance and some light bombing, but it was widely publ

The problem is not that there shouldn't be parties, but rather there should be LOTS of parties, all with an equal say and equal potential to gain office. Power brokering should happen not by party, but by the issues. There should be no majo

This is the most helpful post here. Nobody else seemed to have tracked down what they were specifically talking about.

Well, that remains to be seen. Looking at both websites, it's difficult to tell what they are talking about. Flat-UI doesn't seem to have any assets that mirror anything on LayerVault's. They need to be more specific.

Um, that hasn't stopped the past few administrations from doing exactly that.

Very, very nice. I manage my church's website, but I don't have the time to constantly upgrade Drupal (or WP), and it looks bad. My only thing is that I have a small church, and while $25/mo seems reasonable to me, I doubt my church would g

Cue the standing desk weirdos... Get something <$100 that doesn't have armrests and doesn't lean back (or else it locks such a function solidly). It will force you to sit correctly.

I have also done this exact thing. Luckily, it was on a development database, so nobody ever had to know! Easy mistake to make, for sure.

My first "real job" was at a company that developed equipment for radiological surveys for decommissioning efforts, and after a short time was given the responsibility to develop a VB5/6 application that turned out to make a lot of money an

I've been using this format for years. It's the only reasonable format for dealing with sorting information. Nothing aggravates me like files that use month/day/year format; it's useless.

Lived there for a decade, and recall a time that we literally turned off our cars and met random people in the jam. I think it was during the trend of people jumping off of overpasses. There's also the random attractive person that cuts you

Love the VC one. Even better would be if they eventually discover it was really two dogs all along.

Agreed, and I'm surprised there aren't more of us. I don't advocate for 12px font sizes, but somewhere around 14 is probably correct. 16px is typically absurd. I wasn't even able to finish reading this blog post because it hurt so bad. Mayb
