Yeah all those dumb kids who are dying of diseases in poverty should be more open minded.

Why is this guy's legal troubles news? Honestly. There's tons of rich jerks like him who have legal troubles that we don't hear about. But for some reason he likes to put out press releases about every step of the way and the

Good advice except for the last example which is brittle and unnecessary. If handleError() is ever changed this method could start returning values unexpectedly. Totally unnecessary and not a worthwhile "optimization" to save line

Assuming a site like Medium is going to stand for freedom of speech is foolish. Of course they aren’t. They are for profit. This silly mindset is way too common. Don’t trust for profit companies like Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, etc to be bast

This is equivalent to thinking "Well I'll keep making more money forever and I could win the lottery so I don't need to save for retirement."

Pinker has found a fun niche like many authors before him; write books that only the well off and mostly content folks will buy and read and tell them what they want to hear. (Gladwell and many other authors popular among upper middle class

Baloney. I've been driving my Nissan Leaf for almost 4 years. Nissan has sold 300k Leafs. The Chevy Bolt is doing great. The Tesla Model 3 has a multi-year long waitlist. BMW and some other manufacturers are being slow to adopt EVs bec

This is just straight up baloney. The Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Bolt show this to just not be true at all. It's not that car companies like BMW and Honda and others who are being slow to release EVs are colluding so much as they are ju

I had a similar reaction, that quote seems extremely ignorant and tone deaf. Open source is all about shattering that mentality from Day 1; making an open source POSIX compatible OS.

Do you think they will? Do you think Holmes and the others at Theranos responsible for the fraud will get any jail time? Maybe that's coming but it doesn't seem like it, and that's the point of my comment. I didn't say &

Take a TV from a truck that's left open behind a warehouse; get months if not years in jail. Deliberately commit fraud for years and steal millions and millions of dollars; slap on the wrist. Our system is so ridiculous.

Does anybody other than people who actually work in the marketing department of a phone manufacturer care? Is anybody still basing their identity around the brand of smartphone they use in 2018? If so, that's sad. The iPhone vs. Androi

I think the headline is kinda missing the point here; the issue is not the flagging of illegal images once found, the issue is snooping around people's computers that were left for repairs deliberately looking for illegal images and th

Does anyone really think this is a good idea when the crypto market is obviously being heavily manipulated? Specifically by Tether but by others as well. The behavior during the last crash showed obvious pumping and fake buy walls, and was

The basic proposition of the article is true (not many people make much money off AdSense from YouTube) but it’s really poorly written and full of misinformation and omissions. One horribly incorrect point: > Buying the same equipment us

Yes the single touch screen instrumentation is a deal killer for me. I will not buy a Model 3 for this reason, the Chevy Bolt has a much more traditional interior that I prefer. As does the Nissan Leaf.

There is no Nissan specific charging network. The rest of the industry besides Tesla have long since settled on standards for charging and the presence of regular charging stations is improving but slowly. A large part of why is that up til

It was a stupid way to phrase what I meant which is that when this silly response (“Native people killed each other you know!”) it’s almost never in response to someone saying “Native people never killed each other.” It’s in response to som

This is a popular talking point for folks who don’t want to talk about the effects of European colonization. It’s so absurd that it’s kind of hard to unpack; which makes it kind of effective. Nobody ever in any circumstances is stating or i
