Tech, video games, etc.. journalists have a very different use case for RSS, which is exactly using it to monitor dozens of other information sources (including their competitors). I think they match the definition of power users, perhaps m

I'm not saying French health care is magical (comes at no cost) or perfect (could not be improved), I'm just saying that it's pretty damn good, and that for the majority of French people it turns out to be something they want to keep. >

They won't destroy academia, but I certainly hope that they will destroy the "grand lecture" format. There is no point in having an average professor lecture painfully for 2 hours when you can have the same content delivered to you by an en

You can use git on BitBucket. As a matter of fact, I use BitBucket for my private projects. The benefit of using GitHub for public projects, on the other hand, is that it provides better visibility : more users, and possibly more contributo
