The only thing uglier than the Django Admin is all the third-party packages which attempt to make it prettier. Grappelli was OK for a short time, but even it's too dated to use now. The number of "What if I used Bootstrap made eve

It turns out doing things the "correct" way is harder than just not doing that.

While, in spirit, I agree with Silver here (especially in regards to the Times, and journalists in general, treatment of their own errors), this event and the criticism around it, are such a stark example of how headlines, not stories, have

It wasn't a "false claim of rape". It was, at worst, distasteful hyperbole.

BTC isn't a stock, and the network continues to have significant transactional volume. Whatever the merits of the technical, its found a niche that continues to provide value. It is illogical, but so are many, many things.

I did a double-take at "pledging $1.6 million" assuming it was a typo. That isn't a number you brag about as a company at YouTube's scale.

You don't buy card numbers individually. You buy lists of them, of varying quantity, quality and price and you just cycle the numbers until you find ones that work. Costs per card about $5 bucks, and will get cycled into a multi-mercha

It's not even about the quality of signups. It just will not solve the problem he's trying to solve. It will reduce low-effort and out-of-box tooling, but it'll also increase the value of successful networks, which will encou

I'm not sure why this is generating such debate. CS:GO is a competitive shooter. Macs are not widely popular with that type of customer. It has nothing to do with the technical limitations or business decisions of Apple (especially sin

I'm shocked that the CEO of Airbnb would go out and try to get consumers angry about a policy which negatively impacts his business.

Nothing says you have to, but boy howdy, would the realtors prefer you do. We had negotiated ours down to 1.5%, which I thought was fair, but that was continent on the sellers realtor also accepting a 1.5% fee. The sellers realtor would not

We had to because the sellers insisted on using an agent themselves, because their realtor convinced them they had to, and then that agent then insisted that we use a realtor too. And that's before I bring up how everyone, from the tit

There were few things more frustrating to me when we were buying our house, which we were currently living in, from our landlords, for a price we all agreed to over the phone, that we HAD to employ two realtors who, despite doing little mor

As I said above, staples tend to have store-brand equivalents. But you don't see Walmart creating store-brand knock-offs of every popular product on their shelves.

If they did, whether it'd be something of concern would be a function of the grocery stores market size and capture. If Walmart, for instance, were to start creating Walmart-branded everything after in-store product trials by small com

Not really, or, at least, not at the same scale. Staples (peanut butter, canned fruit, etc.) tend to have store brands, but grocery stores doesn't have a store brand version of the vast majority of popular products.

You do not seem to know how retail works, and have created an arbitrary definition of it to exclude the App Store.

30% is not exorbitant when comparing to say, Walmart, who purchase products wholesale for up to 50% less then retail pricing (depending on the product category). In fact, when 30% was announced, it was considered generous compared to what d

My experience has been that salary alone isn't much of a determinate for employee loyalty for the vast majority of people. If the only reason someone worked for me was because I was willing to pay them the most, I think I'd re-thi

We haven't had a problem hiring talented people yet. If we had, that would indicate their price was reasonable and that we needed to change our salary ranges.

You "obviously" failed to understand that "OP" means the root of this thread, and not your comment. However, "recommending others tip less" is also not boycotting a business. You're recommending people har

By all means, boycott businesses that you don't believe pay their workers fairly. That's not "opting out of tipping" and isn't the behavior the OP described.
