Nintendo still sells the original mario bros. game through multiple avenues. This site existing absolutely takes away from Nintendo's profits off the game in a real sense.

I think it can be used as a relative scale of toxicity though, but I'm not a chemist, so if anyone with a background in it knows better, I'd like to know.

I didn't think it was relevant, as my assertion was just that it was easier on your body than salt, but thanks for pulling that out if you think it will help.

Sorry about that, from the wikipedia page on MSG: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosodium_glutamate#Safety The oral lethal dose to 50% of subjects (LD50) is between 15 to 18 g/kg body weight in rats and mice resp

I'm thinking that it's easier to get support for reforming details about the lawsuit proceedings than the patent system itself. The bill is smart in keeping its scope very small and clean, tackling the real common sense improvemen

And now they're all on instagram instead... Yeah, that purchase makes a lot more sense doesn't it?

Also, your body is actually better at processing MSG than salt, so supplementing your food with MSG can allow you to get good flavor with a considerable salt reduction.

In this case it seems to be entirely a royalty dispute, and has nothing to do with the patent. Hasbro properly licensed the product, the just didn't properly pay out the royalties. Also, the patent reform bill[1] that was featured not

Isn't image hosting a horribly crowded space, completely filled with big hitters? It seems like they just weren't close to competing in scale with the likes of flickr, imgur, or instagram. It just seems like there isn't room

I think this is a terrible way to conduct a phone interview. I think about code visually, and this is a very visual question, so thinking about this entirely in my head is way harder than writing it down. I'd be worried that having a c

Not all theoretical CS is focused on algorithms, and if this were specifically for an algorithm focused position, I would ask a more in depth and relevant question. This question might be suited for a small subset of jobs, but considering t

I think it can be summed up to; you're expecting a specific final solution. Open ended questions that don't have a best solution will require you to pay more attention to the process, rather than the result. In this article, the g

Anything is better than waiting an hour for a taxi to show up, and then having to call a friend because the company just forgot about you.

It depends on your goal. If you're just writing code for yourself, then yes, because you are your own customer at that point. If other people happen to share your sentiment, awesome. If you want to start a startup because you think you

It's just meant as a joke. If I saw this in an interview, I would find it hilarious and impressive, but I would probably cut it off pretty early.

The ad I've seen for it on Hulu focuses entirely on a variety of industry professionals using it for work, so I think they're starting to get the right idea.

I'd like to take a step back and recognize that the computer landscape is really good right now. We have 3 major pc options that all provide a very good baseline experience, and fill different niches effectively. It's at the point

The most effective optimizations will probably be on the driver level, which microsoft would have little say over (in terms of the surface, they should but they're weak in the hardware game). Here's a question complaining about 1&

As it is, I think it's still in niche territory, but I think with some polish it could be a really great product. The big question is whether microsoft can pull off the polish, which historically they haven't been able to (maybe w

I think they have all the right elements to make something really great. I think they still need to nail the price point, but with new tech products, that shouldn't be a problem in a few years. The surface is very appealing to me in te

Isn't the estate tax essentially a way for a portion of that to go back to the people? People die, and have to pass their belongings on, and pay a tax when they do. Corporations don't die, so they have an unfair advantage over peo

For high performance gaming, I wonder if console gaming has something to do with it. With publishers now focusing on consoles instead of PCs, graphics may be held back to a degree due to that. But another thing to consider is that the conso
