I would argue that Amazon and Google are better because I can use their payment system on things other than my phone as well. Whenever I'm on a new site that's selling something, I'm very relieved when I see the amazon or goo

Amazon is huge. Do you have anything backing your first claim? I wouldn't feel comfortable claiming either side has more cards without a source.

Just from my experience, the Snowden thing was the best thing to happen for getting people to notice government abuses of power. Before him, if you were to say something like "the government is tracking everything we do on the internet

Their vehicle safety score was 0.42, the closest one was 0.50. That's a big difference. The lowest with a 5 star rating was 0.66 and the average was 0.60. That's totally something they should be allowed to brag about, but they sho

It just seems like the NHTSA is just reiterating that there's no official higher than 5 star rating to protect themselves, rather than scolding Tesla. Tesla did say that a rating higher than 5 stars does not exist, and that the extra h

When you're that age you're entirely goal oriented. You don't care about structure, you don't care about speed. You wanted to hack Mech Warrior 2. You had a very specific goal, so whatever language helped you do that the

I kinda felt that the hyperloop proposal was made in a know it all fashion, like "oh look how easy it is, why hasn't this been done yet?", so I feel like this response is appropriate to that tone.

I think it's more important to try and emulate the native browser loading behavior first. I threw together an example with an iframe and a resource that never completes: http://loadlet.herokuapp.com/ Extra loading indi

I was looking for something like this. I created an automated build script that rebuilds the project when any dependency file is saved. I wanted to be able to play a sound when the build was complete so I know it's safe to reload the p

I always liked event based systems the most. I find them to be clean and flexible. Sometimes you want to run some more code after you run an async operation, or you want to run multiple operations at once and deal with them out of order. Aw

Worst case scenario seems to be that you're advertising to potential employers that you're having trouble finding a job... That doesn't seem like a good thing to point out...

This isn't an alternative to the light bulb. This is an alternative to the window for people living in slums that can't afford glass.

What do you mean by when the conversation was happening? I think it's still happening, and on the verge of a breakthrough point for legalization. Or do you mean when opinion was more against legalization, he could have helped speed it

Either other schools have terrible CS programs, or I'm in the minority of people who really enjoyed all my CS classes. I thought learning the ins and outs of how a computer worked was a big thrill. I always wanted to know how a bunch o

That message seems to be intended for developers looking at this example site, thus the casualness. If you were to use this on your own site there would be no error message at all.

Why can't they just limit part of the service to make it impractical to run a large server on it? Decrease the upload bandwidth, or limit the number of simultaneous connections you can have. Those would all be service limitations inste

While the gap has increased during the recession, the proportion has stayed about the same. Since there would be proportionately fewer jobs, it makes sense that the gap wouldn't stay fixed. While I'm sure ageism is at play, you al

Do you use the module feature that much? If you break your code down into small enough pieces it's less of a problem. Also the terseness of coffeescript functions makes anonymous functions less painful.

If your TV is capable of powering via HDMI it doesn't require a power adapter. You can't really blame them for that if the TV is out of date.

I think one part of this is dispelling the myth that telling the user which of the fields is wrong is a security flaw. You can already figure out if a username exists by trying to create it on the registration screen, so saying "Your u

It wasn't the simplicity of the installer interface. It was the actual installation. Ubuntu did the best job simply working with a large variety of hardware. You installed it and you didn't have to do a bunch of painful manual set

Unfortunately the majority of their users probably don't want the letterbox format because they don't understand what the black bars are for. If they requested both formats to give users the choice it would probably cost them more

Look at the Man on the Moon crop. It's clearly not just cropping off the sides. It's anchored to the right. I also doubt Netflix either has a smart algorithm that can figure out the focus of the scene, or hires a bunch of people t
