Actually it is stealing, you're just not the one doing it.

Your first point is spot on and interesting. I would also argue that we all have different flaws and it's easy to judge others for theirs while pretending ours are somehow less bad. For example the most judgemental people I know are

Did you know most airlines have absolutely awful inventory control over the supplies on their planes? If you make friends with a flight attendant they usually have the leeway to bring you just about anything you want for free. Is that ste

I agree, it's not 100% okay. I wouldn't feel bad doing it though. I also wouldn't do it in a situation where my presence hurts another paying customer (i.e. full lounge). My personal ethics apply to how my actions impact ot

Many/most forms of hacking could be construed as stealing if you squint hard enough. What was this community founded around again? Do you think "disruption" is a peaceful, happy, 100% beneficial process for everyone involved

Stealing physical items for fun != exploiting ineptitude to have a less terrible layover. It's also harder to even begin to measure the economic cost. I think it's more akin to buying terrible cheap seats to a show and moving int

Oh the poor airlines! They would never, ever gratuitously exploit their passengers. How could these mean awful people take advantage of them like this? It's pretty hard to root for a corporation when it's smart individual vs fac

This matches my experiences with the past 6 or so iOS beta releases. Contrarily the Xcode 9 beta is the most stable and useful Xcode beta I've ever seen.

Somewhat on topic, but in Colorado we have 6 of the original Titan I nuclear complexes. Abandoned since 1965, each complex has probably a mile of tunnels, huge underground rooms and 3 massive silos. They're absolutely fascinating to

Only if they were aiming at where we are now, which doesn't make sense. They would have to aim the craft at where we are going to be in X years. X being the duration of the voyage. Come to think of it, even if they were aiming direct

That would be the case if Instagram/Facebook's only source of lock-in was a user's established friend connections. However, Instagram/Facebook also have extensive history of each user's actions and content. This is

Some back of the envelope math for their caching costs: 54 x R3.2xlarge EC2 instances On demand = $314,571.6/year w/ 1 year term = $166,860/year w/ 3 year term = $110,340/year w/ convertible 3 year term = $150,

We have three Mars orbiters that act as communication relays currently. MRO, Mars Express and MAVEN. A fourth is proposed for 2022. Edit: The orbiter component of this mission also acts as a relay.

That makes perfect sense actually. I was erroneously thinking of Terra Bella as a standalone project instead of as an extension to one of Google's core products.
