Blast from the past, with some new stuff throw in too! I'm not usually a fan of these lists but this one has some good stuff. I was wondering why K10k wasn't there, but sadly it turns out it finally took its last breath a year ago (after ye

I'm not sure exactly which incident you're referring to as there have been several of these stories coming out of China in the last few years, but as far as I know none are associated with Broad Group. They pride themselves on being safer t

Employee turnover is very low compared to the US. There is absolutely a feeling of safety in your employment, which is just one of the reasons why suicides spike in the spring at the end of the fiscal year. Pay grade generally scales with y

Interesting that you bring this up, as I was just reading patio11's article and thinking the same thing. When I was 18 I pivoted my business (freelancing, design work mostly plus webdev) to 'consulting' after discovering that my value wasn'

I never would've guessed that the software industry would produce such engrossing real-time dramas. Take Kim Dotcom, John McAfee, throw in Elon Musk for good measure (maybe Branson too) and you're well into comic book territory.

If Apple would allow developers to extend Siri with some sort of script (MAS approved even) it would be awesome. Even if the functionality was limited to speaking an address macro and then pause-to-tab you could do a lot with some personal

I've been using these for the past few months and they've worked fine. Plenty of things I wish worked better, but for the most part I'm happy that it's free and I don't have to reboot just to debug some CSS.

Maybe you're supposed to write an algorithm that predicts what the next captcha will be and use that. ;)

My mother used to wonder why I seemed so negative all the time. "I'm not being negative, I'm just figuring out all the stuff I have to fix." I expect I'll be on the other side of that conversation in a few years.

I'm on my phone so typing is a little bothersome, but if this is the same as the printed manuals they've had for years I would highly recommend it. Most of my study on electronics outside of hands on work was with this series. If you're thi

I don't think the US population would react so well to a non-voter fine, but I do think it would be interesting to see what effect there would be if an automatic tax deduction or rebate was offered. I suppose you run the risk of disincentiv

Green squiggly excluded, I can think of two reasons off the top of my head why even the most advanced general purpose grammar checker would be a bit of a controversial feature: - Because grammar is typically more expressive, and dependent u

Following a little of what nathannecro said, I think that the real consequence of this technology is that it makes language more useful, more important as a conceptual tool than ever before. Studying language in within an environmental mode

Make sure you make it easy to cancel, e.g. instructions in the first text for how to block your number from the registry. People who do not have a texting plan in favor of iMessage, Skype, etc. but do not block all incoming texts by default
