That works the same for both sides. Many people I know would never use an iPhone. Most people in the world don't use iPhones.

To me it's a lot like pumping your own gas. It's weird when I go back to NJ and have to sit in the car and wait for the one dude working on 6 pumps. But if you talk to people from NJ who have never been outside of NJ it would seem

Yes and no. It is paranoid because we're already about 20 years into our Orwellian future; it's no longer ahead of us.

I already get throttled and I didn't hit 200GB last month. Moved from NJ to CO and still have to deal with the long dick of Comcast.

Why would you force anyone to do anything? Just do it. You've got dozens of these threads full of competent software engineers and no one can put 10/100 people together and fix this? I think it's easy to not want to learn som

It's so interesting to me that so many people complain and no one does anything. If Javascript is so bad just make any other JIT compiler run in browsers. Defeat the argument with action. I'm comfortable with my build process. I h

It's just the fonts being loaded over http instead of https like the site is. Easy fix is just change all the font urls to https since Google Fonts supports https as well.

It's just not true that Americans wouldn't take these jobs. If Americans won't take jobs at $2 an hour that doesn't mean Americans are big assholes who leave food on the table, it means that companies are big assholes th

Pretty sure way more sites are centralized on AWS behind a GUI so unintuitive companies pay Amazon to do it for them.

Even accepting all of those things, if the company was profitable and had anything in the war chest they wouldn't have to take more funding. They're either getting capital for war or survival which means what they have now isn&#x2

Maybe I'm just an undeveloped child, but after 2 all of the "improvements" just seem like an outgoing person explaining why they're the evolution of humanity.

> Fed up, the woman quit her job at Apple, trading her position at one of the world's most iconic companies in favor of a job riding a bicycle. At least it has a happy ending.

I can't tell you how happy I'd be if someone made a network of applications you could download and install in under a second that ran in any other language.

Oh, yeah I didn't mean it to sound that way. In that context I'd say that I believe that moving humanity forward provides more fulfillment than just being happy.

I guess I'm coming from the wrong side. I think happiness for its own sake is really meaningless. I'd much rather struggle and advance than be happy doing nothing until I die, but I guess I'm in the minority. Happiness, to me

Well I'd much rather have Advancement over Happiness. We can be happy our entire lives but if everyones dies before 100 and humanity never goes anywhere I wouldn't consider that a successful society. Happiness is masturbating 24&#

I'm not sure I understand. 15 words per minute means you say one word every 4 seconds.

"Most" is kind of a meaningless word. Most people I know use Netflix / HBO Go, Spotify / Youtube / Soundcloud, do not buy newspapers / magazines (they still make these?) and are on their phones the whole time t

Modular vs monolith. Many people would rather require 100 libraries that each do one thing perfectly than one library that does 10,000 things poorly. It also makes everything you do easier to test and run 10+ times faster.

When I took the SAT they required you to copy a sentence in cursive on the scantron. I don't know cursive so I just scribbled on it. Didn't seem to hurt my grade.

It's not necessarily retroactively. If he has 10 people (8m, 2f) and wants parity (8m, 8f) then hes guaranteeing that the 16th person he hires will be a woman.

Something I'd add is that many people who actually play (buy) the real Pokemon games realize the state of this game as well. Most of my friends who play Go are people who know Pokemon from the 90s, not people who have contributed to th
