For what it's worth, I think it's neat that you shared that the knowledge necessary to build a Shazam-like thing is something an undergraduate might do as a homework assignment. I had thought it would be a lot more complicated. :)

I take "anti-government" to mean that one is opposed to the actions that the government takes, in some situations, rather than being against the idea of the government. One can believe that a government is legitimate, while also

Inbox builds on a set of useful primitive ideas, but understanding them is necessary to understand pinning's value. The central idea of Inbox is that your goal is INBOX ZERO, and that after dealing with any email, you swipe it to the s

I think what tptacek means is that when we sign up for a service, we agree to terms of use. Even if we don't sign it, it might be legally undecided as to whether that counts as a binding contract, nor whether "terminate the user

I've been at multiple companies where people get zero minutes notice of a layoff -- "Hey, come meet with me -- btw IT just took your machine." Despite that, the team I worked with were people I was close to, whose skill and

That doesn't seem like it would be helpful from a forensics standpoint -- if a court is asking for my password, they probably already have an image cloned from my device, so any such things seem like they would either be noticeable, or

I think the GP was referring to _every building in Los Angeles_, not every building in the world. You do make good points about how weather elsewhere would make it very difficult to handle without AC.

For day-to-day use, sure. But, a common way that many teams/squads/groups/guilds move to Discord is that they find that _all of the random pick up groups_, or servers, etc, are having people use Discord (instead of Mumble or

The new "War Mode" mechanics sound neat. It's an opt-in experience you set in a capital city, and then when you go out in the world you are in a _balanced_ shard of only others who opted in as well.
