I might give Uber a hard time about some things but I'm failing to see the evil in this. Yes, the leases might seem predatory, but if the target is high risk buyers and the apr is not off by an order of magnitude, seems like they are j

Just because you are rich or influential doesn't mean you don't get a right to privacy. If people want to know his stance on being gay, ask him. At what dollar figure do you lose these rights exactly? Why should your sexual orient

I used to get super excited. I've calmed down a lot based on how many bugs there are that I experience on my Nexus 6p. I love this phone, I love Android, but I finally get understand part of the reason carriers drag their feet and reim

The author said he needed at least 2 instances in a AZ to avoid the bug, and used that as his workaround in the mean time that Amazon works on the bug.

Minimization should certainly help some of that.

Really sad that economics makes a bunch of massive ships travel thousands of miles out of their way, burning tons of extra fuel, just because a bunch of guys charge way too much to drive through a canal that was built a long time ago.

I like your enthusiasm but look at the number of images again, and remember that Google is notorious for trying hard not to use humans. I think the statistical significance will probably overwhelm moon pictures, and that's what they&

I think zhte415 is just saying there are some things to watch out for, not that they are disagreeing. These things make sense to me: - You need an invoice for the IRS - Sometimes bad things happen sending money - Sometimes bad things

- I also regularly have to kill apps and restart them because they don't properly detect internet connectivity. I think this is actually due to people not testing apps against the new Doze functionality, which isn't Google's

The video is on a cdn and is highly cacheable. The comments are highly dynamic and rely on far more db fetches presumably. You'll notice Google put these under the fold and dynamically ajax them in when you scroll down because they are

I used to buy this theory for a long time until I got my Nexus 5x. It has a lot of bugs. I actually miss the very polished feel of my Sony Z3 compact. Low ui tweaks, super dependable. It's a shame I hear Sony might be stopping its phon

Washington only charges $20 per day of impound? My motorcycle spent a 3 days in impound because someone moved in and needed moving-truck street space costing me over $600 with a few hundred for the ticket and then something closer to $100 a

You're right, the fact that the reason Newegg has money allows them to go after these people. So the system sucks. But why is this not a victory of something big with resources doing the right thing even though it might cost them? Winn

Wouldn't that involve changing the references in the mid-level to the leafs? Now you have to maintain changes to all the mid-level packages, sounds like not fun.

Many cables don't include the symbol because it is expensive to get and requires passing tests they might fail. Go look at your cables, I bet you'll find ones without it, even ones that came with more expensive products.

If you're complaining because it's faster than O(N*log(N)), the fixed key size guarantees you'll never meet a sufficiently large N which is required when doing big-oh analysis. If you're complaining because of the k, k i

I worked over there for a year. Dropped right into a RoR and Android shop and coded with them just like an American style one so at least anecdotally, they don't really have a different programming world.

First off, I love Ruby and Clojure dearly. However, the author justifies that Clojure was necessary because he only had 4 engineers and didn't have time to scale Ruby, he just wanted something fast because he had to run too many server

Pretty big generalization there. There are 20+ CSU's and 10 UC's in California. You really going to paint 30 schools with such broad strokes in one state alone, plus the rest of the US?

This is a really interesting post with some cool maps, but it's a little surprising because the author keeps saying he cannot finding reasons. Just that 4-5pm on Wednesdays are high-time for getting arrested in the Tenderloin or 16th a
