They actually have a message in the footer that says “Leave us an issue.” Ha. https://github.com/ibm/type/issues/new

It didn’t need to stated publicly to anybody who understands that businesses (maybe most particularly modern corporations, shareholders and investment firms) act on strategies that they believe will make them the most money with the least r

I wonder when the last time wah that a similar argument was made in the US congress.

That’s assuming this RV is in sound condition for the trek. That’s quite the assumption given the context but, sure, maybe.

Wow. I haven’t heard about that before but I’m not surprised.

In my opinion, it is about the same, maybe easier to not use markdown. If we count keystrokes, it’s less. If already typed, it’s less keystrokes to select with Shift+Ctrl then press Ctrl+B. If it’s not typed, it’s less keystrokes to Ctrl+B

I’m not very familiar with Prop 13, but can speak for situations in Oregon which seem quite different. Maybe prop 13 is why. Quickly surging economies create active markets which encourage owners to sell, renovations to happen, and old tena

Those locations don’t pay $15/hr. if you can find a job, and you probably can’t. Employment is rising in densely populated areas and not so much in rural areas. This is a little different on the east coast, but that’s a more significan

Interesting. I guess there are so many metrics to define a culture. Can you give an example?

Honestly, I have dreamed and imagined how that could happen for years now. Of course, you’d have to start somewhere just like this. I think Facebook data with image recognition and and text analysis would be my first choice, largely related

Not op but I do these same things and the answer is a pretty solid “no”. I have tried so much haha. For thay reason, this approach is limited but highly valuable. I’ll explain how I do it. Most programming material acn’t be learned this way

200k/yr is one minor catastrophe away from bankruptcy? You must have some very significant additions/vices! That would be a home run for me!

You seem to be not exactly disagreeing with the article, but maybe tightening the slack on what we would call a “trendy company.” The author did not specify any successes of the “trendy companies” being discussed(I’m not including fundraisi

That makes sense. So, given that this is data it's users have an obvious interest in keeping private, Facebook could at least inform of this. The only reason I could imagine they aren't doing this is that their voice recognition i

Alright, that is rational. So, why are there so many exceptions to this rule?For example, why is this limited to America? Is this because America has such a free market? And if that’s the case, where did this overwhelming inequality and mon

Like I said, they have a responsibility defined by the market. I’m not sure how your argument extends their responsibility any more than I did. You comment concerning the users’ freedoms is, sure, correct; that’s the market I’m talking ab

Another anecdote here, for what it’s worth (not much)
532.
by gt_ 9y ago
As things stand, Facebook has no responsibility beyond those required by law and market. This is not an endorsement of anything, but a reminder of the reality.

This aligns with the new crony financialism of the 70s and New Deal of the 30s, but makes not much sense before that. It’s a nice digestable notion that correlates with cycles of generational empowerment but not much else. I’m open to the i

Ah, I thought Detroit would be colder than that mid-winter. As for traction on ice, if the vehicle is already on the ice, it’s too late to slow down. I wonder how the cars could know when they are coming up to ice. Humans can rarely know, b

I expect traction to eventually be one of their strong suits. Machine learning on weather conditions and traffic patterns should work. I’ve got a unique amount of snow-driving experience in most every region of the globe (many years working

My ex-girlfriend bought this book for me and it was one of the red flags that led me to break up with her. I still love her very much, but this gesture made it so evident she could not understand me. Forgive me father/HN.

The 20 minute wait was excused by your willingness to accept the offer of automation. I visited a Walmart last week and notice they had converted 1/3 of the normal checkout aisles to self-checkout stations. They left the conveyor belts

Yep. Long-time residents know these signs all too well. The best way to find a rental in this particular neighborhood is by calling these numbers.

This does not make me feel any better about losing the best home I ever had when it got sold in the 2015 buyout race, with “plans to remodel” which were later rescinded just before being put back on the market at 180% the rent I paid. 2014
