I don't think this is a very good argument. The term blacks was likely arbitrarily chosen and wasn't meant in a derogatory or disrespectful manner. Also, where in the world have you lived? I just moved out of Harlem a few mont

And considering that many of these Pixels are going straight to the Fi network...I'd rather keep media on the device than pay $10/gb to retrieve it.

I think (hope) we've hit the "peak phone" argument in that phones now are as flashy and hyped as they're ever going to be. Hopefully we'll see superfluous features and sparkles fade away as people start to want some

Good luck getting past 25mph in some parts of the city though. Traffic, pedestrians/jaywalkers, hazards, and stop lights every other block act as a more natural governor.

There are exceptions -- I've been hired multiple times by companies who were just getting into software and didn't really understand what they were hiring for. In all cases there were failures on both sides (me for not realizing w

Some of those position descriptions infuriate me. Having recently gone through a job hunt, I'm not yet ready to joke about them while sober. I mostly agree with this definition, though I don't know who would hire someone that can&

I'd hope that if that government had to spend less dealing with discarded products (aka trash/recycling) as a result of manufacturer actions/practices, they'd pass those savings on.

If you've ever been to NYC, this is pretty much the tour bus ticket salesmen. Some will follow you from behind with their arms outstretched in front of your face, flashing tour bus tickets. After a particularly stressful day, one guy d

I'd wager a word-of-mouth campaign or televised PSA would sooner help kids that young (though I love the idea of the app).

Sure, if you ignore quality of work, timezone differences, language barriers, and any hiring regulations that might exist.

I don't use whatsapp or instagram and have not used the new account on any other device. I did use my real number for the old FB account, but used 555-867-5309 for the new one.

I'm not, in fact I'm using a different ISP entirely. You really think my behavior patterns are uniquely identifiable at FB's scale? I can't imagine how many other users must have similar typing/clicking/resting

So, I deactivated my account maybe 6 months ago, and uninstalled the app long ago. Since then, I moved halfway across the country and, using a brand new laptop, a fake name and number, and a throwaway email address, created another profil

Funny enough, I was recently working with a startup that wanted to buy the ot.to domain. It looked like it was being used for directions to an event or someone's house no longer than a month ago. We were also thinking of branding as Ot

And Michael Crichton's Airframe has tens of pages describing airplane parts and their inspection processes. I love it when books do that -- fortunately, it's easy to distinguish between technical passages and drivel.

It doesn't seem technically difficult. Many browsers are native applications and can request hardware information the same way that tools like speccy can. This isn't exactly what you're asking, but I'd say a lot of sites

I built a similar internet-over-voice system for a hackathon a couple of years ago. A mobile app started a call, sent a URL over the line via DTMF tones, the server fetched the page, converted each response character to a frequency, saved i
