I think that's pretty awesome - I've been wanting something like that for Python django for a while, so I will be waiting still, but things are going in the right direction, top work.

This - I bought AT headphones (c£150) at Christmas, and they're astonishing. I had a listen to some Beats 'phones in the apple store (£279) last time I was getting a repair done, and they were astonishingly bad - fuzzy, tinny hig

You ignored the important qualifier at the end of the sentence: ...to enable Evernote to operate the Service. And the preceding clause: In order to enable Evernote to operate the Service, we must obtain from you certain license and other

That's simply not true. In fact, it's explicitly excluded in the TOS.

There's also an element of practical coercion in Facebook. Numerous academic studies have found it both addictive and leveraging social necessity (I.e. You don't actually need it, but practically, many people suffer actual impa

That's really quite a cool idea. Definitely do it! I'd be interested in helping to build it. The cooperative rules are, I think, quite different in the US and UK, but I'm reasonably familiar with it in the UK.

In Europe, the answer is probably GoCardless. Depends what kind of payments though - if it's card type payments you need, (I.e instant, fore commerce type stuff), then not, but subscriptions, most bills/invoices, absolutely GoCa

While I don't disagree with you, at least in the UK, possession in a cache and in some circumstances, transmission of child abuse images is a strict liability offence, meaning intent doesn't come into it - I suspect it's the

This, pretty much. At my school(s) the cards are generated automatically from registration on Moodle/WebSurf/WebPortal, and are printed from machines built specially for the purpose. I mean, one of the schools I'm talking a

The issue isn't just about the internet echo chamber though, it's a more fundamental thing that people seek out news sources and opinions that reinforce their own biases - totally the right thing to tackle, but it's not just

Well, it depends which of those things you want to do. If you want to do an MBA then a) why, and b) probably get a degree. If you want to work in a big corporate, then probably get a degree; less so for a startup, but I know that even in t

I like how this generally confirms my opinion of shows; I can only infer that I hold meta opinions/no opinion of my own. Season 2 finale of The West Wing as some of the best tv ever, though.

It's been a long standing problem, it would definitely improve my life a significant amount! See also : suspending the access after 3 or however many incorrect attempts, but not telling you that's what's happened.

There was a really nice couple of minutes there where I got first the Stack Overflow Closevote backlog (?!), then access to all the server directories. So eh, you should probably have a look at that. Nice app, though!

There's quite a lot of evidence to suggest that always on recording of police does far more to address asymmetry of power than to reinforce it; it's why sousveillance is popular amongst activists. Police brutality flourishes in

Well... I'm 33, and in a similar boat. Except, I don't feel fucked. I crashed out of Software Engineering aged 19, because I couldn't hack the maths, and a bunch of personal stuff. So I got a law degree. Then I went and wo

Yeah, but that score is based on in match betting, rather than "to qualify", no? So what I find most interesting there is that the odds continued to rise for PSG after the goal, even though people (like me) put money on when th

This, this this, x1000. The bulk of gambling problems in the UK (where gambling is completely legal in almost all its forms) primarily centre around Fixed Odds Betting machines in shops, rather than market based betting. The latter can st
