Amazing to see what a disadvantage citizens are facing when going up against the government. Just reading the transcript you can imagine how anyone without a very experienced (and expensive) attorney would be overwhelmed and not understand

It may not be simple but it helps when you have the questions in advance. "So that he would be prepared to answer, I sent the question to Director Clapper’s office a day in advance. After the hearing was over, my staff and I gave his o

Like how they start off right away saying Snowden cheated on the test to get hired and then discuss his "weird" habits. Seems the same as most high profile interviews - the interviewer is so thrilled to get an exclusive they just

Well, just because someone gets on stage and tells jokes doesn't mean they're a comedian.

Try https://www.creamhq.com/ for personalized. Upside is the matching. Down side is that if nothing fits what you're looking for, you of course receive nothing.

Agreed - it was painful but worth the time to change background to teal w/ StyleBot Chrome extension. Really like how this is all laid out and the term sheet is right there at the bottom.

He's just being honest and saying one will get more page views than another, not evaluating the merits of the underlying businesses. Perfectly rational since it's what he's been incentivized to care about.

There's no conundrum. You take what you can get, when you can get it - especially with how Washington functions today. The other big name groups recognize this. Perfect is the enemy of good here.

Have been using it for 3 years and the occasional problems pale in comparison to the utility I've gotten from it. Have recommended it and set it up for less tech savvy family members. Simple on the other hand is pretty useless to me. T

"with Andy Garcia" - was Al Pacino but either way that's an interesting comparison. Hadn't thought about it that way before.

Also recall reading a justification that less formatting should be used in emails and that was part of the UI decision. Don't recall whether that was from Gmail team or a writer editorializing but fact is I use formatting to make my em

Awful, just awful. Very surprised to see a company that has design as such a focus blow it like this. The flat design doesn't help the user (imho) and actually hurts him/her. It takes longer to understand and discern between diffe

Exactly. Right now the "in your face" abuse is happening to a relatively small portion of people (privacy of millions being violated but they don't all feel it yet). Easy for everyone else to sit back in comfort and think it

"taking his story at face value requires adopting a position of spectacular naiveté." It really doesn't. Just need ability to put yourself in the other person's shoes. Admittedly not easy. Hard enough to do when buildi

Not sure who decides what's officially mature & professional but suspect it's a matter of opinion.

Maybe I'm old fashioned but I think the story is that someone thought it was OK to randomly start filming a company meeting - one where they were discussing future layoffs & partnerships apparently. edit: don't know if they we

Customers should be funding your hardware purchases. If you don't have customers yet then go find some and get enough of them to prepay and agree to use your service so that you can afford the hardware, etc. Because, if you're not

Agreed - this design is very disappointing. I want to be able to glance at my phone and understand what I'm looking at as easily as possible. Another person in this thread mentioned waking up from sleep and looking at their phone - tha

Some people have to take charge because it's too stressful for them if they aren't in control. Others want the power/status of managing people. Maybe you just you value other things like family, alone time or cheesecake.

I don't see the trick. I see a list of things someone wrote so that they can write a follow up post saying essentially, "I called it!" All those things you want him to write about are for another article. The author isn'

"Snowden is also making himself a part of the story, and making claims that are not directly backed up by the material that has been released thus far." So why not ignore the noise & leave it for the gossip pages while focussi

https://www.catincan.com does something similar except that developers choose what to put up for funding and only the main devs can seek funding on the platform. Think http://www.freedomsponsors.org is the original as far as open source

Maybe save it for an example in your book? Your blog already has enough great material to establish your place at the forefront of modern philosophy. Now it's just a question of marketing. Kickstarter campaign for your book sounds good. And

Personally, I think it's irrelevant how much money her mom has and this could be a great teaching lesson for her daughter. The modern day lemonade stand. But...I don't think her daughter has much to do with this: http://i.imgur.com/F03oG3e

Everyone is focussed a bit too literally on the word "fraud" when it's more about the fact that a 9 yr old did not come up with this: http://i.imgur.com/F03oG3e.png . Which begs the question, how much money is mom going to pocket from this
