But I don't buy a lock for my front door expecting the manufacturer to simply give the key to anyone that asks nicely for it.

Almost all credit card companies in the US allow you to dispute charges. Some even allow you to do it online. Typically it's then up to the merchant to prove the charges are legitimate. And from what I've heard that's very di

I know you mean well, but this is not good advice. The benefits of exercise are so vast and varied, and study after study has confirmed not only the physical benefits, but the mental benefits as well. To compare it to listening to music or

I'm not sure how it's ironic in any way. Maybe in the Alanis Morissette usage of the word? Whether or not you go out of your way to avoid ads isn't really germane to my point. I'm simply suggesting that it's not at

I believe Hulu actually has 2 tiers: one with ads, and higher paid tier that is ad-free. So they still use a pay model that includes showing ads. From what I have read, Netflix has at least tested showing trailers for their own content. Tha

I'm surprised at the almost universal outrage over this. I assumed this was in response to the whole election interference campaign and related issues, i.e. preventing bots from blasting out content and predetermined times or in respon

> They also show ads even if you have a subscription, which sounds very backward to me. So are you also cancelling your cable subscription, any magazine subscriptions, physical newspaper subscriptions, no longer driving on toll roads wit

Doesn't this all assume that all trading partners are being fair and honest, though? For example, let's say a country artificially keeps prices low for microchips in an effort to infiltrate the US market (for whatever underlying r

I think it's important to note that this is explicitly about "the OS division". Microsoft may have a company wide policy about this, I have no idea. But I think there's a huge distinction between an OS having hidden code

I don't suppose there's any way to listen to the audio of these? Is it public? Or online? All of the "oral history" links are 404s.

While "move fast and break things" sounds great and works well in a lot of cases, this is the huge problem with it. There are real consequences. And with GDPR and other privacy laws, this is will start equating to real money lost.

I see a HUGE performance difference. I use VS Code now exclusively, having moved from Atom months ago. But most of the rest of my dev team is still using Atom. Every single time I've worked with one of them and used their machine one o

An Olympic sized swimming pool is 2.5MM liters . That's roughly 660,000 gallons. So it's actually ~10 Olympic sized pools.

That's awful advice. Obviously _someone_ has to use their judgement to _create_ the rules. But if you have a large codebase that lots of people are interacting with, letting everyone "use their judgement" is going to create a

But I'm not suggesting they tell everyone the company is in dire straits and they are on the verge of getting fired. Just don't willfully lie to them on a daily basis and tell them that things are amazing and their jobs are totall

That's just because the DC area is so spread out. You don't really have to be in DC "proper" to get the benefits of the area. Which I think is different than a lot of other major metro areas. You see the same thing with
