Whoa. Calm down. I wasn't saying I felt that way. Please don't make such spurious assumptions about me just for making what seemed like a notable comparison. But since you mentioned car insurance, did you know that two US states d

It's an understandable correction though. For instance, if one were to say "People in the US are are Nazis" you can be certain many people would argue that a correction is both necessary and helpful.

How do you determine if it's non-security threatening, though? Isn't that considered an approval process?

OP didn't say "primary reason"... OP said "only reason", and that is what the person you replied to is arguing against. While it may be the primary reason, it's not the _only_ reason.

I didn't watch the video (or read most of the page!) so it's possible I'm missing something, but the images show the wings having a propeller at each end, so I don't think a loss of cable tension would be catastrophic (a

It's neither an excuse nor a promise to break code. It's merely a version numbering scheme that makes it explicit which versions will break code. If you're using semver and you don't want your next version to break code,

The US values education quite a bit (I suspect other places do too, but I can only speak for US experience), and there's a long history of rewarding children with educational funds for all kinds of things. This is very commonplace. As

Maybe it's because I'm not trying to market anything myself, but I have no respect at all for reposters. Further, I think reposters should never be called "curators" and to confuse the two is just giving power/legit

Why? I get that it might not be the ideal framework, but that's a long way from being one of the worst things that's ever happened to the internet. (Or are you just trolling?)

I think the main motivation for a search company to go and build an email service (or an entire Google Apps competitor) would be the same reason Google did it... to mine user data. So to that end I don't think it really makes sense for

Serious question: Is this a special 64-bit edition, or is it just version number 64? I wondered this yesterday because suffixing with "64" is a common way to denote such a thing. I looked into it and as far as I could tell, no, it

In case anyone else is confused as I was, the "64" in "Firefox 64" appears to be the version number and not referring to a 64-bit edition or something other special edition.

I disagree that Spotify is a good Electron app (and I've never used Slack so I can't comment on that). I run Spotify on my work computer (Windows) and at home on my Mac and it's extremely resource heavy on both of them, and I
