It's not. But it surely is possible in a country of many incredibly stupid people like America.

You missed one thing about the poor: they are useful as slaves--which is still legal in America. So America spends billions, maybe trillions over the last four to five decades to incarcerate people for anything, especially normal everyday

Or it could be that FF is perceptibly slower and currently has very weak dev tools. I personally use Chromium, which IMO, is the best of both worlds and actually, the only one of the three browsers that doesn't have EME (so you could

Your response is irrelevant. This isn't an issue of technology, it's an issue of trust and Apple has none because they can't keep from getting hacked. It's that simple. I don't give a fuck what technology they have.

Does this mean existing customers under contract can break their contract due to it changing?

I don't understand why they can't have an appeals process or even the possibility to talk to a live person and work things out. This is a business relationship, after all. This is simply indefensible on Apple's (and other com

This is horrible advice from a lazy coder. I tried it for a couple of years and now I have to go back and figure out my old code. Sure it's doable because it's good code, but it's an absolute waste of time that could have b

Too bad building software isn't at all like building a spice rack unless you're taking about continually rebuilding a spice rack and replacing its components constantly till it turns into a house (as 99% of software is wont to do)

"Simply put Americans don't seem to care very much about other Americans." You hit the nail on the head. What else do you expect from a society that won't even provide the option of healthcare to its citizens, that has

So you're saying that there are no homeless people that can take care of themselves but can't get back on their feet quickly. Seems unlikely.

$40k a year is a living wage. Even $32k is a decent living wage (yes, even in the bay area). To me, these figures sound like we're too unimaginative as a society in figuring out better systems of distributing this money. I know people

I can't think of a single positive thing any "company culture" I have experienced (around two dozen places in my lifetime so far) has ever created, but racism, sexism, harassment, homogeneity, demotivation, distraction, drunk

What's not compatible? He says he's getting the work done. I work exactly like he does for an American company in the bay area and it works out extremely well. Unless you have a deadline that day, I don't see what difference

Fair enough. So you're saying that the outrage is manufactured to focus people's attention on how our elections are bought (post Citizens United) instead of how our elections are bought (pre Citizens United)? Or is the actual issu

Even a fully autonomous, self-driving car is not intelligent. It's just advanced software. Shouldn't we wait for actual AI to exist before worrying about it? Otherwise, we're worried about something that many not ever exist.

The result of the ruling, however, has put almost a billion dollars in SuperPACs ( https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/superpacs.php ) just this election. It really doesn't matter what the details of the decision were-

Couldn't agree more. I assume that somewhere in such contracts there is a limit similar to how cell phone carriers' "unlimited" plan is always limited or some clause with more generic language doing the same thing. Other

I'm sorry that this happened to the author, but the author has no common sense whatsoever. In addition to suing these officers and the police department, he should probably consider getting some common sense and never approaching a p

"The areas of Philadelphia that are built in this style can hardly be called a 'safe environment', unfortunately" Center city is pretty safe. So is South Street. Old City. Plenty of other neighborhoods too numerous to me

Totally agree. Up to about 10-14 or so (depending on the child), the suburbs are likely great for children. Afterwards, once they grow up a bit and start to form their own identity, I'd say they're actually damaging to a lot of te

The problem is that the fat cat banker is the federal government in this case. They write the rules, they make the profits. And they do not give a shit about students, the economy, or anyone else because the government is a separate entity.

It really helps a lot when you have huge swaths of the population that are simply stupid and you can turn them against minorities to further manipulate and control them. I think the US is far and ahead of all other nations in such means of

"no strings attached (well, no bankruptcy)" Yeah, because it's worse than bankruptcy. You can't even get rid of the student loan debt if you go bankrupt. I'd say that's a bigger string attached than any oth

Pretty much defeats the whole purpose for developing the self driving car, no? Why not just have the guy drive then, if you still have to pay him? And now that he needs a degree, he'll probably cost more than a driver. Not to mention,

He says he's just slightly north of $100k (six figures) which I assume somewhere around $125. I'm certain he can get a similar salary in many parts of the country if he's a good SRE, at the very least: Seattle, Portland, Phoe
