Overwhelmingly, I find FireFox with AdBlock and click-to-enable Flash much better than Safari without them.

They insist on forcing, for HD as someone noted earlier, an open and non-patent-encumbered codec. h.264 is great, but it is an Apple-centric solution.

It's possible that a lot of Mac users are simply not objecting to something they should. I have been using aluminum Apple laptops since they had a PowerPC G4 and were called PowerBooks, and there have been some models with known heat

> Sure, it's more expensive in gas money, but when you factor in the reduced depreciation that's peanuts. What a disappointing attitude to have toward fuel consumption in 2015. :/

Another way of putting it is that you can get a job working with Renderman. What's really huge here is being able to interface open-source software with the commercial rendering pipeline that is used to make most of the movies we watch

They sure as hell do, they just aren't giving any back to their investors, yet, because money is pouring into their laps and they're happy to spend it. There's a difference between not being profitable and not making money, a

I hear that, and I heard it from your first post as well - just wanted to share my perspective. There are invisible diversity challenges, and economics is one. Yes, if I don't stutter, and I clean up, and pretend not to be a loudmouth

GPS was developed primarily to improve the aiming of nuclear weapons, afaik, let's not fool ourselves. Neural prosthetics sound like they want to create automatons, but it's possible that they want to deal with the military's

I've found myself facing the same dilemma. A membership to The Well is not a time machine, but I see notable folks with well.com e-mails and get jealous.

VC's aren't trying to make public opinion, and uber makes money. Frankly, it probably wouldn't hurt their business as much as their ego to stop operating in CA forever, even, since they launched here years ago and duplicated

Well, to start, it's not a place that people wake up in the morning and visit hoping they'll be drenched in video pre-roll ads. For that, we have Wikia. ;) EDIT: I noticed that the article kindly compares reddit to Wikipedia, whi

I'll add that minority candidates, including women and members of the LGBTQ+ community are often concerned about tokenization, and this can create a barrier for even the most well-meaning teams of mostly white mostly straight mostly ma

They're told by Uber that they must give this narrative. It may be true for some, but for others, telling the truth would be grounds for termination.

WebGL is about more than games, for sure, why would you want to block acceleration? You can go into add-ons and make it click-to-activate like flash, however.

Something I noticed after making my Flash click-to-activate a while back. That seems like a HUMONGOUS tunnel to create in order to allow copy to clipboard, and fairly irresponsible on GitHub's part. What developer doesn't know ho

I noticed this behavior when I fired up an older Mac I hadn't used in a year or so, it was refreshing that Flash always required click-to-activate, and I made this the setting on all my machines a while back and started suggesting to m

FWIW, harassment isn't free speech, even when you're talking about the government, and aside from basic decency, the company could be responsible, esp if it facilitated people actually following through with threats. It is unreaso

Calling her "Chairman Pao" is racist, but moreso, reductive.

> Pao does not get a pass on this dynamic for being a woman. It seems like she's been the subject of vitriol primarily for being a woman, since a lot of the vitriol predates the past few days.
